West Allis committee approves $45,900 SCADA monitoring upgrade at pumping station
Summary
The committee approved a $45,900 bid from Energex to install cellular monitoring at a pumping station so staff can remotely see pump runs and power outages; the system monitors but does not control equipment.
The committee approved a resolution to accept Energex's bid for a SCADA monitoring upgrade at a pumping station in the amount of $45,900.
Mike Brophy, a public works staff member, said the upgrade updates equipment the Municipal Sewer District (MSD) installed in the early 2000s and will provide a cellular connection so staff can "see any time a pump runs, anytime power goes out." Brophy said the upgrade provides monitoring visibility but does not remotely control the station.
Alderman House asked what SCADA stands for; Brophy replied with the supervisory-control acronym. Committee members moved and seconded the item and approved it by voice vote.
No conditions or amendments to the bid award were recorded in the meeting minutes.
