City to seek approvals for SCADA server replacement and accept preliminary water-service applications
Summary
Staff requested authority to negotiate a $135,109 contract to replace two end-of-life servers for the electric SCADA system and presented two preliminary water-service applications for parcels at 1340 McNulty Drive and 1375 McCalty Road; staff said server replacement is required because existing 2011 servers no longer support updates and that property owners will bear water extension costs.
Alex presented a system upgrade request for the city's electric SCADA system, noting servers installed in 2011 "will no longer support any software updates" and that the package includes two servers, software installation, and migration for a total cost of $135,109. Alex said the work is necessary to maintain operations of the electric grid-control system.
Jackie Scott presented two preliminary water-service applications: 1340 McNulty Drive (1.9-acre parcel) and 1375 McCalty Road (1.54-acre parcel), both in Cabarrus County within the city's area B and zoned LDR. Staff recommended accepting preliminary applications and allowing owners to proceed to final application excluding annexation; water-line extension expenses are the property owners' responsibility and out-of-city rates apply. Council asked about drought implications and staff said the projects are small and not affected.
No final contract award or board action is recorded in the work session transcript; staff presented these items for council consideration ahead of formal action.
