Council ratifies Rockwell Supply contract to upgrade SCADA system; 120-day completion window with daily penalty
Summary
The council approved Resolution 25-02 to ratify a contract with Rockwell Supply to upgrade the city's SCADA/Central Telemetry Unit and Skate O Meter system to restore remote monitoring; staff said the contractor began work and was given 120 days with a $200-per-day penalty for missed deadlines.
The South Ogden City Council ratified Resolution 25-02, approving an agreement with Rockwell Supply to upgrade the city's SCADA (Central Telemetry Unit) and Skate O Meter system to resolve communication and alarm problems that have limited remote monitoring of water infrastructure.
Public works staff explained the current system no longer communicates reliably, producing frequent alarms and requiring staff to respond in person. "This new system will get us in compliance and should be able to move us forward," the presenter said, noting the contractor has already begun purchasing materials and staff estimated a 120-day completion window. The contract includes a $200-per-day penalty for delay unless negotiated due to material supply or other approved reasons.
Councilors asked why the item was brought as a ratification rather than placed on the agenda earlier; staff said delays were due to scheduling and attorney review but emphasized that ongoing alarms and lost remote control made prompt action necessary. After discussion the council moved, seconded and approved the resolution in a roll-call vote; council members recorded "Yes" during the roll call.
Provenance: discussion and roll-call vote occurred from SEG 487 through SEG 623.
