Water & Wastewater Commission Review and Recommendation December 1, 2021 Government That Works for All COA Strategic Direction: Commission Meeting Date: Council Meeting Date: Department: Purchasing December 9, 2021 Client: Rick Coronado Agenda Item Recommend approval to negotiate and execute a contract with Logical Concepts, Inc. d/b/a OmniSite, to provide remote monitoring and storage of operational data of the Austin Water lift stations’ existing telemetry units, for a term of five years in an amount not to exceed $460,000. Amount and Source of Funding Funding in the amount of $90,819 is available in the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Operating Budget of Austin Water. Funding for the remaining contract term is contingent upon available funding in future budgets. Purchasing Language: Sole source. N/A. Prior Council Action: Boards and Commission Action: MBE/WBE: December 1, 2021 — To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission. Sole source contracts are exempt from the City Code Chapter 2-9C Minority Owned and Women Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program; therefore, no subcontracting goals were established. The contract will provide remote monitoring and storage of operational data of the Austin Water lift stations’ existing telemetry units. The OmniSite telemetry units are cellular based communication devices that monitor the status of Austin Water lift stations and package plants to regulate wastewater flow. OmniSite is the sole source provider for the cellular monitoring and website interface serving OmniSite telemetry units. The solution is critical for Austin Water to reduce the number of sewer overflows. Without timely notifications of increased flows, the plant team cannot adjust the treatment of effluent to prevent an overflow. PRICE ANALYSIS Cost Analysis: The proposed contract pricing is unchanged from prior contract.
