Procurement Language: Sole Source. MBE/WBE: Sole source contracts are exempt from the City Code Chapter 2-9B (Minority-Owned and Women-Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program); therefore, no subcontracting goals were established. Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: May 20, 2026 - To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission. Additional Backup Information: This contract will upgrade and modernize Austin Water’s Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) hardware and OASyS software, which are used to monitor and control water distribution, collection, and lift station systems. These upgrades are necessary to maintain system functionality, reliability, and contractor support. The OASyS SCADA system monitors and controls water treatment and distribution operations in real time, collects and logs data for analysis and compliance, issues alarms for abnormal conditions, and enables remote operation of pumps, valves, and other critical equipment to ensure reliable and efficient service. Schneider Electric Systems USA Inc. is the original provider and the only certified integrator authorized to support the proprietary OASyS SCADA system used by Austin Water, including its custom applications and communication protocols. This is a new contract that will consolidate both hardware and software maintenance and support into a single agreement for improved efficiency and continuity. If this contract is not approved, Austin Water will be unable to modernize or fully support its SCADA system, increasing the risk of system failures and impacts to critical water and wastewater operations.  Item 5 Water & Wastewater Commission: May 20, 2026 Council: May 28, 2026 Contract Details: Contract Term Initial Term Optional Extension 1 Optional Extension 2 Total Length of Term 1 year 1 year 1 year 3 years Contract Authorization $2,424,717 $2,424,717 $2,424,717 $7,274,151 Note: Contract Authorization amounts are based on the City’s estimated annual usage.
