1 of 5
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Joseph Cevetello, Chief Information Officer, Information Services
Department, Customer Experience and Support
Subject: Approval of Agreement for Water and Wastewater Consulting Services for
SCADA Systems Integration and Support
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Award RFP# 125 to Vertech Industrial Systems, LLC, a California-based company
for professional services to conduct a comprehensive survey of the City’s
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system for water and
wastewater facilities, development of a SCADA Master Plan, development and
implementation of SCADA Standards, and consulting services on future water and
wastewater related capital improvement projects.
2. Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute an agreement with Vertech
Industrial Systems, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $560,750 (including $50,977 in
contingency) over a five-year period with future year funding contingent on Council
budget approval.
Executive Summary
Like most water utilities, the City of Santa Monica manages water production, treatment,
and distribution via a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system.
SCADA is an automated computer control system for remotely monitoring, operating,
and storing data for a process. Currently, SCADA exists for City water and wastewater
facilities, but the component systems are disparate, unstandardized, and isolated from
one another. Centralization and standardization of potable and wastewater system
hardware and software is necessary to enhance operational and reporting efficiencies of
the City’s water systems. The City has established a goal of complete water self-
sufficiency by the year 2020 achieved by the combined effects of water conservation,
advance treated water reclamation, and increased storm water reuse, though this goal
is also reliant on the efficient deployment and operation of current and future water
resources. Modern SCADA provides diagnostics and user-friendly means of controlling
2 of 5
plant processes to help achieve optimal plant performance and operational decision -
making. At this time, staff recommends executing an agreement with Vertech Industrial
Systems, LLC (Vertech) to complete a comprehensive survey of the City’s SCADA
system, develop a SCADA Master Plan, establish and implement system standards for
modern SCADA, and provide maintenance and on-call system support. The contract
would be for an amount not to exceed $560,750 (including 10% contingency) over a
five-year period.
Background
The City’s water production, treatment, and distribution system consists of over 250
miles of pipeline, the Arcadia and Charnock water treatment facilities, four reservoirs,
ten wells, a wastewater collection system of over 150 miles of pipeline, the Moss
Avenue Pumping Station (MAPS), the Santa Monica Urban Runoff Recycling Facility
(SMURRF), two sewer flow monitoring stations, and five remote urban runoff diversions
to sewer. These facilities are located both in the City and the City of Los Angel es.
From the 1990’s through the early 2000’s, the City’s water and wastewater telemetering
and remote control systems were limited in their abilities to control many of the critical
operating functions and monitored only basic functions such as reservoir and wet well
levels, pump speeds, and intrusion alarms. On September 16, 2008 (Attachment A),
Council authorized a contract to provide SCADA system design and improvements for
the MAPS and SMURRF facilities to enhance operational efficiencies for the two sites.
This included purchase of the required hardware and software for SCADA system
implementation at the facilities.
On July 27, 2010 (Attachment B), Council authorized a contract to purchase and
integrate additional hardware and software for SCADA at Water and Wastewater
facilities. Council later authorized extension of this contract on September 24, 2013
(Attachment C). The work performed under these contracts improved process
efficiency by adding limited remote site monitoring from the Arcadia Water Treatment
Facility and integrating water and wastewater systems onto a common SCADA software
platform. However, communication with remote sites via unreliable telemetering
systems still remains inconsistent, control abilities remain limited, and process graphical
3 of 5
representation is outdated. If not addressed, these limitations could hinder
implementation of two major initiatives, the Clean Beaches Initiative (CBI) and the
Sustainable Water Infrastructure Project (SWIP), which require enhanced system
control and functionality, including robust monitoring and forecasting tools for system
optimization.
Discussion
Accurate and timely reading and recording of water and wastewater facility data is
crucial to operating the systems effectively. As the City’s SCADA system exists today,
its graphics do not present data to operators according to present -day International
Society of Automation (ISA) standards for Human Machine Interfaces (HMI). Use of
high-performance HMI enables operators to monitor and keep systems running at
optimal levels and allows them to foresee treatment plant upsets. Such functionality
can aid operators in mitigating plant shutdown severity and duration, if not prevent
shutdown altogether due to its reporting of useful statistics, metrics, and diagnostics.
Monitoring functionality is also limited, particularly for the remotely operated sites. This
limitation results in response personnel having to travel to the sites to determine the
nature of a problem when an alarm rings on the phone. W ith more reliable system
communication and improved monitoring and control capability, an operator could
remediate issues remotely.
To enhance system functionality, staff recommends hiring the expertise of Vertech, a
qualified industrial-process-control-integration consultant to undertake a holistic system
survey and generate a SCADA Master Plan that is relevant to the present state of the
City’s Water and Wastewater control systems. Such a report would highlight the
strengths and weaknesses of the current state of the City’s SCADA infrastructure and
reveal gaps to overcome. Staff would then use this information to implement measures
that enhance operation in accordance with present-day standards and available
technology. Furthermore, staff would work with the consultant to develop SCADA
standards for programming and developing graphical interfaces. Such an approach has
been proven to be successful in other public agencies, such as the City of Guelph
Water Services Department in Ontario, Canada which shows favorable results in
4 of 5
reliability of automatic control schemes, ease of operating equipment from SCADA and
troubleshooting automation problems, and efficiency in future automation development
due to implementing SCADA standards. Integration of future City projects, such as the
CBI and the SWIP, would be implemented in accordance with the established
standards. Improving SCADA-provided operational-awareness would aid the City in its
goals of water self-sufficiency due to increase in potable water and reclaimed water
facility operating efficiency.
Vendor/Consultant Selection
On July 14, 2017, the City issued a Request for Proposal for professional services to
perform an assessment of the City’s water and wastewater SCADA system, provide a
roadmap for implementing upgrades/enhancements to the system, and provide on -call
integrator services, training, and user documentation. The RFP was posted on the
City’s on-line bidding site in accordance with City Charter and Municipal Code
provisions. 2,537 vendors were notified, 66 vendors downloaded the RFP, and 11 firms
responded. Responses to the RFP were reviewed by a selection panel of staff from the
Public Works Department and the Information Services Department. Bids were
received from the following firms: ACS Engineering, Inc., Aspect Engineering Group,
Beavens Systems Inc., Cannon Corporation, Control Automation Design, Enterprise
Automation, KDC Systems, Northern Digital, Inc., ProUsys Inc., Technical Systems,
Inc., and Vertech Industrial Systems, LLC.
Evaluation was based on the following selection criteria: technical competence,
experience, staffing capability, project timeliness, cost of services, quality control, cost
control, company stability, client references, value added, and breadth of service. Staff
then interviewed three shortlisted firms. Based on this criteria and criteria in SMMC
2.24.073, staff recommends Vertech Industrial Systems, LLC as the best qualified firm
to provide SCADA services based on favorable feedback from reference checks and
their proven track record of working with municipalities to generate comprehensive
SCADA Master Plans, develop SCADA standards, and successfully implement system
improvements. Vertech has performed Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and
SCADA system hardware and software upgrades for multiple public agencies. Their
5 of 5
project history includes developing PLC and SCADA standards, performing retrofits of
outdated software and hardware, and migrating old SCADA systems to modern systems
with minimal downtime for municipalities, including Irvine Ranch Water District, Adelanto
Public Utilities Authority, Orange County Sanitation District, City of Buckeye,
International Boundary and Water Commission Nogales, and City of La Verne.
Financial Impacts & Budget Actions
The contract to be awarded to Vertech Industrial Systems, LLC is for an amount not to
exceed $560,750 (including 10% contingency). Funds of $174,334 for expenses
estimated to be incurred in FY 2017-18 are available in the FY 2017-18 budget in the

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System Improvements for the Moss Avenue
Pumping Station and Santa Monica Urban Runoff Facility
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a first modification to
Professional Services Agreement No. 1583 with Beavens Systems Incorporated to furnish the
hardware for the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system for the Moss Avenue Pumping
Station and Santa Monica Urban Runoff Recycling Facility. This modification is not to exceed
$65,000, for a revised contract total of $135,000.
Executive Summary
Beavens Systems Incorporated (Beavens) is currently providing design, selection of equipment and
programming of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) upgrades for Moss Avenue
Pumping Station (MAPS) and Santa Monica Urban Runoff Recycling Facility (SMURFF). The SCADA
system automatically controls the pumping, electrical, instrumentation and piping controls and
operations of both plants. A contract modification is required to purchase the hardware and software
needed to complete the installation of the new SCADA system. Funds for this project are available in
the Sewer Pump Plant Maintenance Account.
Discussion
On February 25, 2008, Professional Services Agreement No. 1583 was entered with Beavens to
provide SCADA system improvements for the city's wastewater pumping station and urban runoff
recycling facility. The original scope of work included a complete turnkey redesign, installation,
operation, training and maintenance of a new SCADA system. The original scope of work did not
include the purchase of hardware and software for SCADA upgrades.
The SCADA upgrades will replace the city's outdated control system with an automated, networked
control system which consists of remote site equipment that gathers data in real-time to monitor
system status, identify current operating needs, and manage equipment maintenance of city
wastewater and urban runoff recycling facilities. The new SCADA system is equipped with a remote
alarm function to indicate when a facility is operating outside of its parameters; and it alerts operators
who can respond immediately to repair potential problems.
Beavens re-designed a SCADA system that effectively uses communication technology to help the
city better manage its wastewater and urban runoff recycling facilities. The City plans to integrate its
SCADA systems at the various water and wastewater facilities and monitor and operate from a central
control facility, located at the Arcadia Water Treatment Plant, which has operators working 24 hours
per day.

Water and Wastewater Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System
Upgrade, Installation, and Maintenance
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute an
agreement with Beavens Systems Incorporated, a California-based company, in the amount of
$805,788 for three years, with an option to renew for an additional two years. This is to upgrade,
install, maintain, and provide training on the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
system for water and wastewater facilities.
Executive Summary
An industrial process control system known as SCADA is an automated computer control system that
allows remote operation and control of system equipment and facilities. Currently, SCADA systems
exist for limited water and wastewater facilities on different software platforms that do not
communicate with one another. A system-wide development and integration of SCADA hardware and
software is necessary to enhance operational efficiencies and control capabilities. Staff recommends
Beavens Systems Incorporated for the project at a cost of $805,788.
Background
The City operates a water production, treatment, and distribution system of over 250 miles of pipeline,
the Arcadia and Charnock water treatment facilities, four reservoirs, ten wells, a wastewater collection
system of over 150 miles of pipeline, the Moss Avenue Pumping Station (MAPS), the Santa Monica
Urban Runoff Recycling Facility (SMURRF), two sewer flow monitoring stations, and five remote urban
runoff diversions to sewer. These facilities are located both in the City and the City of Los Angeles.
Since the 1990's, the City's water and wastewater telemetering and remote control systems have
been limited in their abilities to control many of the critical operating functions and have monitored only
basic functions such as reservoir and wet well levels, pump speeds, and intrusion alarms. Water and
wastewater systems operate on two different software platforms that do not communicate with one
another except by telephone call alarms. On February 25, 2008, the City entered into Agreement No.
1583 with Beavens Systems Incorporated to provide SCADA system design and improvements for the
MAPS and SMURRF facilities to enhance operational efficiencies for these two sites. On September
16, 2008, Council approved an amendment to Agreement No. 1583 to include the purchase of the
required hardware and software for SCADA implementation at these two facilities. The remaining
water and wastewater facilities either have no SCADA or continue to operate with outdated
telemetering systems.

12/1/2017 Water & Wastewater SCADA System Upgrade, Installation and Maintenance -City of Santa Monica
Discussion
The accurate and timely reading and recording of water and wastewater flow and equipment
information is crucial to meeting the requirements of operating a modern water and wastewater
system. Currently, response personnel often must travel to the remotely operated site to determine
the nature of the problem when an alarm rings on the phone. On many occasions, corrections to the
operational system could be made remotely by staff at the Arcadia water treatment facility without
having to summon response personnel and vehicles during non-working hours.
With the success of the SCADA system implemented at MAPS and SMURRF, staff developed a
master plan to upgrade the remaining water and wastewater facilities onto a SCADA system. A
critical part of this master plan is to integrate all existing SCADA components onto the same operating
system platform for improved communication. The master plan outlines the design specifications and
identifies the required hardware, software, installation, and training. The integrated SCADA system
monitors will reside at the Arcadia facility and plant operators will have the ability to control remote
sites instantaneously with "real-time" remote monitoring and 24-hour surveillance. To ensure
successful implementation of the SCADA master plan, staff requires the assistance of a qualified
industrial process control consultant.
Contractor/Consultant Selection
On May 12, 2010, the City issued a Request for Qualifications for professional services to upgrade,
install, maintain, and provide training on the SCADA system for water and wastewater facilities with
the specifications outlined in the SCADA master plan. The following five responses were received
and reviewed by staff from the Water Resources Division and the Information Systems Department:

Beavens Systems Incorporated 14 $165
DLT&V 56 $188
DWG & Associates 147 $80

Staff recommends Beavens Systems Incorporated based on its technical competence, staffing
capability, project timeliness, price, quality control, and cost control and reporting. Beavens Systems
Incorporated is also located nearest to the City among the responding vendors, reducing response
time and cost for emergencies. In addition, other respondents are reluctant to work with the
specifications outlined in the City's SCADA master plan and would most likely ask to provide their own
designs for the project.

Modify Agreement with Beavens Systems Incorporated for Water and
Wastewater Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System
Upgrade, Installation, and Maintenance
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate and
execute a first modification to Professional Services Agreement #9246 (CCS) in the
amount of $331,785 with Beavens Systems Incorporated, a California-based company,
to provide additional upgrades, installation, software maintenance, and training on the
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system for water and wastewater
facilities. This will result in a 5 year amended agreement with a new total amount not to
exceed $1,137,573, with future year funding contingent on Council budget approval.
Executive Summary
The City has used the services of Beavens Systems Incorporated for the past three
years to provide upgrades, installation, maintenance, and training to its SCADA system
for water and wastewater facilities. SCADA is an automated computer control system
that allows remote operation and control of system equipment and facilities.
A first modification to Professional Services Agreement #9246 (CCS) is proposed to
further upgrade and continue maintenance that is required to fully integrate all SCADA
systems that exist at water and wastewater facilities. A first modification to this
agreement in the amount of $331,785 would extend the term by two years and increase
the total contract amount from $805,788 to $1,137,573.
Background
On February 25, 2008 the City entered into Agreement No. 1583 with Beavens Systems
Incorporated to provide SCADA system design and improvements for the Moss Avenue
Pumping Station (MAPS) and Santa Monica Urban Runoff and Recycling Facility
(SMURRF) facilities to enhance operation efficiencies for these two sites.
1
On September 16, 2008, Council approved an amendment to Agreement No. 1583 to
include the purchase of the required hardware and software for SCADA implementation
at these two facilities.
On July 27, 2010, Council approved the selection of Beavens Systems Incorporated to
upgrade, install, maintain, and provide training on the SCADA system for water and
wastewater facilities. Beavens Systems was selected following the issuance of a
Request for Qualifications for professional services in May 2010. Five responses were
received and Beavens was selected based on its technical competence, staffing
capability, project timeliness, price, quality control, and cost control and reporting.
Heavens Systems is also located nearest to Santa Monica among the responding
vendors, reducing response time and cost for emergencies. Professional Service
Agreement #9246 (CCS) was executed in the amount of $805,758 for upgrades to the
SCADA system in fiscal year 2010-11, and maintenance of the system in fiscal years
2011-12 and 2012-13.
Discussion
With the success of the SCADA system implemented at MAPS and SMURRF, staff
developed a master plan to upgrade the remaining water and wastewater facilities to a
SCADA system. A critical part of this plan was to integrate all existing SCADA
components onto the same operating system platform for improved communication.
The plant operators at the Arcadia Water Treatment Plant now have the ability to control
some remote sites with "real-time" remote monitoring and 24-hour surveillance.
In continuation of the upgrades provided to date, tasks to be performed by Beavens
Systems under this agreement modification at a cost of $131 , 785 include:
• Procurement and upgrading the SCADA software to the latest version for Water
Treatment facility, MAPS, SMURRF, and all remote sites.
• Design and installation of additional SCADA screens for overrides at all locations.
• Installation of additional sensors and controls for new and upgraded Water
Treatment equipment at Arcadia facility, San Vicente Generator, and at Charnock
Well Field.
2
• Design and installation of monitors and controls for finished water pumps and
Zenon Microfiltration system at SMURRF.
• Design and installation of additional alarms and SCADA screens for MAPS.
• Design and installation of Wonderware screen at MAPS.
• Installation of a terminal server to provide full integration of all water and
wastewater facilities which includes creating of user accounts and Historian
Database setup.
Additionally, Beavens Systems would provide ongoing software maintenance for the
SCADA system at water and wastewater facilities at a cost of $100,000 per year,
including software patches, service packs, system customizations, and technical
support. The requested maintenance budget is appropriate based on past years'
experience. Although the system resides on City servers, it is not supported by the
City's Information Systems Department (ISO). Given the wide array of remote sites and
locations controlled through this SCADA system, as well as the critically important need
to maintain communications and control functions of the water and wastewater systems,
Beavens' capability to enter the system remotely and effect repairs expeditiously has
proven very beneficial in the past.
Given the project-specific knowledge and experience obtained by Beavens Systems
Incorporated during the past three years, staff recommends a first modification to the
agreement for continued maintenance and upgrades to water and wastewater's SCADA
system be awarded to Beavens Systems Incorporated.
Financial Impacts & Budget Actions
The first agreement modification to be awarded to Beavens Systems Incorporated is
$331,785, for an amended agreement total not to exceed $1,137,573. Funds in the
