RECOMMENDEDACTION: Adopt a resolution authorizing the purchase of a remote terminal unit
(RTU) and accessories from Siemens Power Transmission and
Distribution, Inc. (Siemens) of Palatine, Illinois for the Killelea Substation
Rehabilitation Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Electric Utility Department is in the process of finalizing the
construction agreement for the Killelea Substation Rehabilitation Project with Rosendin Electric, Inc. (Rosendin) of
San Jose, California as previously authorized by the City Council on May 3, 2006 following project redesign work
which was completed by Power Engineersof Hailey, ID in March 2007.
For purposes of reducing the project cost, staff recommends a direct purchase cf the RTU and accessories as sole
source from Siemens rather than acquiring the RTU from Rosendin Electric as part of the construction agreement.
A direct purchase is expected to reduce cost by as much as $25,000.
The RTU system will be Siemens Model TG5700 complete with Station Manager 2 components, modem, status
input cards, DC analog input cards, relay output controllers, control output termination cards, converters, power
supply, communication module, enclosures, and marshalling cabinet. The system will include complete plans,
drawings, documentation. installation, configuration and turn -up services. The Siemens RTU will be compatible and
consistent with the existing Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system that is currently in operation
at EUD's control center.
To realize these cost savings and since this is long -lead time equipment, staff recommends Council approval of the
procurement of the RTU and accessories for the Killelea Substation Rehabilitation Project. The estimated project
completion date is May 1, 2008,
FISCAL IMPACT: The projected acct is t $60,000.
FUNDINGAVAILABLE: Bond proceeds are allocatt d in Account No. 161.1082
