LETTER. FROM
City Clerk Reimche presented the following letter which had
O]NGRESSMAN DON
been received from Congressman Don Edwards regarding early
.a r EUNARDS RE
election day projections:
U,./ EAPJY ELECTION
DAY PROJECTIONS
"As you know, early election -day projections have come to
play a significant role in discouraging participation in our
electoral process, particularly in California. In 1980, we
witnessed a three percent decline in turnout, about 400,000
California voters, and watched citizens actually leave the
polls because of the projections by broadcasters.
I feel that it is in the national interest for the
broadcasters to act responsibly by voluntarily refraining
from early election projections, but apparently, the
networks don't perceive they are interfering with citizens'
constitutional rights.
Clearly, there is a growing concern in the West about the
effect of early election projections. According to several
polls, 71% of Western voters believe that broadcasters
should not have announced their projections until all the
polls had closed and 64% favor prohibiting early projections
entirely.
Because I firmly believe that a person's vote is a precious
103
104
Continued February 15, 1984
broadcasters have refused to act responsibly, I am
introducing a Resolution in Congress this month calling upon
the broadcasters to take voluntary action. I have enclosed
a copy for your information. I encourage and welcome your
support.
If you have any questions or need further information,
please don't hesitate to call me (202) 225-3072, or Debbie
McFarland and Pam Barry at (202) 226-2313. I look forward
to receiving your comments and working with you on this
issue.
Sincerely,
s/Don Edwards
Member of Congress"
No formal action was taken by the Council on this matter.

presented a letter which had been

L. MALIDY RE for its correspondence opposing SB 778 (Dills) which relates
SB 778 DILLS to binding arbitration. Senator Maddy indicated that the
measure failed to receive the number of votes needed for
passage in the Senate Finance Committee on January 25, 1984
and further indicated that he will continue to oppose SB
778.

ITEMS
AWARD - CCNMACT Agenda item K-1 "Award Contract for SCADA System" was
RE SCADiA SYSTM4 introduced by Staff who apprised the Council that this
project includes the replacement of the present separate
Electric and Water telemetering control systems with a
single, state-of-the-art system. Phase I is the design and
purchase of the equipment. The data base and this equipment
along with the necessary transducers and wiring will be
installed by the City under Phase II of the project.
The specifications described both necessary and preferable
performance and operational.criteria for the City's systems.
The bidders were requested to describe their system and to
note any exceptions where they deviated from the
specifications.
Plans and specifications for this project were approved on
Continued February 15, 1984
The City has received the following 7 bids for this project:
BIMER BID Ultimate System

Moore Systems, Inc.

$300,577.00
$325,869.00
$499,052.18
$625,280.20
$275,000.00
All of the proposals were reviewed. The three lowest bids
were evaluated in depth. The review indicated none of the
top four offered a substantially improved system for the
additional cost. The specifications included six major
areas on which the evaluations were based.
(1) Supplier background including a proven track record
with the equipment being proposed;
(2) System function;
(3) Master station hardware;
(4) Renate terminal hardware;
(5) Support services;
(6) Price.
The system proposed by Northwest Utilities/Andover Controls
does not meet the specifications in the first three areas.
The system is a building monitoring and control system in
which automatic control routines are loaded into the Remote
Terminal units by the Master. Thus, the Master Station
processor is very small and relatively slow. This is
unacceptable for the Utility Department's operation. In
addition, the proposal indicated the system has not been
used in electric distribution or water distribution field.
Thus, the system is not recommended.
The system proposed by Moore Systems substantially meets or
exceeds the specifications. The company's experience is
primarily in electric distribution, monitoring and control
including hydroelectric facilities. They have sold over 30
systems similar to the one proposed, including one at the
City of Roseville. Our contacts at Roseville expressed a
high degree of satisfaction with both the equipment and the
company
Moore's equipment will support many more inputs than the
number required, which provides future flexibility. The
hardware is entirely modular consisting of plug-in circuit
cards and components built by Moore. The price includes
approximately $10,000 for a complete set of spare circuit
cards (one or more of each type), including the central
processors. Thus, city personnel will be able to correct
any malfunctions of nearly all of the equipment in-house.
The system proposed by Multitronics is new in that they have
not delivered a system like it. Further, they have not
105
106 Continued February 15, 1984
utility. Based on this alone, we would not recommend award,
particularly when the difference in price is as small as it
is ($28,092.10). When long term costs associated with the
proposed hardware are considered, the price difference
essentially disappears.
The Multitronics system utilizes general purpose computers
built by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). Parts for the
computer are not included as they are normally serviced by
DEC under a service contract. This cost is presently
$5,615/yr. With the Moore system, the City would do its own
periodic maintenance and repair (which consists of removing
and replacing a plug-in card and sending it to San Jose for
repair). This cost is estimated to be just under $1,000/yr.
Based on 10 years life at 10$ interest, the present worth of
these two schemes are $34,500 and $6,100 respectively, a
difference of $28,400.
Based on the above, it is felt the Nbore proposal is the
most advantageous to the City. Thus, it is recommended that
they be awarded the contract to provide the SCADA system for
the City's Electric and Water Utilities.
It is further recommended that the "ultimate" system be
purchased. This will provide capacity for expansions to the
electric and water systems. This capacity includes both
additional stations (i.e., wells or other pump stations) and
additional points at existing stations (i.e. new circuits at
substations, power consumption at wells and other status
information). This will allow gradual improvement of the
utilities' operating efficiencies.
It has been the City's experience that purchasing additional
components as they are needed is costly - both from the
standpoint of staff and scheduling time and actual hardware
costs. In fact, individual remote terminal units for the
City's four-year old -storm and wastewater data acquisition
system cost roughly three times as much as when the system
was purchased.
