MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Scott Curtin, Public Works Director
DATE: February 24, 2021
SUBJECT: Resolution 2021-10 — To Execute A Professional Engineering Services
Agreement
The purpose of this memo is to request Council's Support of Resolution 2021-10 to formalize an
agreement with HDL Engineering to continue with the SCADA integration work associated with
the Water, Sewer, and Waste Water Division.
To date HDL Engineering and Borealis Controls have conducted site inspections of all SCADA
related facilities, documented system components at those locations, and confirmed our software
licensing and network infrastructure. The City of Kenai is awaiting receipt of an updated city-wide
network diagram that will show the locations of major components and how they work together.
That document is anticipated to be received by February 26, 2021.
We have already purchased some new communications equipment to replace existing outdated
equipment that we have been struggling with keeping operational. We intend to expand on that
work primarily out to our various lift stations updating the programming as we go.
It should also be mentioned we have additional funds already appropriated by Council within the
Reservoir #1 Telemetry Upgrades Project through passage of Ordinance 3033-2018 as well as a
lift station upgrade project under Ordinance 3009-2018. As this SCADA Integration work
proceeds, and as long as the City remains satisfied with the tasks being completed a future
Resolution may be provided to Council to direct those funds to the existing SCADA Purchase
Order to allow for continued progress in this area.
Council's support is respectfully requested, I am available to answer any questions you may have.
