DATE: August 15, 1990
SUBJECT: Telemetry For Remote Sites
As you are aware, $55,000 has been allocated in this year's
budget for the above. These upgrades and computer enhancements will
allow us to allocate our man-hours in a more productive manner by
--reducing travel time, fuel costs and physical inspections. After
approval, I would anticipate this project to be completed within six
months of that date. Encumbrances will be carried over into FY-91.
Quotes have been received from vendors relative to this work and
a brief summary is as follows:
o Florida Measurement and Control (Aquatrol)
Hardware & Software -- $35,870.00
This is a sole source supplier to provide additions to existing
Aquatrol equipment. The hardware and software addition will add
automation to Wellfield #5 which will include start/stop, flows and
water level drawdowns. Drawdown instrumentation will also be added to
Wells 23 and 7R. Additionally, we would then be able to abandon
several of the Southern Bell leased phone lines which are used for
start/stop controls only.
o Sensus Technologies (Rockwell)
Metering equipment -- $ 3,876.50
Equipment will be provided to modify existing Rockwell flow meters
at each well and then information will be transmitted to the Water
Treatment Plant through our telemetry system. We spec and use
Rockwell (now Sensus) water meters exclusively for flow measurement in
our wells and distribution system.

o Electrician (R.A.J Electric)
Hardware and wiring installations -- $ 6,000.00
We have been using this vendor for our electrical needs in our
water system and have been extremely happy with the quality of work,
service response and pricing. Several other local vendors have been
previously used and did not meet our standards relative to time and
costs.
Total anticipated cost: $45,746.50
Our Water Treatment Plant personnel will be providing some
support labor with hardware installation thereby helping to keep
costs at a reasonable level.
I would like to request this item be placed on the Village
Council Agenda for their review and approval on August 23, 1990. I
will be happy to address any of their questions or concerns at that
time.
