DATE: June 17, 2014
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Personal Services Agreement for the Annual
Maintenance of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
System for the Water and Sewer Systems (South Coast Systems, Inc.)
RECOMMENDATION:
By motion:
1. Waive the formal bidding requirements pursuant to Section 3.4.306(e)(iii) of the
City of San Juan Capistrano's Municipal Code, and;
2. Approve a Personal Services Agreement with South Coast Systems, Inc. for the
annual maintenance of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
System for the Water and Sewer Systems for a three year term, beginning July 1,
2014, with three one-year renewal options, subject to available funding in the
operational budget.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The use of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system allows for the
remote monitoring and control of the water and sewer systems. The SCADA system
monitors the water and sewer systems twenty four (24) hours a day, three hundred and
sixty five (365) days a year. The remote monitoring and control reduces staffing
demands as it allows a single operator from a fixed location to monitor the system, with
minimal field visits to ensure the accuracy of the information provided. The constant
monitoring of the system minimizes overtime and alerts the designated on call staff of
any potential issues that occur after normal operating hours.
South Coast Systems Inc. has developed customized programming for the City to
control the SCADA system and has continually maintained this programming since
2008. Ongoing maintenance allows for the SCADA system to continue functioning at an
appropriate level. Failure to maintain the SCADA system could potentially result in the
failure of the system, necessitating an increased need for manual operation, resulting in
an increase in staffing costs, and/or resulting in damage to pumps, pipelines, or other

assets. South Coast Systems, Inc. has agreed to hold current pricing in place for the
upcoming year, with subsequent annual adjustments subject to All Urban Consumer
Price Index (CPI-U) index changes. Staff therefore, recommends that the City Council
waive the formal bidding requirements pursuant to Section 3.4.306(e)(iii) of the City of
San Juan Capistrano's Municipal Code and approve a Personal Services Agreement
with South Coast Systems, Inc. for the annual maintenance of the SCADA System for
the Water and Sewer Systems for a three year term, beginning July 1, 2014 through
June 30, 2017, with three one-year renewal options, for an amount not to exceed
available funding in the annual operating budget.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
Pursuant to Section 3.4.306(e)(iii) of the City of San Juan Capistrano's Municipal Code,
the Request for Proposal process may be waived "when extenuating circumstances
would make the formal request for proposal/request for quotes not the most cost
effective approach." The existing SCADA system for the entire water and sewer
systems has been developed and maintained by South Coast Systems, Inc. While the
programming used to control the SCADA system is open architecture, the specific
design of the City's SCADA system has been customized to meet the City's needs.
Therefore, it would not be cost effective to competitively bid this out due to the
additional time it would take a different programmer to replicate South Coast Systems,
Inc.'s previous work.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Not applicable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total annual cost of services to be provided by South Coast Systems is estimated to
be approximately $50,000 annually. Funding for this contract has been included in the
City's Fiscal Years 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 Proposed Budgets. The term of this
Agreement is for three years, beginning July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017, with three
one-year renewal options (extensions), for an amount not to exceed available funding in
the annual operating budget. At the conclusion of the original three year term, any
Agreement extensions will be subject to an annual All Urban Consumer Price Index
(CPI-U) adjustment. If all three extension options are renewed, the Agreement could
carry until June 30, 2020.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL REVIEW:
• November 5, 2013 -The City Council approved a Personal Services Agreement
which terminates on June 30, 2014.
