DISCUSSION: In May 2017, the Board authorized Task Order No. 8 for Carollo Engineers (“Carollo”), which included, in part, the following: (1)A Communications Study of the District’s in-basin facilities ($278,194), and (2)The evaluation of alternatives and development of Contract Documents for instrumentation and communication improvements at one remote pressure reducing valve (PRV) location ($65,739). This original Scope of Work for these two efforts is now complete. The Communications Study resulted in four primary recommendations: 1.The District’s existing low-frequency radio system provides a reliable backbone for the District’s communication system, and can be improved with relatively minor optimizations to the system. 2.Increasing the height of the radio tower at the Waste Water Treatment Plant will improve reception and transmission reliability. 3.Installing high frequency, wireless Ethernet relay stations at Angora, Flagpole and Keller Tank Sites, to redirect or duplicate radio paths to these relays, will shorten the low-frequency radio path, increasing reliability and throughput. 4.Performing a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Needs Assessment will inform the District how to properly manage the higher volume of duplicate signals that will result from the proposed radio configuration. General Manager Richard H. Solbrig Directors Chris Cefalu James R. Jones Randy Vogelgesang Kelly Sheehan Duane Wallace 15 Julie Ryan July 19, 2018 Page 2 At Staff’s request, Carollo has prepared a Proposal (attached) for the completion of the SCADA Needs Assessment (Item 4, above), which requires specialty consultation. Carollo’s estimated cost to perform the proposed scope is $82,200. However, because the Communication Study was completed approximately $100,000 under budget, there is no need to extend the previously authorized budget to add the proposed scope for the SCADA Needs Assessment. Staff will return at a later date with separate proposals for design of a taller radio tower for the Plant (Item 2, above) and for equipment and programming services to support station upgrades (Item 3, above). The PRV alternatives evaluation resulted in Contract Documents for the Pine Valley PRV Improvements, which will be constructed this summer. The next phase of the PRV Improvements Project will use the results of the alternatives evaluation to develop Contract Documents for additional PRV Stations in need of replacement. Three stations have been identified as having reached the end of their useful life, based on the results of the 2012 Condition Assessment performed on the Water Distribution System: Susquehana PRV, Pioneer Trail at Marshall Trail PRV, and Rocky Point PRV. At Staff’s request, Carollo has provided a proposal for the preparation of Contract Drawings for these three stations (attached), for a not-to-exceed price of $73,100. The (1) SCADA Needs Assessment and (2) design of the PRV Improvements at three sites, will be performed as Task 8B and 8C, respectively. Staff recommends that the Board authorize Tasks 8B and 8C in an amount not to exceed $73,100.00. This effort will be funded, in part, by the El Dorado County Water Agency, pending approval of the 2018-19 Project List.

Recommended improvements include the following network architecture configuration changes: • Installation of three (3) relay towers, connected to each other through a high bandwidth 5.0 gigahertz (GHz) wireless Ethernet network in a ‘ring’ topology reliability, and also connected directly to Control 1. • Use of four “groupings” of remote sites. Three of the remote site groupings will connect to the three relays (configured based on best communication path between remote site and relay). At least some of the remote sites associated with these groupings (to be determined by the District) will continue to send critical status and alarms over their existing direct links to Control 1, thereby producing a secondary (backup) communication path and reducing the possibility of communication loss. The remote sites in the fourth grouping will connect directly to Control 1. The District is seeking a backup communication plan for the sewer pump station site in this grouping, consistent with the District’s sewer pump station Levels of Service goals. • Modified polling and/or store and forward configuration at the relay sites to reduce network traffic. The proposed network architecture will allow the existing and new networks to operate simultaneously, thereby enabling the ability for the DISTRICT to migrate to the new network, if and when desired, while minimizing disruptions. This will provide a transition path, using the existing system to support the DISTRICT’s communication needs as the new system comes online and is adjusted over time to reach its optimized performance goals. Per the Communications Study Report, implementation of the communication network improvements will require: • Software configuration for all remote site radios by a qualified Motorola certified integrator o Remote sites should need minimal configuration (in terms of software modification), but will need to be configured to an appropriate polling cycle • Configuration of the routers at each of the 5 GHz backbone tower locations, so that data traffic is managed appropriately • Configuration of the 5 GHz radio hardware to enable a fast, high bandwidth ring network • Configuration of the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) servers at Control 1 (with updates to the Wonderware SCADA software) to enable receipt and management of additional (and duplicate) data signals from the remote and relay sites • Development of additional SCADA faceplates and screens to accommodate the additional SCADA and diagnostic data that will now be available (as needed) 17 TASK ORDER NO. 8B PAGE 2 of 4 A detailed investigation of the existing SCADA communication system is now needed, to provide the DISTRICT with a more detail (in terms of overall scope and budget) for required SCADA and remote terminal unit (RTU) upgrades necessary to make the best use of the proposed network configuration upgrades. Scope of Services As requested by the DISTRICT, CONSULTANT will complete an investigation of the existing SCADA communication system and prepare recommendations for system upgrades. This will consist of the following tasks, which will be added to the Scope of Services currently being performed under the existing Task Order 8 (which currently includes Tasks 1-8). Task 9 – Information Needs CONSULTANT will prepare (and transmit) a list of information needed prior to initiation of field investigations. As a minimum, CONSULTANT will require the following: •Existing programmable logic controller (PLC) and RTU programs •Existing human machine interface (HMI) applications •SCADA Wonderware application files •Existing license information, including tag quantities Task 10 – Desktop Review of Existing System Configuration Upon review of requested information, CONSULTANT will conduct a desktop review of the existing system configuration, noting additional information to collect during the field investigation effort and preparing a list of additional feedback needed from the DISTRICT for completion of the overall effort. Task 2 also includes development of a list of remote sites to visit (per Task 3) to estimate system-wide needs in terms of expected programming effort and additional hardware needs required to support the communication network improvements proposed in the Communication Study Report. Findings of the desktop review will be summarized in a Technical Memorandum (TM), delivered in accordance with Task 4. Task 11 – Field Investigation CONSULTANT will conduct a field investigation of the existing SCADA system hardware and software. This will include on-site review of the existing SCADA system servers, workstations, and software applications. Task 3 also includes field investigation efforts for a number of remote sites, chosen to serve as models for the remaining (similar) systems across the network. Envisioned site visits would include 1-3 locations per site type (water tank, sewer pump station, etc.), with site selection to include stations that already have upgraded RTUs (Motorola ACE3600) and those that still operate with the older radios (Motorola Moscad L). The DISTRICT will provide appropriate staff to participate in the field investigations of the SCADA system and remote sites. DISTRICT staff will provide site access, answer CONSULTANT’s questions regarding the existing system (configuration, operation, and issues), and provide feedback regarding desired SCADA interface configuration following completion of all improvements. Findings of the field investigation will be summarized in a TM, delivered in accordance with Task 4. The fee associated with this task includes time for three (3) days on-site for two (2) CONSULTANT staff. 18 TASK ORDER NO. 8B PAGE 3 of 4 Task 12 – Evaluation of Improvement Options CONSULTANT will complete an evaluation of improvement options for the following system challenges: • Back-up Communication for Sewer Lift Stations. CONSULTANT will develop back-up communication recommendation(s) for the sewer lift stations that will belong in the “Direct to Control 1” site grouping following proposed communication network improvements. • Network Traffic. CONSULTANT will develop an approach to modify the polling and/or store and forward configuration at the relay sites with goals of reduced network traffic. • Duplicate Tags at SCADA. CONSULTANT will develop an approach for handling duplicate signals coming into SCADA from each site (as currently occurs for the Luther Pass Pump Station, and as could occur with the proposed network system upgrades if a mitigating configuration is not used). Options for signal handling will be recommended, with the expectation that the recommended configuration will allow the preferential receipt of signals sent over wireless Ethernet in lieu of those sent by the RTU at the same site (and only if the Ethernet is unavailable). This will include recommendations for programming at the RTU (via template), if appropriate given final recommendations. • Use of Wonderware Platform at Field Stations. CONSULTANT will lead a workshop to discuss the benefits and/or limitations associated with the existing Wonderware platform used at the field stations as compared to similar platforms. Recommendations for replacement and/or upgrade of the existing system (as appropriate) will be summarized in the Task 5 deliverable. • InTouch Tagging. CONSULTANT will develop instructions for programming in InTouch so that tags received via wireless Ethernet are preferentially selected over RTU signals received from the same site. A summary will be included in the Task 5 deliverable, and a short training session will be conducted for DISTRICT chosen staff via video conference. Task 13 - SCADA Needs Technical Memorandum The findings of Tasks 2, 3, and 4 will be summarized in a Draft TM, along with recommendations for required hardware, software, configuration, programming, and testing necessary to support communication network improvements proposed in the Communication Study Report. This TM will also include a cutover plan for integration that ties directly to the schedule for network system upgrades and planning level cost estimates for proposed SCADA improvements. CONSULTANT will present the findings and recommendations at a Draft SCADA Needs TM Review Workshop where the DISTRICT’s comments will be collected for incorporation into a Final TM for the DISTRICT’s files/use. • Task 13 Deliverables: Draft SCADA Needs TM (electronic) Final SCADA Needs TM (electronic, plus 10 hardcopies) Task 14 – Project Management and Meetings CONSULTANT will perform the overall management of the project defined herein following CONSULTANT’s typical procedures for resource allocation, scheduling of work, quality assurance/quality control, and invoicing.

Improvements for the first upgrade site (Pine Valley) include: 1.New PRV and piping (due to condition) in existing vault 2.Pressure transmitters upstream and downstream of the existing PRV 3.Valve controller (with position indicator) for flow monitoring 4.Hydroelectric generator and associated electronics as sole-means of power supply 5.Cellular modem 6.Above-grade control panel 7.Temporary bypass pumping during construction Per the BODR, selection of a power supply alternative at each site (hydroelectric, solar, or grid-based) will determine allowable instrumentation (flow meter or valve controller) and communication (radio, cellular, or Sensus-based communication) technology options. The DISTRICT has chosen the following PRV sites for upgrade via Package 2 efforts: •Susquehana PRV o Power, instrumentation, and communication improvements will match those at Pine Valley. o Site improvements will include a new PRV and new piping. •Rocky Point PRV o Instrumentation improvements will match those at Pine Valley. o Power and communication improvements are dependent on cellular signal strength at site. With confirmed cellular signal, hydroelectric generation will be implemented. If cellular signal is found by the DISTRICT to be weak, utility power and communication through a Motorola ACE radio terminal unit (RTU) will be implemented. o Site improvements will include a new vault, new PRV, and new piping (up to [and including] downstream isolation valves and tee). •Pioneer Trail/Marshall o Power, instrumentation, and communication improvements will match those at Pine Valley. o Site improvements will include a new vault, new PRV, and new piping (approximately 250 feet, with new tee, and zone isolation valve). 22 TASK ORDER NO. 8C PAGE 2 of 4 Scope of Services As requested by the DISTRICT, CONSULTANT will prepare project packages with electronic (editable) design details for the DISTRICT’s use in preparation of a final bid set. This effort will consist of the following tasks, which will be added to the Scope of Services currently being performed under the existing Task Order 8 (which currently includes Tasks 1-8). Task 15 – Field Assessment and Site Survey CONSULTANT will visit the three (3) sites identified above to verify site conditions, evaluate access, and confirm space availability (and/or limitations) associated with construction activities. CONSULTANT will work with hired subconsultant (Wood Rogers, Inc.) to complete field surveys for each site using the appropriate vertical and horizontal plant datum to produce a topographic mapping and boundary field surveys of the project sites for use in the preparation of the design drawings. Mapping will include all above-ground existing conditions (fences, roads, curbs, etc), all below-ground features visible from the ground surface (sewer, storm water drains, and/or other utilities [water, power, etc]), and pipe invert elevations. •Task 15 Deliverables: Electronic summary of findings/photos (email) forwarded to District’s Project Manager, electronic (CAD) topographic mapping files Task 16 – Design Details This task includes development of design details for the DISTRICT’s use in developing construction documents, using a District-designated engineer as Engineer of Record. Project deliverables will include the following items, submitted in electronic (editable) format: •Site-specific civil plans •Mechanical layout details •Electrical and instrumentation typical details and notes •Related technical specification language •Constraint and sequencing language, including that required for bypass pumping during construction Design of improvements for each site will consider an above-grade alternative (removable shed-style enclosure, or other). CONSULTANT will work with the DISTRICT to evaluate options that consider ambient local temperatures and other site-specific limitations. CONSULTANT will also prepare construction cost estimates for each project deliverable. Estimates will be based on available quantity take-offs, manufacturer’s quotes, and experience incorporating similar project elements in other projects. Estimates will be prepared to a level of accuracy consistent with the standards of the AACE International. CONSULTANT will prepare a draft (90%) project deliverable and conduct a workshop to present the design details and collect feedback from DISTRICT’s staff.

DISCUSSION: The Information Technology (IT) Department is requesting the Board to find the purchase of a new Nimble SAN as exempt from formal bidding procedures and authorize the purchase of a new Nimble Storage Area Network (SAN) from Cadence Team (Cadence). This purchase will allow IT to continue to use the District’s existing Nimble in order to better support disaster recovery plans, business continuity goals, provide additional storage space for projects like the sewer pipe inspection efforts and continue to have the low cost of ownership that has been proven by Nimble in the past. The cost of ownership from the current Nimble has effectively been $0 in respect to staff time managing and troubleshooting the Nimble. Nimble has the best customer service experience on the market because they keep constant contact with each system, monitoring for space, failed drives, configuration issues, virtual machine issues and more. When an issue is detected, Nimble automatically opens a case, and in the event of a failed drive, automatically ships the drive to the District, calls to confirm the drive arrived and offers over the phone assistance replacing the failed drive. This could happen in the middle of the night and the drive could be shipped out before the IT Department notices the failed drive in the morning. It is because of this experience with Nimble, IT staff has been able to focus on other projects instead of managing and operating a more complex SAN solution saving time and money. Keeping with the Nimble SAN products will allow us to leverage our existing infrastructure to improve our Disaster Recovery processes. Purchasing a new Nimble SAN will allow the current Nimble and new Nimble to replicate data between each other automatically. The current Nimble can be moved to Diamond Valley Ranch General Manager Richard H. Solbrig Directors Chris Cefalu James R. Jones Randy Vogelgesang Kelly Sheehan Duane Wallace 27 Chris Skelly July 19, 2018 Page 2 (DVR) where the IT Department can replicate existing mission critical servers and data to DVR. The District would need to purchase two units from another manufacturer to get this same functionality. This same technology will allow the migration of 34 Terabytes (1 TB = 1000 GB) of data to the new Nimble SAN effortlessly as the current SAN and new SAN can be configured to do this transfer automatically. Awarding the purchase to Cadence Team will provide the District with the best price and because Cadence has been hired by the District in the past, the intimate existing knowledge Cadence has of the District’s infrastructures will allow the installation to proceed without the need of retraining a vendor of the District’s security policies, network infrastructure and virtual infrastructure. In the technology market, vendors can use a purchasing avenue called a “deal registration”. Typically hardware manufacturers will only grant one deal registration per customer per project to a vendor and Cadence has that deal registration for the District’s SAN Upgrade project. This deal registration provides Cadence (a certified small business) the ability to compete with bigger resellers and pass on some additional savings to the District. In summary, staff feels this purchase is exempt from the formal competitive solicitation process due to item #2 in the District’s Purchasing Policy, “When the item is required or is economically preferable to match or be compatible with other furnishings, materials or equipment presently on hand and the purchase is made from the manufacturer or supplier who supplied other such furnishings, materials or equipment.” The new SAN is required to be compatible with the District’s current SAN in order to have robust backup recovery and business continuity infrastructure and save staff time because of the familiar interface, current knowledge of the hardware and proven track record of being easy to manage and fast to repair.
