The SCADA Uniform Conversion Project aims to update outdated supervisory control and data acquisition systems at Palm Coast's Water and Wastewater plants. This project is driven by the necessity to replace incompatible hardware and software to ensure seamless monitoring and control via Human Machine Interfaces (HMI). Utilizing a standardized platform will enhance inter-connectivity and operational efficiency across treatment facilities. The project costs $189,000 and includes software, integration services, hardware, and a three-year service agreement funded by the Utility Capital R&R Fund.

Conversion driven by necessity to replace outdated hardware and software. Existing SCADA software is incompatible with Windows 7 and hardware is in need of replacement. • Conversion will allow a standardized hardware & software platform for inter-connectivity between all Water and Wastewater Treatment Facilities SCADA Uniform Conversion Project Justification
SCADA Uniform Conversion Project Selection Process • RFP process was utilized to select SCADA system supplier/integrator. • Three proposals were submitted. • The Selected provider was chosen in the ranking process and has also performed successfully on similar projects for the Utility. • Other proposals were significantly higher due to mark up on software, higher overhead and higher integration costs.
SCADA Uniform Conversion Project • Uniform platform allows for increased functionality and Operator/IT familiarity between plants. • Greater flexibility, reliability and optimization of the operations at the treatment facilities by enabling each SCADA system to monitor, control and inter-connect with each other. • Consolidated maintenance requirements, lower upgrade costs and reduced staffing. ADVANTAGES
SCADA Uniform Conversion Project Price / Funding Project Total - $189,000 • Software • Integration Services • Three Year Service Agreement • Hardware • Funding from the Utility Capital R&R Fund
