Contract AwardInformation TechnologyDetected Jun 5, 2026

The Authority is replacing its legacy iFix SCADA platform, which relies on obsolete Visual Basic scripting and is increasingly incompatible with modern hardware and cybersecurity requirements. On June 5, 2026 staff requested and received approval to execute a work order with McKim & Creed, Inc. under an existing continuing services contract to rebuild the SCADA system on VTScada, aligning with neighboring counties and improving interoperability.90, including a $20,000 owner’s allowance, to document the existing application, design and develop the VTScada system, run it in parallel with iFix, train operators, migrate five years of historian data, and decommission iFix upon acceptance. While the primary integrator is chosen, this is a substantial multi-month implementation that may drive needs for networking, cybersecurity, hardware upgrades, redundancy, and follow-on automation and integration services around the new SCADA environment.

Scope includes 200 HMI screens, ~12,000 tags, historian migration, XLReporter report updates, and 40 hours of operator training under a 2021 instrumentation and controls continuing contract.

The cooperative said internal training, a training server, and member training would continue through December 2026 and August 2027 as part of the Polaris migration. Staff had already completed profiling, testing, and several half-day sessions with the project manager. The decision is made, but the implementation still needs setup, training content, and support around member onboarding.
