Pre-RFPInformation TechnologyDetected May 19, 2026

The Osage Beach/Lake Ozark Joint Sewer Board May 19, 2026 agenda lists “Offsite backup procedures for servers at the plant location” as a new business item, indicating the board wants to formalize data backup and disaster recovery for the plant’s servers. No vendor, solution, or cost is identified yet, suggesting they are at the policy and planning stage for protecting plant operational and administrative data. This is a relevant opening for IT and cybersecurity vendors who provide backup software, cloud storage, DRaaS, or related consulting for critical infrastructure.A practical next conversation would be to help Public Works and plant operations staff scope requirements, such as retention policies, failover objectives, and integration with existing SCADA/operations systems, and then propose a compliant, affordable offsite backup solution tailored to a small joint sewer authority.

This appears focused on protecting plant server data; could involve both policy and technical implementation, including cloud or secondary site backups.
