The Water Capital Improvements fund (7114) includes a “SCADA UPGRADE” project with a $40,000 professional services line in the current budget and a dedicated project identifier, though there is no evidence of a selected vendor. SCADA work under the water capital program suggests the city aims to modernize its water system monitoring and control, possibly at wells, tanks, or distribution points. This is a prime opportunity for SCADA integrators, control system engineers, and OT cybersecurity vendors.The city will need design, programming, panel upgrades, and possibly network and security enhancements; engaging now can help shape the technical approach, from protocol choices and redundancy to operator HMI design, before formal procurement.
