Approval of and authorization to execute the Services Agreement with Haynes Equipment Company for Telemetry and SCADA Upgrades
End
Background:
The Verdigris River Water Treatment Plant SCADA Upgrade project will modernize the plant’s control systems to ensure safer, more reliable, and more efficient operation. The existing programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) software are outdated and no longer supported, creating operational risks and limiting the City’s ability to troubleshoot issues or integrate newer technologies. This project replaces all major PLC processors with the latest Rockwell ControlLogix units and updates the related programming so that plant processes-such as raw water pumping, treatment operations, and high-service pumping-operate on current, supported technology.
Alongside the hardware upgrades, the project includes complete modernization of the plant’s SCADA software. The integrator will install the current Rockwell FactoryTalk platform, update all human-machine interface (HMI) screens, convert existing RSView applications, and ensure all servers and operator workstations run modern, secure software versions. The new system will first operate in parallel with the existing one so plant staff can be trained and the contractor can resolve any issues before the full cutover, minimizing operational disruption. Afterward, a formal Site Acceptance Test will ensure all alarms, graphics, reporting, and operational displays meet the City’s requirements.
The equipment quote supporting this project includes new PLC components, software installation, programming, and multiple site visits for installation and startup. In summary, this project replaces aging control technology with modern, secure, and fully supported systems, strengthening the reliability of the City’s water treatment operations for years to come.
