RECOMMENDATIONS: That the Board of Public Utilities: 1. Approve the First Amendment to the Professional Vendor Services Agreement with Open Systems International, Inc. in the amount of $101,500 to complete warranty services and extend the term of the contract to November 30, 2022; and 2. Approve an increase of Work Order No. 1024305 in the amount of $50,000, for a total cost of $2,938,307. BACKGROUND: On August 2, 2013, the Board of Public Utilities approved the Electric Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system hardware, software and network upgrade project, Work Order No. 1024305, and award of a contract to Open Systems International Inc. (OSI) in the amount of $785,307. At that time the Board authorized change order authority of 15 %, or $117,796, in the event that additional services beyond the scope of the agreement were needed. The system upgrade was essentially complete in November 2015. During execution of the project, it became evident that limitations in Riverside's electrical network simulation limited the functionality of several advanced software modules in the system. Additional services from the vendor are required to update the electrical network simulation models to enable the full functionality of the modules that are part of the system. With these software tools, system operators will be able to perform real -time power flow and contingency analysis studies to property plan for potential system disturbances ensuring optimal reliability and resiliency
