This team evaluation is an outcome of several years of effort by this team and previous work groups out of which this vendor selection was completed. We respectively request approval from the City Council for authorization to enter into contract negotiations with Pittencrieff Communications, Inc. (PCI) of Abilene, Texas. This company was selected from a field of three firms that provide and support SCADA systems throughout Texas. This memorandum outlines the methodology the team used to request and evaluate proposals for an upgraded telemetry system. The team primarily followed guidelines established by the Purchasing Department as shown in Attachment No. 1. These step by step procedures allowed an orderly progression of work to take place. From this procedure a clearly defined flow of information was established that eliminated overlap and duplication. The team subsequently obtained submissions from three (3) vendors out of an original list of ten (10) interested firms. The final three (3) vendors were evaluated separately by each team member and as a group. The evaluation was facilitated by a checklist as shown in Attachment No. 2. This evaluation list assisted the team in scoring each vendor based on their response to the specifications. The rating procedure examined each firm based on the following categories and the appropriate weighted factor: Page 1 of 2 (Item 10E) ITEM 10E.

Terms C Le-4er CITY OF ROUND ROCK, TEXAS SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM PCI COMMUNICATIONS INTRODUCTION We, with PCI Specialized Services Group realize the positive impact importance selecting the right integrator for a major component of your utilities control system can be. Instead of dwelling on the aspect of making sure not to pick the wrong vendor, we would like to offer for consideration reasons, features, and benefits of why we feel selecting PCI would be the right choice. We sincerely feel we have worked to create the right `match" of working relationships between the management and staff of the Round Rock Water Utilities and support divisions and those responsible for the proper system design and installation integration management with PCI Communications. Perhaps there will be those on the decision making Team for the City of Round Rock that are not completely aware of the commitment PCI has made for almost a year to work with the water utilities management, and other city management personnel in Round Rock, to first understand the present system and future needs, before moving forward. In a few short paragraphs I would like to offer a brief explanation of the overall mission statement for PCI Communications and the goal and purpose of the Specialized Services Group within PCI. The most recently adopted mission statement for PCI Communications is as follows: Our mission Statement, `Providing Customized Wireless Communication Solutions for Business. This includes two -way dispatch radio, mobile telephone, and mobile and fixed wireless data systems. We are one of the largest providers in the industry, but cater to businesses of all sizes. Local service is provided from each of our 32 sales and service centers throughout Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Arizona." Forward: `PCI considers itself a total communications company!" What advantages, then, are there for Round Rock by selecting PCI as your integrator? PCI is a NASDAQ publicly traded company based in Abilene, Texas. in this photo house the overall executive and field — support staff for PCI. Elsewhere in Abilene is the corporate warehouse covering more than 10,000 square feet of radio and small parts inventory, and another area equal to this for large inventory products, repeaters, microwave products, and the like. PCI has just completed a merger with AMI Communications, a subsidiary of Fidelity Capital, the largest mutual fund company in the world, Capital Fidelity owns approximately 25 -26% of PCI itself while the complete AMUFidelity package that was completed with PCI makes them about a 46% partner with PCI. What advantage is this for Round Rock, now and in the future? The corporate offices depicted PCI CORPORATE OFFICES, ABILENE, TEXAS 2 In reading the Round Rock RFP, one of the key issues was service in the future. By selecting PCI to integrate your system, the question of conunitment and financial security needed for that level of service is more assured than not selecting this type of integrator. The benefit received is that you go into the awarding process, final planning, installation, training, future support, and future service with more confidence your selected integrator will be there when you need them in the future. With Fidelity Capital backing our future growth and development, PCI cannot help but to succeed and prosper. We are already in one of the most dynamic industries in the world and PCI has the foundation and talent to make it all happen. In the past year, we with PCI Specialized Services have made numerous field trips to Round Rock. We were treated with a high level of cooperation in our quest to learn what type of system is in place now, and what can be done to create a much more efficient and reliable system. We met with the water utilities support group from Round Rock to tour each facility and make detailed notes, take photographs, and listen to what your people feel would help Round Rock, now, and in the future, as it continues to be one of the fastest growing communities in the United States. We feel we know Round Rock and we want Round Rock to know us, too. ROUND ROCK, TEXAS, WATER TREATMENT PLANT It became very apparent that the existing system was integrated by a company without the complete capabilities to solve future needs such as RF (radio communication) problems, open architecture hardware upgrading, open architecture software upgrading, and an ongoing preventative maintenance program with local offices (or near local offices). In addition, because more than one vendor was responsible for the hardware and software components, as the system has developed problems, no one company was present to stand behind the situation and seek a solution to the problem. This is one of the problems we see associated with doing business with "mom and pop ", or smaller, local telemetry integrators. They may, or may not, have the resources to stay current, the latest test equipment to analyze the situation, and the complete in -house trained staff in all areas of the SCADA challenge. Our plan is to solve that problem by contenting to work with our clients long after the initial installation is complete. PCI SYSTEM'S ENGINEER, RANDY WALKER GETTING AN INTRODUCTORY TOUR OF THE PRESENT SYSTEM AT THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT BY ELOY ESPINOZA, WITH THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK WATER UTILITIES SUPPORT GROUP 3 Following are a some more of the photographs taken during various field trips to Round Rock by the PCI Specialized Services group in our effort to get to know the system and the needs. ELOY EXPLAINING THE SYSTEM TO RORY LACY WPrII PCI SPECIALIZED SERVICES. RORY IS THE OVERALL SYSTEMS INTEGRATOR FOR THIS PROPOSAL ONE OF THE PUMPS AT THE ROUND ROCK WATER TREATMENT PLANT. CURRENT SENSORS TO DET- ERMINE A MORE INFORMATIVE PUMP STATUS WILL WILL BE INSTALLED ON ALL OF THESE UNITS. EXISTING RADIO TOWER AT THE ROUND ROCK WATER TREATMENT PLANT. WE PLAN TO GO UP TO 150' This photograph is of the existing radio tower located at the Round Rock Water Treatment Plant. After our various trips, including a complete radio path study, we have concluded our proposal would include extending this tower up to 150 feet. The communication system is the backbone of any good SCADA system. If the data has problems getting back to the Master Site, all of the hardware in the field and the Master Site, and the latest software available is of little use. RANDY WALKER, PCI SYSTEMS ENGINEER TAKING SOME OF THE LATITUDES AND LONGITUDES NECESSARY TO DO A QUALITY RADIO PATH (PROPAGATION STUDY). HERE, RANDY IS AT THE LAKE GEORGETOWN SITE. As noted, the backbone of a good SCADA system is the communication links developed. The path study done by Rory Lacy from the data received from the field trips offered very trustworthy indications of the tower height " needs and the success rate of the antenna locations selected within this proposal. THE PCI TEAM VISITING ONE OF THE REMOTE SITES IN ROUND ROCK AS NOTED, KNOWING THE SYSTEM WELL LS SO IMPORTANT. THIS SITE IS AN ISOLATION VALVE. 4 Each of the existing RTU's will be removed and a completely new NEMA 4X package included as part of the PCI proposal. The new PCI system will offer a much more user friendly hardware integrated package for the future preventive maintenance of the system. To conclude the introduction of the PCI proposal, we have included a reproduction of our Total Support Team concept. The foundation CI SPECIALIZED SERVICES - ; �c. ; . > of this plan is to have the full support of I "'. - the systems engineering staff with the r: fCl PROJECT COOJUINATOR.

PCI'S DESIGN OVERVIEW AND OPERATIONAL PHILOSOPHY After making several technical information field trips beginning in 1995, we feel PCI has an over all system plan that will successfully offer the City of Round Rock a high quality and user friendly water SCADA system that will be used for many years without need for major overhaul. THE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM : BACKBONE OF A OUALITY SCADA SYSTEM The backbone of the system will be proposing, in our opinion is the 900MHz open architecture communication system we will recommend. The City of Round Rock already was in possession of a 900MHz frequency, so this was also a sound financial and engineering decision, also. If the City should elect to give up its rights to the frequency you are holding, to go with any other communication protocol, a good chance that getting another 900MHz frequency would be from difficult to impossible. In regards to this frequency range, unless absolutely necessary, it would be unwise to deviated for any part of the system from 900MHz. As noted, it is fortunate that the City leaders secured this frequency. Other frequency ranges, especially those in the voice range of VHF (150- 174MHz) or UHF (450- 512MHz) suffer from varying problems, most notably, interference. We believe you may have already been experiencing some failures due to communication. problems. The data radio in the 900MHz range, PCI will propose, the Microwave Data Systems radio, is especially designed for continuous data transmission. Each data radio offers user friendly capabilities that allow easy access and understanding as to the real time efficiency of each particular unit. Available through the radio's DB -25 interface connector using the MDS Programmer/Test Set, a terminal with an RS -232 interface, or an IBM PC or compatible computer with CGA, EGA, VGA. A laptop PC works great to easily field check the inner status and operational efficiency of each remote data unit. A full range of testing parameters are possible that easily be done by the Round Rock staff without calling in outside sources in order to pinpoint where a communication problem might exist. Please refer to the MDS tech data sheet found in Section 7 for a detailed examination of the MDS Model 2310 900MHz data radio. Place special attention to such things as duty cycle. The MDS Model 2310 has a data turn around time of 10msec. including the request to send and clear to send times. At 1200 Baud, the MDS has a bit error rate of only of lx10 to the 6th at 110dBm. Voice type radios are not made to this efficient mode and hence suffer the problems mentioned. THE CENTRAL SITE : WHERE THE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM MEETS THE PC To make sure the 900MHz system throughout the Round Rock system area sends and receives the data efficiently, PCI proposes to do two things: (1) To extend the existing tower up 150 feet at the Central Water office where the data is gathered and used, and (2) To construct a new 90 foot tower at Lake George Town. 43 Now that we have secured a quality communication system from the remote sites back the Central location, our next objective was to design a quality hardware and software package. THE MASTER STATION HARDWARE The Master Station PC System, PCI is proposing, consists of dual PC's located at the Central Water Treatment Plant. The primary PC will be able to communicate with the other PC also located at the Central site. The primary PC will be able to communicate with four other terminals located at the Round Rock City Hall. This offers a great deal of information gathering and flexibility to the City. PCI is proposing a PC system based on two PC's. The main PC is a DKM 100MHz Pentium with 32 MB RAM, 2.1 GB Hard Drive, Colorado Tape Backup, Quad Speed CD -ROM, DOS 6.22, a 28.8 modem, a Intel ether express network card, and a 21" SVGA Monitor, all based on a Windows NT system. The second PC will be a 486 DX 100 MHz CPU with 16 MB of RAM, 630 MB, Intel ether network card, Colorado Tape Backup, 14.4 KBaud FAX/Modem, Quad CD -ROM, a 17" SVGA monitor, DOS 6.22, and a Windows NT system. There will be two printers included. The first will be a 24 PN Wide Carriage Dot Matrix Printer, and the other a 24 Pin Narrow Carriage Dot Matrix printer. MASTER STATION SOFTWA The PCI proposal recommends the use of a MMI graphics package made by the Wonderware Company. We are proposing the use of Wonderware NT. We are recommending Wonderware due to its excellent graphical representation and user friendly operation. It is widely in use in many, many applications just as the one we are proposing for the City of Round Rock. You may refer to the literature and graphics previously done by PCI in Section 7, C of this packet. The Wonderware will be programmed to operate with the remote site PLC's via modbus protocol, which also is an industry accepted, open architecture protocol. This leaves the City the ability to add a wide variety of available control devices on the market that can be easily integrated into the system without retrofitting additional hardware components to the system to enable the hardware and software to link up. This is a very important point to consider of all the areas we will discuss. We are now ready to discuss the integration of the remote sites into the Central designed system.

CALIFORNIA MICROWAVE MICROWAVE DATA SYSTEMS MDS 2300 914 - 960 MHz MULTIPLE ADDRESS RADIO TRANSCEIVERS FEATURES a Fully Synthesized Operation — Programmable from 914 MHz to 960 MHz — One Model for All U.S. MAS Channels 928/952; 928/959; 932/941 MHz Expanded Radio Diagnostics — Central Polling of All Diagnostics — New Remote Maintenance & Control in New Compact Enclosure Design — Includes RF Unit & All Options — Rugged Die -Cast Case NEMA 4X Enclosure Available — Multiple AC & DC Voltage Options Full Operational Compatibility with All MDS 1000 & 2000 Series Radios DESCRIPTION The MDS 2300 Series of transceivers is the most recent addition to our MDS 2000 Series of Multiple Address Radios. These radios set the standard for data communica- tions in the 900 MHz frequency bands for Multiple Address Systems. The MDS 2300 Series transceivers feature a frequency synthesizer with programming agility not previously available in radios operating in the Multiple Address frequency bands. A single MDS 2300 Series transceiver can be programmed over all available 12.5 kHz & 25 kHz, Part 94, MAS channels in the 928/952 MHz, 928/959 MHz and 932/941 MHz bands. The MDS 2300 Series transceivers feature an internal microprocessor that provides advanced programming and diagnostic capabilities. Data handling characteristics such as RTS /CTS delay, soft carrier dekey, time- out -timer and MDS' exclusive patented* squelch tail eliminator circuit are all programmable functions. Diagnostic functions measured through the diagnostic module include power out, RSSI, various voltage levels, internal temperature and forward/ reflected power indications. In addition, when equipped with the loopback feature and used in a system with an MDS 2100 Series Master Station, these diagnostic mea- surements can be sent directly back to the master station and its associated PC diagnostic software. The new MDS 2310 data transceiver's design is highlighted by a compact and rugged die -cast aluminum case which houses the basic RF unit, and all diagnostic and modem options The flexible mounting bracket allows for two different mounting patterns —one is footprint compatible with MDS 1000 Series transceivers. The features and options that the industry has come to expect in MDS designs are all found in this new radio which is 50% smaller than its predecessor. Standard features include automatic frequency correction (AFC) to lock the transceiver frequency to that of its corresponding master station, high performance receiver specifications, continuous duty rated transmitters, and Factory Mutual and UL approvals. In addition, the MDS 2300 Series transceivers feature a number of internal data interface options, including 4800 and 9600 bps asynchronous and synchronous digital interfaces, which are detailed in this brochure. The MDS 2300 Series remote transceivers are operationally compatible with all MDS 1000 and 2000 Series radios and can be used in systems with MDS 1000 Series master stations and remote radios operating on 12.5 KHz chan- nels. All MDS units carry a one -year warranty. * Patent # 5,014,343 TYPICAL MULTIPLE ADDRESS SYSTEM Multiple Address Systems (MAS) provide communications between a central command and control site and remote data units.

Metricom is headquartered in Los Gatos, California and has developed license -free, high performance, low - cost regional data network systems that can be used in a broad range of personal computer and industrial applications. Metricom's UtiliNet® product line was developed to provide fast and affordable wireless networks for the electric utility industry. Initial applica- tions include distribution automation and demand -side management. More recently available UtiliNet products include wireless network implementations for the oil and gas industry as well as the water /wastewater industry. In June of 1994, Metricom introduced Ricochet'", a wireless data communications service. At the heart of Ricochet is the Microcellular Data Network" (MCDN'") system. The system is a series of metropolitan- and campus -based networks that enable wireless connections from desktop, laptop and PDA devices to any number of private and public networks. Ricochet can also enable advanced services that keep field employees connected to a variety of company -wide informa- tion. These services could include on -site and remote accessing of information such as manpower allocation, inventory analysis or distribution system configurations. r ■ ■ ■ O n a hot summer day in Southern California, electric utility employees are spending hours manually fine tuning the voltage level on power lines. They are manipulating a multitude of end - devices — such as capacitor banks — seeking to optimize the amount of energy provided to meet a staggering demand. During the summer floods of 1993, a regional water company in the midwest frantically dispatches field service workers to personally check pump stations and water levels throughout the service territory. Throughout long days and nights, field service personnel use valuable time to turn well pumps on and off in response to rising flood levels. In a large, remote Utah oil field there are thousands of wells, but the nearest road is ten miles from any master station. Dedicated employees spend hours, covering harsh terrain, to reach remote locations, to gather data from just a few wells. What's wrong with this picture? All three examples point to a void in data communications strategy. Sound familiar? An olcient data communications network should be able to send and receive data to and from multiple locations as well as exercise control over end - devices — SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition). SCADA isn't a new term to these industries. For years network operations managers have turned to phone lines, leased lines, MAS radio, microwave, trunked radio and more recently, cellular technology to communicate with end - points in large service areas and production and distribution systems. Yet, these approaches have never provided a comprehensive solution. Too often, a company's distribution SCADA THE UTILINET SOLUTION network is a patchwork of systems that provide incom- patible data, are expensive to implement and maintain, demand an inefficient allocation of a company's human and financial resources and just never really gets the job done right. UtiliNet, a wireless data communications solution from Metricom, changes all that. UtiliNet makes an efficient and sensible data communications network a reality. We can do this because unlike other wired or wireless networks, UtiliNet is not a patchwork of incompatible and disparate technologies. UtiliNet is one system, one network, that can handle all of your data communica- tions needs — whether it's communication with flow meters in a few lift stations or collecting data from 4000 wells in an Alaskan oil field, A UtiliNet network is a comprehensive wireless data communications solution that utilizes spread- spectrum radio in the 902- 928MHz area of the radio spectrum. UtiliNet networks are fast (9600 bps), operate trans- parently (in support of open systems architectures we transport your existing communication protocols like DF 1 and Modbus), automatically route data (we'll tell you how later) and are license -free (no pesky and expen- sive FCC licenses to purchase). So, capture field data that was once left uncollected. Control end - devices without having to dispatch a crew. Program UtiliNet radios to respond — in predetermined fashion — to changes in a system. Save money while getting more information, and on a more timely basis — near real -time. Use one system to create efficiencies that you only used to dream about. Use the money you save to start new projects. Do the unthinkable. Read on to find out how you can benefit from the UtiliNet advantage. 0 HOW UTILINET WORKS - A MESH NETWORK ►A Network Of Intelligent Radios... UtiliNet is a wireless data communications network based on packet switching and spread- spectrum radio technologies. At the heart of a UtiliNet network are radios that serve a number of functions. First, each radio interacts with end - devices to exercise some data collection or control function. Second, each radio inter- acts with the wider area network to facilitate network access. Third, each radio also acts as a repeater for all the other radios in the network. In this manner, each radio is also part of the network infrastructure. There- fore, any single radio could be collecting data from some end - device, while simultaneously transmitting other net- work data. UtiliNet radios are "intelligent" devices that execute a number of functions simultaneously. la That Create A Mesh. Much like a giant fishnet over a service area — UtiliNet radios work together to create a mesh. At each point where one thread of the fishnet crosses over another, a node is created in the wider area network. A node is one radio attached to an end - device(s). Because each radio can speak to and respond to every other radio in the network, each radio is an equal participant in the network. (The result is increased communication reliability because there is no single point of failure.) While a radio is interacting with an end - device(s), it is simultaneously acting as part of the mesh network. The concept of creating a mesh is central to what makes UtiliNet a truly robust data communication solution. a Programmable Intelligence, Each radio has the equivalent of a programmable logic controller (PLC) -like device located inside. The PLC enables the radio to act much like a small computer, carrying out any number of computing and command functions. The intelligence in each radio means that a system operator is able to delegate many routine deci- sions out into the system. The distribution of intelli- gence throughout a system means that a network opera- tor has more time to focus on the most important tasks. a Packets Hop From Radio To Radio... Each end - device radio generates a "packet" of data that is transmitted to some destination. The packet is "addressed" to the destination and entered into the network. The data packet traverses the network by "hopping" from radio to radio in the direction of the destination addressed - radio. The amount of "hops" between origin and destination radios are automatically minimized to increase transmission speed. The route chosen for traversing the network is dynamic and employs automatic rerouting in the event a particular data path is not clear (more on this later). - Creating An Excellent Multi Point - To - Multi - Point Network A robust mesh network is excellent for executing intelli- gent multi - point -to- multi -point communications. Traditional point -to -multi -point systems are prone to network congestion as data streams back towards a master station. A mesh network eliminates this problem as data is evenly spread across the entire mesh (i.e., a multi - point -to- multi -point network). Further, most of these traditional network topologies "poll ", gathering data sequentially. UtiliNet radios can be programmed to respond under predetermined parameters or on an unsolicited, report -by- exception basis — which is both faster and more efficient. UtiliNet gets you out to your data and back. 0 UtihNet radios are configured in a "mesh' topology Each radio is independently capable of communication to other radios in the network SPEED !ANN Mesh Networks are fast.

That simple fact is reason enough to take steps to better control and monitor power as it travels to the most distant places in an elec- tric utility company's power grid — the distribution system. Doing anything less is just throwing money away. Add in the fact that retail wheeling is just around the bend and better communications throughout a distribution system becomes a requirement. A UtiliNet mesh network makes distribution automa- tion a reality. Control reclosers, monitor feeder loading, pinpoint power outage locations. Even sectionalize to restore service to customers without ever involving oper- ations personnel. UtiliNet also supports advanced appli- cations like automatic distribution voltage regulation. By monitoring real time end - of - line voltage, capacitor banks can be switched on and off to implement a realis- tic conservation voltage control program. Get things done that used to go undone. ELECTRIC UTILITY APPLICATIONS And since UtiliNet supports multiple applications and multiple protocols simultaneously, the customer service group can benefit from the same UtiliNet system used for distribution control. Using Metricom's power line carrier technology, true 2 -way communications can be used to provide in -home displays for energy consump- tion data or real time pricing information. UtiliNet will also enable you to implement a true remote connect /dis- connect meter program in high turnover neighborhoods or with slow paying customers. Even monitor customer security systems. And since UtiliNet is an open system, other meter reading products such as those manufac- tured by Itron, can be integrated to carry data seamlessly across the network. Further, UtiliNet is scalable, accommodating an unlim- ited number of end - points and multiple master stations, whether they're used in stand alone applications or on a company -wide enterprise network. 0 "In a typical electric utility or water /wastewater service area, UtiliNet radios combined with intelligent end - devices are able to collect data or issue commands from /to a wide variety of end - points in a metropolitan setting" Water Industry For the water industry, UtiliNet means wireless SCADA communications for water production and distribution. Applications include the monitoring and control of reservoir levels, wells and booster stations, pressure zones, flow stations, water quality and corrosion control activities. Peer -to -peer or station -to- station communica- tions are a critical link in water systems (e.g., a reservoir calling for water from a well). UtiliNet wireless net- works can accomplish these important and common tasks without the expense and complications of tradi- tional architectures such as dedicated lines. The mesh concept, applied in a water system setting, removes any concerns over a single point of failure because every radio in the network becomes a virtual master /store and forward router. Wastewater Industry With the advent of tougher EPA and Clean Water Act legislation, the need for the monitoring and control of 1P STATION 3:13=1=E1 r` 1 WATER RESERVOIR 1 1 ti WATER TANK i a. GAS DISTRIBUTION LINES WATER/WASTEWATER APPLICATIONS CAPACITOR BANK SEWER AND STORM DRAINS sewage collection systems has increased dramatically. Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) applications are requiring monitoring of retention basins, sewer levels and flows, and the control of pumps, valves and back- water gates. Sewer Collection Systems require the moni- toring and control of lift stations, rain gauges, sewer regulators, samplers and data logging devices. The intelligence of UtiliNet's user programmable radios and RS -232 interface enable customers to connect to a myriad of instruments and control devices that imple- ment a communication serial port. This functionality gives customers flexibility that no other manufacturer of low -cost radios can match. Whether out in the field checking reservoir levels or examining a sewer collection system, the network is always accessible. Mobile access to the network with a laptop PC makes sure customers always know what is going on in the system. 0 "With UtiliNet radios and intelligent end-devices, gas distribution companies are able to create a distribution SCADA network to monitor and control pressure levels, city gates and check valves as well as enabling remote meter reading" FERC 636 has caused the oil and gas industry to seriously rethink the way business gets done. Operational efficiency has taken on a much more important role from wellhead to Local Distribution Company (LDC). Paramount to success in the new competitive environment are better communications within a system. Production companies need to exercise better control over remote wellheads. Transportation companies need to have better information about volume and inventory levels. LDCs need pricing, allocation and pressure information that reflect a higher degree of accuracy. These are just a few examples of com- munications needs that are currently addressed with expen- sive and disparate solutions — if solutions exist at all. A UtiliNet wireless communications network puts customers in touch with valuable information efficiently and quickly. Get wellhead volume and pressure data without having to send a field engineer to a remote wellhead once a week to gather data. Intelligent OIL & GAS APPLICATIONS UtiliNet radios can be deployed at the wellhead with a preprogrammed response function that registers alarms and responds without ever having to interact with an operator at a master station. That functionality translates into huge operational efficiencies. There is no limit to the amount or type of data a UtiliNet radio can gather at your most remote sites or just around the corner. System implementation is easy because UtiliNet radios transport a wide variety of industry standard protocols such as Modbus. So, there are no hassles trying to get our system talking to your existing communications infrastructure. And where per wellhead monitoring costs have been prohibitively high, achieve low cost levels previously unheard of. Information available from a UtiliNet wireless network means the difference between success and failure in the competitive oil and gas market. 0 "Metricom radios route data through multiple transmission paths allowing remote wells, located in hard -to -reach areas, to reliably communicate with the entire network" Designing a UtiliNet mesh network that best suits your specific needs may include a combination of Series II Network, WanGate or Integrated WanGate radios. Listed below are highlights for each radio. For more detailed information on how to choose specific radios for your application, please refer to the UtiliNet Catalog and Reference Guide. Or give us a call and one of our Field Service Engineers will be happy to review your specific needs. SERIES II INTEGRATED WANGATE RADIO The Metricom Series II Integrated WanGate is designed for internal mounting (e.g., inside a remote terminal unit) and utilizes RS -232 (9 pin) serial communi- cations to establish data links with end - devices. The Integrated WanGate is commonly interfaced with such devices as Remote Terminal Units (RI'Us), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and other intelligent devices. The Integrated WanGate supports two distinct modes of RS -232 operations, LAN Packet Protocol (LPP) and Transparent Mode. With LPP the radio is capable of communicating to end - devices which have implemented Metricom's protocol. Using Transparent Mode the WanGate is capable of transport- ing a number of industry standard protocols such as DFl and Modbus. The Series II Integrated WanGate radio is also approved for class I, division II — hazardous locations — operations. RADIO DESCRIPTIONS SERIES II WANGATE RADIO The Metricom Series II WanGate® is designed for external mounting and utilizes RS -232 serial communications to establish data links with end - devices. The WanGate is commonly interfaced with such devices as Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and other intelligent devices. The Series II WanGate supports the same RS -232 opera- tional modes as the Integrated WanGate radio. The radio is available in standard and battery- backed ver- sions (the battery option may be added to a standard WanGate radio at a later point). The battery back -up provides 25 hours of operational power. SERIES II NETWORK RADIO Metricom Series II Nenvork Radios are the only radios in the Series II product line that have the capability to communicate to end - devices over the power line. Using Metricom's RPLC® (Reliable Power Line Carrier) technology, this radio is capable of communi- cating with up to 200 devices on the secondary side of a distribution transformer. Electricity meters are by far the most common devices which are communicated to with the Network radio. However, other RPLC devices like the In -Home Energy Monitor, from CIC Systems, can be accessed as well. The Network radio is the lowest priced radio in the family of Series II radios, therefore, in some installations it may be advantageous to use this radio solely as a WAN repeater. 0 RECEIVER Frequency Range Channels Channel Spacing Dynamic Range (1x10(2)packet error rate) IF Selectivity 45 MHz IF Rejection 902.0 -928.0 MHz 240, 25kHzWde 100kHz -105 to -20 dBm ( @10 BER) 6 dBm down @ 30 kHz < 90 dBm TRANSMITTER Integrated WanGate (I2VDC Operation) Input Current Input Current (RP Transmit Max) Network Radio (120 VAC) Input Current (Receive Average) Input Current (RF Transmit Max) WanGate Radio (120 VAC) Input Current (Receive Average) Input Current (RF Transmit Max) RF Output min (at antenna connection) RF Output Typical Out Of Band Spurious Radiation Deviation Modulation Bandwidth + 17dBm (50 m\9 +20 dBm (100 mW) < -55dBc (1 kHz Bandwidth) x 5.5 kHzs10% Meets FCC Par 15 247 PROCESSING CPU Clock Speed Memory ROM DRAM EPROM FLASH RAM' Programming Language NEC V25 8 MHz 256K Bytes 128K Bytes 512 Bytes 512K Bytes Device Control Word (DCW) ENVIRONMENTAL Operating Temperature Range - to +60 Degrees Celcius Storage Temperature Range -40 to +85 Degrees Celcius Operating Vibration FCC Part 68D, Paragraph 302 modified Operating Shock 20g, 1 lmSec., half sine per Mil Std. 802 Humidity Md Std. 202F, method 106 modified, 10 days POWER REQUIREMENTS Integrated WanGate (I2VDC Operation) Input Current Input Current (RP Transmit Max) Network Radio (120 VAC) Input Current (Receive Average) Input Current (RF Transmit Max) WanGate Radio (120 VAC) Input Current (Receive Average) Input Current (RF Transmit Max) 100mA 260mA 34mA 68mA 50mA 83mA Automatic Network Mapping On power -up, radios build an internal "nodes" table of all neighboring radios. Through tins process, a mesh multi- point-to-multi-point communications network is dynamically created. Packet Routing Message packets are automatically routed from radio to radio based on geographic addresses with automatic "hopping" minimization This eliminates the need for static routing tables. With geographic addresses in each radio's node table, a message rs forwarded as efficiently as passible to its ultimate destination. Network Performance Statistic Each radio maintains a history of message traffic. This mcludes total number of packets handled; number of packets forwarded to each neighbor; number of remes required to move a message to the next radio; number of hops needed to deliver a message; time required to deliver a message; and the percentage of successful deliveries. Data Integrity Error- chedung acknowledgment algorithms assure non - compromised data transmission. Packet Handling Parameters Each radio is an intelligent network agent, responsible for reliably storing and forwarding individual packets across the network. The agent examines each of the packets it is handling and dynamically prioritizes available resources accordingly. Packets have unique properties hke time-to-live, priority, mood, luck and message identification which the agent uses when prioritizing its individual resources.

By storing (in node tables) information about where neighbor -radios will be in the hopping pattern at a given time, the radios know what frequencies to use. Within every microcell of the mesh network, it is possible for 240 channels to be in simultaneous use, providing enormous message-flow capacity. Automatic Collision And Contention Management Should a message ever be blocked by interference on a given frequency, the radio automatically hops to a different frequency and tries again. Onboard Diagnostics Internal diagnostics monitor frequency drift, temperature, power source voltage, and the strength of RF signals received from neighboring radios. Transparent Communication Interface Outside devices interface with a Serves II radio through an asynchronous ASCII "transparent port." Transparent operation is accomplished through data encapsulation and automatic packet assembly and disassembly by each end - device radio. Customized Capabilities Users can write specific application programs for any packet radio using Metricom's own programming language — Device Control Word (DCW).

control system network in your plant, Modicon controllers can help you • Streamline maintenance and simplify preventive mainten- ance strategies • Meet federal, state and local clean water standards and prove it with complete record - keeping • Meet stricter discharge regu- lations and avoid subsequent fines by letting the controller do the work • Provide accurate trending for in -house use as well as govern- ment agency reporting using the system's histonzing capability • Cut overall plant costs because of the ability to wnte programs and draw graphics in -house by your technicians and ability to have logic altered by electricians • Establish a low-cost, upwardly compatible platform with superior operator interface for future expansion • Provide built -in communications for performance as a Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) • Connect several controllers throughout your plant on the de facto industry standard, Modbus and Modbus Plus networks • Reduce operator training through ease of programma- bility both at the office site and in the field • Provide a hot standby capability to increase system availability and plant efficiency • Provide a single source supplier who is the most experienced in the industry In addition to these tangible benefits, Modicon PLCs can provide you with detailed process performance accountability and justification, reduction of operator "busy work;' and peace of mind The systems are easy to use con- figure and upgrade as your plant requirements expand. Many users have replaced large panels of electro- mechanical relays with space - saving Modicon controllers Operators can program controllers independently and in the held Since the creation of the original Modicon PLC, Modicon has pro- vided solutions for customers large and small in a wide range of industries Our experience in demanding plant environments in the automotive, pulp and paper, food and beverage and petro- chemical industries — to name a few — provides us with a deep and broad knowledge base to offer the water and wastewater management industries Modicon has nearly 25 years of experience serving the water /wastewater and related industries with over 1,000 sys- tems installed. Modicon PLCs are working in plants worldwide to produce clear water for reuse, such as irrigation and cooling towers; dried, digested sludge for soil conditioning or fertilizer to improve crops and lawns; and methane gas, the product of digestion for heating and engine fuel. In addition to municipal plants, the controllers are found in other facilities which need to treat wastewater as a byproduct of their overall manufacturing process, such as pharmaceutical manufac- turers, food processing plants, and pulp and paper mills Modicon programmable con- trollers are used as either stand- alone controls in the field or as part of a larger, integrated control system, communicating to all of the major process control and computer systems throughout the plant. Modicon can provide proven, reliable solutions for water and waste- water treatment operations large or small, for plants with capacities as little as 1 mgd (million gallons per day) to more than 450 mgd For more information on how Modicon can help develop a solution for your water and wastewater management appli- cation, contact your local sales representative (see back cover) Application Experience Modicon's 984 Family of pro- grammable controllers provides operators and supervisors in the water, wastewater and related Industries with cost - effective, easy -to- program, automated process control. Modicon con- trollers are used in all of the major functions of the water treatment, management and distribution process Popular applications include. • Remote lift or pumping stations • Automatic bar screen cleaning • Tank control • Primary effluent pumping control • Sludge thickening and distribution • Clarification • Dewatering • Chlorine feed control • Flotation thickener operation control • Anaerobic digestion • Air scrubbers • Co- generation monitoring and control • Centrifuge control • Quality monitoring for chemical addition Modicon 984 Family Overview Modicon controllers can accept Input from a variety of process equipment Instruments and, in turn, communicate the infor- mation back to a computer mon- itoring system. Controllers can be located either in a central treatment plant or out at remote sites and can communicate with other Modicon controllers over Modicon's Modbus or Modbus Plus networks.The controllers also provide extensive operator control, including equipment status and alarm, report genera- tion for the EPA, operator activity logs, and preventive mainte- nance, such as motor runtime reports. Modicon's 984 Family of pro- grammable controllers ranges from the 984 -Al20 Compact micro controller to the newly - introduced high -end 984 -785L The 984 -Al20 offers the power and performance of the larger 984 PLCs in a micro -sized package. All processors share common instruction sets, pro- grammers and programming software, and have full upward and backward compatibility with each other The larger 984 Family PLCs are available in two basic physical configurations chassis -mount and slot- mount. Since they are housed in a com- pact space, Modicon's family of 984 controllers can be easily located in the field where the situation demands high complex functions at high speed and low power consumption. The PLCs feature reliability and ease of use, as well as the flexibility to change the control logic for equipment control The family also is designed for harsh envi- ronments, and can withstand high tolerances of shock, humid- ity, vibration and temperature.

Modicon program- mable controllers and other control system components — such as intelligent termi- nals and computers — can communicate over common carrier or dedicated tele- phone lines. • Modicon's Modsoft develop- ment software is designed to speed development and troubleshooting Modsoft sup- ports both online and offline programming, as well as full documentation. • A wireless modem can be used for local area network- ing of computers and their peripherals using radio waves by creating a radio area network. • For host -level network sup- port, Modicon offers DOS -, OS /2 -, Windows -, VMS- and UNIX -based software for real - time monitoring and alarming. Saving Money Modicon 984 Controller and Short Haul Radios The Modicon 984 -Al20 Compact controller can be used with a short haul radio to remotely control pump /lift stations Wa radio teleme- try Scheduling in the sewage from different lift stations, for example, allows users to postpone their invest- ment into new wastewater treat- ment plants — saving millions of dollars And using radio communi- cations in place of leased phone lines provides the added benefits of reliability, less susceptibility to interference, and lower cost Plants which have remote lift stations to transfer the influent require some form of control to tie the system into (heir SCADA or control system so that they can monitor the k/t stations. The 984 -Al20 Compact easily handles this situation because of its strong communications capa- bilities, small footprint, cost -effec- tiveness, and ability to handle I/O Ma wastewater treatment plant in northern California, for example, these advanced micro controllers handle approximately 13 pump stations, each with a dozen I/O points The systems communicate over radio back into the central control station, where operators can access a log of the activity on their computer screen The plant does not have to send the operator out to the remote unit, instead, operators can program directly from the SCADA system. In the event the operator needs to make a program change at the site, however, he or she does not have to bong along a computer The operator simply takes an EEPROM card, inserts it and downloads the program. This capability reduces if not eliminates the need for exten- sive and time- consuming operator training as well as the need to bring a programming computer out to the remote controller Applications: Modicon Solutions at Work Irvine Ranch Water District: Michelson Water Reclamation Plant Located near San Diego Creek in Irvine, California, the Michel- son Water Reclamation Plant has a treatment capacity 0115 mgd and serves a population over 109000 The plant first purchased Modicon PLCs in the early 1980s, starting with a Modicon 484 PLC that provides control of primary sludge withdrawal and pumping. At the same time, Modicon Micro 84 controllers were installed to control the flow equalization basins and sludge dewatenng Shortly thereafter, an 884 PLC was installed to handle the controls for return activated sludge and waste activated sludge pumping The PLCs were favored because of their ability to do logic control and the versatility of being programmed rather than the fixed program RTU -based systems In 1988, the District installed six Modicon 884 PLC systems in its Michelson plant to control a cost saving plant shut down during summer peak -power demand periods. All PLCs were installed by District personnel Today, the entire Irvine Ranch Water District is controlling its domestic water distribution facil- ities, its reclaimed water distrib- ution systems, and its sewage collection systems utilizing 49 984 PLCs connected via micro- wave radio. In 1990, the District replaced 35 field- installed RTUs with the Modicon PLCs. Modicon was chosen for several reasons the Modicon model line had already demonstrated its hardi- ness in the tough environment of the Michelson plant, District technicians found the system easy to use, the PLC could be programmed as a control device (the RTUs could not), and the system could also serve as the communication device between the field station and central control. The District uses dedicated leased lines where radio wave propagation is inhibited due to hills or other obstructions The District also has a hard wire net- work that connects all of its wells through one radio system and a fiber optic network connected The Michelson Water Reclamation Plant has a treatment capacity of 15 million gallons per day (mgd) and serves a population of over 100,000 people. through its coastal water works that communicates via dedicated leased line and future radio All of the field facilities utilize various models of Modicon 984 PLCs and communicate with a Digital Equipment Corporation VAX 6200 computer system. This system allows fully distributed control to all facilities and operator - initiated remote control override. The District is currently in the plan- ning stages of installing addi- tional 984 Family PLCs in the Michelson Water Reclamation Plant. The system's VAX software, which is fully segmentable, will allow for the operations of two completely different systems on one mainframe host. The District is also planning to use a fiber optic network link for communi- cations and to provide full con- trols as in the field system, as well as standardize on parts for ease of maintenance Pumping Station at the Michelson Water Reclamation Plant to Irvine, California s i • Modicon 984 PLCs are used to control domestic water distribu- tion, reclaimed water distribution and sewage collection at the Michelson plant Applications: Modicon Solutions at Work Chandler Wastewater ' - -- Reclamation Facility Modicon C 984 -480 controller monitors and controls such func- tions as wet well Levels, pump outputs and alarms. Mod,con PLCs are used through- out the entire Chandler /Ocotillo plant, which has an average daily capacity of 5 mtlhon gallons The Chandler /Ocotillo facility has the distinction of being one of the first privately owned and operated wastewater treatment plants in the United States With an average daily capacity of 5 million gallons, the facility serves approximately 40,000 people in the Chandler, Arizona area. The plant is owned and operated by the Ralph M. Parsons Corp. The plant's instrumentation ser- vices are provided by Interac- tive Controls Inc , of Tucson They recently installed a Modicon 984.480 to replace another DCS vendor's six- year -old control system because it had proved difficult to program, maintain or expand. Parsons Corp. wanted to find a system that would include off - the -shelf components and non - custom software so that expanding and maintain- ing would be simplified. Future plans may include expanding the PLCs to include additional functions, such as power morntor- ing and process blower control The 984 -480 Is used for control throughout the entire plant in conjunction with remote I/O (Input/Output) stations Specific functions controlled include wet well levels, chlorine feed, pump outputs and alarms The previ- ously existing data highway is still used for remote I/O A 25 MHz 386 personal computer is used on the front end. s t a A technician for the Florida Cities Water Company programs a Modicon PLC at a remote well site Florida Cities Water Company Florida Cities Water Company is an investor owned utility com- pany with water and waste- water plants that serve counties throughout Florida The utility first installed Modicon PLCs for its Lee and Collier County water and wastewater treatment plants in the early '80s with the help of local water man- agement experts, Curry Controls At the Green Meadows water plant, the configuration includes one 584, four 984 -Al20 Corn - pacts, six Micro 984s and eight 984 -381s The Waterway Estates water plant uses a Micro 84 The wastewater plant at Fiesta Village uses a Modicon 584, while the Waterway Estates wastewater treatment plant uses a 984 -380 The PLCs are used to control all areas of the plants, from pumping and booster stations to incoming wells The systems are tied on Modbus into a SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system via teleme- try radios and cabling The utility has found the reliability of the Modicon PLCs "outstand- ing " As one engineer described it, "We only use Modicon PLCs in our plants because they do what they are supposed to do. It's unusual to be able to walk away from any electrical equip- ment and worry little about main- tenance except for occasional calibration." A variety of Modicon controllers are used at Florida Cities' Green Meadows water plant Orange County Sanitation District The Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) is a municipally owned and operated utility with two water treatment and dis- posal plants handling an aver- age of 240 mgd The district manages northwestern Orange County, Calif and serves more than two million people OCSD originally purchased Modicon 884 programmable controllers utilizing Modbus in the early 80s Since then, they have continued to expand their installation Today, approxi- mately 40 984, 884 and 484 Modicon PLCs are used in all of the major process areas of the plant, including the head - works pumping station, sludge pumping, recycle water supply, potable water supply, dewater- ing facility, digesters and air scrubbers. In the future, the 40 field pump stations handling the effluent will also be PLC - based. The system software is main- tained by OCSD's in -house staff of instrumentation technicians Fiber optics are used to com- municate with many of the remote sites, and will soon help transmit information from the PLCs at the Plant II facility to a DEC -based computer platform and to the control center com- puter systems. As part of the plant's "2020 Vision Plan" OCSD is geared up to provide capacity for treatment demands well into the 21st century, an estimated 400 mgd The Orange County Sanitation District utilizes over 40 Modicon PLCs in all major areas of the plant, including the headworks pumping station An Orange County Sanitation District technician checks a rack of Modicon 800 - Series t/O modules.

It also serves as a low power disconnect function. It contains three 600V, two input and one output, terminal blocks. 1.1 BOARD DESCRIPTION The input power signals are tied to terminal block P3. Input to the battery service card is a DC voltage, set equal to the nominal battery float voltage plus a diode drop. The actual float voltage can be measured by Test Point TP2, located near the fuse. There is also another Test Point designated as "GND" for test purposes. The battery is connected to terminal block P1. The "+" battery must connect to the " +" terminal of Pl. The output power signals, designated as "FIELD" on the board, are at terminal block P2. The output is protected by a varistor VR1 and a 5A, 3AG fuse. In normal operation, DC power is supplied through a diode CR2 to the load. A trickle- charge circuit onboard charges the battery. In the event the main power fails, the battery backup is engaged instantly from a diode "OR" circuit. When the battery reaches a low level, the battery will be disconnected by a hysteresis circuit which exists on the board. It will be reconnected when the battery has recharged. There are two variances for the battery service board: (a) TER -085.0 which is for +13.7 VDC nominal float voltage (b) TER -085.1 which is for +27.4 VDC nominal float voltage. TER -085.0 units have TP2 label 27.4 marked out, and a "0" or "13.7" written above it.

Bulletin E35.2 15M 8/92 Product Specifications 870EC TRANSMITTER (WITH OPTIONAL INDICATOR) 870EC ELECTRODELESS CONDUCTIVITY TRANSMITTERS These 2 -wire transmitters, in conjunction with 871 EC Electrodeless Conductivity Sensors, provide precision measurenrant of electrical conductivity. The transmitter provides a 4 to 20 mA dc signal that is directly proportional to solution conductivity (µS /cm or mS /cm). A nonlinear scale is used for output signal indication of chemical concentration (percent concentration). SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE The 870EC Transmitter provides assured accuracy of 30.5 % of span, repeatability of better than *0.1% of span, and excellent longterm stability resulting in un- equalled overall performance. MULTIPLE PROTECTION FROM ENVIRONMENTS There are only two accesses into the epoxy- coated alumi- num housing. Each is sealed to exclude moisture and cor- rosive atmospheres. The housing has two separate com- PSS 6 A partments: one for the electronics, the other for field con- nections. This eliminates the need to open the electronic compartment during installation. The electronic circuits are encapsulated In a replaceable module which provides protection against the effects of moisture. RADIO•FREOUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI) PROTECTION The 870EC Transmitter output is virtually unaffected by radio - frequency signals or stray electrical noise.

Product Specifications 871PH pH, ORP, and Fluoride Sensors and Accessories PSS 6 -1C2 A 871PH multi- purpose precision electrochemical sensors, used In conjunction with 871PH accessories, are suitable for pH, ORP, and Fluoride measurement applications. These sensors are used with 873 Electrochemical Analyzers and 870PH Transmitters. Measurement of pH by the Foxboro 871 PH Sensors is accomplished by immersing a glass or metal electrode, witn a reference electrode, into a process solution. The glass or metal electrode produces an electrical potential proportional to the hydrogen Ion activity. The reference electrode completes the circuft and provides a stable reference for the glass or metal electrode. These two electrodes constitute an electrolytic cell having a millivolt output that is proportional to the pH of the solution. ORP is related to the logarithm of the ratio of oxidation activity to reduction activity, Just as pH is related to the logarithm of the hydrogen ion activity. A solution that contains an excess of oxidizing agent has a positive ORP while one containing an excess of reducing agent has a negative ORP. Typical ORP applications include treatment of chromate and cyanide wastes produced by plating, chemical, and metal treatment plants. ORP monitoring enables industry to determine reaction end points and to meet today's stringent environmental requirements. Fluoride measurement is accomplished by means of an ion - selective electrode, or ISE. A pH electrode is an example of an ISE which is sensitive to hydrogen Ion activity. Similarly, the fluoride electrode utilizes a lanthanum fluoride crystal which is sensitive to fluoride ion activity. When immersed In a solution containing free fluoride ions, the electrode develops a millivolt potential proportional to the ion activity. Typical fluoride applications include control and monitoring of fluoridation of drinking water supplies. A SIEBE COMPANY PSS 6-1C2 A Page 2 SINGLE MULTI - PURPOSE ASSEMBLY This multi - purpose sensor assembly is suitable for virtually all process pH, ORP, and fluoride measurement applications. Its flexibility is further enhanced when used with a variety of mounting accessories. The sensor accepts a variety of glass pH, metallic pH, and ORP electrodes, as well as a new ion - selective electrode for fluoride measurement. The unit Is not affected by normally encountered chemical solutions and Is capable of withstanding continuous operation in a wide range of process pressures and temperatures. CHOICE OF SENSOR BODY The sensor assembly is available in either a Ryton or CPVC body. The Ryton body can be used in almost any normally encountered chemical solution, and Is the preferred material where organic chemicals are present. The CPVC body is used in applications Involving hypochlorites or peroxides (e.g., bleach). CHOICE OF SENSING ELECTRODES Glass pH electrodes offer the best performance in most solutions and Inherently provide the most accurate measurement. The flat ruggedized electrode or the small bulb results In a durable electrode suitable for industrial service. The flat, ruggedized glass electrode with a Ryton body Is recommended for most pH measurements because of its very durable, abrasion- resistant construction. This electrode is particularly resistant to wear, stress, and abuse caused by physical operating conditions. Its optimum accuracy Is in the range of 2 to 12 pH, although It can be used with Analyzers and Transmitters that are ranged from 0 to14pH. The spherical glass, low sodium error electrode with a Ryton body is recommended for applications where the pH Is routinely In the range of 10 to 14 pH. It features a glass formulation with minimal sodium Ion error. It should also be selected for applications In low conductivity water (down to 10µS /cm). Metallic (antimony) pH electrodes are available for abrasive solutions or for solutions containing hydrofluoric acid or other chemicals which attack glass. Antimony electrodes should not be used in acid copper solutions nor in oxidizing or reducing solutions such as chromates, chlorine, hypochiorites, or sulfides. Platinum or gold ORP electrodes are also available. (Gold is primarily used in cyanide reduction systems.) The newest addition to the 871 PH's electrode offering is a ion- selective electrode for the measurement of ppm fluoride. The fluoride electrode consists of a lanthanum fluoride crystal In an epoxy body, and Is compatible with the 873DPX Analyzer. FIELD INTERCHANGEABLE ELECTRODES Interchangeable plug -in sensing electrodes are available to suit most applications. All electrodes are compatible with the same basic sensor body. If the measurement conditions or application needs change, it is simple to change from one measurement electrode to another in the field. FIELD REPLACEABLE REFERENCE JUNCTION The reference electrode is a nonflowing type. A silver /silver chloride half cell Immersed in saturated potassium chloride is used because of its highly stable output voltage. The filling solution and the ceramic Junction may be readily replaced in the field. See Model Code on Page 4 for choice of body material. INTEGRAL PREAMPLIFIER An Integral preamplifier converts the high impedance pH signal to a low impedance signal, which is less prone to interference. INTEGRAL AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION Automatic temperature compensation (ATC), utilizing a platinum resistance temperature detector (RTD), is a built -In feature in the 871PH Sensor. MOUNTING VERSATILITY The basic sensor assembly may be mounted: • In -line via Ball Valve Assembly • In a sample line via Twist -Lock Flow Chambers • In -line via Twist -Lock Bushings or Tees • In -situ via Electrode Protection Sleeve See Physical Specifications section for additional information.

In addition, PCPs Specialized Services departments offer complete turnkey solutions in the design and integration of public safety and utility communication systems, mobile data and automatic vehicle locating systems, microwave systems, and SCADA and TELEMETRY systems. This brochure is an introduction into PCls SCADA and TELEMETRY department. SCADA and TELEMETRY Today's economics and regulations have created a need for utilities and businesses to be more in control of their assets than ever before and the trend is growing. These needs have created the evolution into Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems ISCADA). When this includes bringing the data from remote sites with wireless data transmission, the use of Telemetry is the answer. PCI Communications has been watching this trend and is now prepared to offer total turnkey solutions in the design and integration of your SCADA and telemetry projects. Our philosophy was best expressed by Bob Rouleau, President of the Dataradio Corp., when he made this statement: it has been my observation that data expertise in relation to telemetry or data systems is pretty common these days. On the other hand, experienced radio people, like those with PCI Communications, who understand RF and propagation are becoming a ram bleed, but they are a very critical element in the overall performance equation. l would recommend giving serious consideration to a company having this RF expertise when choosing a Systems Integrator for any telemetry or data system. All the data in the world is useless if you can't move it efficiently from one place to another." —Bob Rouleau, Dataradm Corp , December 1994 Telemetry Package "We're still with you after the system is installed." Data Radio PLC or RTU PCI T E R M N A L CHARGER Battery or Power Supply In many cases, the number one problem in a telemetry design is the smooth interfacing and operation between the SCADA hardware and the data radio package. Even after this is done, there still exists the problem of making sure the wireless RF data stream gets where you want it to go. PCI has a solution to consider: One company with the technical capabilities, the RF resources and the local service centers to support each. 1.

To quote those questions, Round Rock is requesting these six numbered items to be explained in more detail: I r We will show the City of Round Rock's requests or the RFP wording in italics and the PCI responses in regular type. 1. Need a system configuration drawing of the proposed SCADA package. Provide general RTU and Base Station configuration arrangement. 1. PCI Reply: Please find the requested system configuration drawings included in this packet. li 2. Please provide a line by line response for section 11.11.1 to 11.11.23 either in a tabular format or a written format. 11.11 Sites to be monitored and controlled. (We understand this request to mean a complete and detailed explanation as to the means by which we will monitor or control each itemized item: Example: 11.11.1.1 Loss of AC and /or DC power: How will we monitor and control this function ?). How is the task accomplished? 11.11.1 Pump stations, required functions: 11.11.1.1 Loss of AC and/or DC power PCI Reply: By a PCI supplied Idec 120 Volt Relay, which can be configured in the normally closed or open position incorporated into the NEMA4x enclosure, and wired to the Modicon PLC which is then monitored by the Master Station software. 11.11.1.2 On and off status of pumps PCI Reply: By installing Nellsen- Kuijian current sensors on the input power of each pump which are connected to the new NEMA current block and then to the Modicon PLC.. We feel this is the most reliable method of determining pump status available. 11.11.1.3 Open and close status of control valves II II PCI Reply: An existing limit switch, which is already on the control valves in place at each of the existing locations, will be brought into the PCI installed NEMA enclosure and wired to a digital input terminal block, which is connected to the Modicon PLC. 11.11.1.4 Monitor water level of tank. PCI Reply: PCI will use the 4 -20ma signal from the existing level indicator now in place at each remote location. This signal will be connected in the NEMA to the terminal block., connected to the PLC and monitored by the Master Station software. 'Also, as we understand it, there is a pressure transducer representing level in the tank at the High Service location which will need to be replaced.. Our proposal includes this replacement. li ff PCI Reply: We will use the 4 -20ma signal derived from the existing installed flow meters which is now used to represent flow rate. It will be wired to the terminal block in the NEMA enclosure and connected to an analog input signal. 11.11.1.6 Monitor of chlorine and ammonia equipment as described herein PCI Reply: We will utilize the 4 -20ma signal which comes from existing chlorine and ammonia analyzers. We will wire this into the NEMA and onto the terminal strip connected to the PLC. This will be done at all necessary locations by PCI and included in our proposal cost. 11.11.1.7 High and loin water level alarms PCI Reply: There is in place now an existing level indicator at all locations. The inputs from the transducers will be connected to the terminal block in the NEMA enclosure which is connected to the PLC. The high and low level alarms are then user configurable in the Modicon PLC and the Master Station software. Notation: Usually these alarms are activated by set points dictated by the level of the tank . 11.11.1.5 Monitor flow where required 11.11.1.8 On and off control of pumps PCI Reply: The PCI proposal includes the installation of new Idec120 volt relays wired to the control panel of each pump. The relays will be connected to the Modicon PLC digital outputs within each new NEMA enclosure. The control of these pumps can then be user configurable in the II 2 3 PLC and the Master station software. Notation: Usually, this is configured in an automatic mode with a manual override. 11.11.2 Pump stations, optional functions: 11.11.2.1 Pressure levels discharge side of pumps PCI Reply: We will install a Foxboro pressure transducer with a 4 -20ma output representing pressure at each location if this option is selected. It will then be brought into the NEMA enclosure and connected to the terminal block which is in turn connected to the PLC. 11.11.2.2 Flow measuring unit at common discharge side of pumps II PCI Reply: PCI will install a GH Flow Automation Insertion Turbine Meter with a 4- 20ma transmitter at each location. The 4 -20ma signal input will be wired to the terminal block in the NEMA enclosure which is connected to the PLC. The 4 -20ma signal will represent flow rate and total and is monitored by the local PLC and the Master Station software. 11.11.2.3 Electrical energy measuring unit at local power source PCI Reply: After carefully considering the present water use and rapid growth of the Round Rock user base, which will require constant demands for maximum water use, we feel Round Rock is not a candidate for this type of option. This option, as we understand it to be, operates under the premise that you control the level of the water tanks to a minimum required level and operate at maximum only when the demands are high. We feel Round Rock will require the highest level possible at all times. We feel the expense for this option could be better utilized in some other area. 11.11.3 Standpipes, requiredfro:ctious: 11.11.3.1 Loss of AC and /or DC power PCI Reply: By a Idec 120 volt relay, which can be in the normally closed or open position incorporated into the NEMA4x enclosure and wired to the Modicon PLC and then monitored by the Master Station software. 11.11.3.2 Monitor water level of tank PCI Reply: PCI will use the 4 -20ma signal from the existing level indicator now in place at each remote location. The signal will be brought into the NEMA, connected to the terminal block, which is in turn connected to the PLC, and monitored by the software at the Master Station. Notation: As we understand it, the location at Fern Bluff is a new installation location. PCI has included a new Foxboro Pressure Transducer in its proposal. The PCI proposal includes the installation and wiring to the NEMA terminal board and the configuration to the Master Station software package. 11.11.3.3 High and low water level alarms PCI Reply: There is in place now an existing level indicator at all locations but Fern Bluff.

PCI Reply: PCI proposes to offer intensive training in the following areas for this project: FACTORY TRAINING 1.) Wonderware Software: Should PCI be selected, we have arranged for up to 3 employees to receive a 3 day school at the offices of Standard Automation (the Wonderware distributor for this area). Their offices are located in Houston, Texas. The classes are normally $1,500.00 per person. Total value: $4,500.00 2.) Modicon PLC Dealers Electric, located in Austin, is the area distributor for the Square D, Modicon, line of PLC's. If selected, we have arranged for 3 of your selected employees to receive 16 hours of formal factory type training, complete with manuals to keep, either at their office in Austin, or at your location. The normal cost per person was arrived at $500.00 per person of value. Total value: $1,500.00 PCI SPECIAL I D ERVI RO T AININ 22 These on site classes will be taught by Randy Walker, PCI Specialized Services Systems Engineer. You may review Mr. Walker's qualifications in Part III, 15.3.1, of the PCI response to the opportunity. The structured section of this training will consist of (5) five days of on site training at your location, and will cover these topics: Day One: (1) Point and click fundamentals in Wonderware (2) Operation of the system in the Automatic Mode (3) Operation of the system in the Manual Mode Day Two: (1) Alarm processing (2) Historical data (3) Daily Reports (4) Monthly Reports Day Three: (1) Changing system parameters (2) Modifying site locations Day Four: (1) Introduction to PLC's. This would cover application configuration and communication capabilities of the Modicon PLC Note: We would hope the classes at Dealer Electric proceed this. That would provide a complete intro. (2) Discuss configuration and operation of each site Day Five: (1) Modifications of the existing PLC program as it is accepted (2) Uploading and Downloading of the PLC program In addition, obviously, it is most possible that Randy Walker will be making more trips to aid in "tweaking" the system and there will be some training if, and when, that would happen, in the normal course of our follow up. Of course, Randy is always available by telephone for that type of assistance. We are also open to requests for specific training not mentioned in the above two sections. 6. What is your company's understanding of the license free radio (spectrum radio) frequency operation for the proposed SCUD operation? Is there a benefit? PCI Reply: The first thing we must state is that there is no one radio technology that works in all applications regardless of the challenge. The 900MHz spread spectrum technology has many very good applications. The chief drawback we have found is the additional cost (up to three hundred dollars per unit) for this technology. Other than that, there are few drawbacks. BACKGROUND PCI's stance on spread spectrum technology is quite favorable. This technology was considered top secret up until the end of the "cold war ", actually. Because it can still offer good communication links, even under interference conditions, the military kept a hold on it. Please take time to review the enclosed brochure from Metricom. It offers a good deal of information concerning spread spectrum technology. ROUND ROCK APPLICATION FOR SPREAD SPECTRUM 23 During the early visits to the Round Rock water system in 1995, we learned that there were several areas in Round Rock where the loss of water control could be very critical. If the SCADA system in place had a communication loss, someone would have to manually insure that there was not a loss of pump control and water delivered to these key areas. After reviewing our options, PCI Specialized Services felt the most secure means of insuring that these areas always had water delivery, would be to install a second, backup SCADA radio system just at these specific sites. Our design has these backup radios always ready to take over the monitoring and control of these critical sites the moment they detect a communication failure at the Master Site. The PCI design does not utilize a store and forward design for the central communication system. Rather, we feel guaranteed line of site communication from each remote back to the Master is very important. Therefore, since we cannot do that at these critical sites, a second frequency, using direct point to point communication was necessary. By using the spread spectrum technology, we do not have to apply for a new set of frequencies. As you know, they are very hared to get in the licensed, 900MHz band at this time. As 900MHz is the cleanest of all possible data bands available today, using the 900MHz spread spectrum is the most reliable choice we could make. In 1995, PCI Specialized Services received a very large RFP opportunity from the City of Nashville, Tennessee. It was for a City Water Control SCADA System, just as the City of Round Rock is considering. As we read the lengthy specifications, we found that the only radio they would consider was the Metricom 900MHz Spread Spectrum UtiliNet. To restate this, no other radio would be considered. Their City communications personal had spent a long time looking into what the best solution to their needs were and settled firmly on the Metricom data radio. As Nashville is too far from our Corporate based business, and PCI does not have a shop there at all, we elected not to bid on this. In a copy of the SCADALETTER, the international magazine for SCADA, in another article in 1994, we read that the City of Cleveland, Ohio, had just completed a complete City Water Control SCADA System. They, too, only used the Metricom 900MHz Spread Spectrum UtiliNet data radio. I talked to the water d several times and they were very pleased. At that time, PCI Specialized Services was actively seeking the best solutions to the wide variety of applications we felt we would soon face. 24 If we do have the opportunity to make a complete presentation to the City of Round Rock committee concerning this RFP in the next couple of weeks, we will be prepared to further discuss the reliability and efficiency of using this technology with information we will acquire from Cleveland and Nashville. As noted earlier, we are enclosing a copy of the Metricom UtiliNet brochure in this packet. After reading it, and reviewing the companies and types of organization using this technology, we canurther discuss and explore the use of this as a solution to the needs of a backup at these critical water sites. As you do have a 900MHz licensed frequency, we did not recommend the use of spread spectrum for the entire system. Nashville did not have one and this led to their search for alternative 900MHz solutions and for brand names and spread spectrum manufacturers that would be long term and reliable. SUMMARY: We hope we have clarified the questions sent to us. Please let us know the next step. We sincerely appreciate the consideration you have shown us all.

PCI SPECIALIZED SERVICES "SCADA SOLUTIONS YOU CAN BANS ON" OFFICE (915) 561 -8449 FAX (915) 563 -2728 Again, we with PCI Specialized Services would like to extend our appreciation for being further considered for this project. We received a FAX and notified your office by phone on 5/28/96, that we did receive all sections of that FAX: It included a cover page, which I have attached to our response and five pages entitled Best and Final Proposal Pricing. You will find our original pricing for the design, without any of the additional options listed below, remains as it was first bid. We are sending back to you be FEDEX, our total response. (1) A response to the request to identify again, our design and support for the section concerning Redundancy of the RTU's listed under 12.2, (2) Our additional Optional Items that we propose for your consideration as noted by this other item in 12.2 on the Request for Best and Final Proposal, ie., "Loopback diagnostics shall be available on both remote and host telemetry equipment."; (3) A option for PCI to construct a free standing 150 foot radio communication tower for the use of this SCADA project to be located at the City of Round Rock Water Plant, and (4) The additional option of adding a product to the software MMI graphics package. This product is an after market support software and program card system called. "WIN 911 / WIN 411". It allows for an automatic ring out to programmed individuals as part of the Wonderware programming. By use of the total package, the caller then can call back in and interrogate the system all of the way to the individual remote. Once the caller is "in" to the remote, the caller can, if he /she has the proper security code, send an action command to the system by using the DTMF keypad of the telephone. We would like to stress again, our concern to take the manner in which the communication system talks back to the master site, a point of very strong consideration. We feel our d path, that we have established through our path studies, which is our guarantee that we will provide direct 84'641•+ 56'598.03+ 71'400.94+ 17964°+ 7 6'213•+ 10'136•+ 10'583•+ 93868-' 6'249•+ 6'344•+ 19'709•+ 2'000•+ 309'683.97* communication to our system within the bid proposal costs, is the most viable and will be the most efficient and reliable of any other package which might rely, at this point, on repeaters or store and forward systems. We also believe our redundant communication radios, which back up the system to the critical sites listed on the first page of this Request (item 12.2), is the best design of that need. I have inserted the comments made on the response we made on May 2, 1996 to Mr. Eloy Espinosa, regarding six questions about this project. Also, since our last visit, where we were able to demonstrate our RTU design to your committee, we have received additional supportive calls from Dealers Electric, Standard Automation, and the Square D Company. All of these entities would be heavily involved in both training and future needs for factory assistance, added training, and local acquisition of add on parts at guaranteed and very competitive costs. All in all, we feel more confident that ever, that we can deliver the type of system and support that you will be proud of for many years. We hope that after you review and discuss our total offer, you do, too.

NO OTHER RTUREDUNDACYISREQUIRED. 1 .i nT1 ROUND ROCK Z.002: o03 • FAX MEMO TO: HOWARD BAKER , CITY OF ROUND ROCK PURCHASING FROM: BOB HALFORD PCI SPECIALIZED SERVICES REF: REQUEST FOR FINAL DATED 28 MAY 96 REDUNDANCY REQUEST FOR SITES LISTED June 4, 1996 Dear Howard, I believe after our telephone conversation, and in reading the large print, NO OTHER RTU REDUNDANCY IS REQUIRED, that just the sites listed on the request dated 28 May 96 need the backup, stand alone, redundant communication system we had originally recommended in our first response and confirmed again in our second response which we went over during our proposal to your committee. However, Rory has asked me to make sure we are being requested to add sites that were originally covered in the RFP in 71.11.13.5 (Bowman Putnp Station, required), and 11.11.15.7 (Lake Creek pump station, required). I am FAXLNIG to you the originally schematic drawing noting five sites in which we were required to provide stand -alone redundancy in case the communication was lost with the host, whether it was due to loss of communication because of a problem with the host or the remote itself. The second drawing I am TAXING shows the design, which we still can accomplish, but includes only those listed sites in the 28 May request. Below, please indicate if we are to handle this request in this fashion and send back a new schematic with these specific sites (which now are six (6]), or, or we to add these additional ones, which then would be a total of nine (9) sites, as the sites of High Service, Barton Hill, McNeil, and Chisolm Valley, are not listed in the original RFP. My assumption is that we are to replace the original sites that need to stand -alone and replace them with these six. We would add one (1) Metricom radio cost factor for that one (1) site change, butif we are to have a total of nine (9), you can sce where we ,trust add more. Rory wants to make sure 1 assume nothing when it is down to this point in the process. NOTE: There is one point in your 28 May request that follows our philosophy, design, and recommendation to the letter, and which makes a point of this design. When you want to make sure you do not lose critical communication and thus stand •rl: XXXiCx - ter .ssra`uo 3 5J9�+ alone monitoring and control actions between critical sites, you cannot rely on just a peer to peer communication link. if you do lose the data radio at the remote RTC site, and that is your only radio (primary radio), you lose both the capability to talk back to the Master and talk to the other critical remote site. Other designs may rely on the fact that they may lose the master and still have peer to peer talking, but what happens if they would lose the remote itself and no other radio is in the NEMA enclosure? The specific written intention of this request notes at the bottom of the page that: "The desired outcome is for these sites to operate independently should the primary radio at these specific RTU sites foil." The PCI design, by using two radios at each of these critical site insures the best possible design and recommendation should the primary radio be lost, whether it our MDS remote data radio, or whether it was another brand within another design. The ability of the Metricom 9001v1.1Iz data radio to act completely Independently, while still monitoring the primary data radio meets the criteria written into the last paragraph of this 28 May request. I do hope this meets with your approval. Please indicate below if I am on the right track, and if possible, FAX this back to me today. 1 cannot thank you enough again. • Thanks again. Sincerely yours, " s512 218 7097 CITY ROUND ROCK 0I0U3 Yes, our intention is to replace this list of remote sites requiring stand - alone redundancy. Do not include the sites of Chandler, Bowman, and North 81. No, our intention is to add the sites of High Service, Barton Hill McNeil, and Chisolm Valley to the original list and now we want a total of nine sites: Lake Creek, Tower, Chandler, Bowman, North 81, High Service, Barton Hill, McNeil, and Chisolm Valley. 19ob Halford PC1 Specialized Servicds cc; Rory Lacy PCI Specialized Services Randy Walker PCI Specialized Services File CITY OF ROUND ROCK REQUEST FOR BEST AND FINAL PROPOSAL SUPERVISORY AND CONTROL DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM DATED: MAY 28, 1996 RESPONSE TO IMPORTANT INFORMATION: 96-42 -001 SPECIFICATION AMENDMENT, PART III, PARAGRAPH 12.2 TO READ: 12.2 Remote telemetry equipment at all field locations shall be single units, Loopback diagnostics shall be available on both remote and host end telemetry equipment. In the event of communication failure with the host, the following locations shall be configured to operate as stand - alone systems: 12.2.1 High Service Building to Barton Hill Tank 12.2.2 Lake Creek Pump Station to Tower Pump Station 12.2.3 Tower Pump Station to McNeil Pump Station 12.2.4 McNeil Pump Station to Chisolm Valley Standpipe PCI RESPONSE: (1) Subject: Single RTU (PLC) units: The PCI designed system consists of a RTU enclosure housing one Modicon PLC per site. There are two areas to discuss when we talk about stand alone capabilities for this particular project for Round Rock, (A) PLC Stand Alone capability, and (B) Communication Stand Alone capability. (A) The Modicon PLC, can he programmed as a stand alone unit at each site. fn the event of a loss of the Master site. the Modicon PLC can take over the operation of that remote site according to the parameters of the stand alone programming. As it is constantly making an effort to communicate back to the Master, when communication is re- established, the Master will resume its programmed monitoring and control of the remote site affected. (B) Communication Stand Alone capability, in relation to the project in Round Rock concerns the selection of certain critical sites. This revised request list six sites: High Service, Barton Creek, Lake Creek Pump Station, Tower Pump Station, McNeil Pump Station, and Chisolm Valley Standpipe. PCI has designed a complete communication redundant package for these critical sites. Each NEMA Enclosure will have two communication radios. The first data radio, acting as the prime communication radio, will be the 900MHz MDS radio operating on the 900MHz frequencies assigned to Round Rock by the FCC. The second radio will be the Metricom 900MHz data radio. Both of these radios are monitoring the activity of the Modicon PLC at all times. In the event of a loss of communication back to the Master, whether it is lost at the Master, or whether it is due to the remote primary radio (MDS) at one of these six sites, the Metricom radio will take over operation to the site to which it is programmed, per the revised instructions on this 28 May request. When the original primary communication is reestablished, the Metricom will automatically relinquish control of the system back to the Host. Subject: Loopback diagnostics shall be available on both the remote and host telemetry equipment. There are two sections to be understood when it comes to diagnostics of the telemetry 2 equipment. These are (A) Diagnostics of the PLC itself, and (B) Diagnostics of the data radio communication device PLC DIAGNOSTICS The PCI bid quote, as it was first bid, and as it remains, without any cost adjustment, included the ability of the Modicon PLC to have within its capabilities, the ability of the Wonderware programming to be set up to allow for a very flexible set of diagnostic parameters to be checked within each individual RTU site's Modicon PLC. A representative graphic of each Modicon PLC, with its remote address, can be configured as a Wonderware screen. This area can be used to monitor and diagnose PLC conditions and any problem with the PLC that might exist. DATA RADIO DIAGNOSTICS Also, within the scope of the diagnostics design, done by Randy Walker, is his ability to write a set of diagnostics for each remote data radio also, without adding further costs to the bid as originally submitted and, now, resubmitted: Randy can program the system to diagnose many areas. Please find attached a copy of page 48 and 49, taken from the Standard Automation and Controls, Inc. MODBUS SCADA DDE Server User Manual (Revision D). PCI did not bid a diagnostics package for the proposed MDS Data Radios, in a stand alone capacity, as we do have the diagnostics capabilities that you will find on the MODBUS SCADA DDE Server User Manual. However, for informational support, there is a complete diagnostics package available for the MAS system from Microwave Data Systems for the 900MHz data radios (model 2100's). This would involve the addition, also, of a change in the selection of the Master Station radio. This would be the place, also, to add the Optional Cost of a "Hot Standby" data radio Master. During the visit we had two weeks ago, at which time Randy and I demonstrated and explained our design, a question conceming Master Station redundancy was asked. Our design recommends the installation of a MDS 1000U set up as a Master Station. In the event of a power surge which might "hit" the master radio, we recommend having a duplicate MDS 1000U ready to put in its place. The cost is many times lower than the installation of the more complex hot'standby master model, MDS Model 2130 which can have or, not have "Smart Diagnostic ". We feel the capabilities of the Modicon SCADA DDE Server would be a redundant situation. We would like to use any additional funding you might want to do on more productive areas, such as a stand alone radio tower, if you feel that would be an asset. ADDED COSTS T P;UI.D T A "ADDIT RE If (1) The original RFP listed five critical sites where communication Stand Alone capability was needed. These sites were: Lake Creek, Tower, Chandler, Bowman, and North 81. Per the 28 May revised site selection, and supported by the FAXED clarification, which I sent to Round Rock on 4 June, and received back on 5 June, the Water Department now wishes only to secure communication back up at these six sites: Lake Creek Tower, High Service, Barton Hill, McNeil, and Chisolm Valley. This will require the addition of one completed installation of a Metricom 900MHz package. That will consist of the radio, Antenna, cable, connectors, and installation labor. The added cost will be: One added backup corn system $1,700.00 PTT I AL I T FIR I ID (2) HERE ARE THE COSTS FOR THE ADDITION OF AN OPTION TO THE PCI BID FOR A MDS HOT STANDBY MASTER (THIS MASTER IN EITHER NORMAL OR HOT STANDBY MUST BE ORDERED FOR THE MASTER TO BE ABLE TO DO COMPLETE DIAGNOSTICS HOT STANDBY WITH DIAGNOSTICS 1 MDS MODEL 2310 HOT STANDBY MASTER WITH $8,500.00 "SMART DIAGNOSTICS ", WITH 1200 BAUD MODEM 38 (34 IN SERVICE AND 4 BACKUP) REMOTE DIAGNOSTIC 7.790.00 MODULES FOR THE MDS MODEL 2310 REMOTE 900MHz UNITS THAT WILL BE INSTALLED WITH "SMART DIAGNOSTICS" $16,290.00 3 (3) OPTIONAL COSTS FOR A 150 FOOT FREE STANDING TOWER AT THE MASTER SITE LOCATION (WATER PLANT) There was a question asked by Steve Miller concerning guy wires and their extension into the future parking area. We can address this question from two different viewpoints. If we raise the present antenna as we have already bid to 150 feet, our plan included using elevated guy poles. The design engineering would call for the use of eight foot poles located 120 feet from the base of the present antenna. You may measure the length from the base of the tower, as it now stands, to determine to find how far from the base it now is guyed to determine how much further we will be out into those areas. At eight feet, the guy wires can be driven under by most vehicles. If you elect to install a new self supporting 150 foot tower, there will not any guy wires at all. Therefore, the first viewpoint, elevated poles, is paid for as is. The second viewpoint to consider would be a new 150 foot self supporting tower. The optional additional cost to the project would be an addition of: 150 Self Supporting Tower $14,500.00 (4) OPTION FOR ADDITION TO THE GRAPHICS PACKAGE WITH WIN 911 AND WIN 411 SOFTWAREAND CARD INTERFACE. After listening to the input from our demonstration and presentation two weeks ago, at which time we brought up this option, we felt we tl?d need to include the use of WIN 911 and WIN 411 as another option to consider. As noted this package allows for a select group of assigned City of Round Rock Water Utilities staff members to be auto called if an alarm goes off at any remote site or the Master. The full package then allows for the operator to be able to call back into the system, interrogate the site calling in and more fully understand the problem. The operator, if he / she has the security code, use the DTMF key pad to take some action. For example, start a pump, etc. During the meeting, the Standard Automation representative mentioned a cost of around $1,000.00. This is a new product to Standard Automation to use with Wonderware. That cost was for only one 4 module that would be needed.. The total cost for this project using the complete WIN 911 and WIN 411 package with the necessary interface card would be: WIN 911 and WIN 411 Bundled Package: Interfaces voice, telephone pager drivers, ALPHANUMERIC PAGER PACKAGE: Supports CRT, Printer, ASCII Messages, Data Monitoring Data Change Capability. Total Software Package 51,995.00 Add 911 Voice -U Voice Dialer Card 595.00 Add PCI programming, configuration, training 2.200. 00 TOTAL OPTION SOFTWARE COST $4,790.00 SUMMARY I believe both our proposal visit and the opportunity to respond to this Request for Best and Final have been very valuable. At the proposal visit we had the opportunity to consider concems members of your committee had about (a) the efficient redundant support for critical remote sites, (b) the type of basic communication design philosophy to be considered, and (c) possible problems with guy wires as they might effect future parking when there are changes at the Water Plant. The City of Round Rock needs to have all of the information it can to base its final decision on. Along the way, and through these questions, we have been able to further define how we would refine the design we would do based on the capabilities of the hardware and software we have recommended. In section one of the response I discussed the capabilities of the Modicon PLC to help diagnose communication problems. Again, that capability is attached in this response, entitled at the left top of the page "5.5 Communication Statistics ". Please review these capabilities. The information will be programmed to be displayed on the Wonderware screen selected by Randy Walker. This capability is built in, paid for, and very adequate. Therefore, we doh( recommend selecting the MDS diagnostic hardware as this will do fine. We highly recommend our original design on the selection of standby Master site data radio backup. We recommend having the spare MDS 1000U configured as a Master sitting on the shelf close to the Master in place. If that radio is lost due to any malfunction, especially a high electrical surge, the replacement with the spare that cannot be effected by the surge, is an easy matter. If the first radio is lost, your SCADA staff, or our PCI technical staff can replace the spare and you are back in business. Our staff will repair, or send in for repair, the first Master MDS 1000U. PLC Diagnostics Summary Randy can work with your SCADA staff to design a diagnostics screen that will monitor each remote PLC. He showed a screen on the graphic display of the PLC while we were there two weeks ago. This is paid for, will work, and would very useful. Diagnostics Summary We feel the capabilities of the two areas of diagnosis for the PLC and the communications system will be cost effective, as they are already paid for, be user friendly, and are capable of any expansion without any need for additional cost as you do build your system in the next years. The does satisfy the request for the availability of Loopback Diagnostics , if anyone with the City understand Loopback as a complete diagnostic system for all of the communication or PLC devices. L 5 Therefore, we do not recommend the additional expense of a MDS "Hot Standby" Master Package, with an indicated cost of $16,290.00 Final Summary of the Section Indicated as 12.2. The 900MHz Metricom radios which will monitor, at all times, the normal communication design of the MDS MAS system, yet work independent to insure a positive peer to peer link between the listed sites, is the best solution to your request, in our opinion. Again, please review the Metricom section I have copied from our last response dated May 2, 1996. It is entitled ROUND ROCK APPT,ICATION FOR SPREAD SPF.CTRIJM. NOTE: Any time any other sites become of a critical nature that need peer to peer between the two adjoining or related sites, we can install this same system for those sites. These radios can pass data on to each other, if we ever did need that capability for these types of solutions. Each addition, now or later on, would incur a cost of approximately $1,700.00, per each end and would be a turn key price including all parts and labor. FREE STANDING TOWER AT THE MASTER SITE If you look into the future and do find you would not be satisfied with guy wires 120 feet from the base, even if they are elevated to a height of 8 feet on poles, (the poles themselves might be a problem),. now is the time to consider the installation of the 150 foot free standing tower. I am sending some pictures of the one we just did for the REXENE Products Co., in Odessa, so that you can see what takes place. We4a recommend Avis, if possible, within your budget allowances if the future plans would be compromised by the guy wires on the eight foot guy poles.. I have included a page of photos depicting the installation process PCI goes through in installing a free standing tower. Now is the time to consider this as if you do it later, the costs we incur now would be wasteful for the City. WIN 911. WIN 411 If your committee, and especially the future operators of the system, feel this would be an asset in their total operation of the system, this product would be the best solution to that possible need addition. It was designed to work with Wonderware and is supported by Wonderware. Therefore, if you find this a plus, we da recommend this option. Note: This is an option that could be added later, with no additional costs added other than those shown, if you are not certain about this option at this time. We do hope we have covered both your concerns and some other areas that might enhance the final design of this system. However, if selected, we feel there will be more refinements as we go along.

If the SCADA system in place had a communication loss, someone would have to manually insure that there was not a loss of pump control and water delivered to these key areas. After reviewing our options, PCI Specialized Services felt the most secute means of insuring that these areas always had water delivery, would be to install a second, backup SCADA radio system just at these specific sites. Our design has these backup radios always ready to take over the monitoring and control of these critical sites the moment they detect a communication failure at the Master Site. The PCI design does not utilize a store and forward design for the central communication system. Rather, we feel guaranteed line of site communication from each remote back to the Master is very important. Therefore, since we cannot do that at these critical sites, a second frequency, using direct point to point communication was necessary. By using the spread spectrum technology, we do not have to apply for a new set of frequencies. As you know, they are very hared to get in the licensed, 900MHz band at this time. As 900MHz is the cleanest of all possible data bands available today, using the 900MHz spread spectrum is the most reliable choice we could make. In 1995, PCI Specialized Services received a very large RFP opportunity from the City of Nashville, Tennessee. It was for a City Water Control SCADA System, just as the City of Round Rock is considering. As we read the lengthy specifications, we found that the only radio they would consider was the Metricom 900MHz Spread Spectrum UtiliNet. To restate this, no other radio would be considered. Their City communications personal had spent a long time looking into what the best solution to their needs were and settled firmly on the Metricom data radio. As Nashville is too far from our Corporate based business, and PCI does not have a shop there at all, we elected not to bid on this. In a copy of the SCADALETTER, the international magazine for SCADA, in another article in 1994, we read that the City of Cleveland, Ohio, had just completed a complete City Water Control SCADA System. They, too, only used the Metricom 900MHz Spread Spectrum UtiliNet data radio. I talked to the water director several times and they were very pleased. At that time, PCI Specialized Services was actively seeking the best solutions to the wide variety of applications we felt we would soon face. If we do have the opportunity to make a complete presentation to the City of Round Rock committee concerning this RFP in the next couple of weeks, we will be prepared to further discuss the reliability and efficiency of using this technology with information we will acquire from Cleveland and Nashville. As noted earlier, we are enclosing a copy of the Metricom UtiliNet brochure in this packet. After reading it, and reviewing the companies and types of organization using this technology, we can further discuss and explore the use of this as a solution to the needs of a backup at these critical water sites. As you do have a 900MHz licensed frequency, we did not recommend the use of spread spectrum for the entire system. Nashville did not have one and this led to their search for alternative 900MHz solutions and for brand names and spread spectrum manufacturers that would be long term and reliable. SUMMARY: We hope we have clarified the questions sent to us. Please let us know the next step. We sincerely appreciate the consideration you have shown us all. Sincerely Yours, 4 Bob Halford PCI Specialized Services cc: Rory Lacy PCI Specialized Services Randy Walker PCI Specialized Services 24 PCI TOWER INSTALLATIONS INSTALLATION STAGES OF A FREE STANDING TOWER The photos below are of a 120 foot free standing tower that was part of the new Rexene Products Co.

In the event of communication failure with the host, the following locations shall be configured to operate as stad - alone systems: 12.2.1 High Service Building to Barton Hill Tank 12.2.2 Lake Creek Pump Station to Tower Pump Station 12.2.3 Tower Pump Station to McNeil Pump Station 12.2.4 McNeil Pump Station to Chisolm Valley Standpipe PCI RESPONSE: (1) Subject: Single RTU (PLC) units: The PCI designed system consists of a RTU enclosure housing one Modicon PLC per site. There are two areas to discuss when we talk about stand alone capabilities for this particular project for Round Rock, (A) PLC Stand Alone capability, and (B) Communication Stand Alone capability. (A) The Modicon PLC, can be programmed as a stand alone unit at each site. In the event of a loss of the Master site. the Modicon PLC can take over the operation of that remote site according to the parameters of the stand a one progr As it is constantly making an effort to communicate back to the Master, when communication is re- established, the Master will resume its programmed monitoring and control of the remote site affected. (B) Communication Stand Alone capability, in relation to the project in Round Rock concerns the selection of certain critical sites. This revised request list six sites: High Service, Barton Creek, Lake Creek Pump Station, Tower Pump Station, IvlcNeil Pump Station, and Chisolm Valley Standpipe. PCI has designed a complete communication redundant package for these critical sites. Each NEMA Enclosure will have two communication radios. The first data radio, acting as the prime communication radio, will be the 900MHz MDS radio operating on the 900MHz frequencies assigned to Round Rock by the FCC. The second radio will be the Metricom 900MHz data radio. Both of these radios are monitoring the activity of the Modicon PLC at all times. In the event of a loss of communication back to the Master, whether it is lost at the Master, or whether it is due to the remote primary radio (MDS) at one of these six sites, the Metricom radio will take over operation to the site to which it is programmed, per the revised instructions on this 28 May request. When the original primary communication is reestablished, the Metricom will automatically relinquish control of the system back to the Host. Subject: Loopback diagnostics shall be available on both the remote and host telemetry equipment. There are two sections to be understood when it comes to diagnostics of the telemetry 2 equipment. These are (A) Diagnostics of the PLC itself, and (B) Diagnostics of the data radio communication device PLC DIAGNOSTICS The PCI bid quote, as it was first bid, and as it remains, without any cost adjustment, included the ability of the Modicon PLC to have within its capabilities, the ability of the Wonderware programming to be set up to allow for a very flexible set of diagnostic parameters to be checked within each individual RTU site's Modicon PLC. A representative graphic of each Modicon PLC, with its remote address, can be configured as a Wonderware screen. This area can be used to monitor and diagnose PLC conditions and any problem with the PLC that might exist. DATA RADIO DIAGNOSTICS Also, within the scope of the diagnostics design, done by Randy Walker, is his ability to write a set of diagnostics for each remote data radio also, without adding further costs to the bid as originally submitted and, now, resubmitted: Randy can program the system to diagnose many areas. Please find attached a copy of page 48 and 49, taken from the Standard Automation and Controls, Inc. MODBUS SCADA DDE Server User Manual (Revision D). PCI did not bid a diagnostics package for the proposed MDS Data Radios, in a stand alone capacity, as we do have the diagnostics capabilities that you will find on the MODBUS SCADA DDE Server User Manual. However, for informational support, there is a complete diagnostics package available for the MAS system from Microwave Data Systems for the 900MHz data radios (model 2100's). This would involve the addition, also, of a change in the selection of the Master Station radio. This would be the place, also, to add the Optional Cost of a "Hot Standby" data radio Master. During the visit we had two weeks ago, at which time Randy and I demonstrated and explained our design, a question concerning Master Station redundancy was asked. Our design recommends the installation of a MDS 1000U set up as a Master Station. In the event of a power surge which might "hit" the master radio, we recommend having a duplicate MDS 1000U ready to put in its place. The cost is many times lower than the installation of the more complex hot standby master model, MDS Model 2130 which can have or, not have "Smart Diagnostic ". We feel the capabilities of the Modicon SCADA DDE Server would be a redundant situation. We would like to use any additional funding you might want to do on more productive areas, such as a stand alone radio tower, if you feel that would be an asset. ADDED COSTS REQUESTED AND ADDED TO THE COST LIST AS "ADDITIONS" (1) The original RFP listed five critical sites where communication Stand Alone capability was needed. These sites were: Lake Creek Tower, Chandler, Bowman, and North 81. Per the 28 May revised site selection, and supported by the FAXED clarification, which 1 sent to Round Rock on 4 June, and received back on 5 June, the Water Department now wishes only to secure communication back up at these six sites: Lake Creep Tower, High Service, Barton Hill, McNeil, and Chisolm Valley. This will require the addition of one completed installation of a Metricom 900MHz package. That will consist of the radio, Antenna, cable, connectors, and installation labor. The added cost will be: One added backup com. system $1,700.00 OPTIONAL COSTS FOR CONSIDERATION (2) HERE ARE THE COSTS FOR THE ADDITION OF AN OPTION TO THE PCI BID FOR A MDS HOT STANDBY MASTER (THIS MASTER IN EITHER NORMAL OR HOT STANDBY MUST BE ORDERED FOR THE MASTER TO BE ABLE TO DO COMPLETE DL4GNOSTICS HOT STANDBY WITH DIAGNOSTICS 1 MDS MODEL 2310 HOT STANDBY MASTER WITH $8,500.00 "SMART DIAGNOSTICS ", WITH 1200 BAUD MODEM 38 (34 IN SERVICE AND 4 BACKUP) REMOTE DIAGNOSTIC 7 790.00 MODULES FOR THE MDS MODEL 2310 REMOTE 900MHz UNITS THAT WILL BE INSTALLED WITH "SMART DIAGNOSTICS" $16,290.00 3 (3) OPTIONAL COSTS FOR A 150 FOOT FREE STANDING TOWER AT THE MASTER SITE LOCATION (WATER PLANT) There was a question asked by Steve Miller concerning guy wires and their extension into the future parking area. We can address this question from two different viewpoints. If we raise the present antenna as we have already bid to 150 feet, our plan included using elevated guy poles. The design engineering would call for the use of eight foot poles located 120 feet from the base of the present antenna. You may measure the length from the base of the tower, as it now stands, to determine to find how far from the base it now is guyed to determine how much further we will be out into those areas. At eight feet, the guy wires can be driven under by most vehicles. If you elect to install a new self supporting 150 foot tower, there will not any guy wires at all. Therefore, the first viewpoint, elevated poles, is paid for as is. The second viewpoint to consider would be a new 150 foot self supporting tower. The optional additional cost to the project would be an addition of: 150 Self Supporting Tower $14,500.00 (4) OPTION FOR ADDITION TO THE GRAPHICS PACKAGE WITH WIN 911 AND WIN 411 SOFTWAREAND CARD INTERFACE. After listening to the input from our demonstration and presentation two weeks ago, at which time we brought up this option, we felt we did need to include the use of WIN 911 and WIN 411 as another option to consider. As noted this package allows for a select group of assigned City of Round Rock Water Utilities staff members to be auto called if an alarm goes off at any remote site or the Master. The full package then allows for the operator to be able to call back into the system, interrogate the site calling in and more fully understand the problem. The operator, if he / she has the security code, use the DTMF key pad to take some action. For example, start a pump, etc. During the meeting, the Standard Automation representative mentioned a cost of around $1,000.00. This is a new product to Standard Automation to use with Wonderware. That cost was for only one 4 module that would be needed.. The total cost for this project using the complete WIN 911 and WIN 411 package with the necessary interface card would be: WIN 911 and WIN 411 Bundled Package: Interfaces voice, telephone pager drivers, ALPHANUMERIC PAGER PACKAGE: Supports CRT, Printer, ASCII Messages, Data Monitoring Data Change Capability. Total Software Package $1,995.00 Add 911 Voice -U Voice Dialer Card 595.00 Add PCI programming, configuration, training 2 200.00 TOTAL OPTION SOFTWARE COST $4,790.00 SUMMARY I believe both our proposal visit and the opportunity to respond to this Request for Best and Final have been very valuable. At the proposal visit we had the opportunity to consider concerns members of your committee had about (a) the efficient redundant support for critical remote sites, (b) the type of basic communication design philosophy to be considered, and (c) possible problems with guy wires as they might effect future parking when there are changes at the Water Plant. The City of Round Rock needs to have all of the information it can to base its final decision on. Along the way, and through these questions, we have been able to further define how we would refine the design we would do based on the capabilities of the hardware and software we have recommended. In section one of the response I discussed the capabilities of the Modicon PLC to help diagnose communication problems. Again, that capability is attached in this response, entitled at the left top of the page, "5.5 Communication Statistics ". Please review these capabilities. The information will be programmed to be displayed on the Wonderware screen selected by Randy Walker. This capability is built in, paid for, and very adequate. Therefore, we do not recommend selecting the MDS diagnostic hardware as this will do fine. We highly recommend our original design on the selection of standby Master site data radio backup. We recommend having the spare MDS 1000U configured as a Master sitting on the shelf close to the Master in place. If that radio is lost due to any malfunction, especially a high electrical surge, the replacement with the spare that cannot be effected by the surge, is an easy matter. If the first radio is lost, your SCADA staff, or our PCI technical staff can replace the spare and you are back in business. Our staff will repair, or send in for repair, the first Master MDS 1000U. PLC Diagnostics Summary Randy can work with your SCADA staff to design a diagnostics screen that will monitor each remote PLC. He showed a screen on the graphic display of the PLC while we were there two weeks ago. This is paid for, will work, and would very useful. Diagnostics Summary We feel the capabilities of the two areas of diagnosis for the PLC and the communications system will be cost effective, as they are already paid for, be user friendly, and are capable of any expansion without any need for additional cost as you do build your system in the next years. The does satisfy the request for the availability of I oophack Diaanortics , if anyone with the City understand Loopback as a complete diagnostic system for all of the communication or PLC devices. Therefore, we do not recommend the additional expense of a MDS "Hot Standby" Master Package, with an indicated cost of $16,290.00 Final Summary of the Section Indicated as 12.2. The 900MHz Metricom radios which will monitor, at all times, the normal communication design of the MDS MAS system, yet work independent to insure a positive peer to peer link between the listed sites, is the best solution to your request, in our opinion. Again, please review the Metricom section I have copied from our last response dated May 2, 1996. It is entitled ROUND ROCK APPLICATION FOR SPREAD SPECTRIJM. NOTE: Any time any other sites become of a critical nature that need peer to peer between the two adjoining or related sites, we can install this same system for those sites. These radios can pass data on to each other, if we ever did need that capability for these types of solutions. Each addition, now or later on, would incur a cost of approximately $1,700.00, per each end and would be a turn key price including all parts and labor. OTHER OPTIONAL CONSIDERATIONS Best Regards, Bob Halford PCI Specialized Services cc: Rory Lacy PCI Specialized Services Randy Walker PCI Specialized Services 5 FREE STANDING TOWER AT THE MASTER SITE If you look into the future and do find you would not be satisfied with guy wires 120 feet from the base, even if they are elevated to a height of 8 feet on poles, (the poles themselves might be a problem),. now is the time to consider the installation of the 150 foot free standing tower. I am sending some pictures of the one we just did for the REXENE Products Co., in Odessa, so that you can see what takes place. We Flo reconunend this, if possible, within your budget allowances if the future plans would be compromised by the guy wires on the eight foot guy poles.. I have included a page of photos depicting the installation process PCI goes through in installing a free standing tower. Now is the time to consider this as if you do it later, the costs we incur now would be wasteful for the City. WIN 911. WIN 411 If your committee, and especially the future operators of the system, feel this would be an asset in their total operation of the system, this product would be the best solution to that possible need addition. It was designed to work with Wonderware and is supported by Wonderware. Therefore, if you find this a plus, we rho recommend this option. Note: This is an option that could be added later with no additional costs added other than those shown, if you are not certain about this option at this time. We do hope we have covered both your concerns and some other areas that might enhance the final design of this system. However, if selected, we feel there will be more refinements as we go along. x_ 6 )(2_0 ~ f - A 5 - /O E N TEL Via Facsimile and First Class Mail City Manager City of Round Rock 221 E.
