RE:	Annual software maintenance for G. E. Fanuc SCADA software

I. Intellution Software Maintenance   The City pays annual software maintenance for software used with GE Fanuc equipment used by the Utilities Department to manage their SCADA networks at all three plants, and has used the Intellution Software for many years.   

II. Intellution Software   The Intellution software being renewed is used by the Utilities Department to manage the SCADA networks and operate the GE Fanuc equipment controlled by the software.  This software is manufacturer specific and is purchased directly from the Manufacturer (G. E. Fanuc), but processed through the provider for our territory, Industrial Network Systems, (INS).  INS processes all orders of G. E. Fanuc software for all end-users, resellers and integrators in this area.  This is a sole source purchase. 

III. Software Funding   The software is funded by the Utilities Department and is broken down as follows:

Wastewater Plant	501-7310-583.40-04	$10,469.65
Utilities Collections Division	501-7410-584.40-04	$10,469.65
Kaw Plant	501-7220-582.40-04	$10,469.64
Clinton Plant	501-7210-581.40-04	$10,469.64
	TOTAL:	$41,878.58

IV. Action Requests   Information Systems is recommending that the City of Lawrence approve a purchase order in the amount of $41,878.58 to GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms, Inc., c/o Industrial Network Systems to continue the City’s use of Intellution Software until March 1, 2011.
