CITY OF PUEBLO, A COLORADO MUNICIPAL CORPORATION, AND
BROWN AND CALDWELL, INC., FOR CONSULTING ENGINEERING AND
PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES WITH RESPECT TO UPGRADING THE
JAMES R. DILORIO WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY’S ROCKWELL
AUTOMATION FACTORYTALK VIEW SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND DATA

EXECUTE THE SAME
SUMMARY:
This Ordinance accepts an agreement between the City of Pueblo and Brown and Caldwell, Inc.
for consulting engineering services relating to upgrade the James R. Dilorio Water Reclamation
Facility’s Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk View Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
(SCADA) system.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On November 12, 2018, the City Council Approved Resolution No. 14081, selecting Brown and
Caldwell, Inc as the Engineer of Record for the Wastewater Treatment Department.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Pueblo has requested Brown and Caldwell to upgrade the James R. Dilorio Water
Reclamation Facility’s Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk View Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA) system. The SCADA controls all the programmable logic control (PLC),
the PLC controls all the automation throughout the plant. If the SCADA system were to fail, the
plant would have to be staffed twenty-four hours a day to insure all the processes are
functioning properly. Operators rely on this system to operate and monitor this facility safely and
efficiently. Over the years, this system has been developed to meet the needs of the operating
staff. However, the current version of the software is no longer supported by the current
computer systems. The current software requires Windows 7 operating system that is no longer
supported by Microsoft and is susceptible to cybersecurity attacks. With the SCADA software
version, the City of Pueblo has limited options to maintain a functioning SCADA system and is
at risk of irreversible damage or data loss.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The cost of the agreement with Brown and Caldwell to provide design services for the
rehabilitation project will not exceed $566,050. Funds are available from the WRF Facility
Rehab (WWAN04).
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None
ALTERNATIVES:
The no-action alternative will leave the Water Reclamation Facility at risk of irreversible damage
or data loss.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance
