BUFFALO GROVE WATER Cam_
VARIOUS WATER TECHNOLOGY C2WISE
IMPROVEMENTS
February 1, 2022
The Village has a variety of Information Technology related improvements surrounding its water
distribution and wastewater collection systems. Most notably, the need to provide assistance
during the Aquify transition is urgent and related to other data. The following proposal outlines
proposed Time and Materials based assistance required to implement a variety of significant
improvements to the Village's water-based IT infrastructure. Following is the C2Wise
Consulting, LLC outline of our scope of services:
Project Scope
C2Wise will provide the following services as a part of this proposal:
• For this project, C2Wise will provide largely remote access-based assistance to
assist IT or Public Works staff in the following improvements. C2Wise will
provide project staff proficient in IT infrastructure, advanced cybersecurity,
identity management, enterprise database analysis,SCADA architecture design,
Python (data scripting),web-data management, and overall government
enterprise IT design.
• Note that many, if not all of the following projects will require administrative
access to various IT resources. Delays in proper access may also mean delays
in accomplishing objectives.
• Conduct online Teams style kickoff meeting to review various tasks, priorities,
and schedule, as well as introduce various team members.
• Review the requested tasks and achieve the following objectives with Village
assitance:
✓ Aquify Transition — Review the transition materials and assist with
transferring digital and physical assets to the Village and/or future cloud
infrastructure. Assist with implementation.
✓ ARPA Grant-Review ARPA grant requirements to provide potential funding
for SCADA and related alarming (potentially Win 911) improvements.
Provide recommendation and assistance during any application.
✓ Water billing cleanup — Review the Village's existing practices and
documentation surrounding the water billing process. Make IT, scripting,
NewWorld database, etc. recommendations to implement time-saving and
process simplification recommendations. Assist with implementation.
1
✓ SCADA Access database elimination — Review the current functions that the
water Access database is being used for. Identify and mitigate any current
functions with changes to facilitate the database's elimination. Provide
options for Village staff to export data from SCADA, Waterly, or Sensus data
for additional analysis. Review and recommend primary/foreign key options
to tie applicable data in SCADA or Sensus to GIS layers for future geospatial
analysis.
✓ GIS Connectivity and water usage analysis — We will work with Kyle and
MGP (the Village's GIS consultant) to recommend and develop "live"
integration between our meter zones and a spatial display. This will begin
with matching each user to their appropriate address, meter, zone, etc. but
will ultimately end with a visual display of that data represented across the
Village.
✓ High Resident Bill Power BI dashboard — We will review the Village's
Microsoft Power BI licensing and data connectivity, recommend, and assist
to implement the proper connections so that Village staff can display water
use trends (optionally per user). The final objective is to push a recognition
flag (Task) back to Cartegraph so that a resident or business gets notified of
high use. We will also review the Sensus flow data and work to produce a
comparison of produced to billed in Power BI (i.e., if there is a meter that is
reading zero for multiple months).
• If requested, provide updated network or business process diagrams to
document changes and improvements.
High-Level Timeline/Schedule
We understand the situation the Village is in concerning the Aquify transition. We commit to
prioritizing review, recommendation,testing, and implementation as appropriate to assist the
Village in transition tasks related to the Aquify infrastructure and software.
C2Wise can commit up to 20 hours per week to assist the Village with these projects. Seeing as
many of their scopes are dependent on how many options we explore and the feasibility of
solutions, we are unable to definitively say when each portion will be completed until that
project's feasibility and path forward has been decided. Once we have a scope for each
improvement,we will be able to provide a schedule for each, but we don't think anything in here
is beyond a couple of months to implement.
FEE
Services will be provided at an hourly rate of$150/hour with related travel billed at cost and any
project expenses billed at cost plus 10°%o. We are proposing a not to exceed value of$45,000 to
accomplish the objectives laid out above. Progress will be updated in a weekly email to track
spending. Due to the timing of this project,our staff have agreed to begin work immediately on
2
this project at no risk to the Village; if the project is not approved,the Village will not be billed for
time spent before formal approval.
APPROVAL
We understand the above scope of work and approve the project as described above and
authorize the team to proceed.
