Memorandum
Your approval is requested to approve a professional services agreement with Perceptive Controls, Inc. in the amount of $272,750.00 for the Tertiary Filter Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Replacement Project at the City's Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP).

This work also includes programming the new PLCs utilizing the current PICS programming standard, and modifying or recreating tertiary treatment process screens, alarms and data logging to the existing Historian server.
