AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF NEW SWITCHING INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) STORAGE AREA NETWORK WITH PRESIDIO NETWORKED SOLUTIONS, LLC IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $126,027.36 FOR THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC UTILITIES
The Ordinance is for the purchase of new switching infrastructure for the Geographic Information System (GIS) Storage Area Network (SAN) to establish a parallel environmental for migrating from existing end-of-life network equipment. Deploying the new switch in parallel will allow the GIS SAN to be migrated in a controlled, phased manner without disrupting access to critical GIS data and applications. The approach minimizes the risk of service interruptions, allows for testing and validation prior to cutover, and ensures continued availability of GIS resources throughout the transition. The new infrastructure will provide a fully supported, secure, and reliable networking platform for the GIS SAN.
This is a joint purchase agreement with the State of Illinois under Do.IT Contract number CMT4021089.

AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH CERAM USA, INC. IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $590,000.00 FOR THE PURCHASE OF NEW CATALYST MODULES FOR THE DALLMAN POWER STATION’S UNIT 4, FOR THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC UTILITIES
The Ordinance request seeks authorization for the purchase of 42 new catalyst modules for Unit 4 SCR. Currently, we have 45 regenerated and 12 new Unit 4 catalyst modules in inventory and are no longer able to regenerate used catalyst modules. Purchasing the 42 additional Unit 4 modules will ensure that we have sufficient inventory to replace the bottom layer of 54 catalyst modules in 2027, which will require 18 regenerated modules and 36 new modules. Any remaining modules will be retained in inventory for the next catalyst replacement, which is expected to occur in 2028. These modules will use the SCR system to reduce NOx emission in the flue gas. The cost of 42 new replacement modules is $590,000.00. Due to milestone-based invoicing, the cost will be split evenly between FY27 and FY28, with 50% paid in FY27 and the remaining 50% paid in FY28. Ceram USA, Inc. is the OEM of our catalyst.
