Functional Specifications Development and SCADA Programming Services ENTERPRISE EA Project Number: EA23CSA090, 0.0.0 AUTOMATION + A-- COM-Y 3.2.2 SCADA Source Control EA has implemented and continues to utilize a source control system internally to track all changes to SCADA configurations, PLC programs, firewall configurations, smart field device configurations, and related devices. With the existing system in place, EA will maintain source control for the City, ensure all backups are up to date, and update/check-in/check-out source control documentation on an as needed basis. 3.2.3 SCADA Change Control Similar to source control, EA has implemented and continues to utilize a change control system internally to track all desired changes to the system, preventing ad -hoc changes to configurations that do not get documented. With the existing system in place, EA will maintain a change control system for the City, ensure all existing change requests are captured accurately in our system, and update change control documentation on an as needed basis. 3.2.4 Value Added Related Services There are several tasks that are necessary for the completion and success of each site capital project but were not included in the City's RFP. These tasks have proven critical in maintaining project budgets, schedules, and deliverable quality. We consider them non -optional scope. 3.2.4.1 Specification handovers Once the final functional specifications and test documents have been developed, EA will hand over them over to the City's contractor and integrator to develop configurations and construct the require control panel(s). 3.2.4.2 Testing contingency In previous projects with the City, EA has found that the SCADA FAT, panel FAT, and SAT testing procedures typically consume more time than the City has specified in their RFP. Due to this, EA has included additional testing budget to ensure EA has enough time budgeted to support these crucial testing procedures. 3.2.4.3 Training Following commissioning for each site capital project, EA will plan to train City operations staff on the operation and use of the updated controls system assets. This task has been a crucial part of previous change manager projects to ensure seamless operations for the City's staff and less oversight needed from EA once the site has been commissioned. 3.2.4.4 Post -commissioning as -built updates Also following commissioning, EA will update the developed specifications to as -built. The intent is to close the project out with documentation accurate to the field to aide with any future modifications and maintenance.
