SUBJECT: Award of Duke Field SCADA Fiber Optic Link Bid No. 04-13 IS
DEPARTMENT: Information Systems

STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request Board approval to award the Duke Field Secondary Control
and Data Acquisition system (SCADA) Fiber Optic Link contract to CCI Systems, Inc. of Iron

Fiber Optic Link project. CCI Systems, Inc. has previously performed satisfactory work for
Okaloosa County on the 7th Special Forces Group SCADA Fiber Optic Link contract.
This vital fiber optic connection will provide redundancy for county network communications
along the critical Hwy 85 north-south fiber backbone. This new fiber will ensure that vital BCC
and Constitutional network operations continue uninterrupted in the event of a cut along a major
portion of the Hwy 85 segment. The redundancy will ensure that services such as telephone,
email and Internet remain in operation. The connection will also provide a valuable connection
to the Water and Sewer SCADA system allowing control and management over pumps and other
critical infrastructure. The project will be funded, in part, by Okaloosa County Water & Sewer in
the amount of $93,100 and staff requests the balance of the project funding, $70,418.08, be
allocated from BCC General Fund reserves.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove awarding contract to the low bidder, CCI Systems in the not to
exceed amount of $163,518.08.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff requests the Board to award the Duke Field SCADA Fiber
Optic Link contract to CCI Systems, Incorporated in the not to exceed amount of $163,518.08.
