Andy,
Thank you for taking the time to meet with me today and show me the lift station. Our ultrasonic can be mounted at the top of the manhole and will work very well.
I could come in and give out and give a full presentation to everyone or do it on the phone and on the web on Mission Communication-Cellular SCADA to replace your existing auto dialers. For what you are paying for your phone lines you can have so much more or even save a lot of money. With our system you will be notified via email, text, pager, voice or fax of any alarm condition (AC power fail, Com fail, Generator fail, etc.) that happens at the site.
Mission currently monitors over 1,800 municipalities across the nation with around 150+ of them being in the state of Oregon and Washington. Some of these include Gresham, Washougal, Corbett Water, Brookings, Coquille, Cannon Beach, Netarts Water District, Coos Bay North Bend Water Board, Roseburg Urban Sanitary, Twin Rocks Sanitary, Warrenton, Eugene, Clean Water Services and numerous others. I can provide references for as many as required. I can also do site surveys for the other locations as well.
Each morning you also will receive via email, fax or text a pump start report the help to identify any problems with your pump stations. Below is a sample for the City of Warrenton. They are having issues with the vacuum compressor and pump 1. I have also attached a sample alarm notification for high wet well level for the City of Canby.
The RTU’s work over the cellular network and can use Sprint, Verizon, Nextel or AT&T depending on the best coverage in the area and we can mix and match accordingly. This is on the data side, not the voice side. The RTU’s then transmit the data (level, pump starts, runtime, flow, intrusion or whatever in landed onto the board that requires monitoring) to one of 3 separate servers that continuously update each other. These are server farms that house companies server information like Google, Bank of America, etc. From there the information from the site populates onto the customers website where they can access current status of their installations, all of the statistical data (Mission stores all of this data indefinitely), alarms, reports, callout schedule, control, etc. There are 3 different levels of passwords available so security is not an issue. I could keep going but I will stop for now and discuss during the site presentation.
There are two different systems for monitoring pump stations. The M850 and the M150. The M850 reports alarm conditions immediately via text message, fax, email, voice, etc. It also streams data the web page, collects the data and displays the alarms, pumps running, service technician on site, etc. The M150 alarms are instantaneous and the data it is connected to is polled every hour and updated on the web if we are connected directly to the digital and analog signal. Both of the device are identical with the exception of the software inside of the RTU. The standard RTU comes standard with 8 digital, 2 analog inputs and 3 relay outputs. This can be expanded if more are needed but is adequate for most sewer pumping stations.
OPTION 1-Real Time (required for automatic control applications)
M850 RTU in a NEMA 1 Enclosure (1 required at each remote location) $2,245.00/each
M850 1 Year Service Contract (1 required for each location. See attached for what this includes) $ 563.40/each (46.95 paid annually)
New Account Setup Fee (One time charge for training and web site setup for the entire system) $ 250.00
Shipping ($35 flat fee per RTU)
OPTION 2-Once an hour updates (real time alarms)
M150 RTU in a NEMA 1 Enclosure (1 required at each remote location) $1,445.00/each
M150 1 Year Service Contract (1 required for each location. See attached for what this includes) $ 347.40/each (28.95 per month paid annually)
1-New Account Setup Fee (One time charge for training and web site setup for the entire system) $ 250.00
Shipping ($35 flat fee per RTU)
The station we visited today I would recommend a NEMA4 enclosure (add $100) so it doesn’t pick up moisture. They have pre payment discounts available on the service contracts, if you prepay 3 year in advance you get a 15% discount.
After the upfront cost of whichever package you decide (you can mix and match or upgrade later down the road), would be responsible for the annual service contracts for the RTU’s each year after. I have attached a document “Annual Service” that explains everything on what is included with this. The nice thing about this is that the City can make a budget for this and meet this every year with no hidden fees software upgrade or expensive visits from the integrators. This cost will likely be less than or equal to of what the land lines cost. Again, one major thing to consider – with the land line if the communication is ever lost the City will not be notified, with our system you will be notified if there is a break in coms for a user defined period of time.
Here are a few references. I would be happy to help arrange some site visits if you are interested.

Subject: Request for Information
Tim, we are planning out our lift stations right now with Dyer partnerships. Will you please provide us with
1) Quote for Pulsar Ultrasonic eye and associated controller, with 3 relays (2 for pumps on/off, 1 for high level). Please include parts list that we can use to pass along to our master planning engineers. Also include some time to work with our Electrician for initial install and verification (Cherry City).
2) Specification for your recommended telemetry RTU and webservice, along with monthly cost estimate for Master Planning Engineers.
