Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator <br />Sean C. Lieske, Director of Utility Services <br />From: Howard G. Richards, PE, Manager - Capital Projects <br />Subject: GrayMatter Change Order 1 for Industrial Control Systems Network Design <br />Descriptions and Conditions: <br />On January 11, 2022, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the award of <br />Request for Proposal (RFP) 2022014 to GrayMatter Systems, LLC (GrayMatter) to provide Industrial Control <br />System (ICS) Network Design in the amount of $60,448.00. The ICS Design project is a joint initiative by the <br />Indian River County Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS) and Information Technology (IT) to upgrade the <br />County's current ICS and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, and supporting network <br />infrastructure. These upgrades are intended to enhance the operational efficiency and cybersecurity posture <br />of the County's ICS and SCADA systems. <br />During the course of the design development by GrayMatter, multiple changes were made to the existing ICS <br />and SCADA systems that have required additional changes and updates to the new network design that has <br />been proposed. In addition, GrayMatter has held and will hold additional meetings and follow-ups for <br />documentation review and updating the following: asset inventory, diagrams, documents, bill of materials, <br />estimates, firewalls, internet protocol scheme, and virtualization. <br />Analysis: <br />To address the design changes and additional time required, GrayMatter submitted the attached work order <br />change directive for the amount of $20,250.00. GrayMatter has also requested an extension of the project <br />schedule by four weeks. Staff has reviewed the requested changes and concludes that they are reasonable. <br />Upon approval of the work order by the BCC, the agreement amount for GrayMatter will increase to <br />$80,698.00. <br />Funding: <br />Funds in the amount of $20,250.00 for this project are derived from the Utilities/Gen & Eng/Other Prof/Scada <br />Cyber Security account, number 47123536-033190-23545, which is in the Utilities operating fund. The <br />Utilities operating fund budget is derived from water and sewer revenues. <br />104 <br />
