Data Flow Systems (DFS) Telemetry Control Units

The City of Fort Myers is seeking to upgrade its Telemetry Control Units (TCUs) used in Lift Stations. The city intends to negotiate and award a contract with Data Flow Systems (DFS) for the provision of TCUs. The proposed action is for a product or service for which the city intends to utilize the NO VALUE Procurement method. The city is seeking to replace legacy and obsolete DFS TCU100s with the current released version of DFS TCU800s. The upgrade will enable standardization of TCUs and spare stock inventory, and improve features such as the ability to apply firmware upgrades. * The city has 84 legacy DFS TCU100s installed and in spare parts inventory, and 106 DFS TCU800s installed, in use, and in spare parts inventory. * The proposal offered by DFS includes discounted pricing and trade-in credit on the DFS TCU100s currently in use and in stock. * The city is seeking to utilize the current DFS TCU800 technology to reduce downtime and maintain a clean and safe Public Utilities operation.
