1.2 AESI Company Profile
Eramosa has engaged AESI to supplement the cybersecurity posture assessment portion of this project.
AESI is an engineering and consulting firm, serving utilities and municipalities since 1984. AESI staff of
over 25 professionals provide management and engineering services with a focus on cybersecurity
assessments, penetration testing and remediation design efforts.
Our in-house, highly knowledgeable professionals have extensive, real IT and OT experience that feeds
a healthy understanding of true operations, so the fundamentals of what is being protected are thought
of—from the individual cyber asset to the system as a whole. The nature of and importance of the
information that must be protected is well understood by the team selected for this engagement.
We have a solid history of helping municipalities and utilities develop and implement a synergistic cyber
security program from the fundamentals of assessing hardware and systems, to foundations of
training/educating the people that use those systems on a daily basis, and up through to reporting as
an element of risk management.
As part of this project, AESI will provide a Cyber Security Risk & Posture Assessment, Gap Analysis,
Cyber Program Framework recommendations and a Long-Term Roadmap for Bozeman. The authoritative
reference framework will be the NIST Cybersecurity Framework V1.1 (NIST CSF). Unlike our competitors,
AESI provides the native tools developed during the project (e.g., Risk/Impact Matrix, Heat Map of Impact
vs. Likelihood, Roadmap of prioritized People, Governance & Process, and Technology Action Items) to
our clients for use and management of their cybersecurity program, rather than simply pdf files.
2.0 EXPERIENCE
Eramosa has been delivering projects covering all aspects of SCADA and automation since inception in
1998. The addition of AESI to our team will bring their decades of cybersecurity assessment, design and
testing experience to augment this aspect of the Bozeman SCADA Master Plan.
2.1 Eramosa Experience
We trust that our team’s skills, knowledge, experience, and expertise are demonstrated throughout this
proposal and look forward to working with the City of Bozeman on this important project. We have
included three (3) projects below highlighting our experience completing Master Plans similar in scope
and magnitude to what the City will be undertaking.
Bozeman SCADA Master Plan SOQ 2021 4 Project Title Duration Owner / Agency Point of Contact Size of Project Scope of Services SCADA Master Plan, Design Upgrade, Construction Services, Standards (PCN) Project Duration: 2013-Present Inland Empire Utilities Agency 6075 Kimball Ave, Chino, CA 91708 Travis Sprague, IEUA, Project Manager 909-994-1992; tsprague@ieua.org $3,500,000 SCADA Master Plan, SCADA Upgrade Design, Construction Services, Standards (Process control narrative) Jeffrey Montano, PM Description of Type and Extent of Services This on-going project began with the development of a comprehensive SCADA Master Plan to define and document a roadmap for the implementation of the technology, practices and organization required to meet the Agency’s long-term vision for SCADA. The Agency’s current state was captured through onsite field investigations, reviewing existing documentation and conducting staff interviews. The Agency’s business requirements and vision for SCADA were captured through facilitated stakeholder workshops and by researching and analyzing technology alternatives and best practices required to address the Agency’s business requirements. Preliminary recommendations were reviewed to reach consensus on projects and priorities required to achieve the desired state, then project scope statements with budget and implementation plans were developed to bridge the gap between the current state and the desired state. The final SCADA Master Plan report provided a strategic roadmap for the Agency to invest $14.3 million in SCADA upgrades over a 7-year period. Key SCADA upgrade projects identified in the SCADA Master Plan included: Developing SCADA standards, guidelines, and specifications Developing a SCADA DR/BC plan and lifecycle management plan Developing SCADA governance, change management and organization support plans Performing an independent SCADA vulnerability assessment to determine the effectiveness of the Agency’s current security measures Implementing an enterprise-wide, fully integrated and uniform SCADA Supervisory Control level based on the Rockwell FactoryTalk platform Upgrading existing PLCs to the ControlLogix or CompactLogix processor Decommissioning the Foxboro Supervisory Layer Designing an Operational Data Management System (Historical data collection and reporting) Implementing an electronic document management system
Bozeman SCADA Master Plan SOQ 2021 5 Project Title Duration Owner / Agency Point of Contact Size of Project Scope of Services Developing a knowledge management plan Defining operational performance management KPIs Implementing equipment condition-based monitoring Automating workflow management Implementing electronic O&M manuals Eramosa has now been contracted by the Agency for design and construction administration of the SCADA System upgrades at RP-1, which is now underway. The project supplies the migration of the existing Invensys Foxboro DCS system to Rockwell Automation PlantPAx based SCADA Enterprise System. Consulting Engineering services provided include system pre-design, control panel design, process control narratives, design review, and services during construction. SCADA Master Plan Project Duration: 2018-Present Napa Sanitation District 935 Hartle Court Napa, CA 94559 Robin Gamble-Holly, Asset Management 707-258-6031, rgamble@napasan.com $175,000 SCADA Planning Jeffrey Montano, PM Description of Type and Extent of Services NapaSan desired an independent review and evaluation of their existing SCADA system. The purpose of the review was to develop a SCADA Master Plan to address immediate operational risks and issues, as well as outline a future pathway that ensures NapaSan can rapidly and cost-effectively respond to external pressures. The Master Plan will guide budgeting and planning for future SCADA system upgrades, additions and enhancements. The review assessed NapaSan’s SCADA system against leading industry practice, as well as the system’s suitability to meet the operational objectives of NapaSan. Through the review, a series of recommended upgrades and improvements to systems, processes, culture and organizational support were identified. These are necessary to address immediate operational risks, as well as make improvements required to ensure the long-term operational objectives of NapaSan are met. The review found that the SCADA Support group within NapaSan were doing a good job of maintaining the system. Despite this good work, the NapaSan SCADA system is aging. As a result, it is getting more difficult to maintain and the risk of a significant failure is increasing. There are three (3) areas where investment is required immediately:
Bozeman SCADA Master Plan SOQ 2021 6 Project Title Duration Owner / Agency Point of Contact Size of Project Scope of Services Critical to the operations staff’s ability to effectively and efficiently control NapaSan’s processes is the requirement for a Control Room that provides clear, calm and isolated control areas. Control Rooms need to be arranged in a manner that allows operations to focus without distraction by outside influences, which is most acute during upset or abnormal operating conditions. Industry practices should be applied to the SCADA applications to address items from graphical, alarming and reliability of the SCADA system. Efforts to define the configuration, connectivity, and notifications of the application will provide guidance for NapaSan the direction towards a solution that meets NapaSan’s requirements. Appropriate levels of Operational Technology Cybersecurity coupled with Operations focused Risk Management and Mitigation have not yet been deployed. The business has focused on this from the IT perspective and Risk assessments have been done using a subjective approach. Risk Assessments and culture change around risk assessment, mitigation, and acceptance need to occur. Mitigation strategy’s need to be agreed to and deployed with a network architecture hardening effort. Proceeding with these three recommendations will improve the security, reliability of monitoring and control, data collection, reporting and the alarming of vital system operations. The total of all high priority tasks required to implement the Master Plan was estimated. Project Title Duration Owner / Agency Point of Contact Size of Project Scope of Services SCADA Master Plan Project Duration: 2019-2020 San Juan Water District 9935 Auburn Folsom Rd, Granite Bay, CA 95746 Chris von Collenberg, IT Manager 916-791-6915, cvcollenberg@sjwd.org $230,000 Assessment, SCADA Master Plan Jeffrey Montano, PM “They delivered a modern SCADA Master Plan to the District. They accurately assessed our current SCADA state and provided us phased recommendations to put us on the journey to optimized operations. They were highly collaborative with leading key workshops and helped us to understand and prioritize what we needed moving forward listening to all departments. We have a path to align our new technologies with our business requirements the next 10 yrs. Their practice leaders are highly skilled, dedicated team and bring real world experience to a project.” Description of Type and Extent of Services
Bozeman SCADA Master Plan SOQ 2021 7 Project Title Duration Owner / Agency Point of Contact Size of Project Scope of Services San Juan Water District desired an independent review and evaluation of their existing SCADA system. The purpose of the review was to develop a SCADA Master Plan and address immediate operational risks and issues, as well as outline a future pathway that ensures the District can rapidly and cost-effectively respond to external pressures while keeping their SCADA System operational. The Master Plan guided budgeting and planning for maintenance of existing SCADA assets, plan future SCADA system upgrades, additions, and enhancements as well as establish Governance to support sound decisions. The District provides wholesale and retail water service. The wholesale area (which includes the District’s 17 square miles retail area) covers approximately 46 square miles in northeastern Sacramento and southeastern Placer Counties. The District wholesales water to San Juan Retail, Citrus Heights and Fair Oaks Water District, Orangevale Water Company, and the city of Folsom for its customers north of the American River. The District serves a population of approximately 151,000 within its wholesale service area. The District’s existing water supply consists of three separate raw water contracts. The first source of water is a settlement contract with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation that provides 33,000 acre-feet of water from the American River. The second source is via a long-term renewable contract with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation for 24,200 acre-feet of Central Valley Project Water. The third source is a contract with the Placer County Water Agency for up to 25,000 acre-feet of water. All sources of surface water are either stored or flow through Folsom Lake. Delivery is taken at Folsom Dam outlets, either by gravity or via the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Pumping Plant. SCADA systems are comprised of technology, physical equipment, and configuration that does age and reach the end of life. For SCADA systems, the life cycle period for the major components vary widely. The SCADA system was looked at and assessed on how well the overall SCADA system is supporting the operational goals and staying within current capital funding while planning for additional funding requests are processed. Action Plan projects were sequenced in order of criticality, starting with Urgent items done in the first three years of the ten-year action plan. The first phase addresses Organizational needs, the infrastructure and security of the SCADA network, planning for replacement of SCADA equipment and planning for instrumentation upgrades for increased reliability. The second phase of work is planned to be completed in the 3 to 6-year window for the overall 10-year plan and will address PLC, OIT & Radio obsolescence with control panel replacement, documentation and software management utilizing the development/test environment created in phase one. The final phase will address hardware update planning moving forward, documentation repository, the Server Room and change management.

Identified vulnerability in the ESCADA system, producing actionable remediation tasks that would
maintain safe reliable electricity distribution to Fort Collins residents and businesses.
Cybersecurity Risk Assessment
AESI was commissioned to identify key cybersecurity-related risk within their operations. These risk
management projects have been primarily focused on the high-level risks associated with executive
management governance and oversight.
Using a combination of risk management techniques (i.e., profiling tool, risk tolerance and heat mapping),
we worked closely with the client to conduct a risk assessment of its overall inherent risk (i.e., attack
surface and threat landscape) and establish the clients risk profile. The clients resultant risk profile and
security controls applied were mapped to the specific controls outlined within the NIST Cybersecurity
Framework. To assess the client’s residual risk, AESI used a Risk Matrix to populate, assess and rank the
effectiveness of the controls within specific risk area based on likelihood and impact.
AESI used the resultant residual risk assessment to provide the client mitigation recommendations that
align with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure. In addition, we
developed the long-term cybersecurity plan, with a road map of prioritized executable actions based on
the client’s budget and resources.
3.0 WORKLOAD
Eramosa and AESI are both very established and stable companies in their respective markets, and
therefore always maintain a healthy backlog without stretching our staff too thin. We are confident we
can provide all the manpower required to execute this project. We have proposed a team of Key Personnel
that are available for immediate mobilization upon notice to proceed, who would continue to be intimately
involved while leading the project. Specifically, the Project Manager and Lead Engineer can be available
for up to as much as half-time and other staff can be dedicated full time, should the agreed upon schedule
require it. Additional staff can also be engaged to focus on specific areas of expertise, allowing possible
parallel execution of tasks to accelerate schedule if desired. We have included a representative project
schedule in Appendix A, which should be a close approximation of what the City can expect, depending
upon the final scope and expectations.
Our firm’s relatively small size, flat organizational structure, and low overhead allows us to provide a high-
value project team at very competitive rates, giving the City of Bozeman the best “bang for their buck”.
4.0 PROJECT TEAM KEY PERSONNEL
We have assembled a team of experts and industry leaders in the planning, development and
implementation of SCADA and Control Systems specifically for the municipal water and wastewater
industry. Our team, depicted in the below organization chart, has completed and/or is in the process of

Vice President
Jeff Burton is a highly skilled project manager with demonstrated
accomplishments in engineering project pursuit and execution (including scope,
schedule, and budget performance), client management and new client
development, and team administrative leadership. As Vice President of Eramosa
International, Inc., Jeff has responsibility for all aspects of the Eramosa
Engineering’s U.S. business, including operations and team management,
strategic growth, business development, project execution and performance, and
conformance to quality standards.
PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Imperial Irrigation District (IID), WSA Capital Replacement Plan Update –
Eramosa was retained by IID to update their Water System Automation Capital
Replacement Plan. The new plan documented the existing SCADA assets
(hardware and software), developed a conceptual design to upgrade their
antiquated SCADA system, identified suitable replacements and upgrades, and
provided an annual, budgetary cash flow over the 20-year program life of the
Plan.
As Project Manager and Lead Engineer, Jeff inspected approximately 25 of the
109 sites in the IID system and lead the development of a conceptual design that
used standard configurations, equipment (including gates, actuators,
instrumentation, VFD’s, backup generators, and PLC and SCADA hardware and
software), and construction approaches for similar sites.
Jeff collaborated with IID to develop an implementation schedule using identified
risk criteria to prioritize and levelize the work. He then added budgetary costs to
the schedule, then levelized the work with respect to IID resource availability and
annual costs. Jeff then prepared the draft and final Plan reports and presented
the findings to the Program Control Committee of stakeholders.
Inland Empire Utilities Agency, SCADA Upgrade – As Project Director, Jeff
provided project management of the preliminary design for SCADA upgrade for
two facilities and complete design for two other facilities. These upgrades are
moving the system from Foxboro to Rockwell Automation PlantPAx. At this
point, one of the complete design facilities is complete, the two preliminary design
projects have just been awarded to a Design-Build contractor and have just
started the complete design of last facility to be upgraded.
City of Kitchener, SCADA Master Plan – The City contracted Jeff’s team to
develop a comprehensive SCADA Master Plan to define and document a roadmap
for the implementation of the technology, practices and organization required to
meet the City’s long-term vision for SCADA. The City was progressively
Jeff Burton| Page 2 of 3
becoming more dependent on their SCADA system to maintain regulatory compliance and service levels. As a result, the City
required that the new SCADA be designed to: (1) provide a high degree of reliability and system availability; (2) provide
Operations staff with centralized monitoring and control; (3) provide historical reports and trending; (4) provide remote access
to the HMI layer for monitoring and control of the system; (5) provide real-time monitoring of the system to allow Operations
staff to respond quickly to regulatory compliance events such as spills; and (6) be based on mainstream vendor products used
in the wastewater industry that have local distribution and support channels. The SCADA Master Plan assessed the SCADA
systems deployed at twenty-three remote wastewater pumping states and consisted of Flyght (Xylem) pump controllers,
Aquaview HMI software, and a 900 MHz radio network for communications with the remote outstations from City Hall. The
final SCADA master plan report provided a strategic plan for the City to invest $3.5 million in SCADA upgrades over a 4 year
period.
Region of Durham, Water Treatment SCADA Upgrade - The Region of Durham initiated the Regional Water SCADA System
Integration Program to manage the steps necessary to upgrade and integrate all its water supply SCADA systems into a single
standardized system capable of being remotely monitored and controlled. The project is being implemented in a multistage
approach, which started with the development of a SCADA master plan, followed by the detailed design and construction
stages. The scope of services provided as the prime consultant include: performing onsite investigations and asset collection
at all 65 water treatment facilities, defining high-level business requirements, defining technology alternatives, evaluating
alternatives against the Region’s requirement, defining the future desired state, developing scope of work directives for all
required SCADA upgrades to be performed during detailed design, developing a program roadmap and capital cost estimates,
developing detailed design drawings and tender specifications, performing all required systems integration services, and
providing contract administration / site supervision services. The SCADA Master Plan phase of the project was completed
and is currently on the implementation phase. The implementation phase consists of a $22 million SCADA upgrade program
for 6 water treatment plants (low lift, chemical, filters, high lift) and 59 remote outstations to the Region’s new SCADA
standard. SCADA upgrades included the design/construction of a new 18 GHz/3.65 GHz wide area network, Ethernet local
area networks at 6 water treatment plants, and retrofitting of existing control panels to accommodate the GE Rx3i controller
hardware platform. The new SCADA system standard utilizes several hardware/software vendors including: GE iFIX, GE
iHistorian, GE Change Management, GE Rx3i controllers, Solarwinds, ACP Thinmanager and Ignition.
