4. Executive Summary <br />It is UtiliWorks' understanding that the City of Santa Ana has already taken steps to assess the <br />feasibility of AMI "technology for its customers, including related operational technologies, such <br />as Meter Data Management (MDM) software. By refining an AMI system solution with UtiliWorks, <br />the City will be able to better realize the project objectives outlined in the City's 2016 <br />feasibility report: providing higher levels of customer service and water usage information to <br />enable water conservation by customers, and improving the water system operations and <br />efficiency. <br />Through our experience interacting with utilities, vendors, and our own research, we have <br />gathered a wealth of information of various AMI technologies. Our understanding provides <br />valuable insight to the best suitable AMI technologies for the City's specific situation and needs. <br />Provided below is an example knowledge capture work product of water AMI solutions in a <br />matrix form. We are familiar with all major water AMI technology vendors while maintaining <br />vendor -neutrality. <br />• <br />I - <br />� wobr MlY µFobulio <br />WaterAMISolutions T <br />Proprietary Information; <br />Vendors Names Withheld <br />rxeJzx,v vxssM <br />V <br />FC m s: <br />Nt <br />ILYIr CGY¢dINF PIC Gr lr Z1 <br />FF <br />FF <br />PF <br />P; I N° I FP 1 P t 5F FP <br />Ce.. <br />'PmreC'i<m MNY+.VP1YaN PAP n,4Ci <br />0}111 <br />Ci!.q <br />P!'.N <br />1:6++ Lily VW i.Y.91 Pi641 PVP <br />Oii'J <br />I:It <br />} <br />�iPCCV"-_y <br />Y <br />Y <br />F <br />Y.V A N V I 11 N <br />Y <br />li LPJhbIIAVI <br />•54+]E <br />ho 512 <br />0.: 9'A <br />559 <br />594a <br />+w1p <br />R¢nstll" &U,hEt ii -9;5 Q` 11, ;9 Z-}1 90}.9}0 <br />P1�GL1 <br />.- <br />I , <br />uuw.eldnm <br />Dti9' <br />ii <br />i-- ., _ aa�- t1 1_ <br />1 Y 1 - r - A IY v <br />�Y <br />Irnrran 0V9'.Jaa.xAC.tavr. 51 V <br />Y ._ <br />r,yr'ToumfSrtnaq;<eLepl <br />+ <br />o-1} <br />q <br />1A }l] 1 +} s ( 1 + <br />1 <br />I6ay0.'J'ltmsy Lrn bell <br />'b� 1OSOPm <br />MFM <br />10AFYP C 15P,. }J <br />m '., <br />iN:avl Pe2lmeMe Gu'arze <br />rael_ <br />1 <br />ICYiUSg� <br />Y <br />Y <br />y <br />y Y Y N Y Y <br />Y <br />Figure 1- UtifiWorks AMI Vendor Matrix <br />Because technology and services in the industry have grown since the time the City's feasibility <br />report was commissioned, UtiliWorks is able to leverage its experience in AMI procurement, <br />contracting, and deployment to engage in knowledge -share with the City and fill in gaps <br />regarding AMI solutions. Using our institutional knowledge, UtiliWorks is well-prepared to make <br />recommendations to City on all aspects outlined in the City's RFP, including: <br />A. Smart Metering Technology <br />B.
