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 <br />m <br />s: <br />Nt <br />ILYIr CGY¢dINF PLC Gr lr Z1 <br />FF <br />FF <br />PF <br />P; <br />I N° I FP <br />1 P <br />t 5F <br />Fi <br />Ce.. <br />'PmreC'i<m MNY+.VP1YaN PAP n,4Ci <br />0}111 <br />Ci!.q <br />P!'.N <br />1:6++ <br />Lily VW <br />i.Y.91 <br />Pi641 <br />G"P <br />Oii'J <br />I:It <br />} <br />�iPCCV"-_y <br />Y <br />Y <br />F <br />Y.V <br />A N <br />V <br />I 11 <br />N <br />Y <br />li LPJhbIIAVI <br />•:4+]E <br />ho 512 <br />0.:M <br />659 <br />{94a <br />+w1p <br />R¢nstll" <br />P1�GL1 <br />&U,hEt ii9;5 <br />Q` 11, <br />;9 Z-}t <br />90}.9}8 <br />.- <br />I , <br />uuw.eldnm <br />Dti9'T <br />i <br />i-- <br />., _ aa�- <br />Y I r <br />t <br />- A <br />1 <br />IY <br />1_ <br />v <br />�Y <br />Irnrran 0V9'.Jaa.xAC.tavr. <br />FI <br />V <br />Y ._ <br />1 <br />r,y'r'Toiiml5rtnaq;<eLtpl <br />+ <br />6a <br />F} <br />1A <br />}lJ 1 +} <br />5 <br />( 1 <br />+ <br />1 <br />I6ay0.'J'ltmsy Lrn bell <br />'b� <br />1}t9Pm <br />MFh <br />1+AFYP C <br />IOP,. <br />}J <br />m '., <br />iN:avl Pe2lmeMe Gu'arze <br />roe'_ <br />1 <br />ICYiUSg� <br />Y <br />Y <br />y <br />y <br />Y Y <br />N <br />Y <br />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.
