Docusign Envelope ID: 8DB22FEB-26C9-4AA8-92E8-033D22A87DE7 <br />E SOURCE PROPOSAL TO CITY OF SANTA ANA FOR AMI IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORT SERVICES <br />Task 5: Quality Assurance and Field Inspection Services <br />The AMI project involves the installation of thousands of properly configured meters and meter <br />interface units (MIUs) as well as the careful coordination of the materials, labor, and data. To <br />accomplish this scope, E Source has expertise in deployment planning and oversight to ensure the <br />AMI meters and communications equipment are installed correctly and efficiently with minimum <br />disruption to existing Santa Ana systems and business processes. <br />E Source personnel have decades of experience working closely with AM] and Meter Installation <br />Vendor (MIV) contractors and utility crews through interactive workshops to present and refine the <br />business processes, construction, and labor standards necessary for effective meter and MIU <br />installation. We also have specific experience with meter installation at Santa Ana and understand the <br />specific needs within your community. <br />E Source presents industry best practices for the planning and installation of meters/MIUs and have <br />worked with Santa Ana's project team to tailor these processes to the specific requirements and <br />standards of the City. Additionally, this implementation and planning effort includes identifying and <br />documenting installation, construction, and customer contact standards. E Source has and will continue <br />to provide advice and consulting to the City to leverage lessons learned on similar scale meter and <br />endpoint deployment projects in North America. <br />E Source will: <br />• Perform in -field installation quality audits of meter installations performed by Concord, including <br />checking for post -installation leaks and overall workmanship. <br />• Track and report to the City and Concord any meter and/or MIU related exceptions encountered <br />during installation quality audits. <br />• Perform data quality audits using Concord's Peak Workflow WOMS to verify meters and MI Us <br />are installed correctly. <br />• Review and advise the City on the progress of installations and volume of rework / Return to <br />Utility (RTU). <br />• Address any potential disagreements that may arise between vendor partners and/or the City <br />on responsibility for issues identified. <br />DELIVERABLES <br />-- Inspection reports on verification of MIV work in the field <br />
