MWDOC has developed and arranged funding through Metropolitan Water District of Southern California ("Metropolitan") and other sources for a program to provide rebates to owners of single family residences and small commercial properties to encourage them to retrofit existing operable irrigation timers with devices to control the amount of water used based upon weather conditions, ("Smart Controllers"). The Program is scheduled to provide rebates for up to Five Thousand (5,000) Smart Controllers installed by qualified participants in the Program area. The Program's objectives are to achieve savings in water consumption, reduce water runoff to storm drains and natural water bodies, and promote the goals of the Best Management Practices. MWDOC will contract for services of a qualified rebate contractor ("Rebate Contractor") to provide information about the Program and participation criteria to eligible participants, administer the rebates, and report the results of the Program. The rebate process will be initiated by a Program participant requesting a rebate application. The Rebate Contractor will keep a log of all rebate applications issued to potential participants. Upon receiving an application, the participant must complete the following two-step process in order to receive a rebate: 1. Once the Smart Controller is purchased and installed, the participant must complete and return to the Rebate Contractor the required items identified in Part One of the rebate application. In order for the participant to be eligible for a rebate, the Rebate Contractor must receive Part One of the rebate application within sixty (60) days after the application is issued and logged in by the Rebate Contractor. If an application is not returned within the 60-day period, the application will not be counted toward the maximum number of Smart Controllers authorized for the Participating Agency's service area;
