These digital maps <br />provide water information to the City's Geo-based Information System. <br />Within the last decade, Bentley Systems acquired Microsation. <br />The proposed water system modeling software, a module of the existing <br />Bentley CAD software, will be used as a planning tool by the Water <br />Resources Division to identify deficient water pipelines and upsize the <br />correct pipes in the field. All of the city's pipes, pump stations, <br />reservoirs and other water system components will be modeled in this <br />system. The software will illustrate various routine and emergency <br />scenarios to validate the various water system components and plan for <br />future operational system changes and upgrades. <br />As the water modeling software works in <br />software, staff recommends its purchase. <br />new software will be handled under th <br />License agreement. <br />conjunction with the existing CAD <br />Maintenance and support for the <br />e City's existing Bentley Select <br />22B-1 <br />
