Set Public Hearing For <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with Hadronex, Inc., <br />subject to nonsubstantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney, to provide two- <br />way wireless communication, real-time, continuous, remote alarm monitoring management services, <br />in an amount not to exceed $75,000 annually, for a term of one year, with the option to extend for up <br />to three additional one-year periods exercisable by the City Manager. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The proposed agreement with Hadronex, Inc., will provide the City with a preventive mechanism to <br />immediately identify sewer system overflows in compliance with the State's waste discharge <br />requirements. The City of Santa Ana's sanitary sewer collections system comprises approximately <br />390 miles of sewer mains, two sewer lift stations, 48,500 sewer laterals, and 8,000 sewer manholes <br />that are used to convey all sewer effluent from the city into the Orange County Sanitation District <br />system. In accordance with the City's Sewer System Management Plan and the State's waste <br />discharge requirements, the City must inspect, assess, and maintain the sanitary sewer system in <br />good repair. <br />The SmartCover® technology developed by Hadronex, Inc., is a state-of-the-art system to assess <br />flow level surges inside sewer manholes and prevent possible sewer system overflows. Real-time <br />continuous remote sensors transmit alarms through two-way wireless communication and provide <br />data in an easy-to-use web-based interface. The agreement includes inspection, monitoring, <br />maintenance, and equipment for 20 SmartCover® alarm monitoring devices. The City will also <br />secure additional SmartCover® units to be deployed at strategic locations throughout the city. <br />Hadronex, Inc., has been providing remote alarm management services to the City since 2010, and <br />has a history of providing these same services to other cities and utility agencies. The SmartCoverO <br />system has been proven effective to date, and has enhanced the City's ability to comply with the <br />State's wastewater discharge requirements. <br />25E-1
