Project Mission Statement Utilize the Hydraulic Model to add value to the City of Santa Ana's (City) water business by offering insight and foresight into operational and planning decisions. Key Objectives The key objectives of this Water System Computer Modeling Project (Project) Include: 1. Building an accurate, operational hydraulic model which the City can use to confidently plan and operate its water system. 2. Calibrating the model to consistently achieve regulatory compliance; assure pipeline capacity for consistent, acceptable customer service, and optimize operations to reduce wear on facilities and operational spending. 3, Analyzing (Value Add) the water system model by applying planning and operational criteria. Results of these analyses will be directly applicable to the City's Water Master Plan, and provide insight into fire flow deficiencies, locations of vulnerability, potential flushing areas, and system bottlenecks to reduce energy spend. Build — Calibrate - Analyze — will be consistent themes throughout this proposal. Our phased project approach will continue to support this focus. a. Approach b IDM proposes an approach to support and reinforce this Project's Mission Statement and Key Objectives This section of our proposal will discuss the primary drivers to support the Scope of Work In the City's RFP. 2. Implementation Plan 1. Data Collection using a proven Data Request List (DRL) and a review of system hydraulics to ensure model convergence, and support calibration. 2. PIan1 establishes assumptions and methodology for foundational elements of this Project. 3. Build a Robust Hydraulic Model, considering the hydraulic sensitivity of the City's water system. 4. Plant & Calibrate establishes the process, resources, and goals for model calibration & calibrates to acceptable tolerances for Planning and Operational applications. S. Analyze the calibrated hydraulic model to ensure water system capacity and efficiency. 6. Deliver a sustainable solution for the City's ongoing hydraulic modeling, training included. Using this approach and our proposed Project Workplan (Figure 1, below), IDM will "create accurate and robust analysis tools for detailed operational and planning analysis.
