City of Santa Ana Public Works Agency I ADVANCED METERING INFRASTRUCTURE FEASIBILITYSTUDY <br />credentials, and our broad and deep relevant technical skills developed over literally thousands of <br />utility engagements. <br />Through our direct experience with the design, development, deployment, and integration of <br />advanced metering and automation solutions with back - office systems, we have developed in -depth <br />familiarity of not only the vendor solutions that currently exist in the marketplace, but also the <br />commitments and obligations of individual vendors from a delivery perspective. Our Smart Grid <br />lifecycle and vendor knowledge are characteristics that, we believe, set us above the competition, and <br />enable us to provide a thorough and proactive scope of services. <br />Project Organization <br />Black & Veatch has assembled a team of professionals in our AMI practice —all highly experienced in <br />water AMI and well versed in the development of feasibility studies, vendor technology evaluation, <br />organizational redesign and financial modeling. The Black & Veatch Project Manager will perform the <br />majority of the onsite work and will act as the key contact /principal agent for the City. The other <br />subject matter expert (SME) resources will be leveraged as appropriate to deliver the full range of <br />information required by the City in its Feasibility Study. We believe that the use of a primary <br />consultant supported by these three individuals with slightly varied, but complementary, knowledge <br />will provide the most efficient, comprehensive and cost - effective approach to this project. This <br />approach also enables the City to benefit from more of Black & Veatch's work for other utilities. As <br />part of project initiation, Black & Veatch will work with the City of Santa Ana to confirm our <br />application of this straightforward approach and to verify that key personnel assignments fully align <br />with your requirements. <br />* WOl sewe aSA$a.dare In Chorge <br />!f /w'hen Pdndpol Agent is unav ftahle <br />Project Team Qualifications <br />Each of our proposed project team members has helped develop water metering feasibility studies, <br />business cases, technology assessment, and organization business process redesign efforts for <br />multiple utility companies.
