Black & Veatch is currently supporting more than a <br />dozen utility AMI initiatives across North America. Some projects are just starting, while others are <br />leveraging recently completed AMI deployments to extract additional value and support operational <br />or customer service improvement efforts. <br />Black & Veatch has been exposed to the range of AMI technologies, variations of deployment issues <br />across multiple environments and the complexities of implementing these initiatives within the <br />utility enterprise. We have also completed numerous water planning projects across North America, <br />and have been integral to the analysis and review of metering changes, water loss management and <br />revenue impacts from AMI systems. <br />Table 1 below lists the projects where we have delivered feasibility studies and other services similar <br />to the scope of work outlined in the RFP as well as other aspects of Smart Water and Smart Grid <br />programs.
