The City's Water Enterprise provides water to all of Santa Ana's residents and <br />businesses, and it is imperative that water system management activities incorporate industry <br />best practices. One of these vital best practices is to create and sustain a water system hydraulic <br />computer model that utilizes technology to assist in the optimization of daily operations. This <br />model will additionally identify hydraulically deficient areas where the water system would benefit <br />from future capital improvements. <br />On February 113, 2014, at the conclusion of a Request for Proposal (RFP) process, City Council <br />awarded an agreement for the preparation of a comprehensive computerized water system <br />model. IDModeling, Inc., the successful proposer, is a leading expert in the field of water <br />modeling and has a proven record of successful water system computer modeling services <br />nationwide. The RFP Scope of Work was to proceed in phases and included the creation of a <br />comprehensive computerized water model, performing various analyses and water system <br />evaluations, as well as sustaining the model over time. The initial agreement awarded by Council <br />provided for the first phase, the creation and calibration of a water model along with some <br />preliminary analysis. At the conclusion of the initial agreement staff would analyze the <br />consultant's performance on the initial model- creation phase prior to proceeding with additional <br />services and agreement terms. <br />25F -1 <br />
