DISCUSSION
In 1998, the Public Works Agency (PWA) selected Microstation software to
meet the City's Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) and mapping requirements.
Subsequently the City's digital mapping has been standardized on this
software, including of the water distribution system. These digital maps
provide water information to the City's Geo-based Information System.
Within the last decade, Bentley Systems acquired Microsation.
The proposed water system modeling software, a module of the existing
Bentley CAD software, will be used as a planning tool by the Water
Resources Division to identify deficient water pipelines and upsize the
correct pipes in the field. All of the city's pipes, pump stations,
reservoirs and other water system components will be modeled in this
system. The software will illustrate various routine and emergency
scenarios to validate the various water system components and plan for
future operational system changes and upgrades.
As the water modeling software works in
software, staff recommends its purchase.
