4. Executive Summary <br />It is UtiliWorks' understanding that the City of Santa Ana has already taken steps to assess the <br />feasibility of AMI technology for its customers, including related operational technologies, such <br />as Meter Data Management (MDM) software, By refining an AMI system solution with UtiliWorks, <br />the City will be able to better realize the project objectives outlined in the City's 2016 <br />feasibility report: providing higher levels of customer service and water usage information to <br />enable water conservation by customers, and improving the water system operations and <br />efficiency, <br />Through our experience interacting with utilities, vendors, and our own research, we have <br />gathered a wealth of information of various AMI technologies. Our understanding provides <br />valuable insight to the best suitable AMI technologies for the City's specific situation and needs. <br />Provided below is an example knowledge capture work product of water AMI solutions in a <br />matrix form. We are familiar with all major water AMI technology vendors while maintaining <br />vendor -neutrality. <br />Q <br />W.Mor MOO allRh%mt" <br />Water AME Solutions <br />Proprietary Information; <br />Vendors Names Withhe[d <br />Fhtieoc*-t+ FRfi PLG!, ,w cY:? <br />FF <br />I rig <br />rRF <br />PG <br />W JRr <br />£i8 Rr <br />r7r <br />Casu".� i� <br />,Ww140ir4i <br />I Nkp <br />/2w <br />PIMP3_iF}.R <br />fFY.iS% <br />P"r.�'�i <br />NA`#� 1 <br />Iwl1111'b kr:,n <br />:Fi:L>;ai=kd <br />Y <br />Y <br />N <br />Y'!J <br />H ti <br />Y i to <br />H <br />x <br />t�Ceir•+i td; a <br />a GaPd <br />ta,e <br />CCkb2s <br />904:?590"2M <br />IZ!Yd 0a�?7. <br />4w2-Yd� <br />93F <br />ptUM <br />041 <br />71 <br />&Ji <br />IO W <br />sy2 <br />:v!3 12 <br />Sit7 <br />4 : <br />Bd�R'FXJ 18aEr3rry idrm;'r�l <br />�F4c <br />t�tQ Pry � <br />YJ l*x <br />76 �����'� <br />_ <br />25 3T� <br />35 Ra � 9Q ��a <br />Y <br />KFn I <br />.NstParcamanca �«ia.xee7 <br />t6 pr 3rtt <br />Figure I - UtifiWorks AMI Vander Matriy <br />Because technology and services in the industry have grown since the time the City's feasibility <br />report was commissioned, UtiliWorks is able to leverage its experience in AMI procurement, <br />contracting, and deployment to engage in knowledge -share with the City and fill in gaps <br />regarding AMI solutions. Using our institutional knowledge, UtiliWorks is well -prepared to make <br />recommendations to City on all aspects outlined in the City"s RFh, including: <br />A. Smart Metering Technology <br />B.
