GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency’s Water Resources Division oversees the City’s sewer
system. The sewer system comprises approximately 400 miles of sewer mains, two
sewer lift stations, 48,500 sewer laterals, and 9,000 manholes that collectively convey
all sewer effluent from the city to the Orange County Sanitation District system. In
accordance with the City’s Sewer System Management Plan and the State Water
Resources Control Board’s waste discharge requirements, the City must inspect,
assess, and maintain the sanitary sewer system in good repair and have programs in
place to prevent or minimize the occurrence of sanitary sewer overflows.
In 2010, the City initiated a pilot program for the deployment of sewer level monitoring
field devices called SmartCover®. The initial procurement of five SmartCovers was
processed by the City’s Purchasing Division through a purchase order. The
SmartCover® technology developed by SmartCover® Systems is a proprietary system
used to identify sewer flow level surges inside sewer manholes and identify sewer
system backups. The system uses real-time continuous data transmitted through two-
way wireless remote sensors, which can be viewed in a web-based interface and
provides staff notification of sewer flow level rises via email and text messages. To date,
the system has proven reliable and has alerted staff of sewer flow backups, allowing
staff to perform emergency maintenance and prevent sewer overflows onto streets,
sidewalks, public right-of-way, private property, and potentially open bodies of water.

The proposed quote (Exhibit 1) allows for the continued monitoring and maintenance of
existing SmartCover® units, as well as the acquisition of additional units.
Staff recommends awarding a purchase order to SmartCover® Systems, for continued
use and expansion of the technology and sensors in the field. The SmartCover®
technology has successfully provided remote alarm management services to the City
and has enhanced the City’s ability to comply with the State’s wastewater discharge
requirements.
