Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Autodesk InfoWater Pro is a computer modeling software used to model the City’s water distribution system. The model is representative of the City’s water distribution system infrastructure, customer demands, and system operations and controls. In-house uses of the model include analysis for right-sizing planned water mains, analysis of the effects of planned water main outages, and evaluating localized areas for fire flow capability. The model will be used to develop and execute a unidirectional flushing program as directed by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.
In response to an informal bid solicitation, Imaginit Technologies was determined to be the lowest and best proposal. Funds for this expenditure are included in the division’s 2024 approved operating budget.
