Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes an agreement with DNV GL Noble Denton, Inc., to conduct a water system model for the city’s watermain distribution system for an amount not to exceed $78,000. The project proposal is attached as Exhibit B.
DNV GL Noble Denton, Inc., provided the modeling software for the natural gas system. Use of their product will allow staff to operate in a similar computer environment and eliminate additional training. Modeling of the city’s watermain distribution system is required due to the amount of watermain breaks and leaks that have occurred and repairs that have been performed since the last model was created. Additionally this model would be fully integrated with the Arc-GIS program the Public Works and Engineering Departments currently use.
Requisition No. 15-0528
