The objective of the Hydraulic Modeling Services Agreement is to partner with a qualified engineering consulting firm to support the City’s efforts related to the maintenance and application of the City’s water distribution system hydraulic model. The consultant must maintain their own software licenses needed to support the scope of work. Work that may be asked of the consultant under this agreement includes, but is not limited to the following: • Update the model to reflect current network, facilities, operation, and demand data. • Validate/Calibrate model updates. • Establish model scenarios to represent future conditions. • Analyze impact on service levels of various operational and network modifications related to capital improvements, pipe failures/outages, and constriction sequencing. • Review and evaluate model results as the basis for recommending water distribution system improvements. • Perform water age analysis. • Plan UDF programs. • Utilize the Protector Suite extension. • Automate model update procedures from GIS data. • Lead and support distribution system field testing efforts. • Lead training workshops with City of Evanston staff. • Prepare and submit technical memoranda to document modeling activities. • Lead coordination/progress meetings with City staff and management. • Present model results to City staff, Council members, and/or public groups.
