Staff has researched several <br /> manufacture' s products and obtained quotes for this purchase. While staff <br /> was accurate in the amount requested for this purchase ($5, 000) , additional <br /> funds are required for the purchase of computer software to develop graphs <br /> and reports . <br /> Staff has been monitoring the computer lift station reports, noting <br /> increases in pumping hours during rainy periods in areas of the city. In <br /> light of the additional funds being required to purchase flow monitoring <br /> equipment, and the fact that when inspections begin (televising of mains) , <br /> staff can utilize TV data to help determine areas of high infiltration, <br /> staff requests to purchase inspection data software . This software will not <br /> only help track infiltration, but will compile data related to the entire <br /> condition of the sanitary sewer system. With this software, staff will be <br /> able to merge the data into the GIS program and plot maps and graphs to <br /> indicate areas in need of rehabilitation. Staff considers this purchase a <br /> wiser investment of funds available . <br /> Staff is requesting Council approval the purchase of inspection software <br /> verses flow monitoring equipment for $2 , 400 . The 1995 budget allotment for <br /> the flow monitoring equipment was $5, 000 . <br /> 74:17 .7 <br /> C-7.01 <br /> Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works <br /> RECOMMENDATION; <br /> Council authorize the purchase of inspection software for the sum of <br /> $2 , 400, to be funded from the Wastewater Budget, Underground Inspection <br /> Program, 730-4126-703 . <br />
