body
BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) desires to implement a complete solution for Electrical Testing Data Management. The solution will be used for the collection, organization, trending, and reporting of electrical data from maintenance, condition-based monitoring, and inspection activities. A competitive procurement via a Request for Proposal was conducted and is described below.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Ensure the public’s money is wisely spent
• Maintain a culture of improving efficiency to reduce the cost to provide the current service level or standard
• Protect OC San assets
• Maintain a proactive asset management program
PROBLEM
OC San’s current electrical testing documentation, archiving, and data collecting is compiled manually by several work groups, resulting in inconsistent record keeping. Additionally, OC San’s current systems do not have capability for analysis of collected data for asset management optimization or establishing standardized electrical testing data processes. These deficiencies lead to operational and regulatory compliance risks and inefficient use of labor.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Procure and implement the software and hardware solutions from Avo Multi-Amp Corp. to automate the electrical testing process and establish a standard methodology for routing, testing, and trending electrical assets at Plant No. 1, Plant No. 2, and Pump Stations.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
OC San will be unable to verify electrical testing results and will fail to protect OC San assets.
