The work to be done under Contract #10603 will allow the District to continue maintaining the integration between the
existing rain gauge network and NEXRAD radar data in an effort that produces Gauge Adjusted Radar Rainfall (GARR) data
for use by District engineers, various planning and design consultants, and Operations divisions. This contract will continue
to allow web-accessible rainfall data to District personnel, monthly archive quality rainfall data, review and analysis of District
rain gauges, major rainfall event support, enhancing web-based tools, hydrologic stream response support, support for the
District’s hydraulic models and training. Radar rainfall data is a technology used to enhance hydraulic modeling and
calibration, confirming sewer flow metering responses to rain events, and inflow/infiltration assessments, CSO & SSO control
planning, watershed and stormwater programs, preliminary and final designs. This technology allows the District to estimate
more accurately the amount of rain that falls within District boundaries that is not detected at rain gauge sites. This contract
is for one year with an option to renew for two additional years.
FUNDING/COST SUMMARY:
Budgeted: Capital Improvement Program Budget Year: FY2011, Pg. 34 Amount: $120,000
Fund Name: #660 – Sanitary Replacement Fund
Additional Comments: The appropriation for Radar Rainfall data services is equal to the proposed funding presented in
the CIP Budget Supplement. Eight (8) prospective vendors requested information for the project. Three (3) prospective
vendors attended the pre-bid meeting and were sent information requesting qualifications. Two vendors were sent
information wherein they were prequalified to submit price proposals. Vieux and Associates was chosen to be the most

Cincinnati, Ohio; and Baltimore, Maryland, as part of CSO and SSO control plans and enforcement agreements. The
funding allows for improvements to the permanent rain gauge network, planning, coordination, training, and setting up an in-
house system.
