6 RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH ASL AQFLOW, INC. TO PROVIDE FLOW MEASUREMENT SERVICES FOR THE WELLS HYDORELECTRIC PROJECT 1. The District purchased an acoustic scintillation flow meter (ASFM) system from ASL AQFlow Inc. for measuring water flow through the Wells Hydroelectric Project turbines. 2. ASFM flow measurements performed to date at the Wells Project have demonstrated that ASFM can provide accurate, reliable data for measuring flow and optimizing turbine performance on the Wells units. In 2004 the District initiated a program to conduct off-cam performance tests on all ten Wells turbines. The program calls for two units to be tested in August of each year so that each turbine will be tested periodically on a five-year cycle.

ASFM flow measurement is a technique developed by ASL AQFlow, Inc. and ASL supplies the equipment and computer software used for ASFM flow measurement. The District will benefit from ASL assistance in setup and calibration of the ASFM equipment and in the production of a detailed report with thorough data analysis. Given the success of previous measurements, staff recommends that the District enter into a Professional Service Agreement with ASL AQFlow, Inc. for ASFM flow measurement services, data analysis, and a flow test report. 3.
