Question Cut-Off Date: 09/15/2026

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that requests for proposals will be received by the Purchasing Agent of the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts for AI AND MACHINE LEARNING TOOLS FOR SEWER COLLECTION

SYSTEM ANALYSIS

DESCRIPTION: The Districts are seeking to expand the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) to improve the operation and maintenance of their wastewater collection system.

Since 2023, the Districts have used AI/ML tools with flow-monitoring data to support blockage detection and alerting, and to analyze inflow and infiltration (I&I). During the pilot phase, up to 1,000 flow monitoring sites were used to develop and tune the existing AI/ML algorithms. Going forward, the Districts

anticipate maintaining approximately 300 flow-monitoring locations for ongoing data analytics.

Building on the experience gained through the pilot, the Districts are now seeking to evaluate available AI/ML tools and determine how these technologies can be applied more broadly and effectively to collection system operations.

A non-mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled for:

Thursday, August 27, 2026, at 9:00 a.m.
