Conserve Water
ACTION
Contract extension for Citywide water conservation rebate software. Adopt Resolution No. 13710 
to:
1. Authorize, approve, and direct the Mayor to execute, on behalf of the city. Contract No. 2026- 
114-COS with Aiqueous, LLC to extend the term of Contract No. 21SS036 until June 30, 2027.
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute any other documents and take such other 
actions as are necessary to carry out the intent of this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this action is to award a contract modification for citywide water conservation rebates 
software. The contract modification will be for one (1) year and have a maximum contract term 
amount of $47,370. This one (1) year extension allows for investigation and further consideration of 
developing an in-house application or soliciting a new vendor.
The citywide water conservation rebates software contract modification will support the City's 
water conservation rebate program. The City has provided water conservation rebates since 1992. 
Beginning in 2015, Water Conservation staff have contracted with Aiqueous LLC (dba Brillion), to 
automate the application process. Through the Aiqueous LLC software, WaterWays, photos, 
documents, and required IRS W9s are submitted in a secure format and attached to online rebate 
applications. WaterWays tracks the rebates from application to completion, documenting input 
from staff and customers completing automated rebate calculations.
This one-year extension allows for investigation and further consideration of developing an in- 
house application or procuring a new contract. The Water Conservation team is currently 
using WaterWays, and it is the lowest cost option. Scottsdale's FY26/27 water rebate program 
will launch the month after execution of the contract. Relaunching the rebate program each year is 
part of Scottsdale's Water demand management program offerings. In calendar year 2025, a 
demand reduction of 25.5 million gallons of water occurred through the removal of grass and pools 
or with the installation of water smart technology.

City Council Report | Contract extension for Citywide water conservation rebate software 
ANALYSIS & ASSESSMENT
Recent Staff Action
In November 2025, Brillon provided notice that Waterways had an end-of-life date of July 2, 2026 
and the end of the existing five-year contract. Conservation evaluated options to replace the current 
system including building an in-house application and reviewed three (3) software options. The 
startup costs for the three options coupled with the annual fees were cost prohibitive. The time 
required to configure and launch the new software impacted timely presentation of the rebate 
program.
On April 17, 2026, Scpttsdale was notified that Waterways would be continued at a cost of $47,370 
and no start up fees.
Community Involvement
Staff will continue to advertise the opportunity to the community to participate in the water 
conservation rebate program. As of May 21, 2026, more than 160 customers have signed up to 
receive early notifications about the rebate program launch.
RESOURCE IMPACTS 
Available funding
Funding this contract modification is available in Water Resources operations account 52350.
Staffing, Workload Impact
Existing Water Resources staff are available to provide contract administration, rebate management 
and customer service for the conservation rebate program. Elisa Klein, Water Conservation Program 
Supervisor in the Water Resources Department, is the contract administrator for this contract.
Future Budget Implications
The cost for the contract term will not exceed $47,370 for the one-year term of this contract 
modification.
OPTIONS & STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommended Approach:
Adopt Resolution No. 13710 to:
1. Authorize, approve, and direct the Mayor to execute, on behalf of the city. Contract No. 2026- 
114-CDS with Aiqueous, LLC to extend the term of Contract No. 21SS036 until June 30, 2027.
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute any other documents and take such other 
actions as are necessary to carry out the intent of this Resolution.
