Come with with & devise

Can I use devise to replace "come up with" for the below sentence in a formal report? Do someone suggest a best word to replace the phrasal verb "come up with"?


For the cooling tower system design, I come up with two options and presented them to the client with the aim of preventing water loss from the system.
