SUMMARY
In April 2016, the City Council authorized execution of contracts to purchase and install an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Project. The AMI Project will replace the City’s aging water meters, eliminate the need for manual meter reading, and provide customers with information to better manage their water use. As of the end of June 2018, approximately 33,400 meters, or close to 98%, of the City’s meters have been replaced. The City’s contract with Delta Engineering Sales, LLC (Delta Engineering) for purchase of water meters and related equipment was based on the quantities and sizes of water meters identified in 2013, which has since changed. Staff is requesting Council approval to increase the contract amount with Delta Engineering by $748,182 to a not to exceed amount of $10,248,182, to purchase additional water meters and related equipment to complete installation of the AMI Project.
