Report
Summary
The purpose of this agreement is to provide the Water Services Department with Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) devices. The equipment includes mobile laptops, handheld reading devices, encoder receiver transmitters, associated components and software. The agreement also includes software support and hardware maintenance.
This amendment is necessary to allow the Water Meters Division the ability to replace approximately 90 percent of the AMR devices currently in use due to WSD's migration to Itron's upgraded meter reading software beginning January 2022. The upgrade will render existing devices obsolete due to compatibility issues.
This item has been reviewed and approved by the Information Technology Services Department.
Contract Term
The agreement’s term will remain unchanged, ending on March 31, 2023.
Financial Impact
The initial agreement for AMR Equipment and Maintenance Support Services Contract was authorized for an expenditure not-to-exceed $7,958,000. This amendment will increase the agreement’s cost by an additional $3,355,402, for a new total not-to-exceed agreement value of $11,313,402.
Funding is available in the Water Services Department's Operating budget.
