Sole Source: Badger Meters and Automated Meter Infrastructure
end
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION:
Summary Recommendation
Authorize a sole source purchase of Badger Water Meters, encoders, and endpoints to replace existing water meters at an expenditure of $618,099.62 to: Badger Meter, Milwaukee, WI (SS-24-127) (Jeremy McCall/Robin R. Wilson)
end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
This supports the City Council’s strategic outcomes of Safe and Prosperous by ensuring the reliability and quality of the City’s water distribution system and Connected and Engaged allowing active real-time engagement with City water services.
REPORT:
The Utilities Department standardized the use of water meters manufactured by Badger Meter, Inc. over 20 years ago. In 2006 the Utilities Department began implementing an Automated Meter Reading (AMR) metering system. The water meters and AMR endpoints are now reaching their end-of-life cycle. In response to the end-of-life water meters and AMR technology, beginning in 2023, the Utilities Department transitioned to an Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) metering system.
The AMI system provides real-time readings of water use and allows Yuma customers to interface with their water account via a cellular phone application. In addition to the customers’ ability to interact with their accounts real-time, the City will be able to access meter usage data and generate a monthly water bill without having to utilize Meter Readers in the field. The water meters, encoders, and endpoints will be utilized for replacement of existing units that have reached the end-of-life cycle and for new service installations. The total cost of each replacement including the meter is $247.24.
