SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Summary Recommendation
Authorize the sole source purchase of Badger Water Meters, encoders, and endpoints to replace existing water meters at an expenditure of $1,596,126.78 to Badger Meter, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. (Utilities SS-26-005) (Jeremy McCall/Robin Wilson)
end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
This item supports the City Council’s strategic outcome of Safe and Prosperous by ensuring real time customer engagements and notifications. The proposed system will provide leak notifications, track water usage, and eliminate the need for City staff drive time to read data.
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 $252.65 plus tax.
