Home My WebLink AboutTIS 2024-07-22 Item 2B - Agreement - Large Meter Water Replacement with FergusonTO: FROM: Thomas McLeod, Mayor Public Works Department - Pete Mayer, Interim Director INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM Transportation and Infrastructure Services Committee Pete Mayer, Interim Public Works Director BY: Adib Altallal, Utilities Engineer CC: Mayor Thomas McLeod DATE: July 19, 2024 SUBJECT: Large Meter Water Replacement - Purchase Project No. 92340101 Purchase Agreement ISSUE Approve the purchase agreement of eleven Sensus Large Water Meters from Ferguson. BACKGROUND Water meters provide the City accurate information about usage and potential leaks. Each water meter has a useful life of 10 to 15 years. As meters reach the end of their useful life, tracking of water usage and leakage becomes less accurate. The City might be missing out on a large revenue or even in rare cases overcharging customers. As technology advances, replacing old meters becomes even more essential. DISCUSSION The City uses Sensus water meters due to their reliability and availability. The City entered into a sole - source agreement with Ferguson as they are the only supplier of Sensus meters in the region. With smaller water meters, such 1", City crew performs that work routinely. The City is looking to replace two 8" meters, seven 6" meters, and two 4" meters at large businesses throughout the City. Since it is a like -for -like replacement, the City crew will attempt to perform the work in-house to save a large sum of money. The requested amount of $123,531.27 is strictly for the purchasing of those water meters; no labor is included in that cost. FINANCIAL IMPACT The purchase agreement is for $123,531.27. The project costs are within budget and are 100% funded by the water enterprise fund. Ferguson Meters Cost Cost Estimate $123,531.27 2023-2024 Budget $200,000.00 RECOMMENDATION Council is being asked to approve the purchase agreement with Ferguson in the amount of $123,531.27 for the purchase of two 8" meters, seven 6" meters, and two 4" meters as part of the Large Meter Water Replacement Project and consider this item on the Consent Agenda at the August 5, 2024, Regular Council Meeting.

IMPACT: COMMENT: 2023 to 2028 Large Meter Water Replacement Upgrade and replace the City's existing large water meters.
