INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Transportation and Infrastructure Services Committee
FROM: 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.

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.
