SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Bids for a performance contract for an Automated Meter Reading (AMR)/Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and Leak Detection System for the Division of Water Distribution have been received and Johnson Controls, Inc. (JCI) has been selected as the lowest and best bidder. The main objective of this project development contract is to develop a performance contract to modify the city’s existing domestic water meter system to include the replacements of selected water meters, the implementation of Automated Meter Reading (AMR)/Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), leak detection, and the interface to the existing Department of Public Utilities billing system. The project development will result in a detailed evaluation of a representative sample of the city’s utility meters and meter data acquisition system (collectively “the system”) to determine the efficiency of the system and to identify improvements and operational efficiency measures, procedures and other services provided by JCI in order to improve the system’s infrastructure, reduce operating costs, and provide real-time utility consumption and cost data. The results of this project development contract will be used as a guide for future implementation of the projects and water service expansions. This is necessary to maintain safe, reliable service.
