Analysis
On July 14, 2015 City Council awarded a contract to Itron, Inc. for the provision of a fully functioning Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) System. The conversion to the new system was to take place over a 5 year period as additional funding is approved by City Council. As part of the FY16 budget process additional funds were approved for this project in the amount of $1.25 million.
Additionally staff would also like to utilize meter replacement funding which is included in the annual operating budgets which will allow for broken meters in the system to be replaced with the AMI technology.
Staff requests approval to amend the contract with Itron, Inc. for the Automated Metering Infrastructure system in the amount of $1.25 million for year 2 funding of the project and $400,000 for replacement meters as needed.
