ITEM 6: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO A REQUEST
TO AWARD A CONTRACT FOR THE PURCHASE OF WATER METERS.
Mr Roberts said that the OPWA purchases water meters annually through the bidding process.
The bulk purchase of water meters provides a cash savings. Since 1992, staff began installing a
standard meter that will allow for automated meter reading. A meter replacement program was
begun in FY01-02 to change our all non-standard meters. This program will continue until all
non-standard meters have been replaced. Bid specifications for FY02-03 provide for 400 meters
for new installations and 1490 meters for replacement of non-standard meters. One bid was
received and, if it is awarded, delivery of the meters will be in partial orders over the contract
period, which runs through June 30, 2003. Ms Kimball moved, seconded by Mr Helm, to award
a contract to Water Products of Oklahoma Inc, Owasso, OK for a time period through June 30,
2003 for the purchase of water meters consistent with bid specifications, at a cost of $93.00 per
5/8" x 1/4" meter, $170.00 per 1" meter, $329.00 per I1/2" meter, and $449.00 per 2" meter.
