The bulk purchase of meters has proven to be an essential savings in terms of cash outlay. The Trustees last approved a purchase contract with Water Products of ' Oklahoma on March 18, 1997. More than one year has passed since the previous contract was awarded; therefore, the contract was bid to keep prices current. Over the last few years, the City of Owasso has standardized the water meter for use in our water system. The city standardized based upon the Neptune Pro -Read water meter manufactured by ' Schlumberger. The meters are capable of being read with a device that can be inserted in the meter lid or passed near ' the meter. The reading can be sent to the operator or, in the future, to a computer reader contained in the scanner. Although the City currently does not have automated reading capabilities and reads each meter by contract, it is planned to acquire additional equipment to enable automatic data collection in the future. Such a meter will allow cost- effective data collection with maximum accuracy. ' The specified equipment is intended to be upgraded as more meters are installed in the system. With the present equipment, a receptacle supplied with the meter can be connected to the meter and bolted to the lid. A hand -held visual reader is applied to the receptacle and a signal containing a digital ' meter reading can be seen. This reading may then be manually entered into the meter reader log book for billing purposes. All actions parallel typical meter readings, with the exception that the meter reader does not have to lift the lid, clean the surface of the glass and take a reading. Due to growth in our system, the water meter bid specifications for the FY 98 -99 meter purchase estimated a need of at least 441 new meters (which will carry through all of FY 98 -99). These meters 1 IF will be installed for all new residential and commercial construction and in locations requiring replacement of existing meters due to malfunctions or zero- consumption. In FY97 -98, work orders were processed for 429 new water meter installations. Replacement of existing meters accounted for approximately 100 additional meters. Delivery of the meters will be in partial orders over the contract period of September 15, 1998 through June 30, 1999. Orders are to be placed in quantities of not less than 10 meters der order. BID EVALUATION: Bid specifications were advertised on August 13 and August 20, 1998 and mailed to five (5) potential vendors. One bid was received on September 2, 1998. The bid was from Water Products of Oklahoma, Inc. (Owasso, Oklahoma) with the unit prices as follows: ndor Water Products Of Oklahoma uanti Description 430 5/8" X 3/4" meters 5 1" meters 3 1 -1/2" meters 3 2" meters Unit Price Total Price $ 89.03 $38,282.90 $147.00 $ 735.00 $274.80 $ 824.40 $372.04 $ 1,116.12 Water Products was the successful bidder on the previous meter contract awards. The unit price for the following has increased slightly since the last contract: 5/8" X 3/4" meters (from $79.33 to $89.03) V meters (from $130.59 to $147.00) and 2" meters (from $345.92 to $372.04 each). FUNDING SOURCE: The FY 98 -99 Public Works Department Water Division Operating Supplies budget (line item 61- 520 -5220) includes sufficient funds to purchase the needed meters. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Trustees award a contract to Water Products of Oklahoma, Inc., Owasso, OK for the purchase of 5/8" X 3/4" water meters at $89.03 each, V water meters at $147.00, and 1 -1/2 water meters at $274.80 each, and 2" meters at $372.04 each.
