The three types of meters used by the <br /> City are positive displacement, multi-jet and turbine meters. Positive displacement meters are <br /> used primarily for residential applications. Multi-jet meters are used for multi-family residents, <br /> irrigation and commercial applications. Turbine meters are used for high volume water users, <br /> including industrials, commercial, irrigation and large multi-family residential applications. <br /> <br /> There are approximately 45,000 metered service locations in the City. Typically, a water meter is <br /> replaced every 15 years. 2,300 meters were replaced during the previous contract period. The <br /> Water Resource crews are expected to replace between 2,500 to 3,000 water meters during the <br /> upcoming contract period. The meters are purchased through the Central Stores warehouse for <br /> distribution to the Public Works Agency as needed. <br /> On March 2, 2009 the City awarded Badger Meter, Inc. a contract for positive displacement meters <br /> and on August 3, 2009 additionally warded to Badger Meters, Inc. a contract for multi jet and <br /> turbine cold water meters for a one-year period with four one-year renewal options. The vendor <br /> has performed satisfactorily during the past contract period and has agreed to renew the contract <br /> without an increasing in pricing. Staff recommends the third renewal of the contract. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 22B-1 <br />
