FILE NUMBER
Renew-the contract with Badger Meter, Inc., for positive displacement cold
water meters for a one-year period in the annual amount not to exceed
$70,000.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency regularly performs installation, maintenance, and
replacement of residential and commercial water meters. The meters are
purchased through the Central Stores warehouse for distribution to the
Public Works Agency as needed. Typically, a water meter is replaced every
15 years. The contract for water meters is designed to provide quality
products at significant savings based on quantity pricing.
On March 1, 2004, the City Council awarded contracts for cold water meters
to Badger Meter, Inc., and HD Supply Waterworks, formerly Hughes Supply,
Inc., for a two-year period with provision for three, one-year renewals.
The vendors have performed satisfactorily during the past contract period.
Badger Meter, Inc., has agreed to renew the contract without an increase in
pricing. Staff recommends the second renewal of the contract with Badger
Meter. Inc.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Water Utility Water Quality & Measurement
Operating Materials & Supplies account (account no. 64-578-6391).
