AGENDA CAPTION:

Consider action on the purchase of water meters from Thirkettle Corporation (d/b/a Aqua-Metric Sales Company, Inc.) through HGACBuy and authorize the City Manager to execute the Purchase Order in an amount not to exceed $165,000.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this item is to purchase water Sensus branded meters from Aqua-Metric through HGACBuy in an amount not to exceed $165,000.

Sensus meters are the Town's standard because they ensure ease of maintenance and compatibility with the existing meter reading systems. The Town selected Sensus Metering Systems through a procurement process for handheld meter reading equipment and software in February 2009.

Annually, the Public Works and Engineering Services Department purchases water meters of various sizes to replace aging and nonworking meters throughout the Town.

These items will be purchased through HGACBuy, a nationwide government procurement service that meets the State's procurement requirements. This purchase is budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2024 Utility Fund budget.

RECOMMENDATION:

Administration recommends approval.
