The City meters all of the connections in the water distribution system. Meters range in size <br />from 5/8” x 3/4” to 4”. All meters met AWWA new meter accuracy standards when installed. All constraints/ <br />limitations associated thereto will be the responsibility of the selected company to manage in order to deliver a <br />“turnkey” project within the awarded schedule of prices, as well as within the approved timeframe. <br /> <br />C. System Requirements. The following system components are desired by the City and should be <br />considered minimum system components. If the proposal does not meet all of the listed desired components, <br />an exclusion statement must explicitly be included in the proposal. Failure to exclude any of the requirements <br />will be considered an affirmative response to the requirements being included in the proposal price. <br /> <br />1) The proposals must include: <br />a) Pricing for data collection hardware and software; <br />b) Pricing for meters in standard sizes ranging from 3/4” to 4”; <br />c) Pricing for turn-key installation for all meters, including any new lids or boxes that may be <br />required to ensure compatibility; <br />d) Installation and training costs for data collection hardware and software; <br />e) Estimated life span of the meters and warranty information. <br /> <br />2) The proposals should provide consideration and discussion of an installation schedule <br />and concept plan to include: <br />a) Phasing of meter installation based on meter size and age; <br />b) Explanation of how the new system will allow reading of existing system during the <br />transition period; <br />c) Methods for dealing with any other concerns that you may be aware of which were <br />unforeseen or unmentioned in this document. <br />d) An itemized price showing the breakdown of costs for specific items included in the <br />SCOPE OF WORK. All pricing for the components must be fixed for the period of the project and <br />thereafter pricing will be based on the Producer Price Index (PPI) <br /> <br />3). Meters and Registers. All meters shall be potable cold water meters conforming to the following <br />specifications: <br />a) General. All cold water meters furnished shall be produced from an ISO 9001C manufacturing <br />facility and shall meet or exceed the accuracy requirements specified in the “Standard Specifications for Cold <br />Water Meters” C715 latest revision issued by AWWA. <br />b) Lead Free Legislation. The utility requires that all water meters submitted in this proposal be <br />compliant with NSF/ANSI 61, which exceeds the requirements of NSF/ANSI 372 that became effective <br />January 2014. The utility wishes to ensure the safety of its drinking water. The utility wishes to safeguard its <br />investment in metering infrastructure. Meters shall be made of “lead free” alloy as defined by NSF/ANSI 61. <br />c) Type. <br /> For 3/4" x 5/8” up to 2” - Only meters featuring solid state meter technology will be <br />accepted because of enhanced low-flow accuracy performance and extended accuracy over meter life. <br /> <br /> Large Meters (2-inch and larger). Solid state meters are preferred however compound <br />Meters will be considered. Large meters will meet AWWA C702, latest version, with flanged fittings with <br />flanges meeting ANSI requirements as applicable, and cast-iron or lead-free bronze bodies. <br />d) Size, Capacity, Length. The meter’s size, capacity, and length shall be as specified in AWWA <br />Standard C715 (latest revision). <br />e) Main Case. The meter main case meet the lead-free provision of the safe drinking water act. <br />The serial number should be displayed in a permanent location on the register. Meter markings shall indicate <br />size, model, direction of flow, and NSF 61 certification. All main cases shall be guaranteed free from <br />manufacturing defects in workmanship and material for the life of the meter. All main case screws or bolts <br />shall be of 300 series non-magnetic stainless steel to prevent corrosion.
