The System must support import/export via a <br />USB flash drive. <br />h) The software shall be touchscreen-friendly. <br />i) The software must have an option to wirelessly synchronize meter reading routes and reading <br />data with the host software in real time or on demand. <br />j) Unit must be capable of optimizing the memory storage space by filtering out duplicate <br />readings from the same MIU and keeping only the last reading received. <br />k) Each reading record must contain an MIU ID and a time stamp of the reading. <br />l) The software must have the option to provide found meter processing for new accounts. <br />m) The software must be capable of performing high/low tests on readings. <br />n) The software must provide a progress bar that provides route reading status for individual as <br />well as all routes combined. <br />o) The software must support retrieval and graphing of 90 days of data logging intervals from the <br />MIU. <br />p) The software must contain a test mode used to validate MIU installation. The test mode must <br />provide MIU <br />q) ID, reading, and flag status. <br />r) The software must have an option to geocode meter reading routes by address. <br />s) The software must allow a manual reading to be entered into the account record. <br />t) The software must allow freeform notes to be entered to record conditions in the field that <br />require noting and may require an additional work order created to address at a later date. <br />u) The software must have a GIS mapping option powered by ESRI ArcGIS. <br />v) The software must have advanced filtering to allow the user to view route mapping data by <br />conditions such as flag type/status, audit status, and read status. <br />w) The software must be capable of displaying meter points and read success and unread accounts <br />via GIS mapping interface. The software must be capable of collecting the following information for the host <br />to generate reports; leak detection, tamper detection, and backflow conditions. <br />x) The software must allow for GPS location tracking of the meter reading vehicle. <br />y) The software must allow for GPS breadcrumb tracking of the meter reading vehicle during the <br />route reading process. <br />z) The City requires a turn-key system compatible with the Caselle Clarity billing software. <br /> <br />7) Installation. <br />a) Vendor will be responsible for coordinating meter replacement with owners and tenants. <br />b) All installation technicians must be clearly identifiable with name badges and professional in <br />appearance. <br />c) Installation crews shall be experienced, trained, and technically competent. <br />d) Employees shall pass a criminal background check approved by the City and sign a waiver <br />release prior to entering customer properties. <br /> Submit a list of employees authorized by the contractor to enter and install water meters / <br />endpoints. <br /> Criminal background checks shall be completed for employees by an agency approved by <br />the City.
