RECOMMENDED ACTION
Renew the contract with Badger Meter, Inc. for the purchase of cold water meters and
miscellaneous supplies for a one-year period in an amount not to exceed $300,000.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency Water Resources regularly performs installation, maintenance, and
replacement of residential and commercial water meters. The three types of meters used by the
City are positive displacement, multi-jet and turbine meters. Positive displacement meters are
used primarily for residential applications. Multi-jet meters are used for multi-family residents,
irrigation and commercial applications. Turbine meters are used for high volume water users,
including industrials, commercial, irrigation and large multi-family residential applications.
There are approximately 45,000 metered service locations in the City. Typically, a water meter is
replaced every 15 years. 2,300 meters were replaced during the previous contract period. The
Water Resource crews are expected to replace between 2,500 to 3,000 water meters during the
upcoming contract period. The meters are purchased through the Central Stores warehouse for
distribution to the Public Works Agency as needed.
On March 2, 2009 the City awarded Badger Meter, Inc. a contract for positive displacement meters
and on August 3, 2009 additionally warded to Badger Meters, Inc. a contract for multi jet and
turbine cold water meters for a one-year period with four one-year renewal options. The vendor
has performed satisfactorily during the past contract period and has agreed to renew the contract
without an increasing in pricing. Staff recommends the third renewal of the contract.
