Renew the contract with Aqua-Metric Sales Company for the purchase of multi-jet water meters
for a one-year period in an amount not to exceed $125,000, subject to non-substantive changes
approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Water Resources Division 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 residential,
irrigation and commercial applications. Turbine meters are used for high volume water users,
including industrial, commercial, irrigation, and large multi-family residential applications. There
are approximately 45,000 metered service locations in the City and water meters are typically
replaced every 15 years. The meters are purchased through the Central Stores warehouse for
distribution to the Public Works Agency as needed.
On October 17, 2011 the City awarded a contract to Aqua-Metric Sales Company for a one-year
period with provisions for three, one-year renewals. Staff recommends the second renewal of the
contract. The recommended action will allow replacement of approximately 650 water meters.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Public Works Water System Maintenance and Water Quality &
Measurement accounts (nos. 06017641-63001 and 06017644-63001).
