the Environment for a second time on May 25th, and the Committee has made a <br /> recommendation to City Council for approval of this project. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> The City has already entered into an agreement with Aclara for the Aclara owned and <br /> hosted portion of the AMI system (Data Collection Units {DCUs} and the cloud based <br /> Network Control Computer {NCC}) and has successfully completed the Customer Portal <br /> RFP selection process which yielded the SUS (Smart Utility Systems) technology. This <br /> action covers the remainder of the AMI project which includes the procurement and <br /> installation of up to 22,000 new 20-year non-mechanical water meters equipped with <br /> Aclara Meter Transmitting Units (MTUs), and new composite meter pit lids for improved <br /> radio wave transmission. <br /> All of the AMI project components included in this action (Attachment 2, Statement of <br /> Work including materials, installation and warranties schedules) have been thoroughly <br /> vetted and price-verified by the City's Utility staff. Staff has investigated and requested <br /> pricing quotes from all the mainstream manufacturers and installers of the preferred <br /> metering technologies and the meter lids, but could not come close to competing with the <br /> prices provided through the Delta Engineering contract due to their significant bulk <br /> purchasing power. <br /> Delta Engineering Sales, LLC (Delta Engineering) is the exclusive Product Distributor for <br /> Aclara in their California territory (Attachment 1, Product Distribution Agreement <br /> verification). Delta Engineering has been working with City of Pleasanton staff since 2011 <br /> in pursuit of defining the best serving solution for Pleasanton's application. Field trials, <br /> including formal pilot deployments, have substantiated the performance of all <br /> technologies and products selected. All incorporated technologies, and all project <br /> partners, are Aclara certified leaders within the water industry, including Delta's <br /> installation team who is the exclusive holder of access rights to Aclara's cloud-based <br /> Network Control Computer (NCC) which is required for the proper initialization of the <br /> components to the hosted system as the metering technology is installed. <br /> Cost for design, procurement and installation of the AMI Metering System <br /> Meter Transmission Units (MTUs) S2,284,232 <br /> Meters $2,500,119 <br /> Meter Pit Lids $ 539,763 <br /> Installation $1,351,877 <br /> Sales Tax $ 505,791 <br /> Total S7,181,782 <br /> Page 3 of 4 <br />
