SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL <br />2 <br /> <br />and policies adopted by MTC-ABAG as part of the overall program structure <br />(e.g., 50% of OBAG 3 funding was dedicated to regional programs and <br />transportation investments and 50% to local and county proposed projects). <br />Using the OBAG 3 program for reference, project sponsorship by AC Transit <br />or Alameda CTC resulted in most projects receiving the amount of funding <br />they requested, including corridor, bus and bike lane, trail, and roundabout <br />improvements (i.e., out of proposed projects in Alameda County, totaling <br />about $74.4 million, MTC-ABAG approved $69.7 million of funding). It is noted <br />that Alameda County accounted for just over 20% of the total local and county <br />funding allocation (“nomination targets") in OBAG 3, second only to Santa <br />Clara County. A comprehensive overview of the OBAG 3 program, and all <br />regional, county and local project funding awards is available here <br />https://mtc.ca.gov/sites/default/files/documents/2025-04/RES- <br />4505_approved.pd <br /> <br />Agenda Item #10: Approve a professional services agreement with Diameter Services, <br />Inc. <br />2. Is it correct that this agreement is for a consultant to help us go through the RFP <br />process for new meters? There is a small section related to proof of concept; in <br />light of the current experiences we’re having, will they help us get meters that are <br />1) Zone 7 compliant, 2) AMI compatible with our existing system, and 3) reliable <br />and with warranty? <br /> <br />A. This contract is for a specialized and experienced consultant to guide the City <br />through vendor selection, contract safeguards, and implementation for the <br />new meter program. The contract focuses on validation before purchase and <br />strict vendor accountability. <br /> <br />1. Zone 7 Compliance <br />The consultant will support city staff in coordination and communication <br />efforts with Zone 7 during the process including a new water meter <br />connection fees. A communication plan and stakeholder engagement plan will <br />be established to include and involve Zone 7 in the water meter selection, <br />implementation and integration process. <br /> <br />2. AMI Compatibility & Integration <br />The RFP will require seamless integration with the City’s existing AMI and <br />financial systems (Tyler Munis). During Phase III (Proof of Concept), the <br />consultant will test and validate compatibility and ability to meet all <br />performance criteria before citywide rollout. The IT department will be <br />overseeing and verifying complete and seamless integration of the new <br />system. <br /> <br />3. Reliability & Warranty Protections
