ITEM #9 <br />CITY OF COLTON <br />AGENDA REPORT <br />FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 7, 2007 <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Jeannette Olko, Electric Utility General Manager <br />SUBJECT: Waive Formal Bidding Requirement Per Municipal Code 3.08.140(b)(e), and <br />Approve Sole -Source Purchase of Itron Meters for the Electric Utility to <br />Itron, C/O McAvoy & Markham Engineering and Sales Company, Inc., in <br />the Estimated Amount of $189,074.31 <br />DATE: Julv 30, 2007 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The Electric Utility uses electronic receiving and transmission (ERT) meters for collecting usage data <br />from utility customers. ERT meters are primarily used on accounts where it is difficult for our personnel <br />to access the meter on the customer's property, but are also being installed as older meters are replaced as <br />part of our standardization program. On June 1, 1999 the City Council approved the standardization of the <br />Itron meter reading system. <br />DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: <br />The City of Colton standardized its meter reading system to Itron in 1999. Currently, the Utility has a <br />requirement for meters to be utilized by residential, commercial and industrial customers. The meters will <br />be used for both new services and also to replace old, malfunctioning meters in the field. <br />Currently, McAvoy & Markham Engineering and Sales Co., Inc. is the only distributor authorized to sell <br />Itron products in Southern California. Staff has estimated the quantity of residential and commercial <br />meters which will be needed for the 07/08 Fiscal Year, and obtained a quotation from this vendor to <br />supply the estimated quantities as follows: <br />Meter Form <br />Description <br />Catalog <br />Estimated <br />Unit Price <br />Extended <br />Number <br />Quantity <br />Price <br />FM2S,CL200 <br />Centron C1SR with single <br />C95-0509 <br />1500 <br />$54.95 <br />$82,425.00 <br />high power ERT <br />FM5S <br />Sentinel SS3S2L with basic <br />C95-2003 <br />11 <br />$460.00 <br />$5,060.00 <br />TOU and 96kb load profile <br />FM9S <br />Sentinel SS4S2L with basic <br />C95-2000 <br />43 <br />$460.00 <br />$19,780.00 <br />TOU and 96kb load profile <br />FM9S <br />Sentinel SS4S1T with basic <br />C95-2005 <br />8 <br />$300.00 <br />$2,400.00 <br />TOU and R300SD3 (3 ERT) <br />FM12S <br />Centron CN1SR with single <br />C95-0507 <br />8 <br />$109.00 <br />$872.00 <br />high power ERT <br />FM12S <br />Sentinel SS IS 1T with basic <br />C95-2006 <br />4 <br />$300.00 <br />$1,200.00 <br />TOU and R300SD3 (3 ERT) <br />FM12S <br />Sentinel SS2S2L with basic <br />C95-2010 <br />12 <br />$460.00 <br />$5,520.00 <br />TOU and 96kb load rofile <br />
