Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Purchasing Office has established Universal Term Contract FL001840, for water meters and appurtenances, with Badger Meters, to expire December 31, 2004. Purchase Orders of $360,000.00 have already been encumbered with Badger Meters. Due to the meter change-out program being more successful than anticipated, we have found a high number of older remote readers that have been failing. Remote readers are the hardware attached to the outside of a property in which our meter readers scan in order to bill our customers. Therefore, the Division of Water would like to establish an additional Blanket Purchase Order, with Badger Meters, to purchase additional remote readers. Badger Meters does not have certified MBE/FBE status. Their Contract Compliance number is 39-0143280.

The Division of Water is in need of transferring $90,000.00 in funds from Object Level One 06 to Object Level One 02 to provide funding for this project and other needs within the Division of Water.

FISCAL IMPACT: The Division of Water only has $31,083.00 left for these kind of water meter appurtenances, but has re-prioritized Object Level One "06" monies in order to purchase these remote readers and funds are being transferred to provide funding for this project and other needs within the Division of Water.

$ 1,229,800.00 was expended for water meters & appurtenances during 2003.
$ 1,120,347.00 was expended for water meters & appurtenances during 2002.



Title

To authorize and direct the City Auditor to transfer $90,000.00 within the Water Systems Operating Fund, Division of Water, from Object Level One 06 to Object Level One 02, to authorize the Finance Director to establish an additional Blanket Purchase Order, to purchase remote readers, from an established Universal Term Contract with Badger Meters, for the Division of Water, and to authorize the expenditure of $65,382.00 from Water Systems Operating Fund.
