Explanation
The Purchasing Office has established Universal Term Contract FL001326, for water meters and appurtenances, with Hersey Meters/Div. of Mueller Co. The Division of Water has already legislated $130,000.00 from the operating budget against this UTC, however, we need $330,000.00 from the Capital Improvements Budget for meters needed in the Domestic Meter-Change-Out Program. We will be changing out 3" and 4" meters to turbine style meters. The Contract Compliance Number for Hersey Meters/Div. of Mueller Co. is 37-1388051. They do not have MBE/FBE status.
It is requested that this Ordinance be handled in an emergency manner, as changing out these meters will be a time-consuming process. We would like to start as soon as possible in order to reap the financial benefits the new turbine style meters will allow.
FISCAL IMPACT: Monies are being transferred to fund this project and the 2002 C.I.B. is being amended to provide the necessary authority.
