Explanation

That the Finance and Management Director is hereby authorized to associate all General Budget Reservations resulting from this ordinance with the appropriate Universal Term Contract Purchase Agreements for Water Meters and Appurtenances. Legislation is currently in process for these contracts under Ordinance No. 2441-2018.

The Purchase Agreement associations listed require approval by City Council in order for the division to expend more than $100,000.00, per Columbus City Code Section 329.

Purchase Orders will be established to purchase water meters and appurtenances for the Advanced Metering System Implementation Project, CIP No. 690358-100000. The AMS project will allow for centralized reading of the Division of Water’s retail meters via radio transmitters and receivers, which will greatly reduce meter reading costs, allowing for more frequent readings and billings, provide data for analysis of non-revenue water, and greatly enhance our customer service capabilities.

The Department of Public Utilities, Division of Water requests funding of $15,200,000.00 to be distributed between the vendors below:
