| TO: | City of New Port Richey City Council | | FROM: | Robert M Rivera – Public Works Director | | DATE: | 2/4/2025 | | RE: | Advanced Metering Infrastructure System (AMI) Project Close-Out |
REQUEST:
The request of staff for City Council is to review and consider for approval the attached deductive change order in the amount of $54,240 from Core and Main LLC for the completion of the Advanced Metering Infrastructure System (AMI) Project.
DISCUSSION:
On May 17, 2022 at a regular City Council Meeting, the Public Works Department requested the approval to direct purchase 7,477 new IPERL potable water meters to replace older, outdated water meters within the City’s potable water system. Subsequent to City Council’s approval of the direct purchase, staff requested the approval to “piggyback” off of an existing meter installation agreement between Citrus County and Core and Main LP at Council’s December 22, 2022 regular meeting. In addition to the meter removal and replacements, additional project elements included meter transmitter installations, meter box retro fits and replacements, meter transmitter installations, and programing/diagnostic equipment. Finally, as City Council is aware, the IPERL Sensus meter maintains its accuracy over a 20-year period and contains a 20-year life cycle and 20-year battery life guarantee.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the deductive change order and project close-out are recommended.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds for this project are identified in the City's current Capital Improvement Program in the Water & Sewer Construction Fund (405).
