Page 3 of 4 <br />The proposed agreements support a citywide water meter and AMI replacement program <br />intended to improve system reliability, reduce meter failures, support accurate billing, and <br />strengthen long-term performance. Under the proposed agreements, Core & Main LP will work <br />closely with City staff to implement the new system in a manner that aligns with the City’s <br />operational needs. <br /> <br />This program will allow the City to replace its failing metering infrastructure with a modern, <br />integrated platform that improves water-use measurement, customer billing, and access to <br />reliable system data, while reducing manual intervention and ongoing maintenance demands. <br />Timely implementation will help limit operational issues and costs associated with continued <br />failures of the existing system. <br /> <br />Kamstrup water meters use ultrasonic technology to measure water flow by sending ultrasonic <br />sound waves through the water and calculating the time it takes for the waves to pass through. <br />This technology provides a high level of accuracy, and because the meters have no moving <br />internal parts, they typically have a longer service life and require less maintenance. The <br />meters include advanced data-logging capabilities that can help utilities track consumption <br />patterns, detect leaks, and optimize system operations. These meters include a 15-year full <br />warranty, prorated through the expected 20-year lifespan. <br /> <br />EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY <br />Reliable water metering infrastructure supports equitable delivery of utility services citywide by <br />improving billing accuracy and reducing service inefficiencies. Replacement of failing meters <br />will help reduce water loss, improve system efficiency, and support more sustainable water <br />system operations. <br /> <br />OUTREACH <br />The RFP was publicly advertised on the City’s website, through BidNet Direct, and in the <br />Valley Times. <br />Staff also reached out to the Zone 7 Water Agency on multiple occasions regarding the project <br />and potential coordination opportunities. <br /> <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this action advances the citywide ONE Pleasanton Strategic Plan Goal of Investing <br />in Our Environment, including: <br />• Strategy 1 – Implement the five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to complete <br />the design and construction of budgeted projects; and <br />• Strategy 4 – Complete the Water System Master Plan to reflect current and future <br />operations and identify system improvements and necessary maintenance. <br /> <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funding for the Water Meter and AMI Replacement Project is programmed in the upcoming <br />Capital Improvement Program under Water Meter and AMI System Replacement, CIP No. <br />26137, in the amount of $10,930,000. <br /> <br />The proposed AMI CPX agreement with Core & Main LP is in an amount not to exceed <br />Page 194 of 443
