RFP-2 – Scope of Work RFP# PWD 25.604 City of Pleasanton, CA RFP-2 | Page 15 Internal Use Only 2.2.6.Radio Transmitter Mounting options Nearly all the City’s meter box lids are RF-friendly Armorcast polymer concrete lids. Please see Appendix A of this Scope of Work for meter box lid specifications. The City’s preference is to maintain its existing meter box lids and not change them as part of this project. The Contractor should plan to mount Radio transmitters below the existing meter box lids. If this is not possible for RF propagation or incompatible mounting reasons, the Contractor should propose the appropriate lid replacements or modifications to best suit the proposed AMI solution and meet the RSR requirements established herein. All lid replacements or modifications must be included in WB-C Financial Workbook. The City will accept AMI solutions where the radio transmitter is mounted integrally to the meter register provided it meets the RSR established herein. The Contractor’s radio transmitter mounting solution shall conform to the following: No locking mechanism is allowed, the weight of the lid shall be sufficient to keep the lid in place Any "through-the-lid" antenna shall be installed to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Accessibility Standards, Section 303 for vertical changes in level. Changes in level of 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) high maximum shall be permitted to be vertical. Changes in level between 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) high minimum and 1/2 inch (13 mm) high maximum shall be beveled with a slope not steeper than 1:2. The submittal document for the proposed lid model(s) should include the coefficient of friction value, confirmation of AASHTO H20 vertical loading, and the anti-slip rating. The Radio Transmitter shall be secured to the lid to avoid damage to the device when removing the lid If drilling an existing lid is proposed, the Contractor shall provide an engineering stamped confirmation that the integrity of the lid will not be impacted. All AMI Radio Transmitter mounting equipment shall be provided by the Contractor 2.2.7.Radio Transmitter Labelling The Contractor shall ensure radio transmitters include a weatherproof label on the side of the device that includes the name of the manufacturer, model, version, firmware references, the date of manufacture, the part number, appropriate FCC certifications, and a unique Identification (ID) number that is both numeric and barcoded (Code 39 or approved equivalent) that allows the ID number to be read by a digital work order system. The label shall be able to remain attached to and readable in a submerged environment. Where there is an outside cover, the Contractor shall ensure this information is included on the outside cover and inside device itself. 2.2.8.Wire and Connectors The Contractor shall ensure radio transmitters have 22-gauge 3-conductor solid wire potted lead with a wire connector device installed at the time of manufacture. Between the AMI Radio Transmitters and the water meter register there should be a minimum of 5 feet of wire to allow for the meter box lid to be removed. The Contractor shall supply a wiring connector device that is a certified IP68 connection, tamper proof and can be connected and disconnected without having to cut the wire or break the connector device. There shall be no manual connections (e.g. gel caps) and there must be consistency among connectors across all meter brands. Wiring connectors must be fully compatible with the Nicor Series III connectors present on existing Elster EvoQ4, Kamstrup FlowIQ, and Sensus OMNI meters that will remain in the field as identified in 2.2.4, above.
