Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Agreement with HydroPro Solutions, Inc. for the purchase of water utility meters and monitoring systems.
Body
The City of Round Rock requires the immediate replacement of approximately 1,200 existing water meters that are currently non-functional (blank screens) and are having to be manually read each month by City staff. To address this critical infrastructure issue and ensure accurate billing and water management, the City intends to purchase 1,200 Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) water meters from HydroPro Solution, Inc.
The City will also utilize four staff members from HydroPro Solutions to assist City crews in the change out and installation of the new AMI water meters. This action is necessary to restore proper functionality to the water utility system and expeditious reading of the meters. The acquisition of meters and dedicated support staff from HydroPro Solutions will expedite the replacement process, leading to improved operational efficiency and accurate utility revenue collection.
