Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Agreement with ACT Pipe and Supply for the purchase of water meter box anti-float lids.
Body
The City has a number of water meter boxes with metal lids in the distribution system. The metal lids are causing difficulty in the transmission of meter data as part of the City's conversion to an automated meter reading fixed network system.
This agreement between the City of Round Rock and ACT Pipe and Supply is for the purchase of various sized plastic anti-float lids which are compatible for remote read meters for us throughout the City's water supply system. The City solicited bids from vendors in November 2014 and ACT Pipe and Supply met the qualifications and submitted the bid with the lowest price for the City. The cost per lid is $52.43, and the City anticipates replacing approximately 1,500 lids this year which equates to $78,645. If additional lids are required to be purchased in the following years, the City will request additional funds for those lids at a later time. The term of this agreement is for three years with the option to extend the contract for two additional 12-month terms.
Cost: $78,645.00
Source of Funds: Utility Fund
