Summary
The committee approved staff’s recommendation to award a contract to relocate advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) equipment from the Community Circle tank to a more central location, recommending an award to Kendall Supply for $99,500 plus a $25,500 allowance for unforeseen work. The item will go to a special-called meeting for final approval.
The Roswell Mayor and Council committee voted June 24 to advance a contract award for relocating advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) equipment to a special-called meeting for final consideration.
What staff recommended: Brian Watson, director of Environmental Public Works, said a recently completed propagation study identified a more central location for AMI radio equipment formerly attached to the Community Circle tank and recommended awarding a contract to Kendall Supply Inc. for $99,500 with an added $25,500 for unforeseen circumstances.
Action and timing: Councilmember Alan Sells moved and Councilmember David Johnson seconded that the item be forwarded to the special-called meeting; the committee approved the recommendation unanimously.
Context and limits: Watson said the propagation study has concluded since the agenda was published and that staff recommended the relocation and associated contingencies to ensure AMI radio propagation and utility metering performance.
Next steps: Staff will place the award on the special-called meeting agenda for final authorization and manage relocation work and any service impacts through the utility’s operations schedule.
