Board approves $130,935 purchase of 400 Allegro 4G water meters
Loading...
Summary
The Board of Public Utilities approved awarding Hydropro Solutions $130,935.34 to supply 400 full‑body 1‑inch Allegro 4G water meters to replace older failing meters; the purchase includes tax and shipping and is part of a phased meter‑replacement strategy.
The Board of Public Utilities voted to award Hydropro Solutions a contract for 400 1‑inch Allegro 4G master water meters for $130,935.34, including tax and shipping. Andrew Betancourt presented the request and said the city is replacing older, failing meters installed around 2000 and 2008.
The purchase covers full‑body meters (metal body plus register), Betancourt said, noting these are more expensive than replacing registers alone. He told the board that a subsequent packet will include a request for register‑only replacements where appropriate. Board members asked whether the meters would function without an additional approval; Betancourt confirmed they include the registers and will operate independently.
A motion to approve item 6.1 was made by Andrew Betancourt and seconded; recorded affirmation and assent were heard and the motion passed. The board did not record a roll‑call tally in the transcript; multiple members voiced “Aye” during the vote.
Next steps: staff will finalize the purchase with Hydropro Solutions and schedule any further register‑only procurements in a future meeting packet.
