Columbus council approves AMI water meter award, service contract not to exceed $500,000
Summary
The Columbus City Council approved a Notice of Award to Noddings Waterworks and a professional services agreement for automated metering infrastructure (AMI) water meters, authorizing work not to exceed $500,000 and enabling residents to monitor usage online.
The Columbus City Council voted March 16 to award the city’s AMI (automated metering infrastructure) water meter contract to Noddings Waterworks and to approve a professional services agreement for the meters with a not-to-exceed cap of $500,000. The motion to approve the notice of award was made by Tim Mayo and seconded by Rick White; the roll-call vote recorded all yea votes and the motion passed.
Public Works Director Peyton Brookshire told the council the new meters will allow residents to sign up to monitor their water usage remotely, providing more timely data for consumption tracking and leak detection. The council’s approval included both the formal Notice of Award to Noddings Waterworks, Inc., and the accompanying services agreement authorizing procurement and installation work.
The agreement language in the minutes limits the city’s financial commitment to $500,000. No detailed implementation schedule or financing breakdown appears in the minutes; funding sources were not specified. The council did not record any dissenting votes or conditions attached to final payment in the meeting minutes.
The council took the vote after routine business and other new-business items; next steps in the minutes indicate contract execution and implementation are administrative actions to follow.
