Officials weigh options after multiple meter demonstrations; no procurement decision made
Summary
Members and staff discussed competing meter suppliers and agreed to review additional demonstrations rather than select a vendor immediately. Staff cautioned demo quotes differ from formal bid prices and recommended a deliberate procurement approach.
Members and staff discussed the selection of new meters, noting that multiple suppliers have demonstrated equipment and each supplier offers different features. A staff member said the group had seen three top suppliers and recommended a follow-up review: "We've seen all of them. Now maybe come back in, and let's talk real serious about where you're at."
The staff member warned that demonstration quotes can differ from formal bid pricing and urged caution: "The bid price is gonna be a little different than what they quote you sitting here at the table." Another staff comment captured the procurement balance: "I think we need to slow we we need to hurry up and slow down." No formal procurement vote or contract award for meters was recorded in the transcript; members agreed to continue evaluating suppliers.
