I. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Item to be placed on Consent Agenda with the recommendation that the Mayor sign

II. DEPARTMENT CONTACT PERSONS

III. DESCRIPTION
In May 2018, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement(PSA)with
Sensus, the primary manufacturer of the City's water meters to study, quantify,
and mitigate a potential warranty issue with a certain type of meter manufactured
over a specific period. Over the past three years, the City and Sensus worked
collaboratively to monitor and resolve this potential meter issue.
This addendum finalizes the term of the original PSA. Addendum#1 officially
transfers permanent ownership of the meter reading tower equipment (base
station) and MXUs (meter reading transmitters)to the City. These were
purchased and installed at the sole cost of Sensus in 2018. Addendum#1 also
provides the City with a full 20-year warranty for any remaining meters (from the
potentially suspect manufacturing period)that are still installed in the City's
system. Monitoring of these meters over the past three years indicate low failure
rates. However, if these meters fail before their expected lifespan they will be
replaced under a full warranty.
Approved for Council Agenda: Date 6/28/2021
