RE: Waive bids for purchase of 2012 Water Meters&Transmitters
BACKGROUND
On September 13, 2006 the Common Council approved waiving bids for a new Sensus water
meter reading system utilizing wireless technology. This approval also included the annual
purchase of Sensus water meters/transmitters until all equipment is installed system-wide within
the next 2-3 years. Currently the project is approximately 60% complete. Each year the Water
Utility Division and Purchasing reviews prices for the upcoming year's water meter/transmitter
order and submits a recommendation for purchase.
ANALYSIS
Our supplier (HD Supply Waterworks) notes that there will be an estimated 3.5-4% increase in
their 2012 meter and transmitter prices. Attached is HD Supply Waterworks' 2012 costs notice
and the Water Utility Division's 2012 meter and transmitter equipment needs.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of the 2012 meter and transmitter purchases will be $443,045. The equipment
will be purchased monthly out of the Water Utility-Meter Inventory account: 541-1810-1502-
00000. The annual order cost varies each year depending upon equipment inventory and
installation schedule. As a matter of comparison the 2010 order cost was $537,916.80 and the
2011 order cost was $347,486.50.
RECOMMENDATION
The Water Utility Division and Purchasing reviewed the Sensus supplier pricing and recommend
that the Common Council waive bids (pursuant to Section 12-10 D(1) of the Oshkosh Municipal
Code using standardization as the overriding consideration) and authorize the 2012 purchase of
Sensus water meters/transmitters from HD Supply Waterworks, New Berlin, WI 53151 in the
amount$443,045.

Dear Bill,
The following are your prices for 2012. We are very pleased to have held the increase to
approximately 3.5 to 4 % on the 5/8", 3A", 1"meters and 510M transmitters. This seems to
be a very fair increase when you consider that the PPI for this past year was higher.
Omni meters had no increase. Remember that 1 12"and 2" SR meters will soon be
obsolete so I would encourage you to use Omni meters in these sizes
Sensus SRII, OMNI and 510 M
Quantity Description Unit
Any 5/8" SRII Meters $ 71.50
Any %" SRII Meters 71/2" $ 90.50
Any 1" SRII Meters $ 120
Any 11/2"Omni Meters . $ 650
Any 2" Omni Meter $ 775
Any 3" Omni Meter $1075
Any 4" Omni Meter $ 1900
Any 6" Omni Meter $ 3450
Any Model 510M Single Port Transmitter $ 103.25
Any 510 M Dual Port Transmitter $130
The add on for a wired meter is $6.75 ea
As discussed we also have the option of going with the new composite AccuStream
meter. It comes in 5/8, 3/4 and 1"sizes and the chambers are the same as the SRII meter.
The registers are removable like the new SRII Opti register and flow rates are the same as
the SRII. The following are the prices for the AccuStream
5/8" $ 65 ea
3/ short 7 Y2"long $ 79 ea
