ITEM:

Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding the purchase of a new Vehicle Gateway Base Station System (VGB) for Public Works Department, Water Division.  (Manuel Rojas, Assistant Public Works Director)

SUMMARY:

Staff recommends the purchase of the VGB meter reading equipment since it will upgrade our current system and will allow us to electronically read the new radio/antennas (MXU 520M).  The Sensus will be discontinuing the current radio/antennas that we are currently using (MXU 520R), and we will transition to the new radio/antennas by December 2017.  Subject purchase, a sole source purchase from Dana Kepner Company, an authorized provider of Sensus metering systems in Arizona.  Under San Luis City Code-Purchasing Section 36.02 where there is only one provider then the purchase may be secured without obtaining other quotes.  The proposal is for $17,929.82.

I MOVE TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF A NEW VEHICLE GATEWAY BASE STATION SYSTEM IN THE AMOUNT OF $17,929.82.
