Meeting Date:	12/12/2018
16" Main Flow Meter Purchase and Install
Submitted for:	Adrian Montemayor	Submitted By:	Adrian Montemayor
Department:	Water Utilities

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize the Purchasing Agent to secure competitive bids for the purchase and installation of a Flexim Ultrasonic Flow Meter with mounting, powering, and electrical installation in an amount not to exceed $5,900.00. [Funding is available under the 2016 Bond Series, #7220-7280-001-474501]

Issue: We identified a persistent imbalance in the amounts of water produced versus the amounts of water sold. We identified the reason being that during the past installation of a newer water main from the plant to the North of our service area did not include a flow meter. This irregularity does not affect our compliance history but does make our records inconsistent.

Solution: The solution is to install a new flow meter that can be integrated along with our existing service to provide accurate water production results.

Result: Hire a contractor to install an appropriate flow meter.
