The components of the meter <br /> reading system include: the water meter, the radio or Smartpoints which are connected at <br /> the meters, meter reading equipment and associated software, and antenna collectors; <br /> and <br /> WHEREAS, the Sensus water meters are read by a proprietary equipment that <br /> only reads Sensus data. The Sensus software is also proprietary which reads Sensus; and <br /> WHEREAS, installing a different brand would require a full modification of the <br /> entire water meter and meter reading components throughout the water system; and <br /> WHEREAS, Sensus is a Xylem brand and Ferguson Enterprises is the only <br /> authorized distributor in the State of Washington; and <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of <br /> Anacortes, Washington, as follows: <br /> Section 1. The City Council of the City of Anacortes finds that purchasing the <br /> Sensus water meter products for use in the City's water system that meet the <br /> City's current water meter and meter reading requirements and installed <br /> components, clearly limits the City of Anacortes to a single source of supply <br /> from Ferguson Enterprises, justifying the waiver of competitive bidding <br /> requirements. <br /> Section 2. The City Council of the City of Anacortes hereby waives the bidding <br /> requirements for the purchase of Sensus water meter products for use in the <br /> City's water system, and authorizes sole source purchasing from Ferguson <br /> Enterprises. <br /> Section 3. Any actions of the City or its officers prior to the date hereof and <br /> consistent with the terms of this Resolution are ratified and confirmed. <br /> Section 4. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect after its adoption and <br /> approval. <br /> Resolution 3036 Page 1 <br />
