WS-24-1789
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Project Bidding Issues (ACTION) RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Water Subcommittee provide feedback on RWS-Veolia Recommendation and Approaches 1 and 2: 1. RWS-Veolia Recommendation: Award a contract to USG Water for a total amount of $8,730,796.75. 2. RUA Approach 1: Direct RWS-Veolia to prepare a Final Construction Work Authorization (FCWA) with USG and award a contract to USG for a total amount of $7,734,339. 3. RUA Approach 2: RWS-Veolia’s bidding preparation for the AMI project does not appear to have met prudent industry standards. Their approach has made it challenging for direct comparison of all three vendors. After staff discussion with the City/RUA legal counsel, this could pose grant compliance challenges. Provide feedback that staff negotiate a City/RUA-initiated project with Aqua-Metrics who appeared to be the original lowest and responsive bidder. 4. Provide alternative feedback.
