DESCRIPTION

The City seeks a qualified vendor to evaluate, recommend, furnish, install, integrate, configure, test, commission, and support a complete turnkey Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system. The project includes replacing approximately 3,500 existing water meters with smart metering technology and implementing an AMI communications network.

The selected vendor will integrate the AMI system with the City's existing Tyler InCode 10 Customer Information System and utility billing platform using direct integration, application programming interfaces, secure file transfer, import/export processes, or another recommended approach. The solution must also include city and customer web portals, staff training, warranty services, and all other work required to deliver a fully operational AMI solution.

The customer portal should provide access to water consumption information, historical usage trends, leak notifications, billing-related information, and other utility communications. The system is intended to improve the accuracy, reliability, efficiency, and overall management of utility billing processes and customer consumption records. Questions are due by September 4, 2026, and a pre-bid meeting is scheduled for August 26, 2026.
