Is there any particular make for the required water meters? There is no manufacturer requirement if the submitted meters meet all specifications. 2. Is it a one-time purchase or a contractual bid? Please refer to “Method of Award” section in the ITB. 3. Can the City clarify the type of meter technology required? The Bid Submittal form lists “disc” meters, which are positive displacement, while the specifications state “electromagnetic meters only”? This has been updated on the bid submittal form. ¾” and 1” meter bids must be for electromagnetic meters only. 4. Will the City accept positive displacement or ultrasonic meters for the bid? ¾” and 1” meter bids must be for electromagnetic meters only. They may be considered for larger meters if they meet all specifications. 5. If the City requires solid state meters, would the City allow bidders to request an exemption from the touchpad requirements? No. Our customers can still elect to have meters read manually each month. Therefore, meters must be compatible with touchpads. 6. Does the current bid require respondents to include all product lines, or can they submit bids for specific lines only? Specific lines are fine. 7. Will the bid be awarded based on individual line items, meter classification, or the lowest over all bid? Please refer to the “Method of Award” section in the ITB. 8. Please provide the AWWA standard to which you want your meters to adhere. Positive displacement disc meters are C701, Ultrasonic electronic meters are C715? This has been updated. Meters must meet whichever current AWWA standards apply to them based on meter size and type.
