The study focused on alternatives that would convert the existing manual meter reading process to AMI technology. Among the alternatives considered was a stand -alone AMI system serving only the City of Yakima and two other alternatives that including partnering with neighboring water utilities The City decided to move forward with a stand -alone AMI system. At the time the study was completed, the City had approximately 19,000 water customers and intended to retain approximately 5,300 of its existing water meters that are relatively new and replace approximately 13,700 of its meters with new positive displacement meter with an encoded register. The new AMI system would include new metertransmitting units (MTUs) for all water meters and an advanced metering infrastructure that includes data collecting units (DCUs) and new software that would be installed on City computers for transferring the data to the City's water billing system and provide water usage data and trends to the City This scope of work assumes that the City will develop a stand -alone AMI system serving the City of Yakima only. The AMI system provider will design the entire system and be responsible for furnishing and installing a complete working AMI system that includes new meters and registers where desired, new meter transmitting units on all meters, data collection equipment, and utility billing software modifications as well as associated training, commissioning, and startup services. The AMI system vendor will be responsible for performing any communications technology studies, including radio propagation studies, necessary to design and furnish a working AMI system that covers the City's entire water service area The AMI system would be procured under the authority of RCW 39.04.270, which allows acquisition of electronic data processing and telecommunications systems through negotiated procurement. The City anticipates having the installation work begin in October, 2012 and have the installation completed by October 31, 2014 Page 13 Scope Gray & Osborne would provide the following engineering services 1.

The feasibility study results indicate: a joint meter reading project would not provide any benefits; a procurement process where infrastructure purchases might be shared should be pursued; an request for proposals (RFP) for a negotiated purchase under RCW 39.04.270 would provide the most benefit. The attached contract with Gray and Osborne Inc. is to assist the Water /Irrigation division in preparing a RFP, to assist in evaluating the proposals and to assist in managing the installation of the automated meter reading system. The Automated meter reading system is being funded through water rates and charges, a $5,000,000 Public Works Trust Fund Loan at 0.5% interest and from the wastewater utility.
