Meter recorc maintained in books with each meter service in the City 1 its own meter page. The meter readers read and record each reading and compute the monthly consumption in the field finished meter book is delivered to Finance to begin the b process. Finance checks each meter book, adds all new accc makes additions for new move-ins and move outs. The p billing process requires two (2) Finance staff four (4 each month to key punch the data collected in the fi complete the billing cycle. This time consuming process prompted representatives fr Utilities CU Maintenance and Finance Departments to inves new and improved methods for meter reading and billing. Th was to investigate and recommend a system that would improv flow, eliminate mathematical errors, improve reliability of readings, improve meter reading efficiency and eliminate th consuming key punch process for billing. In addition to improving the meter reading and billing proc staff also desired a system which was capable of being us other purposes such as inventory control, and the pa management rating process. During early 1987, City representatives reviewed demonstr )o from various firms specializing in Electronic Meter E After considering all of the presentation ct a a determining the needs of the City, a request for proposal was developed and distributed on September 17, 1987 to 4 that produced electronic meter reading systems. Thr 2 responses were received by the requested date, October 1, from the following firms: 0 F 0 a (A) Radix Corporation i (B) Syscon Corpo*- tion 0 L 3 0 0 ow (C) Itrcn, -:ne, r 0 0 PAGE 2 OF AB rc 9381 An evaluation committee consisting of staff representatives f Streets, Water, Information Systems and Finance were provi copies of the proposals to evaluate against a previou established criteria. Copies of the individual evaluations attached. The system submitted by Itron, Incorporated met or exceeded of the City's specifications; was the most versatile system was unanimocsly recommended by the committee. Staff found Itron had these distinct features making 1 superior product . (A) Specific keyboard, user friendly, easy to underst and operate. (B) Hand-held unit built specifically for utility use. (C) If hand-held unit is damaged, data cassette back-uI provided. No other vendor met this requirement. (D) "Easy Build" software provides for other uses sucl Pavement Rating, Street Sign Inventory, Materii Building Facilities, Maintenance and Sewer Lift Stal Management and Rating. No other vendor prov: software with this level of versatility. (E) Larger capacity - For future growth Twice as large as other systems (F) Local service center - Westminister, California (G) Superior training, which will enable the system tc implemented faster and with minimum errors. The total costs, including tax and annual maintenance costs each system are: ITRON SYSCON RADIX Basic System $18,635 $15 , 840* $16 , 440 IBM/PC System 8,742 8,742 8,742 Additional Travel Cost 2,850 - - 2,144 1,505 2,136 Annual Maintenance Costs Tax 6% 1 , 643 1,474 1,511 TOTAL COSTS $34 , 014 $27 , 561 $28,829 *Both Syscon and Radix were non-responsive to the require that a data loss contingency be provided for in the hand- devices. This feature prevents the loss of previously colle data in the event of a failure of the hand-held devices. Syscon and Radix software systems are also non-responsive tc specifications, in that the software provided is not adapt for other uses. PAGE 3 OF ABt 73fl Implementation of this system will save an estimated $12,000annually in the Finance Department and an incalculable, butlikelysignificant,amount in the Utilities and MaintenanceDepartment.Based on the estimated savings in the FinanceDepartment alone,the cost of the system can be amortized in lessthan 3 years and well within the 5 to 7 year life expectancy ofthe system components.
