RESOLUTION - APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH ZENNER USA TO INCLUDE A UNIT RATE FOR REPLACEMENT BATTERY PACKS.
BACKGROUND: The original agreement approved by resolution # 16-165 did not include the cost for battery replacements in existing Datamatic Firefly meter interface units. A copy of the original agreement is attached for reference. This amendment provides for a unit rate for furnishing replacement battery packs. As part of the conversion to Zenner AMI system, the current Firefly units are being evaluated and reprogrammed. Based on the condition of the existing Firefly units, the units will either be refurbished with new battery packs or replaced with new Zenner AMI units.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve
FISCAL IMPACT: $14.00/pack (Est. $35,000)
