Summary:
The Utilities Department is reviewing a plan for countywide replacement of all water meter boxes, lids and accessories to incorporate new technology for more efficient and effective service to the public. The intent is to competitively solicit the replacement project; this increase requested is to provide for interim repair and replacement as needed.
Background Information:
This is a Cooperative contract containing the requirements of the City of Pinellas Park to supply potable and reclaimed water meter boxes, lid materials and accessories on an as need basis.
When the contract was originally requested three years ago, Utilities was not aware that the meter change-out program would be accelerated to a six-year project. This involves replacing approximately 90,000-meter boxes. The new electronic meters require through the lid antennae; therefore the boxes and lids were re-designed to accommodate this installation.
The County Administrator awarded this contract on November 2, 2017. A name change also was approved on October 16, 2017. An increase to the contract was approved by the County Administrator 6/29/2018.
