First Amendment to the agreement with Badger Meter, Inc. for

requirements of Advanced Metering Infrastructure system for water and

reclaimed water utilities.

Approval of the First Amendment to the agreement with Badger Meter, Inc. (Badger) for

requirements of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system for water and

reclaimed water utilities.

Recommendation:

* The purpose of this contract is to convert from the County's analog meters (manually

read) that have reached the end of their useful life to an electronic metering network for

the County's water and reclaimed water utilities services. Additionally, this project will

integrate existing Automated Meter Reading meters to the new metering network.

* The First Amendment provides the Utilities Department a mechanism to purchase

water and reclaimed water meters for new construction, new connections, and to

replace Badger meters outside of warranty coverage as needed, for operational

requirements, while maintaining material requirements with the current AMI Meter

conversion project. This additional funding will be used to install new electronic meters

on new construction. Historically, analog meters were installed on new construction.

This is a continuing operational requirement.

* The First Amendment has an estimated annual expenditure of $597,671.56 and

increases the contract by $5,379,044.06; for a revised total amount of $68,224,764.79,

through June 20, 2031.

* The Board of County Commissioners awarded the initial 10-year AMI contract with

Badger on June 21, 2022, to be used with CIP funding for the replacement and

conversion of existing analog water meters to digital meters and to install new

reclaimed water meters for existing customers that were established before October 1,

2022. Change Order (CO) No. 1 was approved by the Division Director of Purchasing

and Risk Management on April 20, 2023, to provide for material substitution for

reclaimed boxes and lids. CO No.1 had no monetary impact to the contract.

* The contract was entered into for the completion of the AMI capital project; however,

this First Amendment is not material to the Capital project because we would be

purchasing meters for new construction and operational purposes regardless of vendor.

Given the Badger contract, it makes financial sense to purchase the same meters.

* Funding is available in the Water Revenue and Operating Fund and the Sewer

Revenue and Operating Fund, supported by Connection Fees.

Contract No. 21-0057 P; increase in the amount of $5,379,044.06 for a revised total

amount of $68,224,764.79 through June 20, 2031; Authorize the Chairman to sign and

Public Hearing Procedures

The procedure used by the Board in conducting Public Hearings is to have a staff presentation followed by the

applicant presenting the specific proposal. The Board will then hear comments from the proponents, the

opponents and a staff summary. The applicant will then be given an opportunity to close and the Board will

decide on the matter. Public Hearings before the Board are governed by the provisions of Section 134 -14 of

the Pinellas County Land Development Code as may be modified by Pinellas County Emergency Order. That

code provides that at the conclusion of each person’s presentation, any speaker may seek the Chairman’s

permission to ask questions of staff.

Specifically:

1. At the conclusion of the presentations by the applicant and any proponents, all affected parties may

seek the Chairman’s permission to ask questions of or seek clarification from the applicant and/or the

proponents.

2. At the conclusion of the presentation by the opponents, all affected parties may seek the Chairman’s

permission to ask questions of or seek clarification from any opponent.

The applicant’s closing comments will address testimony subsequent to his or her presentation. Continuing

rebuttal of other than directly preceding testimony will not be allowed. Because much testimony has already

been submitted in writing, the following guidelines accommodate efficient presentations:

1. The applicant should present his or her entire case, including rebuttal, in no more than 20 minutes.

2. Persons wishing to speak regarding a Public Hearing item may speak for up to three minutes each.

3. Persons wishing to attend virtually must preregister at https://comment.pinellas.gov by 5 p. m. the day

before the meeting.
