That the Committee of the Whole recommends to Council that:
1) The Town of Kingsville implements AMI Technology to achieve both the non-financial and financial benefits associated with the business drivers listed in the report.
2) A “Turnkey” Procurement Strategy be implemented instead of soliciting the market for separate components for the AMI system.
3) Existing assets/infrastructure be allowed for during Procurement.
4) The Town changes all water meters ten (10) years or older as part of the project.
5) The Town installs mechanical meters up to 1.5” in diameter and non-mechanical meters for 2” and larger.
6) A 20% contingency on the installation portion of the project be budgeted to account for potential complications during meter replacements.
7) This project consists of a 6-month procurement phase beginning in 2022 with a 3-month startup and a 12-month implementation phase starting in 2023.
