A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING
CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER
NO. 1 TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
WITH ITRON FOR FIXED NETWORK SYSTEMS AND
FURTHER APPROPRIATING FUNDS
WHEREAS, the Electric Utility and Public Works departments have initiated automatic
meter reading (AMR) projects with the installation of meters equipped with encoder receiver
transmitters (ERT). To fully receive the benefits of an AMR system, City Council approved the
installation of a fixed network system that would read the meters via a network of receivers
placed around the community; and
WHEREAS, on August 15, 2012, City Council approved the contract with RuggedCom to
conduct a radio backhaul design study for the transmission of data from the receivers to the
City's customer information system. The cost of radio receiver installations, uncertainty of
performance, and the technical expertise required to operate and maintain the radio backhaul
system has resulted in a change in the backhaul network design; and
WHEREAS, moving the existing installed facilities and adding new facilities requires
additional services from Itron in the form of project management, field engineering services, and
technical consultant programming.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
authorize the City Manager to execute Contract Change Order No. 1 to the Professional
Services Agreement with Itron, of Liberty Lake, WA, for fixed network systems, in the amount of
$53,700; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that funds in the amount of $85,000 be appropriated for
the projectfrom Electric Utility and Water Utilityfunds.
