The initial summary lists 11,811 at 3/4 inch, 1,428 at 1 inch, 907 at 1.5 inches, and 212 at 2 inches. The detailed attachment instead lists 11,179 at 5/8 inch and 1,444 at 1 inch, plus 907 at 1.5 inches and 212 at 2 inches; the source counts differ for the smaller sizes. - Larger existing meters: 33 at 3 inches, 19 at 4 inches, 13 at 6 inches, and 9 at 8 inches. Existing meter bodies are to remain where compatible; replace or connect endpoints to the new system. - Other equipment includes new endpoints; alternate positive-displacement or ultrasonic meters in sizes 3/4 through 8 inches; AMR drive-by receivers and collector devices; meter boxes and lids; and installation and field-testing equipment. Quantities and part numbers for these bid items are not provided. - Services and system requirements: Provide and install the AMI network, endpoints, cloud software, meter data management and middleware, communications, customer portal, utility dashboard, integration, training, and ongoing support. Integrate with CentralSquare NaviLine through APIs for billing, customer service, and asset management.
