Agenda Item
Resolution - Lubbock Power & Light: Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute
Change Order #7 to the Itron Master Sales Agreement, RFP #7123-17-EUA, by and between
Itron, Inc., and the City of Lubbock, Texas, to increase the number of Water Advanced Metering
Infrastructure (AMI) communication devices to be delivered and installed.
Item Summary
On June 14, 2018, the City Council executed a contract with Itron, for the installation of the
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Solution for the electric and water utilities. The AMI
Solution is important for the efficient operation of the electric and water distribution system. The
AMI Solution will improve billing accuracy, improve customer service, empower customers, and
enhance reliability.
Itron is responsible for the following water -related tasks:
a. delivery and installation of the AMI Solution networking equipment and services to provide
adequate communication coverage for the water service territory;
b. acquisition and installation of water AMI communication modules and the retrofitting or
replacement of water meters; and
c. hosting of the software that runs the network and providing monitoring and maintenance of
all network equipment.
Change Orders #1 and #2 were executed for electric -related issues. Change Order #3 was
created, but not executed. Change Order #4 was executed to include funds for an Itron Call
Center to assist with installation of both electric and water meters. Change Order #5, included
24-month performance and payment bonds required to meet Texas Water Development Board
(TWDB) low interest loan finding requirements associated with the Clean Water -State Revolving
Fund (CW-SRF). Change Order #6 includes the purchase of additional electric meters necessary
to complete the AMI project.
This Change Order #7 is necessary for the purchase of 3,000 additional water meter
communication devices essential for the completion of the AMI project. The number of
communication devices needed is more than originally estimated because of the increase in the
total number of water meters due to Lubbock's continued growth.
