� . . <br /> r <br /> PURCHASING & INTERNAL SERVICES MEMORANDUM <br /> #92 - 23 <br /> April 9 , 1992 <br /> TO: James C. Bacon, Jr. , City Manager <br /> FROM: Deborah M. Perry, Purchasing SupervisorlT'� <br /> SUBJECT: WATER METER BIDS <br /> Attached you will find a bid summary for water meters with remote <br /> readers . <br /> The low bid of Kent Meters , Inc. does not meet City of Decatur <br /> specifications . The bid specification requested bids for meters <br /> with a measuring chamber that has a dual port of entry. The <br /> meters from Kent have a single port of entry. The dual port of <br /> entry provides for less loss of water pressure. <br /> The Kent Meters have a higher pressure loss which means each <br /> customer would receive a lesser amount of pressure at each flow <br /> rate. This would reduce the total amount of water available to <br /> each customer. It is possible, that for customers to have the <br /> same amount of pressure as they currently do, the City could have <br /> to use 3/4" meters for 5/8" meters to realize the same pressure. <br /> This would be more expensive since the 3/4" meters cost more. The <br /> comparison of water meter pressure loss , in pounds per square <br /> inch between the different meters is shown on Table I . The table � <br /> was compiled by the Water Distribution Supervisor from <br /> information submitted by the bidders . <br /> The bid of Badger Meter provides meters with a dual port of <br /> entry. Also, when comparing pressure loss , Badger Meter' s water <br /> meters have the highest delivery rate of water with the lowest <br /> pressure loss . <br /> It is the staff recommendation to accept the low bid meeting <br /> specifications of Badger Meter to furnish water meters at <br /> the following prices : 5/8" meters - $35.88 , 5/8" x 3/4" meters - <br /> $35 .88, 3/4" meters - $53.24 and 1" met�ers - $74 . 75 each for a <br /> total of $56, 468 . 07 . <br /> cc: Beth Couter <br />
