DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH PERFORMED:

Selfridge has previously purchased ITRON CP3 9S CL20 3 ERT DEMAND+ CLOCK units and maintenance personnel are trained on related operation and maintenance of this unit and there is substantial parts compatibility for emergent repairs. This meter must be used for proper communication and supporting the energy data collection system.

The unit has undergone technical scrutiny by the 127 Communications Squadron and its radio frequency is compatible with current base missions.

The 127 Communication Squadron can realistically provide only 1 radio frequency for this application due to security and operational constraints.
