About this file
This is a Sole Source Form submitted by Sarasota County's Public Utilities Department for procuring Itron water monitoring equipment from United Systems and Software Inc. The procurement involves purchasing products and replacement parts for Itron water monitoring equipment, specifically 100W+ERT Encoder with Integral Connector and Antenna Connectors and CRG-0151-404 Inline Connector 25' Extension Cables. The equipment will be used to monitor meter register connections, with capabilities including leak detection, communication error tracking, cut cable flag identification, reverse flow detection, and data logging. The estimated expenditure is $50,000 for the fiscal/contract year, with an expenditure range not to exceed $150,000.
The sole source justification stems from United Systems and Software Inc. being the only authorized vendor or distributor for Itron's Mobile Collector 3(MC3), Mobile Collector Lite, FC300's, and 100W+ Itron's latest generation of automatic meter reading (AMR) devices and modules. The county acquired these water meters in a 2013 franchise area purchase, and replacing the field equipment would be prohibitively expensive. The procurement is specifically for equipment that reads the radio frequency of water meters installed in the former Aqua Utilities franchise area, with the goal of maintaining continuity of these devices. The document indicates that no other distributors are authorized to sell these specific Itron water monitoring devices in the area.
