Utiltiy Meter Replacement

The Contractor shall provide all labor, materials, tools, and equipment necessary to provide and install new electric, water and natural gas to the building listed in Attachment 1 to Automated Meter Reading Software (AMRS).

Gas Meters : Gas Meters- All new gas meters shall be replaced one for one and be capable of delivering consumption data into the AMRS. The new meters shall be scaled accurately by the contractor and meet UFGS 32 51 13.00 30 and meet the requirements of gas meters specified in the Air Force Meter Data Management Plan.

• 1.  Compatible Gas Meter Specifications
      
     AMRS compatible gas metering solutions consist of a componential system to achieve the goal of delivering gas consumption data into the AMRS. To accurately scale output pulses the contractor shall obtain building gas usage from base personnel, taking into account peak demand when sizing the components that are necessary as well as determining peak pulse rate as to not saturate the receiving device and risk losing captured pulse data. The various components that may be necessary include but are not limited to the following: Gas Meter, Pulse Kit, High Speed Dividing Pulse Relay, Surge Suppression Device, Accumulator, Electric Meter with digital input availability.
      
• Pulse kit must be able to produce a two-wire (Form A) pulse output via RS485
• Pulse output shall be delivered to a high speed dividing pulse relay that has the

capability of producing a wetting voltage if necessary

• High speed dividing pulse relay shall provide isolated pulse outputs (Form A) that shall be delivered to an AMRS compatible electric meter
• Gas meters that can communicate to AMRS via the Modbus/TCP protocol may be

acceptable if they can pass technical and cybersecurity evaluations directed by the

AMRS PMO. At this time there are no tested or approved Modbus /TCP gas meters

Electric Meters : Electric Meters – All new water meters shall be replaced one for one and be capable of delivering consumption data into the AMRS. The new meters shall be scaled accurately by the contractor and meet UFGS 26 27 14.00 20 and meet the requirements of electric meters specified in the Air Force Meter Data Management Plan. 

Electri Meters Specification :

• The following list of meters were evaluated, meet the AMRS meter specification and shall function within the AMRS platform.  All networked devices, their integrated firmware and software will be approved by the Project Manager Office for use in the AMRS.  PMO approval is contingent upon the device, in its fielded configuration, passing USAF cyber and AMRS compatibility testing.
• Schneider Electric ION8600
• Schneider Electric PM8000
• Electro Industries Nexus 1272
• Electro Industries Nexus 1262
• Schneider Electric PM5560
• Schneider Electric PM800 with PM8ECC network card

Water Meters: Water Meters – All new water meters shall be replaced one for one and be capable of delivering consumption data into the AMRS. The new meters shall be scaled accurately by the contractor and meet UFGS 33 11 00 and meet the requirements of water meters specified in the Air Force Meter Data Management Plan

• 1. Compatible Water Meter Specifications
     AMRS compatible water metering solutions consist of a componential system to achieve the goal of delivering water consumption data into the AMRS. To accurately scale output pulses the contractor shall obtain building water usage from base personnel, taking into account peak demand when sizing the components that are necessary as well as determining peak pulse rate as to not saturate the receiving device and risk losing captured pulse data. The various components that may be necessary include but are not limited to the following: Water Meter, Pulse Kit, High Speed Dividing Pulse Relay, Surge Suppression Device, Accumulator, Electric Meter with digital input availability.
      
• Pulse kit must be able to produce a two-wire (Form A) pulse output via RS485
• Pulse output shall be delivered to a high speed dividing pulse relay that has the capability of producing a wetting voltage if necessary
• High speed dividing pulse relay shall provide isolated pulse outputs (Form A) that shall be delivered to an AMRS compatible electric meter
• Water meters that can communicate to AMRS via the Modbus/TCP protocol may be

acceptable if they can pass technical and cybersecurity evaluations directed by the

AMRS PMO. At this time there are no tested or approved Modbus /TCP water meters
