Advanced metering infrastructure water metering system

The Amherst County Service Authority (ACSA) in Madison Heights, Virginia is soliciting proposals for an Advanced Metering Infrastructure water metering system, with proposals due September 21, 2026.

The scope encompasses a comprehensive upgrade of ACSA's commercial meter book (Books 31 and 32) across the entire service area. Bidders must address the existing installed base of hundreds of meters across multiple sizes (5/8-inch to 3-inch), with current manufacturers including Sensus brands (Iperl, SR II, Accustream, and Omni). The project requires GIS coordinates for all meter locations, location and approximate height information for water towers and vertical assets, and meter operating budget information to support return-on-investment analysis. The meter inventory, issued as RFP Addendum 1 on July 23, 2026, documents installation dates spanning 1989 through early 2026, with purchase concentration in the 2000s and 2010s.

The RFP itself (acsa ami RFP sh.docx) was posted July 23, 2026 but its full text is not available in this summary. The addendum provides the technical baseline data necessary for vendors to assess project requirements and prepare proposals, but contract value, term, evaluation criteria, and procurement timeline details beyond the September 21 proposal deadline are not specified in the available materials.
