About this opportunity
The City of Leander, Texas is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to identify qualified vendors capable of providing a turnkey implementation of an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system. The city currently has over 25,000 water meters and is seeking a scalable AMI solution that addresses conservation, customer engagement, and smart water concepts. Respondents are asked to provide details on their AMI solutions across six key elements: metrology, network, data management/analytics, systems integration, customer portal, and implementation. The selected vendor should have experience with applicable federal requirements, as the City intends to use a combination of American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA) funds and its own funds to procure the AMI system. Responses to the RFI are due by September 7, 2023, and the City is looking for the most cost-effective and lifecycle-optimized AMI solution.
The City of Leander is open to value-added services and comprehensive, integrated solutions that address its broader needs beyond the stated AMI requirements. The City reserves the right to use any ideas presented in the responses, which will be subject to the Texas Public Information Act. Respondents are advised to consult legal counsel regarding any confidentiality concerns. While the RFI does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, the City is seeking a vendor with the capability to provision all elements of the AMI system. The RFI does not provide any information on incumbent vendors, current contractors, or budget ranges for the procurement.
Opportunity text
1 Introduction
The City of Leander (COL) is requesting information from vendors who provide the design and implementation of an advanced metering infrastructure system (AMI).
2 Objective
The objective of this Request for Information (RFI) is to identify qualified, interested vendors who provide a turn-key implementation of an AMI system. It is anticipated that the selected AMI vendor will provision all elements of an AMI solution. Initial priorities are conservation and customer engagement with the selected solution to be a scalable platform that ultimately addresses smart water concepts.
All ideas and information shared by Respondents with COL are welcome. COL would like to understand all available options that apply to the requested products and/or services. Any across-the-board, value-added, roadmap outlook and comprehensive, integrated solutions that address other aspects of COL's needs are encouraged. The response need not be solely limited to the stated opportunities in this RFI.
3 Background
COL currently has over 25,000 water meters and is a fast-growing northern suburb of Austin, Texas. The city limits are approximately 38 square miles and future build-out could be double that. More information about the City of Leander can be found at www.leandertx.gov and the City's Comprehensive Plan can be found at www.leandertx.gov/planning.
Most of the city water meters and all new meters, are AMR (model Neptune T10 5/8 Procoder.) The City of Leander is seeking to procure an AMI solution that will be cost-effective and optimize life cycle benefits for the city. To effectively examine the market, COL is asking interested AMI vendors provide detail on their solution along six elements: metrology, network, data management/analytics, systems integration, customer portal, and implementation. The selected solution will address these elements while providing the best value for COL. COL intends to use federal American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA) funds as well as supplement with its own funds. The selected AMI solution provider should have experience and expertise understanding applicable federal requirements.
