Water Meter Replacement Project

The Town of Elk Park, North Carolina is requesting quotes for the procurement and installation of 157 Neptune T-10 water meters (5/8" x 3/4") and compatible setters, with quotes due October 20, 2026.

The scope includes removal of existing meters and setters, proper disposal of obsolete components, and full installation of Neptune T-10 units with integral shut-off valves. All meters must comply with AWWA C700 standards and feature AMR/AMI compatible integrated wireless radio frequency technology. Contractors must verify installation accuracy, radio signal functionality, and document meter serial numbers, ERT IDs, and GPS coordinates for each installation.

Contractors must submit an itemized cost proposal with per-unit labor costs and total all-inclusive project cost. The evaluation criteria are total project cost, contractor experience and qualifications with municipal water systems, specific experience with Neptune meter models, and ability to meet the project timeline. Contractors must provide a minimum one-year workmanship warranty on installations and submit vendor qualifications with references from at least three similar projects.

Contractors must propose a work schedule with their quotes. The completion deadline is 60 to 90 days from the submission deadline. All work must comply with local, state, and federal regulations. The Town reserves the right to reject any or all quotes, and contract award is subject to budget availability and Board approval.
