Attachment A

SCOPE OF WORK AND TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

CCWD (Contra Costa Water District) is soliciting meter samples for inclusion in an evaluation that will

identify and prioritize viable meter technologies for use in CCWD’s treated water service area.

Participation in this evaluation will result in submitted meters being tested and ranked to inform

CCWD’s treated water meter evaluation and standardization process.

Firms wishing to participate will submit 5/8” meters to be screened against CCWD’s Minimum

Requirements and, if met, will then be moved forward for Performance Testing as defined herein. Only

products that meet CCWD’s Minimum Requirements will continue through the Performance Testing

process. Firms selected for Performance Testing will be asked to provide annual pricing for 5/8” through

2” meter sizes starting with the five-year period FY27 through FY31. CCWD’s standardization program

may continue for as many as five additional annualized periods based on annual options for renewal

through FY36 (2035), at CCWD’s sole discretion. Optional renewals will take into consideration the

meters’ ability to meet CCWD’s current 25-year replacement program based on satisfactory test results

and performance, any manufacturer’s proposed price increases, and compatibility with future

advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) technology requirements.

Submission Instructions

If interested, please provide a sample of a 5/8” positive displacement meter for evaluation and,

if available, a non-mechanical for consideration. Please send sample meter(s) no later than 4:00
