Water Meter Replacements

The City of Steamboat Springs, CO is soliciting proposals from qualified firms to replace

approximately 3,000 water meters ranging in size from ¾ to 2-inches within the City’s distribution

system with electronic registers and installation and activation of Automated Metering

Infrastructure (AMI) transmitters for sending the water meters readings to the existing AMI

Network. furnish installation, provide equipment, hire and manage required labor, and provide

project management for this AMI Installation Project. Steamboat Springs will provide replacement

water meters, endpoints, peripheral installation items (gaskets/bolts/gel caps), project staging and

storage, disposal of old water meters, handhelds for endpoint/meter programming, and

proprietary mounting hardware.

The City currently utilizes Zenner Stealth Readers AMI transmitters to transmit water usage from

the customer meter to the City billing software. The City recently completed a system wide

replacement of all AMI transmitters which are to be reused and reprogramed to the replacement

meters. The existing meters primarily consist of Sensus iPERL (3/4” to 1”) and OMNI C2 (1-1/2”

to 2”) water meters which will be replaced with the equivalent sized Sensus iPERL (3/4” to 1”) and

OMNI C2 (1-1/2” to 2”) water meters. All replacement water meters will be furnished by the City.
