<br /> ,. " <br /> " . <br /> . 0 SYSTEM COST: (CONTINUED) <br /> Sensus RadioRead: A RadloRead System with 2,400 <br /> meters @ $90, with one (1) hand held interrogator, <br /> computer hardware and software and mobile vehicle <br /> transceiver would be $550.500. <br /> Sensus PhonRead: A Phon Read System with 2,400 <br /> meters @ $90, and computer hardware and software <br /> would be $469.050. <br /> 0 INSTALLATION OPTION: <br /> The above costs do not include installation costs. New <br /> Brighton used an independent contractor to install their <br /> TouchRead system at a cost of $39 per meter. <br /> 0 FUTURE UPGRADE: <br /> It is believed the upgrade costs from the TouchRead to <br /> RadioRead or PhonRead will drop in the future due to <br /> write off of development costs for hardware and software. <br /> . And as neighboring communities upgrade their systems, <br /> perhaps purchase costs of systems can be reduced by <br /> equipment sharing. <br /> Summarv: <br /> The subcommittee recommends that: <br /> 1. The Sensus TouchRead System be the system of choice. <br /> 2. A working session of members of the City Council, City Staff, Finance <br /> and Public Works/Safety Committee be held with representation from <br /> Sensus Technologies to make a product demonstration and to address <br /> questions and concerns. <br /> 3. The subcommittee stands ready to further support the movement toward <br /> an upgraded Water Metering System and to assist in the development of <br /> an Implementation Plan. <br /> . -4- <br />
