TITLE: Advanced (Water) Meter Infrastructure Project, Approval of Initial
Proof of Performance Purchase and Installation Agreement, Project
19W12
ABSTRACT:
The Utilities and Finance Departments recommend that the City move forward with an
Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI) Project on its water meters. The proposed AMI
project would install new "smart meters" which will provide automation and improved
customer service and response. The departments have procured Mueller LLC as the
preferred vendor through an RFP process and now recommend approval of the initial
"Proof of Performance" phase of project.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Find this work exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant
to Section15301, Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code
of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3;
b) Approve a Purchase and Installation Agreement for the Proof of Performance Phase
of the Advanced (Water) Meter Infrastructure Project with Mueller LLC for
$191,123.76; and
c) Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Agreement.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
The current adopted budget includes sufficient funding for this $191,123 Proof of
Performance phase. It will be expensed from the Water Enterprise Fund in the City
Council approved Capital Improvement Project, No. 19W12. Implementing this Proof of
Performance phase does not obligate or require City Council to move forward with the full
implementation. A discussion of funding and financial impacts for the full implementation
is explained in the Discussion section of the report.

DISCUSSION:
The City's water system utilizes approximately 26,500 meters to measure and quantify
water usage for the residential and commercial accounts in Newport Beach. The vast
majority of these meters are read manually. The utility industry has transitioned to an
Automated Meter Infrastructure known as AMI. AMI, also known as smart meters, is a
step towards a more modernized water metering system that will help the City better
manage the water system resources and provide valuable tools to the users. AMI uses a
low -powered communication device (licensed radio frequency) that is integrated with a
new water meter to transmit water usage information to the City's database.
The two -phased AMI project would replace or retrofit all City water meters with AMI
technology. One of the benefits of AMI include allowing water customers direct access
to water usage information. Specifically, after a new AMI meter is installed and a customer
registers with the City's online water use portal, users can research their usage, enabling
them to better understand and make informed decisions about household water use and
their associated water bill. Another important feature is that AMI can detect water leaks
for homeowners so leaks can be identified and repaired more quickly by the homeowner.
AMI provides the City's customer service staff additional tools to be more efficient,
enhance customer service and lower costs. Also, full AMI implementation would allow
the City to annually save its contracted cost to read water meters.
On November 28, 2017, staff presented the AMI project concept during the City Council
study session. As presented during the study session, staff recommends a preliminary
contract known as a Proof of Performance phase to fully test the products, the
connectivity, the customer interface and obtain feedback from staff and customers.
The City conducted a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) procurement process and
received 6 proposals. An evaluation panel arrived at the following rankings.
*Zenner Performance Meters proposed a different type of AMI solution using a mesh
communication network of over 200 data repeaters and limited data communications capabilities.

** Alexander's Contract Services, Inc. proposal was not evaluated for cost because the proposal
was based around an alternative solution approach that was deemed not feasible.
Mueller LLC was selected by the evaluation panel because of their experience and
qualifications and held all the necessary certifications required for a project of this
magnitude. Mueller's references were outstanding and strongest of all the proposers.
Mueller also has a dedicated Network Operations Center ("NOC") wherein a 4 -tier level
support team constantly monitors their AMI network systems to optimize performance for
the life of the project. This NOC provides individual customer support to City staff for all
matters related to the system.
Mueller's AMI technology was also one of the most appealing factors to the panel. Their
AMI solution has the capability to perform remote shut-off and pressure monitoring, which
can increase efficiencies in water meter operations. Finally, Mueller proposes to partner
with Vanguard for meter installations and Vanguard has been responsible for over 450
successful meter implementation projects. After Mueller was identified as the highest -
qualified proposer and the most cost effective proposer from this RFP process, staff entered
into negotiations with Mueller to refine the pricing and come to an agreement on legal
terms and conditions. The agreement presented for City Council approval is the result of
these negotiations.
The Proof of Performance phase will include the installation and testing of 4 collectors, 4
repeaters, and 250 water meters encompassing multiple metering groups including
residential, commercial, and irrigation. Also, this phase includes the AMI head -end
software, the Meter Data Management System software, the integration of meter data
and testing the ability to integrate into the City's customer portal and the City's water
billing system. The intent of this phase is to prove basic end-to-end connectivity,
integration, and usability of the proposed system. It will also allow staff to quantify and
address any implementation challenges and better estimate the staff time necessary for
full implementation.
The implementation of the Proof of Performance phase is expected to take place this
spring over the course of 60 days. The evaluation period will be up to six months.
Advanced notice will be sent to the surrounding properties for the proposed collectors
and repeaters. Notices will also be sent to the individual properties that will have their
meters replaced. Meter replacements typically take 30 minutes with the water shut off for
only 15 minutes.
The full AMI implementation costs, which includes replacement of all 26,500 meters, are
estimated at approximately $9.5 million and would be partially offset with cost savings.
Later this year, staff will bring back the full AMI implementation for City Council
consideration including costs, timing, benefits and funding. This will be coupled in parallel
with a discussion and consideration of the upcoming Water Master Plan and the Water
Rate Study. Implementing this Proof of Performance phase does not obligate or require
City Council to move forward with the full implementation.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends that the City Council find this work exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15301, Class 1 (Existing
Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3,
because the proposed scope of work involves an installation of software equipment to
selected and existing use city -water meters and street lights for testing and data gathering
purposes, in order to provide automation, improved customer service and service
response time. This section allows the operation, repair, maintenance and minor
alteration of existing facilities of both investor and publicly -owned utilities used to provide
electric power, natural gas, sewerage, or other public utility involving negligible or no
expansion of use.

Software Integration Plan
[Mueller srsT�s
Purpose of Document
The purpose of the document is to specify background information, business requirements, interface
integration, automated data processing, testing, and user acceptance for the AMI software
implementation with the City of Newport Beach (" City").
15-53
AMI Integration Plan
1. Scope Summary
Mueller sysTEnns
The City is implementing Mueller Systems AMI software (Mi.Host) for water service. The Utility's
billing system, Tyler Technologies MUN IS, will interface with Mi.Host for the following items:
• Customer Data Synchronization (CIS Upload File)
• Meter Data Synchronization (Meter Swap File)
• Billing Data Exchange (Billing Request/ Response Files)
2. Business Details
2.1 Business Background
The City is implementing Mueller Systems AMI software and will interface with Mi.Host for the following
items:
• Customer Data Synchronization (CIS Upload File)
• Meter Data Synchronization (Meter Swap File)
• Billing Data Exchange (Billing Request/ Response Files)
2.2 Assumptions
• If multiple meters exist at one site, each meter is accounted for via unique meter location ID
3. Interface Scope
3.1 Detailed Process Description
Before installation of meters can commence, the City must provide a complete CIS Upload file which will
be used to sync Mi.Host to the billing system. This file will contain all customer relevant information
needed for the installation process. If at any point, during or after the installation is completed, the
customer data changes (e.g. customer move, new construction, etc.), the City will provide a subsequent
CIS file for upload in order to maintain consistency between the databases and for accuracy during the
billing process. The CIS file will be uploaded manually using the Mi.Net User Interface for the initial and
any update files.
Once the installation of meters has commenced, the meter swap file can be generated within the Mi.Net
User Interface. The initial meter swap file will include all old and new meter information for meters that
have been added or swapped during the installation. After the installation has completed, the meter
swap file can be generated at any time for any timeframe within the Mi.Net User Interface for meter
additions, swaps and removals.
The City will be notified of when the billing interfaces have been completed and Mi.Host can accept the
billing request file. The request file will contain all records that are ready for billing and Mi.Host will
return a billing response file that includes the most recent read for the date range requested.
The Mi.Net User Interface will be accessible via: https://newportbeach.muellersystems.net
15-54
Mueller sysrEMs
AMI Integration Plan
3.2 Interface Logic
This section contains the logic, customizations, data elements and file formats for each interface
identified for this software implementation.
3.2.1.1 Customer Data Synchronization (CIS File)
The CIS File includes all relevant customer information from City to Mi.Host and will be provided
as a comma separated value (CSV) file. The file will contain the following fields:
Mi.Host Field Name CIS Field Name
Product Type
Unique ID
Account Number
Route Sequence
Customer Address Street 1
Customer Address Street 2
City
State
Zip Code
Meter's Serial Number
Meter Size
Meter Make (Manufacturer)
Last Billed Read
Reading Units
Last Read Date
For any field within the user interface (except unique meter location ID/Unique ID), if a value is not
passed, it will be stored as 'Unknown' or as a blank value. (NOTE: if any of these values are updated on
the handheld during the install process, they will be passed and updated in the database as well).
The initial CIS file should be provided to Mueller Systems and will be used to populate the Mi.Host
database manually. Any changes to the customer information after installation should be passed to
Mi.Host in the same file format. (NOTE: for changes after installation, Mueller Systems can either
accept a full extract or just changed information).
If the file format needs to be changed for any reason, Mueller Systems must be notified of this in order
to make the appropriate configuration changes before the file is uploaded.
15-55
AMI Integration Plan Mueller SYSTEMS
3.2.1.2 Meter Data Synchronization (Meter Swap File)
Mueller Standard File
The meter swap file can be generated within the Mi.Net User Interface and will contain the following
fields:
Mi.Host Field Name
Unique ID
Account Number
Old Serial Number
Old Final Read
New Serial Number
New Meter Manufacturer
New Meter Form (size)
New Read
Latitude
Longitude
Last Read Date
Node ID
The new meter's initial read is assumed to be the value of 0. If the new meter's initial read is something
other than 0, then the read will need to be entered by the installer and will be passed into the 'New
Read' field in the file. The old final read will be equal to the reading taken at the time of the swap and
the last read date will be equal to the date of the new meter install.
The file can be generated within the Mi.Net user interface at any point after meter installation begins.
The file format will be comma delimited and passed with the following naming convention: 'Asset
Report DD-MM-YYYY to DD -MM- YYYY. txt'
3.2.1.3 Billing Data Exchange (Request / Response Files)
The billing interface will consist of 2 file exchanges. The billing request will be sent by the City to
Mi.Host requesting reading information for specified customers, and the billing response will be sent
from Mi.Host to the City with the associated meter read data. Both files will be passed as comma
separated value (CSV) file.

Billing Request File:
The City will send a billing request file to Mi.Host with the following fields:
Billing Response File:
once the billing request file is received, Mi.Host will send a response file with the following fields:
Mi.Host Field Name
CIS Field Name
Unique ID
Account Number
Reading
Read Date
(mm/dd/yyyy; hh:mm:ss:tt)
Serial Number
Product Type
Customer Address Street I
Customer Address

Billing Response File:
once the billing request file is received, Mi.Host will send a response file with the following fields:
Mi.Host Field Name
CIS Field Name
Unique ID
Account Number
Serial Number
Reading
Read Date
(mm/dd/yyyy; hh:mm:ss:tt)
All reads will be sent back as the raw read (the read from the spinning dials on the register). No
multipliers will be added and no manipulation will be performed to the reads that are received from the
field. The City will add multipliers to the read for billing if necessary
The response file will be sent as a comma delimited file with the naming convention of: 'Billing
_Output.Csv
Manual Reads:
Manual reads are only passed within the billing response file following the process below:
Within the Mi.Host User Interface, the billing request file will be uploaded for a specified date range.
Selecting 'Process file for missing reads' will determine if a reading exists for a unique meter location ID
within the specified date range:

In the case that no reading exists for a particular unique meter location ID for the requested date range,
a 'cell' will be created. The cell can then be downloaded to the handheld device in order for the field to
take manual reads. Once this process is complete and the handheld is synced, the manual read
information is passed to Mi.Host. A billing request file can now be uploaded and the 'Process for
finalization' button can be selected.
The response file will now include all reads including the manual reads taken prior to the finalization
process.

notice of successful completion. If the test results fall outside of performance criteria set forth below,
either party will communicate failure within one week of occurrence. Mueller Systems will determine
point of failure (i.e. either the Utility end point failure or interface failure).
Mueller System will provide reports of data failure(s) from Mi.Host and / or the Utility will provide reports
of data failure(s) from the relevant customer system. Once Mueller Systems determines where the point
of failure occurs, the Utility and Mueller Systems will mutually agree upon a timeframe for remediation
and resolution.

Consumer Portal Integration Plan
Purpose of Document
The ,purpose of this document is to specify background information, business requirements, interface
integration, automated data processing, testing, and acceptance for interfaces to a third party
consumer portal for the City of Newport Beach ("City")
Background
City wants to use their existing consumer portal vendor to provide consumers access to AMI data. This
document defines the interface requirements. The data involved in this project contains no personal
information of the City's clients or residents. In order to ensure complete data security, 128 -bit
encryption is used in communication with collectors. Web access utilizes Transport Layer Security
(TLS) protocols and 1024 -bit key encryption. Access to the data and manipulation is based on user
roles and authenticated login credentials. Configurable security allows the City to provide different
levels of access and permissions based upon each username.
Integration Points
Interval meter data will be transmitted daily between the Mueller Mi.Host AMI system and City systems.

CMLe�t
Objective
The objective of the EAP is to verify that the AMI System will operate and meet or exceed the criteria set
forth in this Exhibit. The parties will jointly administer the EAP. For all tests below, Mueller Systems will
calculate the applicable performance requirements using the existing software features within the AMI
System. Unless stated otherwise below, any disputes regarding the performance of the AMI System shall
be settled using meter read data from Mi.Host's database.
Testing will generally commence within 30 days of when the following activities have been completed:
1. All Mi.Nodes and meters physically installed
2. Network infrastructure installed
3. Mi.Nodes have been configured for reporting
4. HES/MDM is configured and collecting data
Note:
• Before beginning the Test Procedure, all equipment (Mi.Nodes, network equipment, etc.) must
be installed in locations defined in the network system design.
• Utility may choose to waive testing if it believes that such testing is unnecessary. Should anytest
be waived, such test shall be deemed to have passed.
Test Procedurf_
1_ Mueller Systems notifies Utility of readiness to commence testing
2. Mueller Systems and Utility mutually agree upon start date and test duration
3. Mueller Systems will provide written test results within five (5) days of the conclusion of the test
4. If test results fall within performance criteria set forth below, Mueller Systems will provide
written notice of successful completion and maintenance responsibility will pass to Utility at
that time for all network infrastructure, Mi.Nodes and meters
5. If test results fall outside of the performance criteria set forth below, Mueller Systems will
attempt to determine root cause of non -reporting Mi.Nodes utilizing HES/MDM network tools
6. If Mueller Systems determines that a given Mi.Node is not reporting due to site specific or
homeowner induced conditions, the Utility shall take steps to remediate.
7. If Mueller Systems determines that a given Mi.Node is not reporting due to other than site
specific or installation related conditions, then Mueller Systems shall take steps to remediate.
8. When sufficient remediation has been completed, proceed to begin the test procedureover
again.
Test Performance Criteria
Collection of Billing Data
Formula
Performance Criteria is 98.5% reads during the applicable Billing Window*
Performance Criteria = 100 x ([Successful Communications) / (Expected Communications])
M1113e110 SYSTEMS
Page 2
15-65
A I �Ne tl
* Billing Window means the span in days, no shorter than 3 days, during which a valid meter read
must be obtained to properly bill a customer. Successful Communications is defined as a billing read
available in HES/MDM. Expected Communications is defined as a billing read from each active
account in HES/MDM.
The denominator "Expected Communications" in the formula above will be modified to adjust for the
following conditions:
9. Damaged meter or Mi -Node for example: meters with tamper, theft or other human induced
failures that render the meter or Mi.Node module incapable of providing a read
10. Other Installation Defect—the unit is otherwise installed improperly so that it does not
communicate with the network infrastructure.
11. Meter or Mi.Node has been identified for Utility to remediate
12. Mi.Node is serviced by network infrastructure that has been subjected to a power failuregreater
than eight (8) total hours within the last three (3) days
13. Illegal or unauthorized jamming of the radio spectrum is preventing or interfering with radio
communications
14. Data Base errors — the Mi.Node is removed from the field but not removed from the HES/MDM
database.
15. Mi -Node is dependent on Mi.Node that has been identified for Utility to remediate
16. A Mi.Node or the network equipment that serves a Mi.Node has been affected by a Force Majeure
event
Operation of Remote Disconnect Meter (Disconnect/R.econnec�tl
Large Group Performance Criteria is 90% successful disconnections or reconnections within 24 hours of
HES/MDM receiving the specified accounts and requested actions (disconnect/reconnect). A "Large
Group" is defined as a list of up to but not more than 1,000 meters. One Large Group will be processed
per 24 hour period.
Small Group Performance Criteria is 90% successful disconnections or reconnections within 4 hours of
HES/MDM receiving the specified accounts and requested actions (disconnect/reconnect). A "Small
Group" is defined as a list of less than 20 meters.
Formula
Performance Criteria = 100 x ([Successful Operations] / [Expected Operations])
Successful Operations means the intended action either disconnection or reconnection has occurred.
Expected Operations means the intended action.
The denominator "Expected Operations" in the formula above will be modified as specified in the
Collection of Billing Data section above.

the following provisions:
A. Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured
pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against
City, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees, volunteers,
and any person or entity owning or otherwise in legal control of the property
upon which Contractor performs the Project and/or Services contemplated by
this Agreement or shall specifically allow Contractor or others providing
insurance evidence in compliance with these requirements to waive their right
of recovery prior to a loss. Contractor hereby waives its own right of recovery
against City, and shall require similar written express waivers from each of its
subconsultants.
B. Additional Insured Status. All liability policies including general liability, excess
liability, pollution liability, and automobile liability, if required, shall provide or be
endorsed to provide that City and its officers, officials, employees, and agents
shall be included as insureds under such policies.
C. Primary and Non Contributory. All liability coverage shall apply on a primary
basis and shall not require contribution from any insurance or self-insurance
maintained by City.
D. Notice of Cancellation. All policies shall provide City with thirty (30) calendar
days notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which ten (10) calendar
days notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.
5. Additional Agreements Between the Parties. The parties hereby agree to the
following:
A. Evidence of Insurance. Contractor shall provide certificates of insurance to City
as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a waiver of
subrogation endorsement for workers' compensation and other endorsements
as specified herein for each coverage. Insurance certificates and endorsement
must be approved by City's Risk Manager prior to commencement of
performance. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with City at
all times during the term of this Agreement. City reserves the right to require
complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.
B. City's Right to Revise Requirements. City reserves the right at any time during
the term of the Agreement to change the amounts and types of insurance
required by giving Contractor sixty (60) calendar days advance written notice
of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to

Mueller Systems, LLC Page C-2 15-87
C. Right to Review Subcontracts. Contractor agrees that upon request, all
agreements with subcontractors or others with whom Contractor enters into
contracts with on behalf of City will be submitted to City for review. Failure of
City to request copies of such agreements will not impose any liability on City,
or its employees.
D. Enforcement of Agreement Provisions. Contractor acknowledges and agrees
that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform Contractor of non-
compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on City nor
does it waive any rights hereunder.
E. Requirements not Limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or
limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage,
limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by
any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes
of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any
party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a
waiver of any type.
F. Self-insured Retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and
approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions
be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be
considered to comply with these requirements unless approved by City.
G. City Remedies for Non -Compliance If Contractor or any subcontractor
fails to provide and maintain insurance as required herein, then City shall have
the right but not the obligation, to purchase such insurance, to terminate this
Agreement, or to suspend Contractor's right to proceed until proper evidence
of insurance is provided. Any amounts paid by City shall, at City's sole option,
be deducted from amounts payable to Contractor or reimbursed by Contractor
upon demand.
H. Timely Notice of Claims. Contractor shall give City prompt and timely notice of
claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Contractor's
performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage
under any of the required liability policies. City assumes no obligation or liability
by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of
any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City.
Contractor's Insurance. Contractor shall also procure and maintain, at its own
cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own
judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the
Work.
