Executive Summary:
Sole source recommendation for purchase of ten (10) M420D PCS/PCS Omni device kits and ten (10) M400D Single SPM-900 extensions manufactured and distributed by Xylem Sensus for standardization and compatibility purposes.
Background:

This specific equipment is only manufactured and distributed by Xylem Sensus and is required for standardization of existing hardware, thus requires a sole source exception to the competitive bidding requirements for “Purchases of apparatus, supplies, materials, or equipment when: (i) performance or price competition for products are not available; (ii) a needed product is available from only one source of supply; or (iii) standardization or compatibility is the overriding consideration.” NCGS c§143-129(e)(6). The Commission also approved to forward this recommendation to City Council for approval.
