RESOLUTION NO. 051-24
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PORT ORCHARD, WASHINGTON, APPROVING
THE SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE OF IPERL WATER METER RADIOS FOR RADIO
READ WATER METERS AND DOCUMENTING PROCUREMENT PROCEDURES.
WHEREAS, the Public Works and Finance Departments have jointly identified the need to
upgrade the water metering system and associated parts to provide more efficient and accurate water
measurement service to homes located within the City; and
WHEREAS, in 2023, the City began the transition to IPerl Radio Read meters, which are
equipped with a radio read transmitter device to allow the City to wirelessly collect and transmit water
service information; and
WHEREAS, data collection involves driving near meters instead of walking up to each, providing
efficiency in gathering information. The long-term goal is to conduct radio reads directly from City Hall,
streamlining the process of monitoring water usage and enhancing overall operational efficiency; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to RCW 39.04.280, and the City's Procurement Policies, the City must
procure material, equipment, and supplies by competitive means when the purchase is in excess of
$7,500, unless there is an exemption to the competitive process, such as special market conditions or
the purchase is clearly and legitimately limited to a single supplier; and
WHEREAS, in order to meet the City's compatibility requirements and technological
specifications, the City must purchase new IPERL water meter radios that are compatible with our
existing Sensus products; and
WHEREAS, Ferguson Waterworks is the sole authorized Sensus full line Water Distributor in the
states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho; and
WHEREAS, on July 12, 2024, the City received a quote from Ferguson Waterworks for IPERL
water meter radios in the amount of $264,954.13 (applicable tax included); and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the City's procurement policies adopted by Resolution No. 073-
23, Public Works staff completed the Sole Source Vendor Statement to confirm Ferguson Waterworks
was clearly and legitimately the single supplier of these items and met the requirements for a sole
source purchase; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has approved procurement policies which require City Council
authorization for purchasing items that exceed $35,000; and
WHEREAS, the Ferguson Waterworks quote attached as Exhibit A is for the purchase of water
meters in an amount that exceeds the $35,000 authorization limit; and
WHEREAS, the Port Orchard City Council, at the 2015 recommendation of the State
Auditor's Office, wishes to document their selection/procurement process as described herein for this
purchase by Resolution; now, therefore,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT ORCHARD, WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
