This Ordinance approves and authorizes an expenditure in the amount not to exceed $168,988.00, in relation to the Helping Homes Energy Efficiency Renovation Improvement Program ("Helping Homes Program") for 2025. Helping Homes Program specializes in home weatherization and energy efficiency and is designed to help qualifying low-income electric customers reduce their energy costs by installing energy-saving retrofits in their homes (the qualifying low-income limits are based on HUD’s Income limit). An energy audit determines these retrofits and can include insulation, central air conditioner or heat pump replacement, caulking and weather-stripping, lighting upgrades, and other measures. The retrofits are chosen based on whether they have positive savings for the money invested. All retrofit work will be completed at no cost to those awarded participation in the Helping Homes program. This year, there are twelve (12) properties in this program, with improvements ranging from $5,741.00 to $22,801.00. Keith Moore Builders dba Keith Moore Builders was awarded seven (7) properties for a total amount of $108,238.00.

AN ORDINANCE ACCEPTING PROPOSAL NO. UE25-10 WITH LANDIS+GYR FOR CWLP ADVANCED METERING INFRASTRUCTURE (AMI) COMMUNICATION SYSTEM IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $20,141,509.68 FOR A THREE-YEAR PERIOD,
FOR THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC UTILITIES
This Ordinance accepts RFP UE25-10 in an amount not to exceed $20,141,509.68 over a three-year period, with Landis+Gyr, for the purchase CWLP Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Communications System. This RFP will be for electric AMI deployment, with the ability to integrate water endpoints and additional loT applications as budgets allow. The contract amount includes all hardware and software components of an AMI solution. The total amount also includes a 5% contingency to accommodate field conditions and implementation adjustments. Annual premium support is also included. Actual annual expenditures will vary based on deployment schedules and meter quantities installed each year. The Office of Public Utilities sought proposals for a modern AMI communications system to replace aging metering technology, improve billing accuracy, enhance outage management, support distribution automation, and create a scalable foundation for water AMI and other smart-city applications. Eight (8) proposals were received and evaluated using a weighted rubric based on technical capability, network coverage, vendor qualifications, project methodology, price, and long-term value. The proposals were then narrowed to a shortlist for detailed technical review, reference checks, and pricing validation. Following a comprehensive evaluation process for RFP UE25-10, the CWLP AMI Evaluation Committee determined Landis+Gyr to be the highest-scoring and best overall proposal, achieving the top weighted score and demonstrating the strongest alignment with CWLP's operational and modernization needs. Key evaluation factors included system reliability, compatibility with existing CWLP systems, the flexibility and scalability of the RF Mesh IP architecture, cybersecurity capabilities, extended warranty coverage, and lifecycle cost. Landis+Gyr's proposal includes a 6-year extended warranty for all electric endpoints, integrated support for distribution automation, and lower long-term recurring costs. Other proposals, while competitive, did not offer the same combination of extended warranty coverage, lifecycle value, long-term cost stability, or integration breadth. Some proposals carried higher annual recuring charges, shorter warranty periods, or greater operational risk. CWLP also considered prior support and responsiveness experiences with similar systems as part of the overall vendor risk assessment. Landis+Gyr most closely meets CWLP's operational, technical, and long-term modernization requirements. Therefore, it is recommended that a three-year contract be awarded to Landis+Gyr, in an amount not to exceed $20,141,509.68, which includes premium support and a 5% contingency.
