Wilson, Water Utility Engineer (ext. 7295) Automated Meter Reading System Approval of Recommended System and Contract Negotiations ISSUE: Should Council approve the Water Utility's recommendation to select United Pipe and Supply/Sensus Metering Systems as the most highly qualified firm to provide the City with an Automated Meter Reading (AMR) system and authorize staffto negotiate a contract with United Pipe and Supply/Sensus Metering Systems for the acquisition of the AMR system components? RECOMMENDATION: Select United Pipe and Supply/Sensus Metering Systems as the most highly qualified firm to provide the City with an AMR system and authorize staff to negotiate a contract with United Pipe and Supply/Sensus Metering Systems for the acquisition of the AMR system components. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: The purpose of the AMR system is to improve meter reading efficiency, capture water usage data, enhance water conservation activities, and provide timely and accurate billing to our water customers. The AMR system will also allow the City to optimize the pumping of its water supply wells and the operation of its water system. The AMR system will provide data on water usage patterns needed for demand forecasts, planning for long-term water supply options to meet demand from population growth, and development within our service area. Currenfly, the water system has over 17,000 meters. Don Persson, Council President May 11, 2010 Page 2 of 3 Request for Proposal, Evaluation and Selection Process The Water Utility, with the assistance of a consultant, developed a request for proposal (RFP) package that included the instructions for proposal submission, technical specifications, the process for evaluation of proposals including evaluation criteria with weighting factors, and a description of the selection, negotiation, and contract award process. In April 2009, after obtaining City Attorney approval of the RFP package, the Water Utility advertised the RFP. The City received proposals from eight companies/teams. The City's evaluation team, with members representing functional areas: Utility Billing, Water Operations and Maintenance, Water Engineering and Information Technology, evaluated the eight written proposals and selected the following four companies/teams for further evaluation: Datamatic/Databar; Ferguson Waterworks/Neptune Technology Group; Itron; and United Pipe and Supply/Sensus Metering Systems. During the second phase of the evaluation, the four companies/teams submitted detailed descriptions of the proposed AMR system configurations, implementation plans, and cost proposals. The cost proposals included not only the initial costs but also annual software maintenance fees and estimated replacement costs for a 20-year period. The technical merits of the proposed systems were evaluated independently of the proposed costs. The companies also made oral presentations to the City's evaluation team. The Cit�s project manager conducted telephone interviews with representatives of water systems where AMR systems were installed by each company. The Cit�s evaluation team rated the proposal submitted by United Pipe and Supply/ Sensus Metering System as the best and most advantageous proposal to the City considering functionality, compatibility with the City's existing metering and billing systems, and life cycle costs. Proposed Contract Elements and Schedule for Deployment of AMR System The main tasks and deliverables to be negotiated for the contract include: • Providing and installing system hardware and software for the data management system. • Providing end-point radios. • Providing and installing data collection and routing stations. • Providing the interface between AMR system and the utility billing system: • Training of City water maintenance staff who will be installing portions of the system, and City engineering and utility billing staff who will be using the data management system. Subject to Council's approval of the negotiated contract and of a project budget, the Water Utility plans to deploy the AMR system over a five-year period to reduce impact H:\File Sys\WTR - Drinking Water Utility\WTR-27 - Water Project Files\WTR-27-3499 - Automated Meter Reading System\Contract\Negotiations\Council Approval\final-draft-IssuePaperAMRNegotiations.doc/AGtp Don Persson, Council President May 11, 2010 Page 3 of 3 to the annual budget for capital improvement projects. The five-year schedule includes an initial "pilot" phase. During the pilot phase water maintenance staff will install and set up the end-point radios in two of the existing meter routes and one of the three data collectors will be installed. The first phase will provide us with valuable information with regard to the remainder of the deployment. In the following phases, the task of installing the end-points will be performed by in-house staff and small contracts (i.e., a contract for a particular route using the eCityGov Alliance Small Public Works Roster.) Estimated cost for deployment of AMR system . The estimated cost for the full deployment of the AMR system within a five-year schedule is $4.35 million. Of this amount, $2.15 million is for the proposed contract (see proposed contract elements above) and $2.2 million is for installing the end-point radios, replacing some of the meter bodies, and replacing some of the meter registers. The Water Utility has budgeted $900,000 for the AMR project in the 2010 Capital Improvement Program budget (acct #425/455591) to cover the initial "pilot" phase of the project. CONCLUSION: The proposed five-year phased deployment of an Automatic Meter Reading System will allow the City to improve its meter reading efficiency and accuracy, reduce meter reading costs, and provide timely notification to our customers when leaks are found on their service lines. The AMR system will provide the City with valuable information on water use patterns so that we can optimize the operations of existing water resources and plan for long-term water supply options to meet demand forecasts from population growth and development. Council's approval of staff recommendation to select and negotiate a contract with United Pipe and Supply/Sensus Metering Systems for the acquisition of the AMR system components is needed to initiate the project. After the completion of contract _ negotiations, the Water Utility will report back to Council for approval of the contract. cc: Lys Hornsby, Utility Systems Director JoAnn Wykpisz, PW Principal financial and Admin Analyst File H:\File Sys\WTR - Drinking Water Utility\WT'R-27 - Water Project Files\WTR-27-3499 - Automated Meter Reading System\Contract\Negotiations\Council Approval\final-draft-IssuePaperAMRNegotiations.doc/AGtp i� �.�.. �.�,•'1• _ ;;�:, =3`'"' A�; - �, UTILITIES COMMITTEE COMMITTEE REPORT I��, !�1 � :i" June 7, 2010 Automated Meter Reading System Approval of Recommended System and Contract Negotiations (May 24; 2010) I The Utilities Committee recommends concurrence in the staff recommendation to select I United Pipe and Supply/Sensus Metering Systems as the most highly qualified firm to provide the City with an AMR system and authorize staff to negotiate a contract with United Pipe and , Supply/Sensus Metering Systems for the acquisition of the AMR system corriponents.

Wilson Subject: RE: Renton AMR - Cost Proposal Questions J.D 1 I've responded to your questions below. Please let me know if you need further clarification of our RFP. Thank you for your patience and look forward to speaking with you soon. Tom General: Do any of the costs presented include applicable taxes? If so, what tax rate (rates) was (were) used? A: We didn't include tax in our proposal. We were under the impression this project may be tax exempt. Table 1: Help me understand items 3 and 4. Standard lengths 6-ft and 25-ft. If length is less than 15-ft then no "additional" charge. Is this the same as saying, if the length of the wire is less than 15-ft then the cost of the wire is included in the proposed cost of the transmitter? If wire length is between 16-ft and 30-ft then there is an additional charge of $4.25. If 25-ft is a standard length, then why an additional charge for lengths greater than 15-ft and less than 25-ft? A: Neptune stocks 6-ft and 25-ft wire lengths at their factory. Some customers want the length of the wires a special distance. It takes an extra step in the manufacturing process the special lengths. An extra charge will be required for wire lengths over 16-ft with the exception to the standard length of 25-ft. The customer will not be billed for any special lengths shorter than 16-ft. In table 2: You have costs for 13 Fixed network data collection units and costs to install 12 data collectors? Is one of the 13 a spare which you would not install? A: The Neptune fixed based system we are purposing only requires 12 data collectors in The City of Renton to for operation. Neptune strongly recommends having an extra collector on hand in case of any unforeseen event which may cause the collector to malfunction. The extra collector is the spare listed on table 4 as an initially shipped item. This spare covered under the same warranty program as the other 12 collectors. Are the monthly cellular fees included elsewhere in the proposal? If so, where? A: No, the locations of our collectors will be able to use existing communication lines for the backhaul of the information. If the city would rather use all cellular, the cost on the collector will be the same, but you can anticipate about $50.00 in service fees. At $10,390.00 for the AMR control computer software, how many concurrent users are allowed to use the system? Where do you show the cost of the initial set up / start up and testing of this software and its interface with the data collectors? Is the line item for "Server" for hardware only or for sever hardware and server operating system software? A: Included in the cost of the system (hardware, software, and training) you will receive four concurrent users or seats as we call them along with set up, startup and testing. Windows Server software is included along with the server hardware. Other You do not show any bonding or permitting fees. If your installation of the data collectors involves electricians or other trades we will require that that part of your work be bonded and the State will require that the trades people be paid prevailing wages. Do you anticipate that no permits will be required to install the data collectors (e.g., electrical permits)?

D., Please see my comments to your questions below General: Do any of the costs presented include applicable taxes? If so, what tax rate (rates) was (were) used? All pricing does not include applicable sales tax. Table 1 You indicate that there is no extra charge for connecting a Sensus SmartPoint and a Sensus TouchRead meter. Is there any additional cost for connecting a Sensus SmartPoint to a Sensus ICE meter? If so, you need to include the cost in your proposal. The definition of a Sensus TouchRead meter is any Sensus meter with a Electronic Coded Register installed. This includes all of your Sensus Registers that may be labeled as ECR2, ECRWP (Wall Mount Radio) and TRPL. A Sensus "ICE" Register is the latest version of the Sensus TouchRead register product line. All of the cities current Sensus TouchRead meters have been designed to plug directly into the Sensus SmartPoint Radio without any modifications or extra connection costs. This ensures a water tight connection between the register and the SmartPoint, eliminating the possibility of water intrusion at this connection point. Table 2 The costs shown for the data collection units include all installation costs, including power, signal, structural, etc — correct? Yes For $31,250 for the AMR control computer software how many concurrent users can use the system? [Are there any additional licensing fees above a certain threshold of users?] Where do you show the cost of the initial set up / start up and testing of this software and its interface with the data collectors? Sensus will provide licenses for up to 25 concurrent users in the proposed solution, but this number can easily be increased if desired by purchasing additional Client Access Licenses (CALS) from Microsoft for Windows Server and Windows SQL used on the RNI. The cost of testing the software and interface is included in the purchase of the RNI and TGB equipment. This is one of the many functions of the Sensus Project Management Team. You indicate that you will be providing the AMR control system computer. What operating system will be used? Our IT staff does not support Linux of any type. We are a Windows shop. We made this very clear in the RFP and pre-proposal meeting. What do you proposed to ensure the system is operational at all times? [see comment below on Table 3] The Sensus FlexNet system operates on both Windows Server 2005 and Linux 5.2. Each operating system is loaded on to one of the two blade servers supplied by Sensus. Even though part of the system is operating in a Linux environment, this side of the system does not require any support knowledge on the part of your staff. All database queries and system control resides in the Windows environment. If we ever get into a situation of needing help with the Linux box, we will be calling on the 24x7 Sensus support staff to manage the issue remotely or onsite as required. What will the three proposed field programmers consist of? Sensus is providing the option of supplying a similar design of handheld that you are using today for meter reading or a Trimble Nomad option. A benefit to using the Trimble is the compact size of the device, but it also includes a camera and bar code scanner for installation assistance. Additionally, if you have other Windows Mobile devices with GPS and Bluetooth connections, these can be used as well for programming. All field programmers will require a Bluetooth Connected CommandLink module. Sensus will be supplying 3 field programmers as part of the RFP with the CommandLink modules included. We can make the decision later on what type of handheld you want (AR5502 Sensus Handheld, Trimble Nomad 800LE) You show no cost to interface with the utility billing system. Are you sure about this? Is there not work involved in getting radio IDs into the system? Coordinating radio IDS and register IDs? The interface between the Sensus AutoRead system currently being used and Springbrook is already in place. The Sensus FlexNet system will use the same interface to transfer readings and route information back and forth between systems. No modifications to the layout will be required. Table 3 Do these costs include the annual backhaul communication costs? [For example, the Rolling Hills site will not have fiber]. If not, please add. The backhaul that I have proposed to use is a unlicensed Wireless Bridge Point-To-Point system. There is no annual maintenance costs with this device. What part of the system requires a Red Hat license? Our IT staff does not support Linux of any type. We are a Windows shop. We made this very clear in the RFP and pre-proposal meeting. What do you proposed to ensure the system is operational at all times? The part of the system that operates in a Linux environment is one of the two blade servers supplied by Sensus. This box operates as the controller for the entire system. If any part of this system should ever become a problem, the 24x7 Sensus support team will be there to support the cities needs. Additionally, all meter and communication statistics information is stored on the Windows Server. This will assist your IT Staff in any backup processes that they want to initiate. In either case, the Sensus Support Staff will be available on a 24x7 basis to help with any support needs including phone support, remote diagnostic support and 48 hour onsite tech support as needed. The Sensus FlexNet system has redundancies built into every component, from the Sensus SmartPoint Radio to the RNI Servers. If any one of these points of the system fails, the others will be there as a backup until the repairs can be made. • Sensus SmartPoint Radio 7 Days of Hourly Reads • Tower Gateway Basestation (TGB) 30 Days of Hourly Reads From Each Meter • Regional Network Interface (RNI) 13 Months of Hourly Reads From Each Meter Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Grady Way Renton, WA 98057 Dear Mr. Wilson: August 12, 2009 Thank you for allowing United Pipe & Supply and the Sensus FlexNet system into your considerations for the round 2 analysis of the Renton Automated Meter Reading System RFP. The entire team is excited in presenting and providing the benefits that you have acknowledged in your review of the Sensus F1exNet system. The deployment schedule included has a very detailed outlook of how the system can best serve the cities needs. As you review the documents, you will see the true value of a Primary Use Licensed Frequency and the power that this protection and security can provide. The overall performance of 2 full watts of power, coupled with true 2-Way Full Duplex communication architecture has presented itself very well in phased deployment presented to the City of Renton throughout this response. No other vendor can match the functionality, reliability, flexibility and simplicity that the F1exNet system offers. The network monitoring and maintenance services, which also includes FlexNet system soflware maintenance and upgrades, provide the assurance that the system will continue to operate at optimal performance levels for the useful life of the system.

Section 1. Detailed System Description United Pipe & Supply and Sensus are pleased to offer the most powerful fixed based meter reading system ever developed. Sensus and the City of Renton have had a long and successful relationship for over 20 years. In that time, Renton has gradually moved from a manual read environment to a TouchRead and Vehicle RadioRead on a large population of ineters, all using Sensus technology. In the last 10 years, the metering industry started to embrace the need for AMR but some wanted more. Sensus answered the calling with the introduction of FlexNet 5 years ago. In that time, the few that wanted more reacted and the financial and operationai benefits followed. In the first 5 years of operation, the FlexNet system has proven to be a reliable, simple and flexible infrastructure that will adapt to the ever changing needs of utilities big and small. To date, the Sensus FlexNet system has over 3 million endpoints installed with an additional 10 million scheduled for delivery. With all of the advancements and experience that Sensus and United Pipe & Supply have experienced with identical projects, we are confident that we can provide a mature and stable system. With the advantage of Primary Use Licensed Frequency, Two-Way communication and remote firmware upgrades, the FlexNet system will provide sustainability and adaptability to the constantly changing demands of water meter reading for the entire 20+ year life of the system. 1.1 Equipment � Material TGB — Tower C_==;:':.-�.;��:y B�s�� Station The City of Renton will require a very minimal amount of infrastructure with the Sensus FlexNet system. The first part of the system that will be deployed will be the Tower Gateway Base Station (TGB). A total of three (3) TGB's wilf be required to create an umbrella over the entire service area. Additionally, with the overlapping coverage of the TGB system, each SmartPoint radio attached to a Sensus meter will be heard by an average of 1.5 TGB's. With the All Pass Always technology within the SmartPoint radios, every radio has the capability of being heard by any TGB and is not restricted to a preprogrammed path. This will ensure a very robust system that will able to adapt to the ever changing environment and the rare TGB outage. Each TGB will come housed in a NEMA outdoor enclose that can be installed either outside or inside. The enclosure will come with a transceiver unit, 8-hour battery backup supply, AC unit, heater, GPS antenna and power supply. All of these components will be able to be monitored remotely to manage the TGB's health and pertormance. The TGB transceiver's software can be monitored and upgraded remotely, either from the City of Renton or fcom Sensus Support. The antenna of each TGB will be customized for the best fit for the installation. The two most common types of antennas used are the 10' whip antenna or the panel antennas frequently seen on cell phone towers. The Sensus Project Manager will determine the best fit for each installation during the initial site visits after award of contract. RNI — Regional Network /nterface Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply City of Renton Water Meter Automafed Meter Reading System 3 Sfep 2 Detailed System Description 8 lmplementation Plan The City of Renton will be supplied with one (1) RNI system that will be comprised of multiple software packages and two (2) Dell 2950 Biade Servers. The first server, called the Network Controller (NC) handles communications between the TGB nefinrork and the Database Server and also acts as the Web Server piatform for the FlexWare software. The Database Server (DB) provides the platform for the FlexNet database. The FlexNet RNI also includes a Powervault MD1000 RAID data storage array consisting of 15 73GB Hard Drives for data security. The software that will run on the RNI will come preinstalied on the supplied Deli Servers. This will include all Operating Systems, FlexWare Software, Database Software as well as all diagnostic software for the FlexNet system. All the licensing for the RNI will include 25 Cals that will be owned by the City of Renton. The operation of the RNI will run under a city specified internal web address. This will allow for anyone within the city network to be granted access to all the meter information collected by the FlexNet system. SmartPoint Radios The Sensus FlexNet radio is designed almost the same as the 5�OR/510R MXU radio currently being used by Renton in the Sensus VXU Drive-by system. The housing of the FlexNet 520X/510X SmartPoint radio is identical in design and requires the same physical installation as the current radios being used. The differences come when we start to discuss the electronics. The FlexNet SmartPoint radio operates at a 2 Watt transmission level vs. a 200mW level that is currently in use with the Sensus RadioRead MXU. Additionally, the Sensus FlexNet SmartPoint operates on a Primary Use Licensed Frequency that has full protection from the FCC while the Sensus MXU operates on a publically shared band frequency with no FCC protection from outside interference. Coupling the 2 watt power transmission with the Primary Use Licensed Frequency allows Sensus to provide the strongest and most reliable system while requiring the least amount of infrastructure on the market today. The Sensus FlexNet SmartPoint will be supplied in a one port and two port configuration. With the assistance of the Renton staff, it has been determined that we can supply an estimated amount of 14,390 single port SmartPoints and 1,510 dual port SmartPoints. The dual port radio can be utilized for meters that are side-by-side or within close proximity. The meters are required to be within 100 feet of the radio to work correctly, but these distances are not recommended. It is recommended to utilize a dual port when meters are within 6-10 feet from each other. This will ensure a minimum amount of labor for installation while taking advantage of the cost savings of one less SmartPoint radio. The connection to the meter will utilize the current TouchCoupler connection currently in use by the current Sensus MXU's. This connection type will be able to use any current Sensus meter with a TRPL or TouchRead connection installed. This will ensure a water proof connection over the life of the system. If a direct wired connection is needed for some installations, Sensus can supply a 3-wire configuration that will require a UY2 GelCap connection. For these installations, it is recommended to attach a TRPL end onto the register and utilize the TouchCoupler connection. If Renton needs to replace the register or meter in the future, the city can benefit from the waterproof connection and not rely on the UY2 GelCaps over the life of the system. Field Programming Device Sensus will supply one complete programming device upon delivery of each TGB unit. As part of the no cost service that United Pipe & Supply provides, the City of Renton will have access to several additional loaner FlexNet installation tools for the "just in case" factor. Each unit supplied by Sensus will come with: Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 4 City of Renfon Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Step 2 Detailed System Description & Implementation P/an 1- AR5501 Sensus Handheid Device (Identical to the AR5001 8� AR5002 currently used but with Bluetooth connection and some other advancements) 1 — CommandLink Module 1— AR5006 Charging and Communication Stand . The AR5501 Sensus Handheld device looks identical in many ways to the current handhelds being used by Renton. The main operational difference befinreen them is the Bluetooth connection capabilities of the newer handheld. The operationai similarities allows for Renton to use these supplied handhelds as part of the meter reading process of all the non FlexNet units alongside the current handhelds. They are fully integratable into the current Sensus AutoRead system. The CommandLink Module is the Bluetooth connected device that will activate the SmartPoint radios. The Bluetooth connectivity allows for easy connectivity to multiple devices. It also allows for Renton to perform firmware upgrades as advancements continue to come from the Sensus engineering team. Sensus will supply this unit as an individual part if desired. Many utilities have chosen to utilize existing compatible equipment to produce more field programming devices at a significantly reduced cost. The requirements for a compatible install device are: • Bluetooth Connection Enabled • GPS Receiver • 50MB of free memory • HandHeld or Laptop • Windows Mobile 6/ Windows XP / Windows Vista Sensus has approved some 3�d party installation field computers that have been used by other utilities with great success. These handhelds include: • Sensus AR5501/AR5502 HHD • Trimble Nomad • Juniper Archer FNP- Flex��'cr (��'��i:�ori: Por�4! The FlexNet Network Portal is a simple repeater that is designed to provide a repeated signal for any SmartPoint within its range directly to the TGB. These are typically seen in areas isolated from the main service area or within difficult terrain. The City of Renton will require a total of six (6) units to be deployed as marked on the City of Renton Deployment Schedule. The FNP units only require 120VAC to operate and are typically mounted on any outdoor structure 15' to 25' tall. No hard line communication is required for these standalone devices. The Sensus FlexNet 2-way communication will support all communication required for these devices. As deployment continues, the need for these devices will be reduced. United Pipe & Supply and Sensus is suggesting a phased deployment of each of the three (3) TGB's. As the second and third TGB are installed, some of the hard to reach areas not fully covered by the first TGB will begin to have coverage. At this point, a FNP will no longer be needed for these areas. The City of Renton will then have the option to move the unit to another area or discontinue use. The Sensus Diagnostic maps will assist in determining the need for these units after full deployment. It is recommended to leave all units in service over the life of the system as they will only improve the performance of the system. Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 5 City of Renton Water MeterAutomated Meter Reading System Step 2 Detailed System Description & Implementation Plan 1.2 Meter Radio Configurations 520X Pif Set Smart Point Radio The 520X radio is a pit set radio engineered to be mounted through the lid of any material meter box or meter vault lid. This is possible because of the antenna design of the 520X. The lid itself can't be more then 1-3/4" thick with an AMR whole of 1-3/4" in diameter. Any meter box lid currently housing a Sensus RadioRead MXU or Sensus TouchRead pad should not require any modifications for proper installation. Installation of current 520R radios will require unpiugging the TRPL sensor from the old radio and plugging it into the new 520X SmartPoint without any modification to connections or cables. Additionally, for current TouchRead services the 520X SmartPoint will take the place of the TRPL sensor in the lid. The TRPL sensor wili be plugged into the 520X SmartPoint to complete the instailation. Please see Page 50 of the RFP response for further details. The 520X radio is capable of connections using the Sensus TouchCoupler communication or using a 3- wire option. For all Sensus meters, the Sensus TouchCoupler connection is highly recommended for long term water proof protection. The 3-wire option is available for meters that do not currently have a TouchCoupler connection currently available. Both configurations come with an option of one or two ports. 510X Vi�all 1!;ount �mart Point RaG'fo The 510X radio is a wall mount radio engineered to be mounted to a Sensus wall mount Touchpad. These will be found in basements, strip malis and other installations where a meter vault is not appropriate. For installations currently populated with a 510R Sensus MXU, a simple removal of the old device is all that is required to install the new 510X SmartPoint. The 510X radio is capable of connections using the Sensus wall mount Touchpad or using a 3-wire option. Please see Page 51 of the RFP response for further details. 1.3 Communication Between Collectors and I�eadquar�ers Server The communication befinreen each TGB and the RNI server is extremely flexible. Each TGB comes standard with a Primary and Secondary backhaul communication port. The primary communication can be accomplished using many different forms such as Fiber Optics, Wireless, Point-To-Point RF, DSL, Phone line, Cable and any other form that uses a static TCP/IP communication method. The secondary communication port is used in periods while the primary communication is down. The optional secondary communication is compatible with a basic 56k modem and provides enough bandwidth for full operation capabilities. In deployment of the Renton TGB sites, both the West Hills Reservoir and Highlands Reservoir will be connected to the existing city fiber optic system for the primary communication. The Rolling Hills Reservoir does not have fiber optic communication at this time. For this installation, a wireless Point-To- Point RF communication will be deployed to provide primary communication back to the RNI. The wireless RF communication is manufactured by AFAR Communications Inc. The model that will be supplied by United Pipe & Supply will be the PuIsAR 24027 wireless Ethernet network and requires no long-term operating or subscription costs. Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supp/y 6 City of Renton Water MeterAutomated Meter Reading System Step 2 Detailed Sysfem Description & lmplemenfation Plan �� The City of Renton will have the option to employ the use of the secondary communication. This is not required for the operation of the FlexNet system. With the 7 day history in the SmartPoint radio along with the 30 day history within the TGB, very few opportunities will come up where a secondary communication would be utilized. If the secondary communication is not connected and the primary communication is still not functioning after 30 days, a Renton operator wili have the option of pulling meter data locally from the TGB and importing the data into the RNI though a supplied interface. 1.4 Other Aspects of The FlexNet System The Sensus FlexNet system will come ready to accept additional benefits outside the scope of this RFP. Some of these features can benefit finance and billing while others can benefit operations and engineering. With the FlexNet system becoming more powerful every day, further advancements and features will be driven by the need of the end user, Renton. PermaLog Acoustic Leak Detection Sensus has partnered with Fluid �onservation Solutions in the integration of their PermaLog+ acoustical monitoring system that can be temporarily or permanently deployed throughout the system. These devices monitor for leaks located on the main distribution lines during the nighttime hours when usage is at a minimum. If a leak is found the PermaLog+ system wili radio back through the FlexNet system notifying operations of a possible leak and it approximate location and flow rate. Operations will then need to visit the site using a correlator to determine the exact location, depth and volume of the leak. 4 �. ,:: ' : i�:r :},=;�.;:- - ' +�.� �+F'rty _ ' %'•' .L��: - � � . .

'1 �.� Figuce 1: PermaLog Device These devices mount magnetically and can be removed and redeployed to another section of town. Integrating the PermaLog system into the FlexNet system will provide another tool in combating the volume of unaccounted water seen in Renton today. They will also reduce the costs associated with repairs as a more exact leak location will be given reducing the need for digging up streets and other material. Sensus FlexServer Customer Web Portal Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply � City of Renton Water Meter Aufomated Meter Reading 5ystem Step 2 Defailed System Description & Implementation P/an Sensus also offers an optional FlexServer Customer Web Portal for the City of Renton water customers and utility personnel. This web portal allows Renton water customers to view their own, up-to-date individual consumption in a number of different ways on their computers or smart phones. It also allows Renton customers to set up custom alerts, receive messages from the utility, and will even allow the City of Renton to deliver information to consumers via in-home display devices. The FlexServer platform will be available in the 4'h quarter of 2009, and offers true benefits to end user .and the utility in terms of conservation and customer service. The FlexServer platform also gives the City of Renton Utility personnel another platform to view and analyze data, set up customer alerts for different usage conditions, notify end users of boil water alerts, maintenance in�different pressure zones, water restrictions or other important messages. `:�Gi-'(� � R .

In using the 2-Way FlexNet coverage, one type of device currently under development is a remote shutoff valve that will allow Renton to remote disconnect services as needed. The dedicated communication channel with the FlexNet system for these types of 2- Way commands will ensure the quickest response of any system available today. Copyrighf0 2009 United Pipe & Supply g City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Step 2 Detailed System Description & Implemenfation Plan Section 2. Implementation Plan 2.1 Deployment Planning The Sensus project management team has been responsible for over 172 successful deployments of the FlexNet system in the last 5 years. In that time, they have found many different ways to successfully deploy the FlexNet system, each taking into account the needs of the system owner. The City of Renton will be able to benefit from these experiences. With the completion of the Award of Contract, Sensus will assign an available project manager. At this time, Randy Arntson has been pre-assigned for this project. The Project Manager (PM) will: • Review the signed Statement of Work (SOV1n and Customer Acceptance Plan (CAP) with Renton and assist in making any changes that need to be made. • Verify TGB and RNI Delivery Dates • Verify SmartPoint Delivery Dates • Conduct site survey of TGB site locations with City of Renton • Conduct site survey of RNI site location • Verify Static IP address information with City of Renton • Verify SmartPoint Deployment plan • Coordinate project kick-off meeting • Coordinate TGB installation with Sensus subcontractor • Coordinate RNI installation with Sensus technical support staff onsite. • Test communication between the TGB and RNI • Test communication between the RNI and the Springbrook billing software • Setup MDM and FlexWare software • Facilitate phased customer acceptance testing of the FlexNet system The Sensus FlexNet system will be deployed as per the agreed upon criteria of the SOW and CAP. The project manager will work with the City of Renton to verify each milestone agreed upon in the CAP. As SmartPoint radios are installed, the PM will manage the optimization phase of the deployment of the installation phase. For a full list of the Project Managers services, please see page 202 or the Renton RFP response. 2.2 Phasing of Collectors and Back Office Components The Sensus FlexNet system is flexible enough to be deployed all at once or as a phased deployment. The City of Renton would benefit from a phased deployment due to the volume of routes that can be completed with just one TGB. The first phase of deployment will include the installation of the RNI at City Hall along with the first TGB at the West Hills Reservoir. With these two pieces of equipment installed, the city will be able to install a large portion of the FlexNet radios, included routes 25 and 31 that are currently being read by the Sensus VXU system.'The table below shows the coverage of each tower with a phased deployment. This table represents complete coverage of individual routes and is not limited to the routes noted. In many cases, routes will be picked up by all three TGB's.

During this time, the install crew will be trained on proper installation, handheld operation, troubleshooting and verification of endpoint activation. During activation the installation handheld will verify communication and activation with the TGB. During this time the meter and SmartPoint ID, GPS location and signal to noise ratio are logged in the TGB and sent over to the RNI for analysis. If a SmartPoint is not covered by the TGB, the installer will be alerted during installation. Selection of test installations can be done anywhere inside the designated area of the propagation study supplied in the original RFP response on pages 158 to 161. 2.4 Validation of Data Collection and Billing Processing Moments upon installation, the SmartPoint radio will send setup and binding messages back to the TGB for the next several minutes. Once these messages are received, the SmartPoint radio and attached meters will be entered into the FlexWare software and MDM system for route processing and subsequent billing. The next step will be in entering the installation information into the appropriate account in Springbrook. Once the accounts have been updated, the updated routes can then be imported into the Meter Data Management (MDM) interface on the RNI for processing of the selected reading. If the MDM identifies any inconsistencies between what is seen out in the field and the Springbrook database, a Mismatch Report will identify these issues automatically. The utility billing clerk or approved equal can use this report to identify what information needs to be modified to allow for correct billing information. In most cases, the Mismatch repo�t will provide enough information that a physical site visit will not be necessary to validate the meter information. This will be governed by the preferences set at Renton. The billing processing will be almost identical to the current procedures. The Sensus MDM system will manage and process meter reading information in much the same way as the current Sensus AutoRead system. The file layouts between Sensus and Springbrook will also be unchanged from the current layout. This will assist in a smooth transition between the Sensus AutoRead software and the Sensus MDM and FlexWare sofiware. As part of the Project Managers tasks, the intertace befinreen the Sensus RNI and Springbrook will be verified before training starts. 2.5 Phasing of "Going Live" By Route As shown in Table 1 above, the City of Renton will have a great deal of routes that will be covered by the first phase of deployment of TGB's. With a total of 35 routes covered by the West Hills TGB alone, Renton will have a large start on deployment. The management of route selection and implem.entation will be ultimately managed by Renton. Before deployment starts, it is recommended that Renton defines a new route structure for all meters moved over to the FlexNet system. The City of Fife, also a Springbrook user, decided during their FlexNet deployment to section out each of their meters into service types as shown below. Copyrighf0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 11 City of Renton Water Mefer Automafed Meter Reading System Step 2 Detailed System Descripfion & Implemeniafion Plan If Renton chooses to do something similar, the monitoring of irrigation accounts or pressure zones would become extremely easy. Instances of this would be if you wanted to search for large water users in a pressure zone or irrigation account during water restrictions. With all of the current route numbers less than 100, Renton could create a route structure similar to: Group Name Route Number Single Family 100 Multifamily 101 Irrigation 102 Government 103 Commercial 104 Industrial 105 Deduct Meters 106 PermaLog Leak Detection Devices 107 Table 2 As installation starts, the installation crew will work through the walking order of each route selected. As the new meter and radio information is collected and entered, the data entry person will update the route number for that account at the same time. If the time for billing comes and a route is not yet compieted, the billing clerk wili be abie to separate which meters are to be read by each system. For example, if route 25 is half completed and all of the FlexNet accounts on route 25 have been changed to route 104, the billing clerk will send route 25 to the Sensus VXU and route 104 to the FlexNet RNI for completion.

Moving forward with the Sensus FlexNet project, part of the Project Managers role will be to review this document with the Renton team and execute the necessary changes and action plans associated with each section. 2.8 Preliminary Project Schedule The overall FlexNet deployment will be extremely flexible. Sensus and United Pipe & Supply have put together a realistic project deployment schedule that will provide a complete coverage network by the beginning of 2012. If the city chooses to move slower or faster than the schedule lays out, the system will have the flexibility to adjust to those needs. As shown above in the route coverage table, the covered routes have been identified for the deployment of TGB's in the order noted. This order is reflected in the deployment schedule attached below.

Pricing must be based upon the Technical Specifications issued as part of the RFP (April 20, 2009), unless modified by this document. All quantities are estimated and the City may purchase more or less as indicated at the prices quoted, except for the data collectors and repeaters required to establish the communications network for the fixed network system, or any other ancillary equipment needed for a fully functional AMR system, whose quantities will be furnished by the Respondent. The Respondent will determine the number of data collectors and repeaters required to achieve the reading performance and frequency requirements established by the City. If additional data collectors and repeaters are required to achieve the stated requirements than originally estimated by the Respondent, the Respondent will be responsible for furnishing and installing any additional collectors and repeaters at their expense. The City will pay for additional collectors and repeaters needed to expand the original service territory, as needed. Indicate "NA" (Not Applicable) if the particular equipment described is not incorporated in the Respondent's proposed AMR system design. Respondent must respond to each line item listed in the cost proposal tables; lump sum proposals will not be accepted. Respondent must include any additional equipment or service not listed in the tables below that is required to provide a complete, fully operational and functional system. Pricing is to be firm for the period of the contract, which is estimated to be through December 31, 2015, unless extended by the City. Where future costs are requested, all values are to be provided in 2009 dollars. AMR system equipment purchased under this contract will be based upon orders placed by the City. . Deliveries of ordered equipment will be shipped to the City. The Respondent will pay all freight charges for such deliveries, including return of equipment that the City is submitting for warranty replacement. NOTE: Cost proposals shall be submitted in a sealed envelope separate from other materials submitted during Step 2 of the selection process, as they will be opened at the conclusion of this stage of the process so as not to influence evaluation of the other criteria. �- Table 1.

The City reserves the right to order any amounts without affecting the unit price. 2. The City reserves the right to order any items listed in its component parts. 3. Other standard lengths of transmitter wire available at no additional charge. NA — The TouchCoupler connection of the 520X SmartPoint is designed to attach to the cities current TouchRead meters. This will also include current RadioRead services. No wires will be ex�osed which will ensure no water intrusion. 4. Other transmitter wire lengths available at additional charge and the amount of that charge. If a wired connection.is needed for a isolated few connections, the primary recommendation is to GelCap a TRPL sensor to the Sensus Register and connect using a standard 520X radio. If this is not possible a 3-wire connection will need to be used at an additional cost of $2.50 per SmartPoint. This price holds for both single port and dual port SmartPoints. z Table 2.

The pricing in Table 4 represents the maximum dollar amount that the Respondent will charge the City for providing replacement products and services. . Describe in the box below, the methodology that was used to compute the future costs of replacing ihe noted items. All future values are to be expressed in 2009 dollars. All mai.n infrastructure components are covered under the Sensus F1exNet Maintenance Agreement. Additional costs will occur when the city sees fit to replace the supplied installation eauinment. The average replacement timeframe for handheld equipment with Sensus has 5 historically been 10 years. All other material expenses are covered under the Sensus Warranty document as shown on page 125 of the RFP document. All battery replacements will be performed by a warranty replacement of the SmartPoint Radio, identical to the process with warranty replacements with Sensus today. In calculating the replacement cost, a replacement quantity of 5/1000 per year was used as projected by the Sensus engineering team. These costs will only occur with units outside the full replacement value window of 10 years. Please note that a 20 year warranty is covered by all SmartPoint radios, 10 years full and 10 years prorated. Warranty replaced SmartPoint radios will start a new 20 year warranty on that device.

Grady Way Renton, WA 98057 Dear Mr. Wilson: June 10, 2009 Thank you for the opportunity to allow us to present the Sensus F1exNet Solution to the City of Renton. We are pleased to provide this Proposal in response to your RFP for an Automated Meter Reading System solution. Our proposed solution is the FlexNet Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) solution. F1exNet is a fi�ced-network AMI system in which RF modules communicate directly to a receiver installed at a Tower Gateway Base Station (TGB). From the TGB, the data transmits directly to the utility, not a remote collection facility. FlexNet was designed on the core concepts of Reliability, Flexibility and Simplicity and offers the City of Renton these benefits: ❖ Scalability, with single-tier communications architecture that eliminates thousands of pole- mounted transceivers ❖ Eliminates complex distributed data bases and adaptive networks ❖ Reliability, with overlapping coverage ❖ Sx redundant meter messages � ❖ CRC-32, error detection and correction ❖ Primary Use Licensed Frequency to ensure long term reliability ❖ TouchCoupler meter connection technology to ensure a long term factory sealed connection between the existing and future Sensus meters and Fle�et radio unit. No other vendor can match the functionality, reliability, flexibility and simplicity that the F1exNet system offers. The network monitoring and maintenance services, which also includes F1exNet system software mai.ntenance and upgrades, provide the assurance that the system will continue to operate at optimal performance levels for the useful life of the system. We are excited about this opportunity to continue and expand our partnership with the City of Renton and look forward to your feedback on our response.

Executive Summary The City of Renton has enjoyed many years using Sensus meters and has a large U�,��� installation of the Sensus TouchRead and RadioRead system. With the partnership between United Pipe & Supply and Sensus, we have provided the City of Renton wifh PlPE&SUPPLY local support and service. With the current AMR project being presented, our continued service wili enhance the overall experience that United Pipe and Supply and Sensus can provide. iii.a. Brief understanding of the scope of this project. United Pipe & Supply and Sensus both have a clear understanding on how a system of this magnitude needs to be managed and supported. We feel confident that our partnership over the last 24 years will only strengthen the support level that we can provide. The FlexNet solution being proposed will provide the city with a solution unmatched by any other. The total system capabilities will provide true two-way communication between the City of Renton and each water meter installation with a SmartPoint radio allowing for hourly meter reading to be collected and displayed. The Primary Use Licensed Frequency that the FlexNet system operates on coupled with a long time knowledge of installing and operating radios successfully in the Pacific Northwest ensures that the Sensus FlexNet system is the only system with the long term needs and goals of the City of Renton as the number one priority. Similar projects of equal magnitude have been successfully completed in past years. With a 5 year deployment scheduled for Renton, the deployment will be very manageable. United Pipe & Supply and Sensus have the capability to provide installation options that would allow for system wide completion within 1 year if requested by the city. An identical project of a smaller caliber was just completed at the City of Fife. United Pipe & Supply was the general contractor of the project. With the installation of SmartPoints performed by a subcontractor, the installation of 2,350 SmartPoints was completed in a 2 month period, with 100% coverage and success completed before the first billable read in March of 2009. iii.b.

This provides Renton with the highest possible system pertormance for both current and future needs. � Copyrighi0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 4 City of Renton Water Meter Aufomated Meter Reading System Executive Summary The FCC licensed band proposed by Sensus represents a very significant investment by Sensus and a very significant long-term risk mitigation value to Renton. This licensed band solution was not a casual choice, and its importance to Renton cannot be overstated. It was born through 20 years of participating in the ISM unlicensed band and experiencing its deterioration in performance due to the continually rising noise floor. The Sensus design and project operations teams have first-hand knowledge that hard to reach meters are difficult to reliably and economically reach using ISM, and that the noise floor increases will drive the need for the ongoing installation of additional collectors over the life of the network. Our Sensus team has 70 patents in the area of ISM radio design and proactively chose to discard it (at great expense) in favor of long term reliability and sustainability afforded by FCC licensed band performance and protection. The software definable radio endpoints in the Sensus solution represent a very significant long-term risk mitigation value to Renton in avoiding stranded hardware assets. We are the first to admit that no one has a perFect view of the future applications and demands on the system over the 15-20 year horizon. What we do know is that endpoint and collector hardware agility and flexibility is paramount to risk avoidance. All the endpoints proposed by Sensus (representing fully two-thirds to three-quarters of your financial investment and risk) contain software definable radios. This endpoint agility is far more than the ability to upgrade firmware. It permits the endpoints to receive new RF modulation improvements oVer time which hold the promise (and the demonstrated reality) to increase bandwidth, capacity, and performance in support of future applications. It further permits the endpoints to adapt to new licensed spectrum frequencies (up to four simultaneously). Should Sensus and Renton decide at some point to roll-out additional network spectrum, or have the network operate simultaneously on multiple licensed frequencies, the hardware in the ground remains unchanged. We believe Renton fully appreciates the lower total cost of ownership, elimination of backhaul costs, elimination of installation and support hassle, support for backhaul primary to secondary failover, and dramatically reduced O&M points inherent in the Sensus tower-based data collectors. Sensus would also like to emphasize that the collectors represent a very significant long-term risk mitigation value to Renton in avoiding stranded hardware assets. The Sensus 19" rack mount telecom solution uses proven industry practices for advanced mission-critical telecom networks. The collector design is agile in support of future changes in bandwidth and capacity. Sensus permits 1) changes to RF modulation 2) additional collectors added to the same Renton tower sites 3) additional collectors added to alternative Renton or third party sites and 4) upgrades to collectors to support future RF spectrum alternatives and message types. By a very wide margin, Sensus has the largest successful installed base of production AMI networks (172) and endpoints (3,000,000). The Sensus solution has proven its scalability in very large network deployments. Our real-world experience matches our modeling of the network communications and the scalability testing of the head-end system. Sensus has already successfully deployed networks the size of the Renton deployment. Sensus' advanced scale manufacturing capacity is keeping pace with the rapid adoption of the FlexNet product line. Industry Standards — Sensus supports your requirements for ANSI metering, Zigbee HAN, IP backhaul and IP endpoint addressability. Further, the flexibility of our endpoints, collectors, and overall systems architecture position Renton to support other standards and protocol conversion requirements in the future. As an example our Smart Grid Portal roadmap endpoint for adopting installed base distribution equipment assets supports protocol conversion for DNP3 and Modbus. Successfully executing Renton's vision for water is far more than a radio. Experience matters. The expectations include robust compatibility with Sensus and competitive installed-base water meters, plus a Copyrighi0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 5 City of Renton Water Meter Automafed Meter Reading System Execufive Summary range of companion execution issues including local stocking, delivery, service, installation, and relationship. Sensus is the number one supplier of water meters in the world and importantly has successfully installed 800,000 FlexNet water endpoints. Implementation Plan Sensus plans to successfully implement and execute every project in a customer-sensitive manner, while maximizing safety, timeliness and accuracy. Our Operations and Deployment plans are based upon national best practices gained from our experience performing meter changes and AMR/AMI network installations for water, gas and electricity utilities nationwide. Before project start-up, Sensus expects to work closely with our customer to establish an installation plan, installation schedule, project deliverables, accountabilities, clear lines of communication and reporting protocol between the companies. Sensus typically plans 45 days after contract finalization for the start of project deployment. During the mobilization phase of this project the Sensus AMI Program Manager and our Project Site Manager will work closely with the customer's Project Manager, to coordinate all aspects of the project start-up including the following: • Operational review of the contract and scope of work • Coordination with our customer on operating policies and procedures involved in this project • Clearly define team members roles and responsibilities and project deliverables • Development of a project deployment plan (including phased deployment) • Development of a project deployment schedule • Consolidation of the Sensus production schedule with the project schedule • Coordination with our customer on training processes The project deployment team is trained to ensure that the impiementation utilizes our general operational philosophy and approach, combining the benefits of national best practices and local management. The plan ensures day-to-day supervision and ongoing coordination at the highest levels within Sensus. Sensus' AMR Program Manager will work with the customer's Program Manager in coordinating all aspects of the project start-up and ongoing quality monitoring of the implementation. FlexNet Deployment Process Sensus' program management has significant Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) experience and will employ proven IPPD methods in managing the customer's AMI Program. SMS, and its partners, integrate product activities under program management to simultaneously optimize the product, including its development and implementation in order to meet schedule, performance and cost objectives. Sensus uses empowered cross-functional teams composed of program management, project management, engineering, manufacturing, test, implementation, logistics, procurement, contracts and financial management. These teams are dedicated to a common purpose and objectives for which they are mutually accountable. The focus is on delivery of a quality product to our customer rather than on the individual disciplines — being on the same page, and promoting timely and knowledgeable program decisions. Copyrighf0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 6 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Execufive Summary Sensus seeks to mitigate risks to the project by employing an elite team of Program and Project Managers with significant experience in industrial, military and commercial program areas of large-scale structured project management. Automated tools for resource management and daily communication are web enabled. Our customer's management and team members will have daily access to information via the web regarding the status of the project from a schedule and area of activity point of view. Also viewable are the corrective actions that are being taken to ensure compliance with standards, schedules, and expectations. Sensus and its preferred subcont�actors will work with our customer to create the deployment plan and •schedule within 45 days of contract signing. The plan and schedule pay particular attention to the transition planning required to ensure seamless service with minimal awareness and impact upon our customer's customers. Project Monitoring and Review Process Project status reviews take place weekly befinreen the Sensus Program Manager and the designated customer representatives. The reviews focus on progress relative to specified benchmarks and milestones, and identify and discuss strategies employed to resolve any significant issues affecting the smooth deployment of the network and ancillary systems. Data systems are employed to obtain daily data on the status of all aspects of the system deployment. Statistical analysis is employed to ensure that all significant trends are identified as early as possible to permit taking corrective actions at the earliest possible point in time. This information is shared with all team members and summaries provided to the customer as part of the weekly review meetings. To reduce product supply risk, the Sensus Program Manager coordinates with Sensus Operations Management to review installation schedules to ensure the continuous supply of product for rapid deployment. This approach ensures that product for large-scale deployments remains always readily available for installation. The PM and Operations Management will create a project manufacturing schedule for the project. This schedule will be reviewed on a weekly basis to ensure sufficient buffer stock of transmitters and network elements on site, and therefore available on short notice to keep ahead of the deployment schedule. This approach also permits deployment schedule acceleration if all other conditions permit.

Step 1 Proposal Evaluation Criteria iv.1. System Design Sensus believes it offers the City of Renton an AMI system that will freeze meter reading costs for more than 20 years. We would like to review the Sensus strengths in delivering, sustaining, and protecting the City of Renton's AMI investment. Licensed Band RF — The FCC licensed band proposed by Sensus represents a very significant investment by Sensus and a very significant long-term risk mitigation value to City of Renton. This licensed band solution was not a casual choice, and its importance to City of Renton cannot be overstated. It was born through 20 yea�s of participating in the ISM unlicensed band and experiencing its deterio�ation in performance due to the continually rising noise floor. The Sensus design and project operations teams have first-hand knowledge that hard to reach meters are difficult to reliably and economically reach using ISM, and that the noise floor increases will drive the need for the ongoing installation of additional collectors over the life of the network. Our Sensus team has 70 patents in the area of ISM radio design and proactively chose to discard it (at great expense) in favor of long term reliability and sustainability afforded by FCC licensed band performance and protection. RF Endpoint Design — All the endpoints proposed by Sensus contain software definable radios. This endpoint agility is far more than the ability to upgrade firmware. It permits the endpoints to receive new RF modulation improvements over time which hold the promise (and the demonstrated reality) to increase bandwidth, capacity, and performance in support of future applications. It further permits the endpoints to adapt to new licensed spectrum frequencies (up to four simultaneously). Should Sensus and City Of Renton decide at some point to roll-out additional network spectrum, or have the network operate simultaneously on multiple licensed frequencies, the hardware in the ground remains unchanged. RF Collector Design — We believe City of Renton fully appreciates the lower total cost of ownership, elimination of backhaul costs, elimination of installation and support hassle, support for backhaul primary to secondary failover, and dramatically reduced O&M points inherent in the Sensus tower- based data collectors. Sensus would also like to emphasize that the collectors represent a very significant long-term risk mitigation value to City of Renton in avoiding stranded hardware assets. The Sensus 19" rack mount telecom solution uses proven industry practices for advanced mission-c�itical telecom networks. The collector design is agile in support of future changes in bandwidth and capacity. Sensus permits 1) changes to RF modulation 2) additional collectors added to the same City of Renton tower sites 3) additional collectors added to alternative City of Renton or third party sites and Copyrighf0 2009 Unifed Pipe 8 Supply 9 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Sfep 1 Proposal Evaluation Criteria 4) upgrades to collectors to support future RF spectrum alternatives and message types. Storm and Outage — The Sensus solution has been field proven to operate successfully in severe storm and outage incidents. Should City of Renton face storm conditions which create downed power poles you will not lose AMI network communications. With or without power, the Sensus data .collectors will continue to operate from secure City of Renton tower asset locations. Scalability — By a very wide margin, Sensus has the largest successful installed base of production AMI networks (172) and endpoints (3,000,000). The Sensus solution has proven its scalability in very large network deployments. Our real-world experience matches our modeling of the network communications and the scalability testing of the head-end system. Sensus has already successfully deployed networks the size of the City of Renton deployment. Sensus' advanced scale manufacturing capacity is keeping pace with the rapid adoption of the FlexNet product line. Industry Standards— Sensus suppo�ts your requirements for ANSI metering, Zigbee HAN, IP backhaul and IP endpoint addressability. Further, the flexibility of our endpoints, collectors, and overall systems architecture position City of Renton to support other standards and protocol conversion requirements in the future. Water Vision— Successfully executing City of Renton's vision for water carries with it a set of end- customer expectations that are deep and wide. Experience matters. The expectations include robust compatibility� with Sensus and competitive installed-base water meters, plus a range of companion execution issues including local stocking, delivery, senrice, installation, and relationship. Sensus is the number one supplier of water meters in the world and importantly has successfully installed 800,000 FlexNet water endpoints. Sensus has a complete understanding of the expectations and the delivery mechanisms and has boots on the ground in Renton with the expertise already in place to actually execute this vision as City of Renton's partner. Sensus will enable City of Renton to achieve the vision of offsetting some O&M costs without having to employ a new set of unexpected overhead and expertise to implement the plan. Security — Sensus' wide range of utility engagements has culminated in a second generation of AMI enterprise security for FlexNet. To the best of our knowledge, the Sensus multi-layered security architecture ... complete with AES256K and PKI ... is unrivaled. It represents true industry leadership for City of Renton's deployment and affords City of Renton the best possible risk mitigation for the future. Company — Sensus believes its long history of sustained operation, its varied sources of revenue domestic and international, iYs breadth of customer base, and its publicly available financials accrue to City of Renton's benefit in choosing a sustainable partner for the long term. The City of Renton currently has a Sensus interface to Springbrook, additionally another Springbrook user Fife, WA is alreadV using FlexNet to send billing information to Springbrook. The FlexNet Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply _ 1 � Cify of Renton Water Meter Automafed Meter Reading System Step 1 Proposal Evaluation Criteria FlexWare software will automatically provide reading data for Renton's CIS system in ASCII and/or .csv file format as directed by Renton. FlexNet uses Microsoft SQL 2005 (soon to be 2008) as the underlying relational database. The FlexNet system can provide account number, transmitter ID number port number, billing cycle or route number, meter number, meter readings, error codes or flags, date and time for each meter reading, and tamper indications, but does not typically provide "unable-to-read" code as this is typically a field that a meter reader would manually enter upon reading a route with a handheld or mobile device. The fields required from the Renton CIS system in the route file are: • Account Number • Service Address • Meter ID number • Meter Type (register manufacturer code letter — B for Sensus) • Endpoint Number • Endpoint Type (optional — a constant "B" can be set in the software) • Service Type (optional — a constant "W" can be set in the software) • Billing Cycle number ( required in order to return same to CIS) Please see document "MDM Import/Export Fields" attached in Section viii, Appendix 6 for more information on optional fields and additional fields available for export. The file layout and format is completely flexible, and can be easily changed without programming if there are changes to the Renton CIS system in the future, or if additional fields are needed. Field length and format can be adjusted to fit existing parameters. See document "MDM Import/Export fields" attached in Section viii, Appendix 6 for maximum field lengths. Field position is adjustable•and will be matched to the format desired by Renton's CIS system. Sensus plans to match the existing file interface format that Rentan is using for the existing Sensus meter reading equipment. This will ensure a smooth transition from the current Sensus equipment to the new FlexNet system. Additionally, Sensus can set up a database view (or multiple database views) with any of the available database fields for Renton if this is helpful. A FlexNet database dictionary is available upon request, and Sensus support staff can assist Renton in setting up different database views if desired. The FlexNet software is web-based does not require the installation of any software onto individual workstations. The servers running the FlexNet system will be fully integrated into the existing Renton network to allow for full network access. The FlexWare software is designed to be very powerful and extremely easy to use. Routes, reports and notifications can be automated, and users can subscribe to distribution lists for various reports and query results. A host of useful reports and queries are available for users at any time. The FlexNet system database retains at least 13 months of hourly reading data for analysis. The FlexNet system is capable of deliverinq a very high percentage (averaging 99.5% hourly reading interval success across Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 1 1 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Step 1 Proposal Evaluation Criteria 172+ currently FlexNet deployments) of hourly readings from every meter in the system, so these reports and queries benefit from this very complete set of data. A data file export can be set up for 3rd party software, such as work order management systems. A CMEP export is also available. Any unread meters (such as meters not yet converted to FlexNet) can be automaticaliy loaded to a Sensus handheld for meter reading if desired, and an installation route can be loaded onto a handheld to facilitate installation services. The City of Renton has excellent sites for the FlexNet system. For example the Highland's tank, a Tower Gateway Base Station installed at this location would service over 12,000 of the 18,000 proposed services! Sensus used (and attached in Section viii, Appendix 5) detailed propagation studies that indicate the best design for full coverage is three (3) Tower Gateway Basestation (TGB) using existing Renton Water Tanks. This is not an "estimate". All FlexNet systems delivered carry a minimum performance guarantee. If the system requires more infrastructure to reach this minimum level of performance, Sensus will provide and install the equipment at no charge to the City of Renton. Each TGB has the capacity to serve to 70,000 individual meters delivering hourly readings. Typical operating range varies from 2 miles to 30 miles for pit set water meters depending on TGB antenna height, topography, foliage, and building density in the service area. One of the many benefits of the FlexNet system is the overlapping coverage provided by the TGB network. Typically, any given meter will be heard by an average of 1.5 TGBs, resulting in very robust communications. In fact, over more than 172 Utility deployments in No�th America, FlexNet systems have an average of 99.5% hourly reading interval success for more than 3 million deployed meters to date. FlexNet features "All Faths AlwaysT"'" communication, which means that any meter endpoint transmission can be received by any TGB in the system without the need for pre-programmed routing or subscription lists. Pole-top repeaters can be added if needed to provide additional signal propagation in weaker areas without the need for an additional TGB. The small number of TGBs required to cover the service area will reduce overall system lifetime costs dramatically. Long term recurring fees for backhaul and power will be much lower than with any other system. The system has been proven across more than 172 utility deployments, including more than 100 water deployments in North America. The FlexNet system operates on an advanced database platform that can be manipulated for any use that Renton desires. The integration with utility billing is one example of this capability, being able to export information in any form required by the billing software (either fixed width or CSV). With the current use of Springbrook, no changes will need to be done to integrate the Sensus FlexNet system into the current configuration of Springbrook. Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 12 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System _ Step 1 Proposal Evaluation Criteria Additionally, All FlexNet endpoints are programmed with their specific GIS coordinates upon activation. This is used to help locate the endpoints and also for use with the diagnostic mapping tools available in the FlexWare software. The endpoints regularly transmit their GIS coordinates to the FlexNet RNI where they are stored in the database and used for various diagnostic functions. The FlexNet system can easily export GIS coordinates of ineters either by flat text file, report or database view for the City of Renton as desired. Sensus will work with the City of Renton to develop any number of possible interface methods for the GIS data. Sensus has already demonstrated....and will continue to employ on-air upgrades of radio modulations, collector software, and RF spectrum frequencies that provide flexibility to increase performance and speed without adding additional collectors. This is not possible with competitive mesh systems. With competitive systems the architecture you deploy on day one is identical to the system you endure in year 20. With Sensus you have multiple options over time to upgrade the system. FlexNet currently supports remote firmware upgrades to water endpoints without a field visit. Successful firmware upgrade capability is a key differentiator versus competitive systems. The Sensus system is "full duplex" and permits the firmware upgrade capability while simultaneously maintaining the meter reading and two-way. Many competitive systems are half duplex and the firmware upgrade functionality may inhibit meter reading functions. Sensus also offers an optional FlexServer Customer Web Portal for the City of Renton water customers and utility personnel. This web portal allows Renton water customers to view their own, up- to-date individual consumption in a number of different ways on their computers or smart phones. It also allows Renton customers to set up custom alerts, receive messages from the utility, and will even allow the City of Renton to deliver information to consumers via in-home display devices. The FlexServer platform will be available in the 4th quarter of 2009, and offers true benefits to end user and the utility in terms of conservation and customer service. The FlexServer platform also gives the City of Renton Utility personnel another platform to view and analyze data, set up customer alerts for different usage conditions, notify end users of boil water alerts, maintenance in different pressure zones, water restrictions or other important messages. � United Pipe & Supply is fully capable of ineeting all bonding and insurance needs required by the City of Renton on this AMR project. Given the current project schedule, the bonding requirements can either be handled on a phased deployment or over multiple years. All bonding and insurance is managed by Fullerton & Company Insurance.

The project was for a one time mass deployment of FlexNet to automate 100% of the cities Sensus TouchRead meters currently in use. The system design prior to deployment showed that the city would require only one (1) TGB in conjunction with three (3) repeaters. This was a system performance guarantee provided by Sensus which protected the city if additional equipment would be provided to ensure 100% coverage. After deployment, it was determined that the system was doing so well, that only two (2) repeaters would be required for full coverage. The refund of the third repeater was offered to the city. After some thought, the city decided to keep the third unit as a backup. The deployment phase of the operation was carefully planned out prior to equipment arriving. The entire operation was scheduled around the billing cycle of Utility. Billing. The installation of the Tower Gateway Basestation (TGB) and Regional Network Interface (RNI) were scheduled months in advance and completed on time and on schedule. With the infrastructure in place, SmartPoint radios started deployment on November 24, 2008. If the weather can be recalled at that time, we faced a good snow storm and heavy flooding during the two (2) month install timeframe. Even with these obstacles, the installation contractor was able to finish the installation on January 23, 2009. The project finished on time and was ready for full billing integration. 1 �'-i?`.a`f:tr , J :: Y�J : " � 1. ; � . ...

Include any charts, graphs or illusfrafions that would help communicate fhe information requested. Under normal operation, FlexNet endpoints read the meter register each hour, and transmit six (6) times per day. While other systems provide only one transmit mode and frequency, FlexNet can take advantage of multiple transmit modes and separate frequency channels for each type of inessage (inbound, outbound, alarm, etc.). This increases bandwidth, reduces data collisions, and improves overall system performance, reliability and capacity. , By using multiple transmission modes, FlexNet provides the most reliable and robust communications possible with the least amount of collection infrastructure. The different endpoint transmit modes are: • Normal Mode — A 2 Watt transmission at normal data rate in the normal transmit frequency • Buddy Mode — A 2 Watt transmission at normal data rate in the alternate transmit frequency (can be repeated by an FNP repeater) • Boost Mode — A 2 Watt transmission at '/z data rate in the normal transmit frequency (can double or triple range). Transmit modes are determined automatically at the time of installation by the field installation tools, using real-time two-way communication to the TGB nefinrork. Transmit mode and interval can also be changed at any time via finro-way communication to the endpoint (automatically or manually). All available modes are covered by the 20 year battery and endpoint warranty. Often, endpoints will use a mix of the three modes throughout the day (for example, 3 Normal, 1 Buddy, and 1 Boost mode transmission) to ensure that a transmission is received by the TGB network. By using these separate modes, the system can be tuned to deliver excellent throughput with the least amount of collection infrastructure. Sensus has demonstrated this reliability at more than 172 deployed FlexNet networks in North America. FlexNet delivers hourly meter readings by default (24 readings per day) while maintaining a finrenty (20) year nationally published endpoint and battery warranty. The hourly data is transmitted at least every 5 hours from every endpoint, keeping overall system reading latency very low. In contrast, other systems may transmit reading data only one time per day or have a reduced warranty while operating in hourly profile mode. Additionally, FlexNet features "All Paths AlwaysTM'" communications, which means that any endpoint can communicate with any piece of collection infrastructure. For example, for Renton Sensus has designed a collection nefinrork with overlapping coverage. There are no pre-determined routes for the endpoints to follow when reporting in over the air. A single endpoint transmission can be received by one or all Tower Gateway Basestations (TGBs) seamlessly. Additionally, any FNP repeaters deployed in the service area can repeat a"buddy mode° transmission to any TGB in the service area. Each FlexNet TGB has the capacity to serve at least 70,000 individual meters. Other systems use complicated routing tables, subscriber lists, or have other capacity or range limitations on the collection network which prevents the same type of redundancy and overlapping Copyrighf0 2009 United Pipe 8 Supp/y 21 City of Renton Water Meter Automafed Meter Reading System Technical Specification ;i��i F��Sj--Vr� t�!�lt�l���i--�1��1�!���{�!��-af��� �< < _.-. ��� r r�- �'�.� , � r ' !�� ���:.�-�',�ll.���i'1�1�1,1��rrs�x: �.° �2�( „-i�°r19�)_, :�° �y•r�>-� .�`'� fi � � - � ` 1 r;� a s 'f} '- � +' . _. .?:•`5.._-Si...3^.'..°�:,o..�., _':s�- t.,_�-:,.. ... ..� . _ . .��� The default reading interval of the FlexNet system is one reading per hour. The endpoints transmit the hourly reading history up to six (6) times per day. Each transmission contains up to seven (7) days of hourly reading history to allow for backfill in the event a transmission is missed. Sensus has demonstrated over 99.5% houriy success across more than 172 deployed systems and 3 Million meters. This is unmatched by any other system available on the market. The endpoint reading and transmit interval can be changed remotely via finro-way transmission to the endpoint. Individual meters or batches of ineters can be reprogrammed remotely to a number of different reading and transmit intervals. 0 Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 22 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification "Off-Cycle" or "On-Demand" readings can be obtained in a number of different ways. First, since FlexNet endpoints transmit their hourly reading data every four (4) to five (5) hours, overall reading latency is very low for all meters on the network. It is very likely there will already be a very current reading waiting in the FlexNet database at the time an off-cycle reading is needed. The user can look up the specific meter under review and choose the most appropriate reading available in the database. However, if a more current reading is needed, the user can directly poll an individual meter endpoint or batch of ineter endpoints over the FlexNet 2-way network. Turn-around for on-demand readings direct to the meter is very low on the FlexNet nefinrork due to the nature of the full-duplex two-way communications architecture. '`' Additionally, FlexNet can take adyantage of 35 Watts (300 effective) outbound transmit power from the �':J1� TGB nefinrork to the endpoints. Other systems are limited to 1 Watt outbound transmit power due to 2-:�=�� Secondary use license restrictions. FlexNet operates on Primary use FCC licenses and therefore can :�` use 35 times the outbound transmit power of any other system. This is important because endpoint t::�;. �; receiver antennas are much less sensitive than "collector" antennas, and additional power is often >}:��. required to reach pit set water meters even when inbound transmissions from the same endpoints can -=��: reach the "collectors".

The FlexNet nationally published twenty (20) year endpoint and battery warranty covers hourly reading profiles for all meters on the network at all times and for all available transmit modes. . The hourly reading profile will be transmitted every four (4) to five (5) hours from every meter on the nefinrork. The hourly information can be displayed in either graphical or tabular views. Renton can remotely modify the reading and transmit intervals (for example 15 minute reading intervals) for individual meters or batches of ineters. Changes to the reading and transmit interval can be made remotely over the network or locally at the endpoint. Copyrigh(O 2009 United Pipe & Supply 23 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification FlexNet uses Primary Use FCC licensed spectrum exclusively. Sensus maintains national and regional frequencies for the FlexNet system. For Renton, Sensus will employ our regional MAS Spectrum which uses 932.2125 MHz and 941.2125 MHz. Inbound transmissions from the endpoints use 932.2125 MHz, and outbound messages from the network (and "buddy mode" transmissions from endpoints) use 941.2125 MHz. This separate spectrum for inbound and outbound messages enhance overall throughput and future capability, and also allows for full-duplex, 2-way transmissions that are not available with other AMI nefinrorks. No other AMI system offers full-duplex two-way communications. Additionally, FlexNet offers multiple communications channels within the allotted spectrum to further enhance throughput and allow more advance communications than other nefinrorks. Scheduled reading messages use one part of the spectrum and proactive alarm messages a separate part of the speetrum. Outbound messages use dedicated channels as do broadcast control messages to the TGBs and other ancillary devices such as repeaters (if used). No other system features multiple communications channels for different types of traffic.

Sensus already holds all the necessary frequencies for the Renton network. Complete FCC license maintenance and renewal is included in the FlexNet support contract outlined in this RFP response. Renton will not be responsible for maintaining any FCC licenses for the FlexNet system. Sensus will perform this maintenance for as long as Renton maintains a FlexNet support cbntract. FlexNet endpoints transmit at up to two (2) Watts of power, which is double that of any other AMI system on the market. Additionally, outbound transmissions (from the network to endpoints in the field) can use up to thirty-five (35) Watts of power, which translates to an effective output of up to three-hundred (300) Watts due to gain available from the FlexNet TGB antennas. All other AMI networks are limited to 1 Watt of power for inbound and outbound transmissions. This is because all other AMI networks operate on secondary use FCC licenses if they are even licensed at all, while FlexNet utilizes primary use licensed frequencies. Outbound power is important because endpoint receiver antennas are not as sensitive as "collector" antennas. If a network is set up to minimize collectors, and the endpoints have just enough range to reach the collector at 1 Watt of power, it is less likely that the network will be able to reach the collector at 1 Watt of power, given the much lower sensitivity of the endpoint receiver antenna. This means that systems that can only use 1 Watt of outbound power must use even more collectors to enable two- way operation. FlexNet, with 35 Watts (300+ Watts effective) outbound power, allows true two-way communication with minimal infrastructure. This will reduce overall network costs significantly over time, and ensure a much more robust and reliable network. FlexNet is a field proven system, with over 172 active utility deployments in North America to date. FlexNet endpoints also feature multiple transmission modes to increase transmission success without the need to add additional collectors. "Normal Mode" uses the normal transmit frequency at 2 Watts of power at the normal data rate: "BoosY' mode uses the normal transmit frequency at'/ data rate. This can double or triple range. "Buddy" mode uses the alternate transmit frequency at normal data rate. "Buddy" transmissions can be received by repeaters which retransmit the message in "Normal" mode, where they can be received by any TGB. Endpoint transmission mode is set automatically at endpoint installation via real-time performance data relayed to the 2-way field tool by the TGB. In addition to having double the transmit power of any other system, FlexNet TGBs also offer the highest receiver sensitivity available. TGB receiver sensitivity is -121 d6. Each -3 d6 of sensitivity can double range. FlexNet features patented 7-Level. Frequency Shift Keying (7-FSK) RF modulation and packet compression which allows a large amount of information to be sent in a very short transmission. This modulation also provides superior data security, as it cannot be decoded by off-the-shelf RF equipment.

FlexNet provides a prog�ammable leak detection feature built in to every SmartPoint radio connected to a meter. The leak detection software monitors a programmable period of time to determine if a constant consumption of water is being detected from an individual meter. The sample interval and consumption amount are both programmable and can be set during installation or through the two-way network after installation. The flexibility of programming this feature is necessary to ensure that false leak detection flags are not reported in commercial or high usage applications. The leak detection flags can be viewed multiple ways. They will be available through a leak detection report and will be reported back individually once a leak is detected. The city will also have the ability to view past leaks at an individual or group of ineters. Copyrigh(O 2009 United Pipe & Supp/y 2% Cify of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification �� Extended leak detection capabilities are available outside this RFP that will enable the city to monitor leaks in the distribution system. The leak detection equipment is called PermaLog+ and is an acoustical monitoring system that can be temporarily or permanently deployed throughout the system. These devices monitor for leaks during the nighttime hours when usage is at a minimum. If a leak is found the PermaLog+ system will radio back through the FlexNet system notifying operations of a possible leak and it approximate location and flow rate. Operations will then need to visit the site using a correlator to determine the exact location and depth of the leak. CopyrightOO 2009 Unifed Pipe 8 Supply 2g City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Figure 2: System Flag V�dindow Technical Specification The FlexNet system software is designed to facilitate conservation with a number of user-definable queries and automated reporting functions. Users can specify. certain conditions and subscribe to reports that are generated and delivered automatically. The FlexNet system database retains a minimum o# 13 months of hourly history that can be accessed by customizable queries, reports and charts for detailed analysis. The FlexNet system can detect and report on all of the following conditions: • Backflow • High/Low Usage Exceptions (based on usage history of specific accounts) • Broken Pipe (extremely high usage over short period of time) • Zero Usage over any definable period • Register Malfunction • Endpoint/Register Mismatch • Cut wire between register and endpoint • Usage over or under a definable percentage last week, month, year (per account) • Battery Voltage of every endpoint (measured at load for best accuracy) • Endpoint Temperature • Signal-to-Noise ratio for every transmission (and SNR average for every endpoint over a 30 day period) o Can be displayed in tabular or Google Earth map format — see Google Earth Deployment Map below Overall System Statistics The Overall System Statistics provides a view of the sy,stem performance. Individual meters can be selected, and the report can be sorted by many different criteria.

To display information for a specific meter or tower, click on the For TGB drop-down menu and select either a location or a specific TGB. Sample g�aphs include: • Average SNR vs. Overall Throughput: This scatter plot shows the Average SNR versus the Overall Throughput. Intuitively, there are some expected behaviors which indicate how the system is performing. ' • Distance to Closest TGB vs. Overall Throughput: This is graph is similar to the Average SNR vs. Overall Throughput scatter plot except the distance is being observed. There are some intuitive conclusions here as well. It makes sense that the further away the meter is, the lower the throughput will be • SNR vs. MaxRG (1 day): The SNR versus MaxRG (1 day) scatter plot shows, over a 30-day window, the biggest gap within the last day. MaxRG is the largest gap between two read bearing messages • SNR vs. MaxRG (7 days): The SNR versus MaxRG (7 days) scatter plot shows, over a 30-day window, the biggest gap within the last seven days. MaxRG is the largest gap between two read bearing messages • SNR vs. MaxRG (24 Hour Data Only): The SNR versus MaxRG (24 Hour Data Only) scatter plot shows the biggest gap within the last 24 hours.

To view the stale meter count, move the mouse over the bars. For more detailed statistics and information, click on the blue bars Overall SyStem Profile On a continuous basis, the collected data is analyzed against performance thresholds defined in FlexWare. The sum of all defined thresholds creates an overall performance profile. These profiles define acceptable performance characteristics on a given element type. Profiles can specify performance characteristics across multiple collection periods to catch intermittent problems that are not typically severe enough to cause a major performance problem. When thresholds defined in FlexWare are exceeded, an alert in the GUI is raised. Thresholds may be defined for any performance parameters available for analysis within FlexWare. Profiles are defined using distinct parameters for electricity, gas and water. The FlexWare diagnostics system raises and presents alerts to allow network operators to take meaningful and informed action when required. When alert conditions change or abate, FlexWare diagnostics modifies or clears the alert. FlexNet Meter Performance Tracking The FlexNet system tracks the following parameters for every meter in the system: Read Interval Success (RIS): A measure of read interval success. RIS is a percentage that is calculated by taking the "Number of Read Intervals Received" divided by "Number of Read Intervals Expected" over a given time period, multiplied by 100 to arrive at a percentage. A read interval is based on the sample rate of a FlexNet radio. If a FlexNet radio is configured to sample the meter reading every hour, then the number of intervals expected is 24. RIS is typically calculated using the past 30 days of inessage traffic to give an overall picture of interval success Raw Transmit Success (RAV�: A measure of raw transmit success. With FlexNet, the read sample rate and transmit rates are typically decoupled. Sample rate may be hourly, while transmit rate may be four times per day. Each transmission eontains up to seven (7) days of hourly reading history. Raw transmit success is a measure of transmit success divided by transmit attempts, multiplied by 100 to arrive at a percentage. It is possible for a meter to have a very low RAW percentage and still maintain a 100% Read interval success. This is due to the reading history included with every transmission. Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR): Compares the level of a desired signal (in this case the transmission of read data) to the level of background noise. Meters with a higher SNR to the tower will provide meter reads more reliably than meters with weaker SNR values. An extremelv week SNR is considered 8 db or lower, a weak SNR will range from 8 to 10 db, a Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 34 City of Renton Water Meter Aufomated Meter Reading System Technical Specification � moderate SNR will be 10 to 12 db and a good SNR will be above 12 db GIS Meter Data A report can be generated which includes the specific GIS coordinates for every installed meter. • Latitude: The latitude as reported by the meter. (The meter is programmed with this information during installation and setup and re-transmits it regularly to ensure that it is maintained in the database) • Longitude: The longitude as reported by the meter. (The meter is programmed with this information during installation and setup and re-transmits it regularly to ensure that it is maintained in the database) Other Monitoring & Healfh Reports FlexWare includes many additional monitoring and health reports, including: • Statistics Reports • SNR Histograms • Time Between TX Histograms • Signal Metrics History Graphs • Missed Message/Throughput History Graphs • SNR Time Plots • Time Plots • TGB Status • Overall System Statistics • Message Counts Operating temperature for 520X SmartPoint - Radio The SmartPoint radio can fully operate at temperatures of -30° F to +165° F or -34° C to +74° C.

There are more than 12 million Sensus endpoints (mobile and fixed) using this same battery type installed throughout North America. The endpoint battery is completely sealed inside the HDPE endpoint enclosure for water resistance. The battery is not field replaceable (Sensus does offer a unit that has a field replaceable battery, but we are not recommending this for this project). Every SmartPoint carries a nationally published twenty (20) year battery warranty (10 year full and 10 year pro-rated). If a SmartPoint battery fails within the warranty period, the entire endpoint is replaced. FlexNet Water endpoints provide 24 readings per day for 20 years (hourly reading), delivered up to 6 times per day under the nationally published warranty.

Disposal of the batteries will be managed by the Sensus RMA department for any warranty SmartPoints for the first 20 years. After this point, additional services will be provided to exchange the expired SmartPoint for new material through United Pipe & Supply and Sensus. The health of the battery is monitored constantly over the life of the SmartPoint. The battery level is measured while the SmartPoint is under full load to ensure the most accurate measurement. If the radio determines that the battery has reached a low capacity, a low battery warning is transmitted back to the RNI for notification. The warning will display until the SmartPoint is replaced. FlexNet SmartPoints read the meter registers hourly, and transmit four (4) to five (5) times per day. Each transmission contains up to seven (7) days hourly reading history for redundancy. If a transmission is missed, the subsequent transmissions will fill in the missing reading data at the Head- End. Using this mode of operation, FlexNet has been able to deliver better than 99.5% hourly reading interval success across more than 172 deployments with over 3 Million FlexNet SmartPoints deployed. FlexNet provides for true hourly reading delivery (24 readings per day delivered to the head end) while maintaining a twenty (20) year battery warranty. There is no need to turn on or off hourly reading capability to maintain the twenty year battery life. Other systems may require users to communicate with the network to deliver hourly data for short periods, and then turn off this functionality to maintain battery life. t �� � h w �: T r�-a�t�tr(��a�f��(e' ��������Y�� l!��1�'. ); iil.:`�G:��i:;�ijeZ'yr =.j�'ie� ..��..-�.�...^.7. ,•.�� .••��� _"'''—'�-ti': :.Y_,:.'._;i' ��.��-j r;~��,!��-`i l'J t-����.

The Model 520X is designed for pit set environments and is availabie for both a single port and dual port operation. The Model 520X is designed to maximize performance in a fixed base environment. In order to achieve maximum performance, the Model 520X must be installed through the pit lid. The unit can be installed with either a TouchCoupler connection or wire connection. The TouchCoupler connection is a simple plug-n-play installation while the wire connection required for non-Sensus registers will require the use of 3M Gel Caps for splicing in order to ensure long term water tight connections.

During the activation process the SmartPoint: • Verifies the meter connection to each port and will notify the installer if one port is not responding correctly • Setup the transmission mode that it will transmit dependent on the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) between the SmartPoint and the TGB's • Store the GPS location of the installation • Setup the Leak Detection parameters that the installer has preprogrammed Once the installation is complete, the install software will notify the installer if the installation was successful. If a problem does not allow for a complete install, the software will report the problem. This will give the installer the opportunity to repair the problem and start the installation procedures again until a successful installation is reported.

With the use of Sensus ICE register throughout a large portion of the current system, the TouchCoupler connection will be the recommended and dominant connection type that will be used. The TouchCoupler connection will allow for a simple transition of .the Touchpad from one radio to another with no tools required. If the 3-wire connection is used, the old 3M GelCaps will need to be removed and new GelGaps used to reconnect the register to the new SmartPoint. In the GelCap installation the GelCaps will be required along with wire strippers and a GelCap crimping tool for proper crimping of the GelCaps. Once the meter connections are completed, the radio must be activated following the supplied activation procedures.

Sensus FlexNet endpoints are designed to be installed through the pit lid to provide maximum range and reliability. This allows Renton to use pit lids of any composition (cast iron, steel, concrete, poly, etc) as necessary. Endpoints may be installed under the pit lid if necessary, but Sensus recommends the units only be installed through the pit lid for maximum performance. FlexNet propagation studies are performed with the assumption that endpoints will be instalfed through the pit lid. Pole top repeaters (FNPs) can be used in areas of weak signal propagation to extend range if necessary. Sensus FlexNet endpoints transmit at up to two (2) Watts of power on Primary Use licensed frequencies. This is double the power of any other AMI system on the market, and results in the greatest range available from any system under any conditions (e.g. through the lid, under the lid, inside, in basements, etc).

The TouchCoupler Connection also eliminates the possibility of corrosion, misconnection or disruption of the connection due to water intrusion. Sensus has more than 15 years experience in pit-set water radio design, and the TouchCoupler system was designed to eliminate these problems that are common with other connection methods.

With the certification from both manufactures, Sensus can ensure that no damage will be caused by either device over the lift of the material. Copyright0 2009 United Pipe 8 Supply 53 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification v.3. Fixed Network Radio Data Collector — The City owns a number of towers/facilities that may be used for locating fixed network data collectors. Location information is available from the City upon request and will be furnished upon the completion of a confidentiality statement. The City prefers that, to the extent practical, these existing sites be used for the mounting of fixed radio data collector units. Fixed radio data collection units must be mounted on roofs, utility poles, towers, etc., at sufficient height and density to enable the City to collect readings from all meters in that portion of its service territory designed for use by this system. The System Vendor is responsible for estimating the number and location of fixed data collectors required in the City's service territory. The City may assist the System Vendor in securing sites for collectors at sites other than City owned property. The City intends to avoid locations where leasing arrangements must be made. In water meter applications, the Tower Gateway Base Station (TGB) is a transceiver that receives transmission from the meters in predetermined intervals, and allows for "on demand" readings. TGBs are strategically located within an area to insure coverage requirements are achieved. The units can be housed on typical communications towers and/or on a utility's property should they meet the criteria for installation. Once the data is received at the TGB, the TGB Linux computer forwards the information, by virtually any backhaul method, to the Regional Network Interface (RNI) located at Renton City Hall. The TGB was designed to ensure data integrity and reliability. The system assures that data will not be lost and can be held for extended periods of time. Instead of collecting, storing, and forwarding data, the TGB provides a live, two-way communication path to the RNI. However, in the event that communication is disabled, the TGB can store up to 30 days of data; TGB data can be downloaded directly via laptop computer if the disruption continues for an extended period of time. The TGB is also equipped with a minimum 8-hour battery backup. If there are multiple TGBs in the coverage area, neighboring TGBs can accept and process data if required. The TGB microprocessors employ multiple levels of access control to ensure system security. A Secure Shell Login (SSH) allows only authorized users to directly access the TGB data. Furthermore, all received data is time-stamped with the receive time, Time of Intercept (TOI), and then forwarded. Each data packet is uniquely identified with a customer mask combined with the TGB identification. Data stored on the TGB remains encrypted; the encryption keys are never stored on the same equipment as the data. Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 54 City of Renton Water Meter Automafed Meter Reading Sysfem Technical Specification Comply. Sensus employs primary and back-up communications from the TGBs to the RNI. The communications employ a standard TCP/IP connection as the primary form of communication with a back-up communication using a 56K modem line. The primary communication can be accomplished using many different forms such as Fiber Optics, Wireless, Point-To-Point RF, DSL, Phone line, Cable and any other form that uses a TCP/IP communication method. Since the sites selected for use that were provided by the city all have access to fiber optic communication (Highlands Reservoir, Rolling Hills Reservoir, West Hills Reservoir), the primary communication will use the cities fiber optic network. The city will be required provide an Ethernet connection to each TGB site as described in the Statement of Work attached in Section viii, Appendix 4. !!�x'! :.��.i°�'!r.�t! . �-. . � ., .•..,. � >;�� ��:,:_, `;_.�;:ae ;M��ICa��[�ai._ �1�-���...�..j���-,. �. l�i�.l.�ac��,�itl4 „!t') Y?'{...�'���'���1'1� •.�J,.�'��!)Ft�����4)+�� "r����i�! ��1 i��.�'rr,.� r �'-. .,� 7�•�,.•� i � " -} t ej��r . r�7 i ���� y �i� �n - t � � ' r r i ;: . r f' � fi�,<._�,i ,x�-i�•e..,4-rr?"c.rrT.xW .�,:r.:�r�.,�k..! xq4$v �_��r.'�r.�r,i_t.����._-'>_r_.,.. . .�.r�_` .

For example the Highland's tank, a Tower Gateway Base Station installed at this location would service over 12,000 of the 18,000 proposed services! Sensus used (and attached in Section viii, Appendix 5) detailed propagation studies that indicate the best design for full coverage. The results of the propagation study shows that three (3) Tower Gateway Basestation (TGB) and three (3) FlexNet Network Portals (FNP Repeaters) are required for 100 % coverage. . This is not an "estimate": All FlexNet systems delivered carry a minimum performance guarantee. If the system requires more infrastructure to reach this minimum level of performance, Sensus will provide and install the equipment at no charge to the City of Renton. Each TGB has the capacity to serve to 70,000 individual meters delivering hourly reaiiings. Typical operating range varies from 2 miles to 30 miles for pit set water meters depending on TGB antenna height, topography, foliage, and building density in the service area. One of the many benefits of the FlexNet system is the overlapping coverage provided by the TGB nefinrork. Typically, any given meter will be heard by an average of 1.5 TGBs, resulting in very robust communications. In fact, over more than 172 Utility deployments in North America, FlexNet systems have an averaQe of 99.5% hourly reading interval success for more than 3 million deployed meters to Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 55 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification date. FlexNet features "All Paths AlwaysT"'" communication, which means that any meter endpoint transmission can be received by any TGB in the system without the need for pre-programmed routing or subscription lists. FNP pole-top repeaters can be added if needed to provide additional signal propagation in weaker areas without the need for an additional TGB. The small number of TGBs required to cover the service area will reduce overall system lifetime costs dramatically. Long term recurring fees for backhaul and power will be much lower than with any other system. The system has been proven across more than 172 utility deployments, including more than 100 water deployments in North America. TGBs consist of a cabinet that installed at ground level and an antenna connected to the cabinet via coaxial RF cable. TGBs are available in indoor and outdoor configurations. If shelter exists at the TGB location, an indoor unit may be used. If shelter is not available, an NEMA-4 outdoor unit may be used. Since the TGB cabinets are located at ground level, they do not require the use of a bucket truck during routine service and maintenance. The TGB cabinet can be installed up to 300 feet away from the TGB antenna, making it the most flexible AMI "collector' available. Additionally, the TGBs are extremely robust, giving the FlexNet system the best reliability (proven across more than 172 utility deployments to date) of any other AMI system on the market. � Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 56 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification T���� ���������� ��s���.a�:o�� - T'�� V;;d . .. . _ _,......___.. � °*��-+Yt.�Yr?{ .,. ....... � ...r� ',: ;- �+ �� �}� ........ .._ a'�;4;�,. •�; �.K ... y� ' . w�'� _�ti� 3Y .. ,:5 C'.1�.� '��. . . . �j� :"��.�'a%,J.. �t:`� . � . i�'� WC•y�;��+e c� � . ��a ;;�' s � �z� � �; ��,; :: �< ,y' F r b?i�`', . . � �. 4�, _,. .�': � ..��, �-'." �7 �..^'�N� r r�f �• � ��� f,,H,�'`.y'�:;::.`•= �� P SFy � sy`f-{� 3.

TGB antennas have been installed on buildings, water tanks, communications towers, city park light poles, as well as other structures. Sensus includes TGB installation, project management, and system testing in the TGB purchase price, and the FlexNet infrastructure (collection network and Head-End) is delivered "turnkey". All system configuration and testing is performed by Sensus. TGBs are AC Powered. TGBs have at least 8 hours of on-board battery backup in the event of a primary power failure. At least thirty (30) days of hourly data from at least 70,000 meters can be stored on non-volatile memory on the TGB in the event the backhaul connection to the head-end is lost or the head-end is unavailable. Additionally, all FlexNet water endpoints send up to seven (7) days of hourly reading history in every transmission. The entire TGB network can be down for up to seven (7) days with no data lost. No other system provides this level of redundancy and reliability. Copyrigh[O 2009 United Pipe & Supp/y 57 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System C �"' Indcor��TGB�Car�;n`t� Technical Specification aaia�snou la�pOWe['a�iO�a�tlata�CCol le'cte�lreri FlexNet requires very few TGBs to cover the entire Renton service area, and this reduces overall power costs for the nefinrork over the long term. Indoor TGB Input AC Power Requirements: • 90-265 VAC 45-65 Hz, 120 or 240 VAC Nominal • Supplied with standard 120 V grounded line cord, 10 feet. • (240 VAC power cords available, specify plug) • 85 Watts idle or receive only (typical operation) • 225 Watts @100% transmit duty • 500 Watts maximum during backup battery charge No programming of TGBs is required by the City of Renton. Sensus will configure and maintain the TGB network under the terms of the FlexNet support agreement. TGBs do not require routing tables or subscriber lists. TGBs maintain a live TCP/IP backhaul connection with the Head-End RNI servers. All data received is immediately forwarded to the Head- End RNI upon reception. If the TCP/IP backhaul connection is down, the TGBs will store at least 30 days of hourly readings for up to 70,000 individual meters. This provides superior reliability, and in more than 172 deployed networks across North America, this reliability has been repeatedly proven with excellent results. The City of Renton will not be required to install TGBs or other FlexNet collection equipment. All TGBs and repeaters (if needed) will be installed, configured and tested by Sensus or Sensus contracted personnel. If system performance does not meet promised levels, Sensus will provide and install additional collection equipment as necessary to meet specified levels. All TGBs are installed by qualified Sensus Project Managers and Contractors. TGBs are constructed using field proven, "industrial grade" modular RF equipment and connectors. TGBs are equipped with at least 8 hours of on-board battery backup power which acts as an "uninterruptible power supply" for the TGB unit. Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 5 g City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification TGBs are grounded at the TGB cabinet and at the coaxial antenna cable to provide superior electrical isolation and protection from lightning. Additionally, a polyphaser is used in line to reduce the risk of lightning damage. All TGB electrical connections are installed according to state, federal and �local codes by licensed electricians. The City of Renton will not be required to install TGBs or other FlexNet collection equipment. All TGBs and repeaters (if needed) will be installed, configured and tested by Sensus or Sensus contracted personnel. If system performance does not meet promised levels, Sensus will provide and install additional collection equipment as necessary to meet specified levels.

Once the initial phase is completed, the city can continue to deploy within this coverage area until the next predetermined site is needed. Each stage of deployment will be marked with a TGB installation until full coverage has been achieved. As determined by the propagation study, the City of Renton will require three (3) TGB's to provide full coverage of the entire service area. The TGB's can be deployed at any pace as long as coverage is provided for installation. The completed propagation studies are attached in Section viii, Appendix 5.

Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 61 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Mefer Reading System Figure 2G: Ert;,e System Cover�ge Sensus will provide installation of each TGB through a contracted installer. They will require site preparation from the city to ensure proper installation. All details of the requirements are covered in the attached Statement of Work in Section viii, Appendix 4. Technical Specification v.4. AMR System Radio Licenses - The City requires the System Vendor to secure on behalf of the City all radio licenses necessary to operate the AMR system on frequencies that will be sufficiently free of noise and interference so as to provide all proposed capabilities over the life of this system. 0 � FlexNet operates exclusively on Primary Use FCC licensed frequencies. All necessary licenses have already been acquired. Sensus maintains both Nationwide and Regional licenses for FlexNet. These Primary Use licensed frequencies provide dramatically better range and reliability, and eliminate the risk that the system performance will change over time due to interference. No other AMI system on the market provides this level of protection. FlexNet is the only AMI system that operates on Primary Use licensed FCC frequencies. All other licensed AMI systems operate on secondary use license, which means that another entity other than the AMI vendor is the Primary License holder. This introduces significant risk for the utility AMI system. Sensus provides the use of all FCC licenses and provides FCC licensing maintenance under the terms of the FlexNet support contract proposed. v.5. AMR Control Unit — The AMR system will be operated from a control unit (s), which will be a server (s). This unit (s) may be the same one used to manage all reading collection devices. It may be the same one used to control the AMR Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 62 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification system installation. The unit (s) must have sufficient capacity to handle all of the City's meter readings, including future expansion capability as the City grows. Sensus typically provides the AMR Control Unit (called the FlexNet Regional Network Interface — RNI) server hardware pre-loaded with the necessary software for the FlexNet system. This arrangement simplifies installation and ensures that the hardware configuration meets the required parameters. The RNI consists of 2 5eparate Dell 2950 Blade Servers. The first server, called the Nefinrork Controller (NC) handles communications between the TGB network and the Database Server and also acts as the Web Server platform for the FlexWare software. The Database Server (DB) provides the platForm for the FlexNet database. The FlexNet RNI also includes a Powervault MD1000 RAID data storage array consisting of 15 73GB Hard Drives for data security. It is possible to run RNI in a virtual environment; however Sensus typically provides both RNI servers and the Powervault data storage array pre-loaded with all software for simplicity. The Network Controller (NC) server runs Linux Red Hat Enterprise Edition operating system, and may need to be run on the physical server based on the requirements of this RFP. The Database Server (DB) runs Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition and could be run in the virtual environment described in this RFP. � Sensus typically provides all RNI server hardware and software required as part of the FlexNet system. This allows Sensus to easily support the RNI in the future and allows for common platforms and the ability to have stocked spares in the event disaster recovery is required. The specifications of the RNI are as follows: • Database (DB) Server Hardware (1 each): 0 2U Dell 2950 (Quad Core Xeon E5420 Processo�Lx6MB Cache), 2.5GHz, 1333MHz FSB, PE2950 (223-4490),16GB 667MHz (8x2GB), Dual Ranked DIMMs, 6x 73G6 15K RPM Serial-Attach SCSI 3Gbps 3.5-in HotPlug HardDrive. o Redundant PS, Rails, basic support, Perc 5/i, PERC4eDC 2Ext, Ext SCSI cable, DVD ROM • Operating System: o Win2K3 R2 64 bit + 25 Licenses (Cals) • Database Software: o SQL2K5 Enterprise Edition 64 + 25 Cals o OLP WIN SVR CAL 2008 SNGL NL USER CAL (A1531436) (25 Cals) o SQL SVR ENTERPRISE EDTN 2005 WIN32 ENG OLP NL (A0575436) o SQL CAL 2005 WIN32 ENG OLP NL U CAL (A0575283) (25 Cals) • Network Controller (NC) Server Hardware (1 each): 0 2U Dell 2950 Quad Core Xeon E5420 Processor2x6MB Cache, 2.5GHz, 1333MHz FSB, PE2950 (223�490)), 8G6 667MHz,Dual Ranked Fully Buffered DIMMs, 6x 73G6 15K RPM Serial-Attach SCSI 3Gbps 3.5-in HotPlug HardDrive. o Redundant PS, Rails, basic support, PERC 5/i, DVD ROM • Network Controller Operating System: � Copyrighi0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 63 City of Renton Wafer Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification o Red Hat Enterprise • Data Storage Array: o PowerVault Storage Array MD1000, Rack, 3U, 15 73G HD Bay External SAS/SATA Storaqe Array with Locking BezeL _ SMI� ❑ � The FlexNet RNI consists of two (2) separate Dell 2950 Blade servers and a PowerVauit MD1000 Data storage array. These devices are typically installed in standard computer server rack and require approximately 5 to 7 rack spaces. Typically all hardware and software required for the RNI servers is provided as part of the FlexNet system. The servers are shipped pre-loaded with all software. Sensus Project Managers and technical staff typically perform RNI server installation, configuration and testing. The RNI installation and configuration is included in the purchase cost of the system. ;y i �: i ii,;:�l��:t �y�lf;i�(�l�� -•t« ,., -- '.; :�"='::;�ti � : , ::r �. . . _.. � . -, The FlexNet RNI is capable of residing as a node on the City of Renton's existing data communications network.

The FlexNet RNI is capable of operating in a normal office environment. The RNI servers are rack- mounted and typically installed in a utility data center or server room. The RNI servers can be easily moved to a new location, and software can be quickly and easily transferred to another server if necessary. See Appendix A, Section 3 for RNI hardware warranty. Copyright �O 2009 United Pipe 8 Supply 64 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification v.6. AMR System Software — System Vendor must provide all soflware, including third party soffinrare such as operating system, relational database management system, and database report generator, necessary for City staff to operate and manage the AMR system. [Exception: See the above discussion regarding the City providing the infrastructure for a MS Windows Server / MS SQL Server based system]. This software must include interFaces to the City's customer information system to enable transfer of ineter readings, synchronization of databases, customer service functions, measures to protect data security, etc. Software must be provided with all licenses, and must be maintained by the AMR System Vendor over the life of the system. The City will provide the record layout for its CIS and expects the System Vendor to tailor an interface from its AMR system software to the CIS [See the discussion below regarding subcontracting with Springbrook Soffware, Inc to accomplish this task]: The City IT staff will work closely with the System Vendor to ensure that this is accomplished efificiently. However, the System Vendor is solely responsible for ensuring that data from its system is being transferred properly to the City's CIS system. The software must be able to manage a minimum of 25,000 accounts and be expandable. �����i-t:��o �o �:�,�� uu� Batch Processing The normal operation of the Meter Data Management (MDM) software system of the RNI is to perform batch meter reading and prepare for processing by the Springbrook billing software. The MDM performs this almost identically to the current Sensus AutoRead software currently being used by the city. The routes that are currently created by the Springbrook software to go into the AutoRead software will be diverted to the MDM software as SmartPoint radios are installed. The batch processing will provide the last reading reported back to the system by default. In modifying the default settings, billing can select which day or group of days in which to select the billable reading for. This allows for billing on a set schedule each month for a more precise billing period. If Renton would like to bill on the 15th of each month and it happens to lay on a Saturday, the system will give you the capability to generate bills weeks later if necessary. The steps necessary for batch processing are: 1. Create Route File in Springbrook using the current processes and layouts currently used with the Sensus AutoRead system. This process will go unchanged in using the FlexNet system and will be a big savings to the city during the transition phase from Drive-By to FlexNet. Transfer the file to the MDM for processing. 2. Open Internet Explorer through any city computer connected to the city network and log into Copyright0 2009 United Pipe 6 Supply 65 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification the MDM. 3. Import the route from Springbrook. . 4. Select which day you would like readings from and perform the read command to generate a meter reading file for Springbrook. Additionally, a preset list of reports is generated in a PDF form for viewing and printing automatically. 5. Transfer the readings file to the computer selected for generating bills in Springbrook and import the reads using the impo�t.command in Springbrook. The layout of this file will be unchanged from the current file layout currently being used for the AutoRead Drive-By system This will be a big savings to the city during the transition phase from Drive-By to FlexNet. If individual accounts need further review, the user can choose to select individual accounts and view consumption graphs and tables in 6 Month, Monthly, Weekly, Daily and Hourly windows. The account can be found through multiple search options as well as sortable lists for each route. Single Meter Reading Query If an individual meter reading or history is needed, the user can perform a query by searching by SmartPoint Radio ID #, Register ID # or Account Number. The user will have the option of either looking at past history in graph or table form, current usage reported that current day or retrieve the current reading using the two-way operation of the FlexNet system. This operation is possible for both services within the Springbrook software as well as new services that have yet to be entered into Springbrook. User Defined Groups One feature of the batch processing is the capability of grouping meters together to monitor separate groups of ineters for additional analysis. The Springbrook billing software is capable of allowing for this feature and is managed through the routes of Springbrook. The City of Fife has done this using Springbrook V6.02 to monitor different meter groups for unauthorized usage and consumption violations. Some of their meter groups include Single Family, Multi FarFlily, Commercial, Irrigation, Government, Industrial and Deduct Meters. A screenshot of the City of Fife is attached below.

Figure 22: File Inter��e Additionally, Sensus can set up a database view (or multiple database views) with any of the available database fields for Renton if this is helpful. A FlexNet database dictionary is available upon request, and Sensus support staff can assist Renton in setting up different database views if desired. � Typical arrangements for synchronizing data between the reading database and the CIS system �`� , involve the transfer of a flat ASCII file between the FlexNet system and the CIS system at the end of '�- each billing cycle. This can be a manual or scheduled (automated) event, depending on Renton's '- preferences. Near the end of a given billing cycle, a route file is generated from the Renton CIS system containing the most u-to-date customer information for the c cle. This file is moved to the FlexNet server via Copyrigh[OO 2009 United Pipe 8 Supply 69 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification FTP application (typically FileZilla or similar). The route file is then imported into the FlexNet system. A reading date is chosen (usually this date is pre-set according to Renton preferences) and the reading data processed on the FlexNet system. A reading file is then generated from the FlexNet system onto the FlexNet server. The reading file is moved from the FlexNet server back to the Renton CIS system via FTP application. The reading file is then imported into the Renton CIS system. The FlexWare user interface is web-based, and can be re-started by simply closing the internet browser window and opening a new one. The user then logs back into the FlexWare software and resumes operation. In the event that the software running on the FlexNet RNI servers requires restart, Sensus AMR Services personnel can log in remotely via secure VPN connection and restart the software via command line or server reboot. Alternately, Renton staff may perform this operation if desired, but Sensus AMR Support staff are available 24/7 to assist. The need for this type of software or hardware restart and recovery is extremely rare due to the robust design of the FlexNet RNI and software. � The maximum number of concurrent users is only limited by the specific design of the RNI. Sensus will provide licenses for up to 25 concurrent users in the proposed solution, but this number can easily be increased if desired by purchasing additional Client Access Licenses (CALS) from Microsoft for Windows Server and Windows SQL used on the RNI. �ara The FlexWare software is web-based does not require the installation of any software onto individual workstations. The FlexWare software is designed to be very powerful and extremely easy to use. Routes, reports and notifications can be automated, and users can subscribe to distribution lists for various reports and query results. A host of useful reports.and queries are available for users at any time. The FlexNet system database retains at least 13 months of hourly reading data for analysis. The FlexNet system is capable of delivering a very high percentage (averaging 99.5% hourly reading interval success across 172+ currently FlexNet deployments) of hourly readings from every meter in the system, so these Copyrigh[OO 2009 United Pipe & Supply . 70 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading Systern Technical Specification reports and queries benefit from this very complete set of data. A data file export can be set up for 3`� party software, such as work order management systems. A CMEP export is also available. Any unread meters (such as meters not yet converted to FlexNet) can be automatically loaded to a Sensus handheld for meter reading if desired, and an installation route can be loaded onto a handheld to facilitate installation services.

The FlexWare software allows a wide range of tools to view and analyze meter reading data collected via the FlexNet system. For security no users are able to modify or delete meter reading data collected by the system via the FlexWare software tools. All configuration parameters, such as interface format and data import/export scheduling are password protected by specific user level. There are 3 security levels provided in the FlexWare software: • Administrator — Full Rights • 2-Way User — Rights to view Readings, process route information, edit I/O, edit schedules and run two-way commands CopyrightOO 2009 United Pipe 8 Supp/y %9 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification t �.,..,:. . `� �+ r i I,� ;}� i.f L" � I��� i#�+���.! �(��Y."� � i ;; _. r , -. ��� � .

This assumes hourlv reading intervals and two-way functionality for 100% of the meters within the Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply g� City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading Sysfem Technical Specification Renton system. The standard data retention is 13 months of hourly data, but Renton can opt to archive additional months of data if desired. To provide additional data retention, Renton will need to deploy a separate dedicated server for extended data retention. This is necessary to ensure optimum performance of the MDM services. The FlexNet system offers the best redundancy and reliability or any AMI system on the market. The same system proposed for Renton is currently being used by more than 172 different utilities from large Investor Owned Utilities such as Southern Company (more than 1 Million FlexNet meters deployed to date), to small municipalities like Fife, WA (2,350 FlexNet meters). The FlexNet reading data is protected in a number of ways. First, each endpoint sends up to seven (7) days worth of hourly reading data in every transmission. If a problem on the TGB network or RNI occurs, endpoints will automatically backfill up to 7 days worth of data with no user intervention. Second, each TGB has at least eight (8) hours of on board battery backup and at least thirty (30) days of non-volatile hourly meter reading storage for up to 50,000 individual meters. Third, the RNI consists of multiple blade servers with redundant hard drive arrays (including a dedicated RAID storage array) to prevent data loss. Sensus encourages the City of Renton to set up additional backups if desired. Sensus IT Project Managers will work with the City of Renton to develop a backup scheme that fully meets Renton IT guidelines.

The system also provides a "broken pipe" alarm that is configurable according to the meter or property size. This can detect usage in excess of the maximum typical flow over a certain number of intervals. Backflow alarms can also be set in the endpoint to detect reverse flow, and are configurable by amount of backflow and number of intervals. FlexNet also provides a number of user-definable queries that allow a user to compare the current consumption values to values from prior periods within the thirteen (13) month period stored in the FlexNet database. Users can be automatically notified if a meter's use falls outside of normal levels. These queries can use absolute values or the individual meter account history to determine if readings Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supp/y 93 City of Renton Water Mete� Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification are outside of "normal" levels. Users can view query results on the fly or set the desired parameters and be notified automatically via email or text message.

This report can be very effective at flagging questionable usage. The "Consumption" report provided will also show meter rollovers and consumption amounts in the chosen meter reading resolution. Optional FlexServer Platform Additionally, Renton may use the optional Sensus FlexServer platform to trap questionable readings and notify utility personnel automatically, as well as the consumers themselves. Alerts can be set up which identify specific criteria for each account, or for all accounts within a specific group (such as "residential meters" for example). A threshold (either a Cubic Foot amount per day, week, month, etc, or a dollar amount (determined by City of Renton water rates) can be set up and notifications generated based on these criteria.

There are nine Qraph types which you can select, and are described in detail below. The default graph type is Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 99 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification Average SNR vs. Overall Throughput for all deployed meters and towers. To display information for a specific meter or tower, click on the For TGB drop-down menu and select either a location or a specific TGB. Sample graphs include: • Average SNR vs. Overall Throughpuf: This scatter plot shows the Average SNR versus the Overall Throughput. Intuitively, there are some expected behaviors which indicate how the system is performing. • Distance to Closest TGB vs. Overall Throughput: This is graph is similar to the Average SNR vs. Overall Throughput scatter plot except the distance is being observed. There are some intuitive conclusions here as well. It makes sense that the further away the meter is, the lower the throughput will be • SNR vs. MaxRG (1 day): The SNR versus MaxRG (1 day) scatter plot shows, over a 30-day window, the biggest gap within the last day. MaxRG is the largest gap between two read bearing messages • SNR vs. MaxRG (7 days): The SNR versus MaxRG (7 days) scatter plot shows, over a 30-day window, the biggest gap within the last seven days. MaxRG is the largest gap between two read bearing messages • SNR vs. MaxRG (24 Hour Data Only): The SNR versus MaxRG (24 Hour Data Only) scatter plot shows the biggest gap within the last 24 hours. MaxRG is the largest gap between two read bearing messages • SNR vs. Hours Stale (32 Hours): The SNR versus Hours Stale (32 Hours) scatter plot indicates how long ago a read bearing message was received within the last 32 hours • SNR vs. Days Stale (7 days): The SNR versus Days Stale (7 Days) scatter plot indicates how long ago a read bearing message was received within the last seven days • SNR vs. Buddy Client Count: The SNR versus Buddy Client Count scatter plot indicates the number of different meters for which the buddy meter has forwarded messages • Stale Meter Histograms: The Stale Meter Histograms illustrate how the system is doing as a whole. The histograms indicate the number of ineters stale within the last four hours. The blue bars of the histogram represent the actual number of stale meters within the last four hours. The grey bars represent the theoretical number of stale meters based on an equation which calculates the percentage of inessages that can be expected. To view the stale meter count, move the mouse over the bars. For more detailed statistics and information, click on the blue bars Overall System Pro�le On a continuous basis, the collected data is analyzed against performance thresholds defined in FlexWare. The sum of all defined thresholds creates an overall performance profile. These profiles define acceptable pertormance characteristics on a given element type. Profiles can specify Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 1 �� City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification performance characteristics across multiple collection periods to catch intermittent problems that are not typically severe enough to cause a major performance problem. When thresholds defined in FlexWare are exceeded, an alert in the GUI is raised. Thresholds may be defined for any performance.parameters available for analysis within FlexWare. Profiles are defined using distinct parameters for electricity, gas and water. The FlexWare diagnostics system raises and presents alerts to allow network operators to take meaningful and informed action when required. When alert conditions change or abate, FlexWare diagnostics modifies or clears the alert. FlexNet Meter Performance Tracking The FlexNet system tracks the following parameters for every meter in the system: Read Interval Success (RIS): A measure of read interval success. RIS is a percentage that is calculated by taking the "Number of Read Intervals Received" divided by "Number of Read Intervals Expected" over a given time period, multiplied by 100 to arrive at a percentage. A read interval is based on the sample rate of a FlexNet radio. If a FlexNet radio is configured to sample the meter reading every hour, then the number of intervals expected is 24. RIS is typically calculated using the. past 30 days of inessage traffic to give an overall picture of interval success Raw Transmit Success (RAW): A measure of raw transmits success. With FlexNet, the read sample rate and transmit rates are typically decoupled. Sample rate may be hourly, while transmit rate may be four times per day. Each transmission contains up to seven (7) days of hourly reading history. Raw transmit success is a measure of transmit success divided by transmit attempts, multiplied by 100 to arrive at a percentage. It is possible for a meter to have a very low RAW percentage and still maintain a 100% Read interval success. This is due to the reading history included with every transmission. • Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR): Compares the level of a desired signal (in this case the transmission of read data) to the level of background noise. Meters with a higher SNR to the tower will provide meter reads more reliably than meters with weaker SNR values. An extremely week SNR is considered 8 db or lower, a weak SNR will range from 8 to 10 db, a moderate SNR will be 10 to 12 db and a good SNR will be above 12 db. GIS Meter Data A report containing the GIS coordinates of every meter in the system can be generated af any time. Latitude: The latitude as reported by the meter. (The endpoint is programmed with this information during installation and setup and re-transmits it regularly to ensure that it is maintained in the database) Longitude: The longitude as reported by the meter. (The endpoint is programmed with this information during installation and setup and re-transmits it regularly to ensure that it is maintained in the database) Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 1 � 1 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification Other Monitoring � Health Reports FlexWare includes many additional monitoring and health reports, including: • Statistics Reports ' • SNR Histograms • Time Befinreen TX Histograms • Signal Metrics History Graphs • Missed Message/Throughput History Graphs • SNR Time Plots • Time Plots • TGB Status • Overall System Statistics • Message Counts Diagnostics Summary FlexWare enables monitoring, control, and testing of all AMI network communications elements throughout Renton's AMI network. FlexWare supports Renton's needs by providing a common architectural framework for integrating AMI network management processes (alarm notification, system maintenance, user.administration, command and control, reporting, and generic notification services) across a common user interface. Renton can benefit from the simple architecture, reliable performance and flexible.reporting to maintain optimal performance of the AMI network.

This is used to help locate the endpoints and also for use with the diagnostic mapping tools available in the FlexWare software described above. The endpoints regularly transmit their GIS coordinates to the FlexNet RNI where they are stored in the database and used for various diagnostic functions including the Diagnostic map shown below. The FlexNet system can easily export GIS coordinates of ineters either by flat text file, report or database .view for the City of Renton as desired. Sensus will work with the City of Renton to develop any number of possible interface methods for the GIS data. The GIS coordinate accuracy and datum depends on the GPS receiver of the handheld used in conjunction with the FlexNet CommandLinkT"' field tool at the time of activation. Sensus allows the use of any compatible Windows Mobile 6 handheld with the FlexNet CommandLinkTM' field tool. The Sensus 5501 handheld offers 3 to 5 meter accuracy and uses the WGS84 datum.

Copyrighf0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 113 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technica! Specification The FlexNet system is the most reliable AMI system available on the market today. This has been demonstrated at more than 172 individual utility deployments in North America. Sensus has shipped more than 3 Million FlexNet endpoints to date, and deployed more than 400 TGBs. One of the highlights of the FlexNet system is the extremely low number of collection points required to cover Renton's service area. Since there are very few TGBs deployed, this radically reduces the amount of preventative maintenance that must be performed to keep the system running. This also radically lowers the number of backhaul connections required, which lowers long term system costs dramatically. In fact, Sensus has demonstrated a better than 10 to 1 coverage ratio to other systems, meaning that for every 10 backhaul connections required by other systems, only 1 will be required for FlexNet. Copyrighf0 2009 United Pipe 8 Supply 114 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification Preventative maintenance provisions for the TGBs include: • Monitoring backhaul connection status (facilitated by FlexNet automated system monitoring alerts) • Check email regularly for FlexNet ONMS alerts issued by the system • Checking transceiver fans and filters and clean if necessary (recommended every 6 months) • Checking fans for smooth operation (recommended every 6 months) • Checking backup battery terminals for corrosion (recommended every 6 months) • Check for warning lights and tighten any loose nuts or bolts (recommended every 6 months) • Verifying RF antenna cabling and antenna is secure (recommended every 6 months) • Checking emergency intake and exhaust fan filters — Outdoor TGBs only (recommended every 6 months) • Checking and cleaning the Air Conditioner Condenser Intake filter (located outside of unit) — Outdoor TGBs only; tlie TGB will issue an alarm if this filter.becomes clogged and condenser temperatures rise above 170°F. (recommended every 6 months) • Testing emergency intake and exhaust fans — Outdoor TGBs only (recommended every 6 months) • Checking results of automated backup battery tests — Outdoor TGBs only (recommended every 6 months). • Replacing TGB backup batteries (approximately every 10 years). Preventative Maintenance for the RNI/Software includes: • Checking system throughput (recommended monthly or as desired) • Checking for latest 3�d party software patches and updates — i.e. Microsoft (recommended every 6 months or via automated updates) • Checking for latest Sensus software updates (recommended yearly or as desired).

[When invoicing for contract items, the Contractor shall list the applicable sales separately from the price of the items on the invoice]. Acceptance Milestones and Criteria Milestone 1— Network Deployment Network deployment is achieved when: 1) the three TGBs have been installed; 2) all of the required FNPs have been installed; 3) the RNI has been installed and the system is providing automated meter reading coverage for the entire water service area as was defined in the RFP (water service area polygon). The preliminary __ ... _. .._ . _ --- _ _. _..__.. __.... -- ___ _ _—... City of Renton Automated Meter Reading System Contract estimate of required FNPs is six. Using a Contractor provided propagation study as a guide the City will install endpoints at various locations in the water service area that are estimated to need FNPs in order to communicate with the system. These endpoints in conjunction with the propagation study will be used to determine the sites for the FNPs. Milestone 2— AMI Endpoint Delivery and Installation — Pilot Area AMI endpoint delivery and installation is considered achieved 45 days after the last meter to be automated in the pilot study area has had its endpoint installed by the City. The pilot study area is that area currently assigned route numbers 25 and 31 (approximately 950 meters). Milestone 3 — System Acceptance System acceptance is achieved when the system performance has reached a level of 98.3% (during a three day reading window — see below) or better successful reads in the defined acceptance period. System performance is calculated by dividing the number of installed endpoints that are registered on the network that have successfully provided a reading during a three (3) day reading window by the total number of installed endpoints that are registered on the network. System acceptance will be determined on an individual route basis. A complete route will be installed, optimized and then evaluated for acceptance and accepted before proceeding to the next route installation. The system acceptance reading window period will be a mutually (between the City and the Contractor) agreed upon period not to exceed ninety (90) days after Milestone 2 has been achieved. When calculating the system performance the following exceptions apply. An endpoint will not be included in the count of installed endpoints (included in neither the dividend nor the divisor) if any of the following occur: Its daily reads are lost due to a TGB power failure that lasts more than 24 hours A Force Majeure Event or Act of God affects the endpoint, TGB or RNI The endpoint is removed from service The endpoint is damaged or tampered with The endpoint cannot communicate to the system due to an object being placed over it (e.g., parked automobile) The endpoint is installed in an area outside of the water service area Definitions The definitions set forth below shall apply for the purposes of this Agreement. 1) "AMI or AMI System" means the integrated Sensus Advanced Metering Infrastructure technology and Services consisting of FlexNet, Approved Meters, installation tools, Licensed Software, AMI Equipment, Network Equipment, RNI, TGB and related components. _........_..- - - _-- --- - -- --_ _....---- —_ _------ - . - - ---- -- City of Renton Automated Meter Reading System Contract 2) "FlexNet SmartPoints" means collectively any FlexNet communicating device intended to transmit meter reading and other information as appropriate from water, gas or electricity meters. 3) "Billing Windov�' means, with respect to the three or four day period beginning one or two days prior to, and ending two days following, the Utility's preferred billing day for a particular meter. 4) " Available Meter" means an installed FlexNet Meter or installed SmartPoint satisfying all of the following criteria: a. it functions properly is not damaged or failed or an Unavailable Meter during the Billing Window; b. it is serviced by a TGB or FNP that has not been subjected to a power failure greater than eight (8) continuous hours during the Billing Window; c. neither it, nor the TGB, FNP or any other network equipment that serves that meter has been affected by a Force Majeure Event; d. interference orjamming of the Radio Spectrum is not preventing or interFering with radio communication to or from a SmartPoint, provided that Sensus is diligently working to effect a cure and provides a weekly status report; e. it is installed in a mutually agreed upon coverage area of the Utility as defined in the final propagation study; f. it has not been reported to the applicable Utility under Sensus' or the Utility's preventive maintenance or trouble ticket generation service, unless the parties agree that the reason for the report was resolved before the Billing Window opened or that the meter is functioning normally; g. its functioning or performance has not been adversely affected by a failure of the Utility or its SmartPoint installation team to perform its obligations or tasks for which it is responsible, or to properly maintain network equipment owned by the Utility; h. its functioning or performance has not been adversely affected by a failure or insufficiency of the back haul telecommunications network of the Utility used for communications among the components of the Sensus Network; and i.

Wilson, Water Utility Engineer (ext. 7295) SUBJECT: Automated Meter Reading System Approval of Recommended System and Contract Negotiations ISSUE: Should Council approve the Water Utility's recommendation to select United Pipe and Supply/Sensus Metering Systems as the most highly qualified firm to provide the City with an Automated Meter Reading (AMR) system and authorize staff to negotiate a contract with United Pipe and Supply/Sensus Metering Systems for the acquisition of the AMR system components? RECOMMENDATION: Select United Pipe and Supply/Sensus Metering Systems as the most highly qualified firm to provide the City with an AMR system and authorize staff to negotiate a contract with United Pipe and Supply/Sensus Metering Systems for the acquisition of the AMR system components. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: The purpose of the AMR system is to improve meter reading efficiency, capture water usage data, enhance water conservation activities, and provide timely and accurate billing to our water customers. The AMR system will also allow the City to optimize the pumping of its water supply wells and the operation of its water system. The AMR system will provide data on water usage patterns needed for demand forecasts, planning for long-term water supply options to meet demand from population growth, and development within our service area. Currently, the water system has over 17,000 meters. Don Persson, Council President May 11, 2010 Page 2 of 3 Request for Proposal, Evaluation and Selection Process The Water Utility, with the assistance of a consultant, developed a request for proposal (RFP) package that included the instructions for proposal submission, technical specifications, the process for evaluation of proposals including evaluation criteria with weighting factors, and a description of the selection, negotiation, and contract award process. In April 2009, after obtaining City Attorney approval of the RFP package, the Water Utility advertised the RFP. The City received proposals from eight companies/teams. The City's evaluation team, with members representing functional areas: Utility Billing, Water Operations and Maintenance, Water Engineering and Information Technology, evaluated the eight written proposals and selected the following four companies/teams for further evaluation: Datamatic/Databar; Ferguson Waterworks/Neptune Technology Group; Itron; and United Pipe and Supply/Sensus Metering Systems. During the second phase of the evaluation, the four companies/teams submitted detailed descriptions of the proposed AMR system configurations, implementation plans, and cost proposals. The cost proposals included not only the initial costs but also annual software maintenance fees and estimated replacement costs for a 20-year period. The technical merits of the proposed systems were evaluated independently of the proposed costs. The companies also made oral presentations to the City's evaluation team. The City's project manager condusted telephone interviews with representatives of water systems where AMR systems were installed by each company. The City's evaluation team rated the proposal submitted by United Pipe and Supply/ Sensus Metering System as the best and most advantageous proposal to the City considering functionality, compatibility with the City's existing metering and billing systems, and life cycle costs. Proposed Contract Elements and Schedule for Deployment of AMR System The main tasks and deliverables to be negotiated for the contract include: • Providing and installing system hardware and software for the data management system. • Providing end-point radios. • Providing and installing data collection and routing stations. • Providing the interface between AMR system and the utility billing system. • Training of City water maintenance staff who will be installing portions of the system, and City engineering and utility billing staff who will be using the data management system. Subject to Council's approval of the negotiated contract and of a project budget, the Water Utility plans to deploy the AMR system over a five-year period to reduce impact H:\File Sys\WTR - Drinking Water Utility\WTR-27 - Water Project Files\WTR-27-3499 - Automated Meter Reading System\Contract\Negotiations\Council Approval\final-draft-IssuePaperAMRNegotiations.doc/AGtp Don Persson, Council President May 11, 2010 Page 3 of 3 to the annual budget for capital improvement projects. The five-year schedule includes an initial "pilot" phase. During the pilot phase water maintenance staff will install and set up the end-point radios in two of the existing meter routes and one of the three data collectors will be installed. The first phase will provide us with valuable information with regard to the remainder of the deployment. In the following phases, the task of installing the end-points will be performed by in-house staff and small contracts (i.e., a contract for a particular route using the eCityGov Alliance Small Public Works Roster.) Estimated cost for deployment of AMR system The estimated cost for the full deployment of the AMR system within a five-year schedule is $4.35 million. Of this amount, $2.15 million is for the proposed contract (see proposed contract elements above) and $2.2 million is for installing the end-point radios, replacing some of the meter bodies, and replacing some of the meter registers. The Water Utility has budgeted $900,000 for the AMR project in the 2010 Capital Improvement Program budget (acct #425/455591) to cover the initial "pilot" phase of the project. CONCLUSION: The proposed five-year phased deployment of an Automatic Meter Reading System will allow the City to improve its meter reading efficiency and accuracy, reduce meter reading costs, and provide timely notification to our customers when leaks are found on their service lines. The AMR system will provide the City with valuable information on water use patterns so that we can optimize the operations of existing water resources and plan for long-term water supply options to meet demand forecasts from population growth and development. Council's approval of staff recommendation to select and negotiate a contract with United Pipe and Supply/Sensus Metering Systems for the acquisition of the AMR system components is needed to initiate the project. After the completion of contract negotiations, the Water Utility will report back to Council for approval of the contract. cc: Lys Hornsby, Utility Systems Director JoAnn Wykpisz, PW Principal Financial and Admin Analyst File H:\File Sys\WTR - Drinking Water Utility\WTR-27 - Water Project Files\WTR-27-3499 - Automated Meter Reading System\Contract\Negotiations\Council Approval\final-draft-IssuePaperAMRNegotiations.doc/AGtp _� . :���` ' �Clty �� fr>�� . j _ ..

City Share of Project 100% The Water Utility requests approval of a contract with United Pipe and Supply, Inc., in the amount of $2,388,861.08, to provide all system components for an Automated Meter Reading (AMR) system, including hardware, software, training City staff, project management and consulting services. In accordance with City policies, the Water Utility advertised for request for proposals from vendors of AMR systems. The City's evaluation team reviewed all submitted technical and cost proposals and selected United Pipe and Supply, Inc. as the best and most advantageous proposal to the City considering functionality, compatibility with the City's existing metering and billing systems, and life cycle costs. The Water Utility has budgeted $2,500,000 for the AMR project in the 2011and 2012 Capital Improvement Program budget (account #425/55591) to cover all anticipated expenses in 2011 and 2012 related to the acquisition of the AMR system. To reduce impact to the annual budgets for capital improvement projects, the AMR project will be phased in over a six-year period (2011-2016) and the total budget is $4,600,000. Of this amount, $2,388,861.08 million is for the proposed contract and $2,211,138.92 is for City staff time and materials to be purchased for the installation of the end-point radios, replacing meter bodies and registers as needed for about 17,000 water meters.

Using a Contractor provided propagation study as a guide the City will install endpoints at various locations in the water service area that are estimated to need FNPs in order to communicate with the system. These endpoints in conjunction with the propagation study will be used to determine the sites for the FNPs. Milestone 2—AMI Endpoint Delivery and Installation — Pilot Area AMI endpoint delivery and installation is considered achieved 45 days after the last meter to be automated in the pilot study area has had its endpoint installed by the City. The pilot study area is that area currently assigned route numbers 25 and 31 (approximately 950 meters). Milestone 3 —System Acceptance System acceptance is achieved when the system performance has reached a level of 98.3% (during a three day reading window — see below) or better successful reads in the defined acceptance period. System performance is calculated by dividing the number of installed endpoints that are registered on the network that have successfully provided a reading during a three (3) day reading window by the total number of installed endpoints that are registered on the network. System acceptance will be determined on an individual route basis. A complete route will be installed, optimized and then evaluated for acceptance and accepted before proceeding to the next route installation.

Detailed System Description � United Pipe & Supply and Sensus are pleased to offer the most powerful fixed based U�I��� meter reading system ever developed. Sensus and the City of Renton have had a long and successful relationship for over 20 years. In that time, Renton has gradually P/PE&SUPPLY moved from a manual read environment to a TouchRead and Vehicle RadioRead on a large population of ineters, all using Sensus technology. . in the last 10 years, the metering industry started to embrace the need for AMR but some wanted more. Sensus answered the calling with the introduction of FlexNet 5 years ago. in that time, the few that wanted more reacted and the financial and operational benefits followed. In the first 5 years of operation, the FlexNet system has proven to be a reliable, simple and flexible infrastructure that will adapt to the ever changing needs of utilities big and small. To date, the Sensus FlexNet system has over 3 million endpoints installed with an additional 10 million scheduled for delivery. With all of the advancements and experience that Sensus and United Pipe & Supply have experienced with identical projects, we are confident that we can provide a mature and stabie system. With the advantage of Primary Use Licensed Frequency, Two-Way communication and remote firmware upgrades, the FlexNet system will provide sustainability and adaptability to the constantly changing demands of water meter reading for the entire 20+ year life of the system. 1.1 Equipment & Materiai TGB — Tawer G.�?��;�t�y Base Station The City of Renton will require a very minimal amount of infrastructure with the Sensus FlexNet system. The first part of the system that will be deployed will be the Tower Gateway Base Station (TGB). A total of three (3) TGB's will be required to create an umbrella over the entire service area. Additionally, with the overlapping coverage of the TGB system, each SmartPoint radio attached to a Sensus meter will be heard by an average of 1.5 TGB's. With the All Pass Always technology within the SmartPoint radios, every radio has the capability of being heard by any TGB and is not restricted to a preprogrammed path. This will ensure a very robust system that will able to adapt to the ever changing environment and the rare TGB outage. , Each TGB will come housed in a NEMA outdoor enclose that can be installed either outside or inside. The enclosure will come with a transceiver unit, 8-hour battery backup supply, AC unit, heater, GPS antenna and power supply. All of these components will be able to be monitored remotely to manage the TGB's health and performance. The TGB transceiver's software can be monitored and upgraded remotely, either from the City of Renton or from Sensus Support. The antenna of each TGB will be customized for the best fit for the installation. The two most common types of antennas used are the 10' whip antenna or the panel antennas frequently seen on cell phone towers. The Sensus Project Manager will determine the best fit for each installation during the initial site visits after award of contract. RNI — Regional Network Interface Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply Crty of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Readrng System Step 2 Detailed System Descripfion & lmp/emenfation Plan The City of Renton will be supplied with one (1) RNI system that will be comprised of multiple software packages and two (2) Dell 2950 Blade Servers. The first server, called the Network Controller (NC) handles communications between the TGB network and the Database Server and also acts as the Web Server platform for the FlexWare software. The Database Server (DB) provides the platform for the FlexNet database. The FlexNet RNI also includes a Powervault MD1000 RAID data storage array consisting of 15 73G6 Hard Drives for data security. The software that will run on the RNI will come preinstalled on the supplied Dell Servers. This will include all Operating Systems, FlexWare Software, Database Software as well as all diagnostic software for the FlexNet system. All the licensing for the RNI will include 25 Cals that will be owned by the City of Renton. The operation of the RNI will run under a city specified internal web address. This will allow for anyone within the city network to be granted access to all the meter information collected by the FlexNet system. SmartPoint Rac�ios The Sensus FlexNet radio is designed almost the same as the 520R/510R MXU radio currently being used by Renton in the Sensus VXU Drive-by system. The housing of the FlexNet 520X/510X SmartPoint radio is identical in design and requires the same physical installation as the current radios being used. The differences come when we start to discuss the electronics. The FlexNet SmartPoint radio operates at a 2 Watt transmission level vs. a 200mW level that is currently in use with the Sensus RadioRead MXU. Additionally, the Sensus FlexNet SmartPoint operates on a Primary Use Licensed Frequency that has full protection from the FCC while the Sensus MXU operates on a publicaily shared band frequency with no FCC protection from outside interference. Coupling the 2 watt power transmission with the Primary Use Licensed Frequency allows Sensus to provide the strongest and most reliable system while requiring the least amount of infrastructure on the market today. The Sensus FlexNet SmartPoint will be supplied in a one port and two port configuration. With the assistance of the Renton staff, it has been determined that we can supply an estimated amount of 14,390 single port SmartPoints and 1,510 dual port SmartPoints. The dual port radio can be utilized for meters that are side-by-side or within close proximity. The meters are required to be within 100 feet of the radio to worK correctly, but these distances are not recommended. It is recommended to utilize a dual port when meters are within 6-10 feet from each other. This will ensure a minimum amount of labor for instailation while taking advantage of the cost savings of one less SmartPoint radio. The connection to the meter will utilize the current TouchCoupler connection currently in use by the current Sensus MXU's. This connection type will be able to use any current Sensus meter with a TRPL or TouchRead connection installed. This will ensure a water proof connection over the life of the system. If a direct wired connection is needed for some installations, Sensus can supply a 3-wire configuration that will require a UY2 GelCap connection. For these installations, it is recommended to attach a TRPL end onto the register and utilize the TouchCoupler connection. If Renton needs to replace the register or meter in the future, the city can benefit from the waterproof connection and not rely on the UY2 GelCaps over the life of the system. Field Programming Device " Sensus will supply one complete programming device upon delivery of each TGB unit. As part of the no cost service that United Pipe & Supply provides, the City of Renton will have access to several additional loaner FlexNet installation tools for the "just in case" factor. Each unit supplied by Sensus will come with: Copyright �O 2009 United Pipe & Supply 4 Crty of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Step 2 Detailed System Description & Implementation Plan 1— AR5501 Sensus Handheld Device (Identical to the AR5001 & AR5002 currently used but with Bluetooth connection and some other advancements) 1 — CommandLink Module 1— AR5006 Charging and Communication Stand The AR5501 Sensus Handheld device looks identical in many ways to the current handhelds being used by Renton. The main operational difference between them is the Bluetooth connection capabilities of the newer handheld. The operational similarities allows for Renton to use these supplied handhelds as part of the meter reading process of all the non FlexNet units alongside the current handhelds. They are fully integratable into the current Sensus AutoRead system. The CommandLink Module is the Bluetooth connected device that will activate the SmartPoint radios. The Bluetooth connectivity allows for easy connectivity to multiple devices. It also allows for Renton to perform firmware upgrades as advancements continue to come from the Sensus engineering team. Sensus will supply this unit as an individual part if desired. Many utilities have chosen to utilize existing compatible equipment to produce more field programming devices at a significantly reduced cost. The requirements for a compatible install device are: • Bluetooth Connection Enabled • GPS Receiver • 50MB of free memory • HandHeld or Laptop • Windows Mobile 6/ Windows XP / Windows Vista Sensus has approved some 3�d party installation field computers that have been used by other utilities with great success. These handhelds include: • Sensus AR5501/AR5502 HHD • Trimble Nomad • Juniper Archer FNP — F1�xPtref f4'�t��,�ork Por1:�1 The FlexNet Network Portal is a simple repeater that is designed to provide a repeated signal for any SmartPoint within its range directly to the TGB. These are typically seen in areas isolated from the main service area or within difficult terrain. The City of Renton will require a total of six (6) units to be deployed as marked on the City of Renton Deployment Schedule. The FNP units only require 120VAC to operate and are typically mounted on any outdoor structure 15' to 25' tall. No hard line communication is required for these standalone devices. The Sensus FlexNet 2-way communication will support all communication required for these devices. As deployment continues, the need for these devices will be reduced. United Pipe & Supply and Sensus is suggesting a phased deployment of each of the three (3) TGB's. As the second and third TGB are instailed, some of the hard to reach areas not fully covered by the first TGB will begin to have coverage. At this point, a FNP will no longer be needed for these areas. The City of Renton will then have the option to move the unit to another area or discontinue use. The Sensus Diagnostic maps will assist in determining the need for these units after full deployment. It is recommended to leave all units in service over tfie life of the system as they will only improve the performance of the system. Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply $ City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Step 2 Detailed System Description & Implementation Plan 1.2 IVleter Radio Configurations 520X Pit Set Smart Point Radio The 520X radio is a pit set radio engineered to be mounted through the lid of any material meter box or meter vault lid. This is possible because of the antenna design of the 520X. The lid itself can't be more then 1-3/4" thick with an AMR whole of 1-3/4" in diameter. Any meter box lid currently housing a Sensus RadioRead MXU or Sensus TouchRead pad should not require any modifications for proper installation. Installation of current 520R radios wiil require unplugging the TRPL sensor from the old radio and plugging it into the new 520X SmartPoint without any modification to connections or cables. Additionally, for current TouchRead services the 520X SmartPoint will take the place of the TRPL sensor in the lid. The TRPL sensor will be plugged into the 520X SmartPoint to complete the installation. Please see Page 50 of the RFP response for further details. The 520X radio is capable of connections using the Sensus TouchCoupler communication or using a 3- wire option. For all Sensus meters, the Sensus TouchCoupler connection is highly recommended for long term water proof protection. The 3-wire option is available for meters that do not currently have a TouchCoupler connection currently available. Both configurations come with an option of one or two ports. 590X VVall II�'�aurlt Smart Paint P,aa'io The 510X radio is a wall mount radio engineered to be mounted to a Sensus wall mount Touchpad. These will be found in basements, strip malls and other installations where a meter vault is not appropriate. For installations currently populated with a 510R Sensus MXU, a simple removal of the old device is all that is required to install the new 510X SmartPoint. The 510X radio is capable of connections using the Sensus wall mount Touchpad or using a 3-wire optiorr. Please see Page 51 of the RFP response for further details. 1.3 Communication Be%r�e�n Collectors and Headquar�ers �erver The communication between each TGB and the RNI server is extremely flexible. Each TGB comes standard with a Primary and Secondary backhaul communication port. The primary communication can be accomplished using many different forms such as Fiber Optics, Wireless, Point-To-Point RF, DSL, Phone line, Cable and any other form that uses a static TCP/IP communication method. The secondary communication port is used in periods while the primary communication is down. The optional secondary communication is compatible with a basic 56k modem and provides enough bandwidth for full operation capabilities. In deployment of the Renton TGB sites, both the West Hills Reservoir and Highlands Reservoir will be connected to the existing city fiber optic system for the primary communication. The Rolling Hills Reservoir does not have fiber optic communication at this time. For this installation, a wireless Point-To- Point RF communication will be deployed to provide primary communication back to the RNI. The wireless RF communication is manufactured by AFAR Communications Inc. The model that will be supplied by United Pipe & Supply will be the PuIsAR 24027 wireless Ethernet network and requires no long-term operating or subscription costs. CopyrightOO 2009 United Pipe & Supply 6 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Sfep 2 Detailed System Description & Implementation Plan The City of Renton will have the option to employ the use of the secondary communication. This is not required for the operation of the FlexNet system. With the 7 day history in the SmartPoint radio along with the 30 day history within the TGB, very few opportunities will come up where a secondary communication would be utilized. If the secondary communication is not connected and the primary communication is still not functioning after 30 days, a Renton operator will have the option of puliing meter data locally from the TGB and importing the data into the RNI though a suppiied interface. 1.4 Other Aspects of The FlexNet System The Sensus FlexNet system will come ready to accept additional benefits outside the scope of this RFP. Some of these features can benefit finance and billing while others can benefit operations and engineering. With the FlexNet system becoming more powerful every day, further advancements and features will be driven by the need of the end user, Renton. PermaLog Acoustic Leak Defection Sensus has partnered with Fluid Conservation Solutions in the integration of their PermaLog+ acoustical monitoring system that can be temporarily or permanently deployed throughout the system. These devices monitor for leaks located on the main distribution lines during the nighttime hours when usage is at a minimum. If a leak is found the PermaLog+ system wiil radio back through the FlexNet system notifying operations of a possible leak and it approximate location and fiow rate. Operations will then need to visit the site using a correlator to determine the exact location, depth and volume of the leak. �:::.:,.. . �.:, ,, . {:;;.:�,;,:�- k� -•-. . . . s-;;' ���yi.., -� y � � `y r,5 ',..h.t. ��,cali: ' ,, `���.�: , ��� -- �� r�r ;��M;={;, �1 �:�y�`_ ;�;j ��s.� J,,;j ;� 'r� ,� i , Fiqure 1: PermaLoy Device These devices mount magnetically and can be removed and redeployed to another section of town. Integrating the PermaLog system into the FlexNet system will provide another tool in combating the volume of unaccounted water seen in Renton today. They will also reduce the costs associated with repairs as a more exact leak location will be given reducing the need for digging up streets and other material. Sensus FlexSe►ver Customer Web Porta! Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Suppfy % City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Step 2 Detailed System Description & Implementation Plan Sensus also offers an optional FlexServer Customer Web Portal for the City of Renton water customers and utility personnel. This web portal allows Renton water customers to view their own, up-to-date individual consumption in a number of different ways on their computers or smart phones. It also allows Renton customers to set up custom alerts, receive messages from the utility, and will even allow the City of Renton to deliver information to consumers via in-home display devices. The FlexServer platform will be available in the 4'h quarter of 2009, and offers true benefits to end user and the utility in terms of conservation and customer service. The FlexServer platform also gives the City of Renton Utility personnel another platform to view and analyze data, set up customer alerts for different usage conditions, notify end users of boil water alerts, maintenance in different pressure zones, water restrictions or other important messages. Remote �hui-�;� 1'Glr-� The FlexNet system will come with the ability to communicate to many different devices that Renton may choose to deploy over the next 20 years. In using the 2-Way FlexNet coverage, one type of device currently under development is a remote shutoff valve that will allow Renton to remote disconnect services as needed. The dedicated communication channel with the FlexNet system for these types of 2- Way commands will ensure the quickest response of any system available today.

In that time, they have found many different ways to successfully deploy the FlexNet system, each taking into account the needs of the system owner. The City of Renton will be able to benefit from these experiences. With the completion of the Award of Contract, Sensus will assign an available project manager. At this time, Randy Arntson has been pre-assigned for this project. The Project Manager (PM) will: • Review the signed Statement of Work (SOW) and Customer Acceptance Plan (CAP) with Renton and assist in making any changes that need to be made. • Verify TGB and RNI Delivery Dates • Verify SmartPoint Delivery Dates • Conduct site survey of TGB site locations with City of Renton � Conduct site survey of RNI site location o Verify Static IP address information with City of Renton • Verify SmartPoint Deployment plan o Coordinate project kick-off meeting • Coordinate TGB installation with Sensus subcontractor • Coordinate RNI installation with Sensus technical support staff onsite. • Test communication between the TGB and RNI o Test communication between the RNI and the Springbrook billing software • Setup MDM and FlexWare software • Facilitate phased customer acceptance testing of the FlexNet system The Sensus FlexNet system will be deployed as per the agreed upon criteria of the SOW and CAP. The project manager wiii work with the City of Renton to verify each milestone agreed upon in the CAP. As SmartPoint radios are installed, the PM will manage the optimization phase of the deployment of the installation phase. For a full list. of the Rroject Managers services, piease see page 202 or the Renton. RFP response. 2.2 Phasing of Collectors and Back Office Components The Sensus FlexNet system is flexible enough to be deployed all at once or as a phased deployment. The City of Renton would benefit from a phased deployment due to the volume of routes that can be completed with just one TGB. The first phase of deployment will include the installation of the RNI at City Hall along with the first TGB at the West Hills Reservoir. With these two pieces of equipment installed, the city will be able to install a large portion of the FlexNet radios, included routes 25 and 31 that are currently being read by the Sensus VXU system. The table below shows the coverage of each tower with a phased deployment. This table represents complete coverage of individual routes and is not limited to the routes noted. In many cases, routes will be picked up by all three TGB's.

During this time, the install crew will be trained on proper installation, handheld operation, troubieshooting and verification of endpoint activation. During activation the installation handheld will verify communication and activation with the TGB. During this time the meter and SmartPoint ID, GPS location and signal to noise ratio are logged in the TGB and sent over to the RNI for analysis. If a SmartPoint is not covered by the TGB, the installer will be alerted during installation. Selection of test installations can be done anywhere inside the designated area of the propagation study supplied in the original RFP response on pages 158 to 161. 2.4 Validation of Data Collection and Billing Processing Moments upon installation, the SmartPoint �adio will send setup and binding messages back to the TGB for the next several minutes. Once these messages are received, the SmartPoint radio and attached meters will be entered into the FlexWare software and MDM system for route processing and subsequent billing. The next step will be in entering the instalfation information into the appropriate account in Springbrook. Once the accounts have been updated, the updated routes can then be imported into the Meter Data Management (MDM) interface on the RNI for processing of the selected reading. If the MDM identifies any inconsistencies between what is seen out in the field and the Springbrook database, a Mismatch Report will identify these issues automatically. The utility billing clerk or approved equal can use this report to identify what information needs to be modified to allow for correct billing information. In most cases, the Mismatch report will provide enough information that a physical site visit will not be necessary to validate the meter information. This will be governed by the preferences set at Renton. The billing processing will be almost identical to the current procedures. The Sensus MDM system will manage and process meter reading information in much the same way as the current Sensus AutoRead system. The file layouts between Sensus and Springbrook will also be unchanged from the current layout. This will assist in a smooth transition between the Sensus AutoRead software and the Sensus MDM and FlexWare software. As part of the Project Managers tasks, the interface between the Sensus RNI and Springbrook will be verified before training starts. 2.5 Phasing of "Going Live" By Route As shown in Table 1 above, the City of Renton will have a great deal of routes that will be covered by the first phase of deployment of TGB's. With a total of 35 routes covered by the West Hills TGB alone, Renton will have a large start on deployment. The management of route selection and implementation will be ultimately managed by Renton. Before deployment starts, it is recommended that Renton defines a new route structure for all meters moved over to the FlexNet system. The City of Fife, also a Springbrook user, decided during their FlexNet deployment to section out each of their meters into service types as shown below. Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 11 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Step 2 Detailed System Description & Implementation Plan If Renton chooses to do something similar, the monitoring of irrigation accounts or pressure zones would become extremely easy. Instances of this would be if you wanted to search for large water users in a pressure zone or irrigation account during water restrictions. With all of the current route numbers less than 100, Renton could create a route structure similar to: Group Name Route Number Single Family 100 Multifamily 101 I rrigation 102 Government 103 Commercial 104 Industrial 105 Deduct Meters 106 PermaLog Leak Detection Devices 107 Tabie 2 As installation starts, the installation crew wili work through the walking order of each route selected. As the new meter and radio information is collected and entered, the data entry person will update the route number for that account at the same time. If the time for billing comes and a route is not yet completed, the billing clerk will be able to separate which meters are to be read by each system. For example, if route 25 is half completed and all of the FlexNet accounts on route 25 have been changed to route 104, the billing cierk will send route 25 to the Sensus VXU and route 104 to the FlexNet RNI for completion. Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply I Z City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Figure 3: Us�r Defined Groups for City Of Fifi� I�I Step 2 Defarled System Description & Implementation Plan' � ', Additionally as a backup option, the Sensus FlexWare software can take whole routes and pass on any meters that need to be read by handheld, loading them directly to one of the current Sensus handheld devices owned by Renton.

If additional training is required, Sensus and United Pipe & Supply can provide this training on an as needed basis. Other options include the Sons a e 111rof thehor ginal Renton RFP re ponser FlexNet Customer Forum website as discussed p 9 2.7 Other Pertinent Steps / Components of System Deployment With most system, there may be fine details that can g 0 overlooked in large projects like Renton. With the deployment history of Sensus, these details have been exposed and outiined. In the original RFP 13 CopyrightOO 2009 United Pipe & Supply City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Step 2 Detailed System Descripfion & lmplementation Plan response, United Pipe & Supply included a sample Statement of Work (SOW) starting on page 148. In this document, all of these fine details have been highlighted with a clear understanding of the partnership agreements between Renton and Sensus. Moving forward with the Sensus FlexNet project, part of the Project Managers role will be to review this document with the Renton team and execute the necessary changes and action plans associated with each section. 2.8 Preliminary Project Schedule The overall FlexNet deployment will be extremely flexible. Sensus and United Pipe & Supply have put together a realistic project deployment schedule that will provide a complete coverage network by the beginning of 2012. If the city chooses to move slower or faster than the schedule lays out, the system will have the flexibility to adjust to those needs. As shown above in the route coverage table, the covered routes have been identified for the deployment of TGB's in the order noted. This order is reflected in the deployment schedule attached below.

Ail quantities are estimated and the City may purchase more or less as indicated at the prices quoted, except for the data collectors and repeaters required to establish the communications network for the fixed network system, or any other ancillary equipment needed for a fully functional AMR system, whose quantities will be furnished by the Respondent. The Respondent wiil determine the number of data collectors and repeaters required to achieve the reading performance and frequency requirements established by the City. If additional data collectors and repeaters are required to achieve the stated requirements than originally estimated by the Respondent, the Respondent will be responsible for furnishing and installing any additional collectors and repeaters at their expense. The City will pay for additional collectors and repeaters needed to expand the original service territory, as needed. Indicate "NA" (Not Applicable) if the particular equipment described is not incorporated in the Respondent's proposed AMR system design. Respondent must respond to each line item listed in the cost proposai tables; lump sum proposals will not be accepted. Respondent rnust include any additional equipment or service not listed in the tables below that is required to provide a complete, fully operational and functional system. Pricing is to be firm for the period of the contract, which is estimated to be through December 31, 2015, unless extended by the City. Where future costs are requested, all values are to be provided in 2009 dollars. AMR system equipment purchased under this contract will be based upon orders placed by the City. Deliveries of ordered equipment will be shipped to the City. The Respondent will pay all freight charges for such deliveries, including return of equipment that the City is submitting for warranty replacement.

The pricing in Table 4 represents the maximum dollar amount that the Respondent will charge the Cify for providing rep/acement products and services. Describe in the box be/ow, the methodology fhat was used fo compute the future costs of replacing the noted items. Al/ future values are to be expressed in 2009 dollars. All main infrastructure components are covered under the Sensus F1exNet Maintenance Agreement. Additional costs will occur when the city sees fit to replace the supplied installation equipment. The average replacement timeframe for handheld equipment with Sensus has 5 historically been 10 years. All other material expenses are covered under the Sensus Warranty document as shown on page 125 of the RFP document. All battery replacements will be performed by a warranty replacement of the SmartPoint Radio, identical to the process with warranty replacements with Sensus today. In calculating the replacement cost, a replacement quantity of 5/1000 per year was used as projected by the Sensus engineering team. These costs will only occur with units outside the full replacement value window of 10 years. Please note that a 20 year warranty is covered by all SmartPoint radios, 10 years full and 10 years prorated. Warranty replaced SmartPoint radios will start a new 20 year warranty on that device.

Grady Way Renton, WA 98057 Dear Mr. Wilson: June 10, 2009 Thank you for the opportunity to allow us to present the Sensus F1exNet Solution to the City of Renton. We are pleased to provide this Proposal in response to your RFP for an Automated Meter Reading System solution. Our proposed solution is the F1exNet Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) solution. F1exNet is a fixed-network AMI system in which RF modules communicate directly to a receiver installed at a Tower Gateway Base Station (TGB). From the TGB, the data transmits directly to the utility, not a remote collection facility. F1exNet was designed on the core concepts of Reliability, Flexibility and Simplicity and offers the City of Renton these benefits: ❖ Scalability, with single-tier communications architecture that eliminates thousands of pole- mounted transceivers ❖ Eliminates complex distributed data bases and adaptive networks ❖ Reliability, with overlapping coverage ❖ Sx redundant meter messages ❖ CRC-32, error detection and correction ❖ Primary Use Licensed Frequency to ensure long term reliability ❖ TouchCoupler meter connection technology to ensure a long term factory sealed connection between the existing and future Sensus meters and F1exNet radio unit. No other vendor can match the functionality, reliability, flexibility and simplicity that the FlexNet system offers. The network monitoring and maintenance services, which also includes FlexNet system software maintenance and upgrades, provide the assurance that the system will continue to operate at optimal performance levels for the useful life of the system. We are excited about this opportunity to continue and expand our partnership with the City of Renton and look forward to your feedback on our response.

Executive Sum The City of Renton has enjoyed many years using Sensus meters and has a large ��/��� installation of the Sensus TouchRead and RadioRead system. With the partnership between United Pipe & Supply and Sensus, we have provided the City of Renton with P/PE&SUPPLY local support and service. With the current AMR project being presented, our continued service will enhance the overall experience that United Pipe and Supply and Sensus can provide. iii.a. Brief understanding of the scope of this project. United Pipe & Supply and Sensus both have a clear understanding on how a system of this magnitude needs to be managed and supported. We feel confident that our partnership over the last 24 years will only strengthen the support level that we can provide. The FlexNet solution being proposed will provide the city with a solution unmatched by any other. The total system capabilities will provide true two-way communication between the City of Renton and each water meter installation with a SmartPoint radio allowing for hourly meter reading to be collected and displayed. The Primary Use Licensed Frequency that the FlexNet system operates on coupled with a long time knowledge of installing and operating radios successfully in the Pacific Northwest ensures that the Sensus FlexNet system is the only system with the long term needs and goals of the City of Renton as the number one priority. Similar projects of equal magnitude have been successfully completed in past years. With a 5 year deployment scheduled for Renton, the deployment will be very manageable. United Pipe & Supply and Sensus have the capability to provide installation options that would allow for system wide completion within 1 year if requested by the city. An identical project of a smaller caliber was just completed at the City of Fife. United Pipe & Supply was the general contractor of the project. With the installation of SmartPoints performed by a subcontractor, the installation of 2,350 SmartPoints was completed in a 2 month period, with 100% coverage and success completed before the first billable read in March of 2009. iii.b.

Additionally, if extended services are required throughout fhe deployment process, both United Pipe & Supply and Sensus are capable in providing these additional services. iii.d. Brief summary description of the Respondent's proposed AMR system and implementation plan. The Sensus FlexNet system is an IP-based, multi-application, primary use, FCC licensed fixed AMI system for water systems. The Sensus solution proposed incorporates 172Kbps of system bandwidth which measurably exceeds competitive offerings. This provides Renton with the highest possible system performance for both current and future needs. � Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 4 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Executive Summary The FCC licensed band proposed by Sensus represents a very significant investment by Sensus and a very significant long-term risk mitigation value to Renton. This licensed band solution was not a casual choice, and its importance to Renton cannot be overstated. It was born through 20 years of participating in the ISM unlicensed band and experiencing its deterioration in performance due to the continually rising noise floor. The Sensus design and project operations teams have first=hand knowledge that hard to reach meters are difficult to reliably and economically reach using ISM, and that the noise floor increases will drive the need for the ongoing installation of additionai collectors over the life of the network. Our Sensus team has 70 patents in the area of ISM radio design and proactively chose to discard it (at.great expense) in favor of long term reliability and sustainability afforded by FCC licensed band performance and protection. The software definable radio endpoints in the Sensus solution represent a very significant long-term risk mitigation value to Renton in avoiding stranded hardware assets. We are the first to admit that no one has a perfect view of the future applications and demands on the system over the 15-20 year horizon. What we do know is that endpoint and collector hardware agility and flexibility is paramount to risk avoidance. All the endpoints proposed by Sensus (representing fully two-thirds to three-quarters of your financial investment and risk) contain software definable radios. This endpoint agility is far more than the ability to upgrade firmware. It permits the endpoints to receive new RF modulation improvements over time which hold the promise (and the demonstrated reality) to increase bandwidth, capacity, and performance in support of future applications. It further permits the endpoints to adapt to new licensed spectrum frequencies (up to four simultaneously). Should Sensus and Renton decide at some point to roll-out additional network spectrum, or have the network operate simultaneously on multiple licensed frequencies, the hardware in the ground remains unchanged. We believe Renton fully appreciates the lower total cost of ownership, elimination of backhaul costs, elimination of installation and support hassle, support for backhaul primary to secondary failover, and dramatically reduced O&M points inherent in the Sensus tower-based data coilectors. Sensus would also like to emphasize that the collectors represent a very significant long-term risk mitigation value to Renton in avoiding stranded hardware assets. The Sensus 19" rack mount telecom solution uses proven industry practices for advanced mission-criticai telecom networks. The collector design is agile in support of future changes in bandwidth and capacity. Sensus permits 1) changes to RF modulation Z) additional collectors added to the same Renton tower sites 3) additional collectors added to alternative Renton or third party sites and 4) upgrades to coilectors to support future RF spectrum alternatives and message types. By a very wide margin, Sensus has the largest successful installed base of production AMI networks (172) and endpoints (3,000,000). The Sensus solution has proven its scalability in very large network deployments. Our real-world experience matches our modeling of the network communications and the scalability testing of the head-end system. Sensus has already successfully deployed networks the size of the Renton deployment. Sensus' advanced scale manufacturing capacity is keeping pace with the rapid adoption of the FlexNet product line. Industry Standards — Sensus supports your requirements for ANSI metering, Zigbee HAN, IP backhaul and IP endpoint addressability. Further, the flexibility of our endpoints, collectors, and overall systems architecture position Renton to support other standards and protocol conversion requirements in the future. As an example our Smart Grid Portal roadmap endpoint for adopting installed base distribution equipment assets supports protocol conversion for DNP3 and Modbus. Successfully executing Renton's vision for water is far more than a radio. Experience matters. The expectations include robust compatibility with Sensus and competitive installed-base water meters, plus a Copyrighf0 2009 United Pipe & Supply $ City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Executive Summary range of companion execution issues including local stocking, delivery, service, installation, and relationship. Sensus is the number one supplier of water meters in the world and importantly has successfully installed 800,000 FlexNet water endpoints. Implementation Plan Sensus plans to successfully implement and execute every project in a customer-sensitive manner, while maximizing safety, timeliness and accuracy. Our Operations and Deployment plans are based upon national best practices gained from our experience performing meter changes and AMR/AMI network installations for water, gas and electricity utilities nationwide. Before project start-up, Sensus expects to work closely with our customer to establish an installation plan, installation schedule, project deliverables, accountabilities, clear lines of communication and reporting protocol between the companies. Sensus typically plans 45 days after contract finalization for the start of project deployment. During the mobilization phase of this project the Sensus AMI Program Manager and our Project Site Manager will work closely with the customer's Project Manager, to coordinate all aspects of the project start-up including the following: • Operational review of the contract and scope of work • Coordination with our customer on operating policies and procedures involved in this project • Clearly define team members roles and responsibilities and project deliverables • Development of a project deployment plan (including phased deployment) e Development of a project deployment schedule • Consolidation of the Sensus production schedule with the project schedule • Coordination with our customer on training processes The project depioyment team is trained to ensure that.the implementation utilizes our general operational philosophy and approach, combining the benefits of national best practices and local management. The plan ensures day-to-day supervision and ongoing coordination at the highest levels within Sensus. Sensus' AMR Program Manager will work with the customer's Program Manager in coordinating all aspects of the project start-up and ongoing quality monitoring of the implementation. FIexN�t Deployment Prooess Sensus' program management has significant Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) experience and will employ proven IPPD methods in managing the customer's AMI Program. SMS, and its partners, integrate product activities under program management to simultaneously optimize the product, including its development and implementation in order to meet schedule, performance and cost objectives. Sensus uses empowered cross-functional teams composed of program management, project management, engineering, manufacturing, test, implementation, logistics, procurement, contracts and financial management. These teams are dedicated to a common purpose and objectives for which they are mutually accountabie. The focus is on delivery of a quality product to our customer rather than on the individual disciplines — being on the same page, and promoting timely and knowledgeable program decisions. Copynght0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 6 City of Renton Wate� Meter Automated Meter Reading System Executive Summary Sensus seeks to mitigate risks to the project by employing an elite team of Program and Project Managers with significant experience in industrial, military and commercial program areas of large-scale structured project management. Automated tools for resource management and daily communication are web enabied. Our customer's management and team members will have daily access to information via the web regarding fhe status of the project from a schedule and area of activity point of view. Also viewable are the corrective actions that are being taken to ensure compliance with standards, schedules, and expectations. Sensus and its preferred subcont�actors will work with our customer to create the deployment plan and schedule within 45 days of contract signing. The plan and schedule pay particular attention to the transition planning required to ensure seamless service with minimal awareness and impact upon our customer's customers. Project Monitoring and Review Process Project status reviews take place weekly between the Sensus Program Manager and the designated customer representatives. The reviews focus on progress relative to specified benchmarks and milestones, and identify and discuss strategies employed to resolve any significant issues affecting the smooth deployment of the network and ancillary systems. Data systems are employed to obtain daily data on the status of all aspects of the system deployment. Statistical analysis is employed to ensure that all significant trends are identified as early as possible to permit taking corrective actions at the earliest possibie point in time. This information is shared with all team members and summaries provided to the customer as part of the weekly review meetings. To reduce product supply risk, the Sensus Program Manager coordinates with Sensus Operations Management to review installation schedules to ensure the continuous supply of product for rapid deployment. This approach ensures that product for large-scale deployments remains always readily available for installation. The PM and Operations Management will create a project manufacturing schedule for the project. This schedule will be reviewed on a weekly basis to ensure sufficient buffer stock of transmitters and network elements on site, and therefore available on short notice to keep ahead of the deployment schedule. This apprcach also permits deployment schedule acceleration if all other conditions permit.

Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Step 9 Proposal Evaluation Criteria � :� u�er�� P/P�& Sd/PPLY Section iv. Step 1 Proposal Evaluation Criteria iv.1. System Design Sensus believes it offers the City of Renton an AMI system that will freeze meter reading costs for more than 20 years. We would like to review the Sensus strengths in delivering, sustaining, and protecting the City of Renton's AMI investment. Licensed Band RF — The FCC licensed band proposed by Sensus represents a very significant investment by Sensus and a very significant long-term risk mitigation value to City of Renton. This licensed band solution was not a casual choice, and its importance to City of Renton cannot be overstated. It was born through 20 years of participating in the ISM unlicensed band and experiencing its deterioration in performance due to the continually rising noise floor. The Sensus design and project operations teams have first-hand knowledge that hard to reach meters are difficult to reliably and economically reach using ISM, and that the noise floor increases will drive the need for the ongoing installation of additional collectors over the life of the network. Our Sensus team has 70 patents in the area of ISM radio design and proactively chose to discard it (at great expense) in favor of long term reliability and sustainability afforded by FCC licensed band performance and protection. RF Endpoint Design — All the endpoints proposed by Sensus contain software definable radios. This endpoint agility is far more than the ability to upgrade firmware. It permits the endpoints to receive new RF modulation improvements over time which hold the promise (and the demonstrated reality) to increase bandwidth, capacity, and performance in support of future applications. It further permits the endpoints to adapt to new licensed spectrum frequencies (up to four simultaneously). Should Sensus and City Of Renton decide at some point to roll-out additional network spectrum, or have the network operate simultaneously on multiple licensed frequencies, the hardware in the ground remains unchanged. RF Collector Design — We believe City of Renton fully appreciates the lower total cost of ownership, elimination of backhaul costs, elimination of installation and support hassle, support for backhaul primary to secondary failover, and dramatically reduced O&M points inherent in the Sensus tower- based data collectors. Sensus would also like to emphasize that the collectors represent a very significant long-term risk mitigation value to City of Renton in avoiding stranded hardware assets. The Sensus 19" rack mount telecom solution uses proven industry practices for advanced mission-critical telecom networks. The collector design is agile in support of future changes in bandwidth and capacity. Sensus permits 1) changes to RF modulation 2) additional collectors added to the same City of Renton tower sites 3) additional collectors added to alternative City of Renton or third party_ sites and Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System 0 Sfep 1 Proposal Evaluation Criteria 4) upgrades to collectors to support future RF spectrum alternatives and message types. Storm and Outage — The Sensus solution has been field proven to operate successfully in severe storm and outage incidents. Should City of Renton face storm conditions which create downed power poles you will not lose AMI network .communications. With or without power, the Sensus data collectors will continue to operate from secure City of Renton tower asset locations. Scalability — By a very wide margin, Sensus has the largest successful installed base of production AMI networks (172) and endpoints (3,000,000). The Sensus solution has proven its scalability in very large network deployments. Our real-world experience matches our modeling of the network communications and the scalability testing of the head-end system. Sensus has already successfully deployed networks the size of the City of Renton deployment. Sensus' advanced scale manufacturing capacity is keeping pace with the rapid adoption of the FlexNet product line. Industry Standards— Sensus supports your requirements for ANSI metering, Zigbee HAN, IP backhaul and IP endpoint addressability. Further, the flexibility of our endpoints, collectors, and overall systems architecture position City of Renton to support other standards and protocol conversion requirements in the future. Water Vision— Successfully executing City of Renton's vision for water carries with it a set of end- customer expectations that are deep and wide. Experience matters. The expectations include robust compatibility with Sensus and competitive installed-base water meters, plus a range of companion execution issues including local stocking, delivery, service, installation, and relationship. Sensus is the number one supplier of water meters in the world and importantly has successfully installed 800,000 FlexNet water endpoints. Sensus has a complete understanding of the expectations and the delivery mechanisms and has boots on the ground in Renton with the expertise already in place to actually execute this vision as City of Renton's partner. Sensus will enable City of Renton to achieve the vision of offsetting some O&M costs without having to employ a new set of unexpected overhead and expertise to implement the plan. Security — Sensus' wide range of utility engagements has culminated in a second generation of AMI enterprise security for FlexNet. To the best of our knowledge, the Sensus multi-layered security architecture ... complete with AES256K and PKI ... is unrivaled. It represents true industry leadership for City of Renton's deployment and affords City of Renton the best possible risk mitigation for the future. Company — Sensus believes its long history of sustained operation, its varied sources of revenue domestic and international, iYs breadth of customer base, and its publicly available financials accrue to City of Renton's benefit in choosing a sustainable partner for the long term. The City of Renton currently has a Sensus interface to Springbrook, additionally another Springbrook user Fife, WA is alreadv usinq FlexNet to send billing information to Springbrook. The FlexNet Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 1 � City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Step 9 Proposal Evaluafion Criteria FlexWare software will automatically provide reading data for Renton's CIS system in ASCII and/or .csv file format,as directed by Renton. FlexNet uses Microsoft SQL 2005 (soon to be 2008) as the underlying relational database. The FlexNet system can provide account number, transmitter ID number port number, billing cycle or route number, meter number, meter readings, error codes or flags, date and time for each meter reading, and tamper indications, but does not typically provide "unable-to-read" code as this is typically a field that a meter reader would manually enter upon reading a route with a handheld or mobile device. The fields required from the Renton CIS system in the route file are: • Account Number • Service Address • Meter ID number • Meter Type (register manufacturer code letter — B for Sensus) • Endpoint Number • Endpoint Type (optional — a constant "B" can be set in the software) • Service Type (optional — a constant "W" can be set in the software) • Billing Cycle number ( required in order to return same to CIS) Please see document "MDM Import/Export Fields" attached in Section viii, Appendix 6 for more information on optional fields and additional fields available for export. The file layout and format is completely flexible, and can be easily changed without programming if there are changes to the Renton CIS system in the future, or if additionai fields are needed. Fieid length and format can be adjusted to fit existing parameters. See document "MDM Import/Export fields" attached in Section viii, Appendix 6 for maximum field lengths. Field position is adjustable and will be matched to the format desired by Renton's CIS system. Sensus plans to match the existing file interface format that Rentan is using for the existing Sensus meter reading equipment. This will ensure a smooth transition from the current Sensus equipment to the new FlexNet system. Additionally, Sensus can set up a database view (or multiple database views) with any of the available database fields for Renton if this is helpful. A FlexNet database dictionary is available upon request, and Sensus support staff can assist Renton in setting up different database views if desired. The FlexNet software is web-based does not require the installation of any software onto individual workstations. The servers running the FlexNet system will be fully integrated into the existing Renton network to allow for full nefinrork access. The FlexWare software is designed to be very powerful and extremely easy to use. Routes, reports and notifications can be automated, and users can subscribe to distribution lists for various reports and query results. A host of useful reports and queries are available for users at any time. The FlexNet system database retains at least 13 months of hourly reading data for analysis. The FlexNet system is caoable of deliverinq a very hiqh percentaqe (averaging 99.5% hourly reading interval success across Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Suppty 1 1 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Step 1 Proposal Evaluation Criteria 172+ currently FlexNet deployments) of hourly readings from every meter in the system, so these reports and queries benefit from this very complete set of data. A data file export can be set up for 3rd party software, such as work order management systems. A CMEP export is also available. Any unread meters (such as meters not yet converted to FlexNet) can be automatically loaded to a Sensus handheld for meter reading if desired, and an installation route can be loaded onto a handheld to facilitate installation services. The City of Renton has excellent sites for the FlexNet system. For example the Highland's tank, a Tower Gateway Base Station installed at this location would service over 12,000 of the 18,000 proposed services! Sensus used (and attached in Section viii, Appendix 5) detailed propagation studies that indicate the best design for full coverage is three (3) Tower Gateway Basestation (TGB) using existing Renton Water Tanks. This is not an "estimate". All FlexNet systems delivered carry a minimum performance guarantee. If the system requires more infrastructure to reach this minimum level of performance, Sensus will provide and install the equipment at no charge to the City of Renton. Each TGB has the capacity to serve to 70,000 individual meters delivering hourly readings. Typical operating range varies from 2 miles to 30 miles for pit set water meters depending on TGB antenna height, topography, foliage, and building density in the service area. One of the many benefits of the FlexNet system is the overlapping coverage provided by the TGB network. Typically, any given meter will be heard by an average of 1.5 TGBs, resulting in very robust communications. In fact, over more than 172 Utility deployments in North America, FlexNet systems have an average of 99.5% hourly reading interval success for more than 3 million deployed meters to date. FlexNet features "All Paths AlwaysT"'" communication, which means that any meter endpoint transmission can be received by any TGB in the system without the need for pre-programmed routing or subscription lists. Pole-top repeaters can be added if needed to provide additional signal propagation in weaker areas without the need for an additional TGB. The small number of TGBs required to cover the service area will reduce overall system lifetime costs dramatically. Long term recurring fees for backhaul and power will be much lower than with any other system. The system has been proven across more than 172 utility deployments, including more than 100 water deployments in North America. The FlexNet system operates on an advanced database platform that can be manipulated for any use that Renton desires. The integration with utility billing is one example of this capability, being able to export information in any form required by the billing software (either fixed width or CSV). With the current use of Springbrook, no changes will need to be done to integrate the Sensus FlexNet system into the current configuration of Springbrook. Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply I Z City of Renton Water Meter Automafed Meter Reading System Step 1 Proposal Evaluation Criteria Additionally, All FlexNet endpoints are programmed with their specific GIS coordinates upon activation. Th�is is used to help locate the endpoints and also for use with the diagnostic mapping toois available in the FlexWare software. The endpoints regularly transmit their GIS coordinates to the FlexNet RNI where they are stored in the database and used for various diagnostic functions. The FlexNet system can easily export GIS coordinates of ineters either by flat text file, report or database view for the City of Renton as desired. Sensus will work with the City of Renton to develop any number of possible interface methods for the GIS data. Sensus has already demonstrated....and will continue to employ on-air upgrades of radio modulations, collector software, and RF spectrum frequencies that provide flexibility to increase performance and speed without adding additional collectors. This is not possible with competitive mesh systems. With competitive systems the architecture you deploy on day one is identical to the system you endure in year 20. With Sensus you have multiple options over time to upgrade the system. FlexNet currently supports remote firmware upgrades to water endpoints without a field visit. Successful firmware upgrade capability is a key differentiator versus competitive systems. The Sensus system is "full duplex" and permits the firmware upgrade capability while simultaneously maintaining the meter reading and two-way. Many competitive systems are half duplex and the firmware upgrade functionality may inhibit meter reading functions. Sensus also offers an optional FlexServer Customer Web Portal for the City of Renton water customers and utility personnel. This web portal allows Renton water customers to view their own, up- to-date individual consumption in a number of different ways on their computers or smart phones. It also allows Renton customers to set up custom alerts, receive messages from the utility, and will even allow the City of Renton to deliver information to consumers via in-home display devices. The FlexServer platform will be available in the 4th quarter of 2009, and offers true benefits to end user and the utility in terms of conservation and customer service. � The FlexServer platform also gives the City of Renton Utility personnel another platform to view and analyze data, set up customer alerts for different usage conditions, notify end users of boil water alerts, maintenance in different pressure zones, water restrictions or other important messages. United Pipe & Supply is fully capable of ineeting all bonding and insurance needs required by the City of Renton on this AMR project. Given the current project schedule, the bonding requirements can either be handled on a phased deployment or over multiple years. All bonding and insurance is managed by Fullerton & Company Insurance.

The project was for a one time mass deployment of FlexNet to automate 100% of the cities Sensus TouchRead meters currently in use. The system design prior to deployment showed that the city would require only one (1) TGB in conjunction with three (3) repeaters. This was a system performance guarantee provided by Sensus which protected the city if additional equipment would be provided to ensure 100% coverage. After depioyment, it was determined that the system was doing so well, that only two (2) repeaters would be required for full coverage. The refund of the third repeater was offered to the city. After some thought, the city decided to keep the third unit as a backup. The deployment phase of the operation was carefuliy planned out prior to equipment arriving. The entire operation was scheduled around the billing cycle of Utility Billing. The installation of the Tower Gateway Basestation (TGB) and Regional Network Interface (RNI) were scheduled months in advance and completed on time and on schedule. With the infrastructure in place, SmartPoint radios started deployment on November 24, 2008. If the weather can be recalled at that time, we faced a good snow storm and heavy flooding during the two (2) month install timeframe. Even with these obstacles, the installation contractor was able to finish the installation on January 23, 2009. The project finished on time and was ready for full billing integration.

Response to Technical Specifications Please see section v for a complete response to the Technical Specifications. Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 19 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification ���� � �;;� V����� �i��asv��er Section v. Technical Specification Yes — The FlexNet System operates in both One-Way and Two-Way Modes. The normal reading messages are delivered on a scheduled basis between 5 and 6 times per day without user intervention. This provides very current readings without having to poll individual meters. The system also allows users to poll individual meters at any time via Two-Way mode. An advantage of the FlexNet system is that normal reading messages are sent very frequently (at least every 5 hours), while also allowing for individual meters to be polled at any time if more current information is needed. r�r�tr�� � �'.': j Yes — FlexNet offers full-duplex Two-Way operation direct to the meter endpoint. •�`v��5�'�: ! The meter endpoints can receive transmissions from the TGB network at any time, �^;,,Zi. :i' �.I .-, and will respond within minutes of the reading request. FlexNet uses separate .�,�::';: I spectrums for inbound and outbound transmissions, therefore improving overall .:;�; system bandwidth and throughput speed. Other systems use half-duplex transmit ��;�w;3-:: capability, meaning that the system cannot transmit and receive at the same time. i`:..; ,, �: '� =�: The two-way network also allows for top-of-hour readings and remote firmware t::-:,: - :K� ::�� updates. Remote firmware updates include the ability to add new features, change Y;:i:;::;; � �:`� the reading and transmit interval, transmit mode (normal, boost, buddy, tri-mode), ?�.'~��:'a� and also to change the endpoint parameters such as leak detection threshold and ., �.:; a.'�:;;:� intervals, backflow detection threshold and intervals, and update other programming '::,`:u�.r: ;�:�,,Pr: parameters that are performed during on-site programming. FlexNet is superior to other systems in that inbound transmission use double the power (2 Watts) of any other system, and outbound transmissions can use 35 times the power (35 Watts actual — 300 Watts effective - due to antenna gain) of any other system. This is due to the primary use licensed frequencies used. Other systems are limited to just 1 Watt of power for inbound and outbound transmissions. This means that far less collection equipment is required for FlexNet than for other systems. Copyrighf0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 2� City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specificaiion v.1.a Sysfem Design - Provide the following information for the AMR system being proposed. Include any charts, graphs or il/ustrations that would help communicate fhe information requested. Under normal operation, FlexNet endpoints read the meter register each hour, and transmit six (6) times per day. While other systems provide only one transmit mode and frequency, FlexNet can take advantage of multiple transmit modes and separate frequency channels for each type of inessage (inbound, outbound, alarm, etc.). This increases bandwidth, reduces data collisions, and improves overall system performance, reliability and capacity. By using multiple transmission modes, FlexNet provides the most reliable and robust communications possible with the least amount of collection infrastructure. The different endpoint transmit modes are: • Normal Mode — A 2 Watt transmission at normal data rate in the normal transmit frequency • Buddy Mode — A 2 Watt transmission at normal data rate in the alternate transmit frequency (can be repeated by an FNP repeater) • Boost Mode — A 2 Watt transmission at '/2 data rate in the normal transmit frequency (can double or triple range). Transmit modes are determined automatically at the time of installation by the field installation tools, using real-time two-way communication to the TGB neiwork. Transmit mode and interval can also be changed at any time via finro-way communication to the endpoint (automatically or manually). All available modes are covered by the 20 year battery and endpoint warranty. Often, endpoints will use a mix of the three modes throughout the day (for example, 3 Normal, 1 Buddy, and 1 Boost mode transmission) to ensure that a transmission is received by the TGB network. By using these separate modes, the system can be tuned to deliver excellent throughput with the least amount of collection infrastructure. Sensus has demonstrated this reliability at more than 172 deployed FlexNet networks in North America. FlexNet delivers hourly meter readings by default (24 readings per day) while maintaining a twenty (20) year nationally published endpoint and battery warranty. The hourly data is transmitted at least every 5 hours from every endpoint, keeping overall system reading latency very low. In contrast, other systems may transmit reading data only one time per day or have a reduced warranty while operating in hourly profile mode. Additionally, FlexNet features "All Paths AlwaysT""" communications, which means that any endpoint can communicate with any piece of collection infrastructure. For example, for Renton Sensus has designed a collection network with overlapping coverage. There are no pre-determined routes for the endpoints to follow when reporting in over the air. A single endpoint transmission can be received by one or all Tower Gateway Basestations (TGBs) seamlessly. Additionally, any FNP repeaters deployed in the service area can repeat a"buddy mode" transmission to any TGB in the service area. Each FlexNet TGB has the capacity to serve at least 70,000 individual meters. Other systems use complicated routing tables, subscriber lists, or have other capacity or range limitations on the collection network which prevents the same type of redundancy and overlapping Copynght0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 21 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification The default reading interval of the FlexNet system is one reading per hour. The endpoints transmit the hourly reading history up to six (6) times per day. Each transmission contains up to seven (7) days of hourly reading history to allow for backfill in the event a transmission is missed. Sensus has demonstrated over 99.5% houriy success across more than 172 deployed systems and 3 Million meters. This is unmatched by any other system available on the market. The endpoint reading and transmit interval can be changed remotely via two-way transmission to the endpoint. Individual meters or batches of ineters can be reprogrammed remotely to a number of different reading and transmit intervals. n��v�4 �- i:A ��$�'(s^,�i��� ,�. �,y�`'� biPw7l�t��.,.i�n"ti�.:c3*�v,wht�Y',;Y;3a i(.F°��.tdt�hj�� ,.r.�i.�r ay''l;X�7Y �+�I��'i�,l�µ?���q�.iF�:;�7:.4` � il� .,�s4 N S� ��3.., '` �Ij�.0 � � r r � � 7~'' � ve. � �. �"t�. ��2 ..� � �4 v I �.

Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 22 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification "Off-Cycle" or "On-Demand" readings can be obtained in a number of different ways. First, since FlexNet endpoints transmit their hourly reading data every four (4) to five (5) hours, overall reading latency is very low for all meters on the network. It is very likely there will aiready be a very current reading waiting in the FlexNet database at the time an off-cycle reading is needed. The user can look up the specific meter under review and choose the most appropriate reading available in the database. However, if a more current reading is needed, the user can directly poll an individual meter endpoint or batch of ineter endpoints over the FlexNet 2-way network. Turn-around for on-demand readings direct to the meter is very low on the FlexNet network due to the nature of the full-duplex two-way communications architecture. ;�' Additionally, FlexNet can take advantage of 35 Watts (300 effective) outbound transmit power from the � t,:::,: �� . ,� �•'�� �.�.. TGB network to the endpoints. Other systems are limited to 1 Watt outbound transmit power due to �xr Secondary use license restrictions. FlexNet operates on Primary use FCC licenses and therefore can � r� �-' �Y'�� use 35 times the outbound transmit power of any other system. This is important because endpoint €i;:;+: '��-�� receiver antennas are much less sensitive than "collector" antennas, and additional power is often ':'�: 'e�j;; required to reach pit set water meters even when inbound transmissions from the same endpoints can ���'��' reach the "collectors". B usin 35 times the outbound transmit ower, FlexNet eliminates this risk and :r�; Y 9 P �,�- <i;�' provides true and reliable two-way transmission capability to each FlexNet endpoint. P_�3[7�SY[7 FlexNet features hourly reading profiles for all meters on the network as standard. FlexNet endpoints will deliver 24 readings per day from all meters on the FlexNet network for 20 years. The FlexNet nationally published twenty (20) year endpoint and battery warranty covers hourly reading profiles for all meters on the network at all times and for all available transmit modes. The hourly reading profile will be transmitted every four (4) to five (5) hours from every meter on the network. The hourly information can be displayed in either graphical or tabular views. Renton can remotely modify the reading and transmit intervals (for example 15 minute reading intervals) for individual meters or batches of ineters. Changes to the reading and transmit interval can be made remotely over the network or locally at the endpoint. Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 23 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification . . FlexNet uses Primary Use FCC licensed spectrum exclusively. Sensus maintains national and regional frequencies for the FlexNet system. For Renton, Sensus will employ our regional MAS Spectrum which uses 932.2125 MHz and 941.2125 MHz. Inbound transmissions from the endpoints use 932.2125 MHz, and outbound messages from the network (and "buddy mode" transmissions from endpoints) use 941.2125 MHz. This separate spectrum for inbound and outbound messages enhance overall throughput and future capability, and also allows for full-duplex, 2-way transmissions that are not available with other AMI networks. No other AMI system offers full-duplex two-way communications. Additionally, FlexNet offers multiple communications channels within the allotted spectrum to further enhance throughput and allow more advance communications than other networks. Scheduled reading messages use one part of the spectrum and proactive alarm messages a separate part of the spectrum. Outbound messages use dedicated channels as do broadcast control messages to the TGBs and other ancillary devices such as repeaters (if used). No other system features multiple communications channels for different types of traffic.

Complete FCC license maintenance and renewal is included in the FlexNet support contract outlined in this RFP response. Renton will not be responsible for maintaining any FCC licenses for the FlexNet system. Sensus will perform this maintenance for as long as Renton maintains a FlexNet support cbntract. � FlexNet endpoints transmit at up to two (2) Watts of power, which is double that of any other AMI system on the market. Additionally, outbound transmissions (from the network to endpoints in the field) can use up to thirty-five (35) Watts of power, which translates to an effective output of up to three-hundred (300) Watts due to gain available from the FlexNet TGB antennas. All other AMI networks are limited to 1 Watt of power for inbound and outbound transmissions. This is because all other AMI networks operate on secondary use FCC licenses if they are even licensed at ali, while FlexNet utilizes primary use licensed frequencies. Outbound power is important because endpoint receiver antennas are not as sensitive as "collector" antennas. If a network is set up to minimize collectors, and the endpoints have just enough range to reach the collector at 1 Watt of power, it is less likely that the network will be able to reach the collector at 1 Watt of power, given the much lower sensitivity of the endpoint receiver antenna. This means that systems that can only use 1 Watt of outbound power must use even more collectors to enable two- way operation. FlexNet, with 35 Watts (300+ Watts effective) outbound power, allows true two-way communication with minimal infrastructure. This will reduce overall network costs significantly over time, and ensure a much more robust and reliable network. FlexNet is a field proven system, with over 172 active utility deployments in North America to date. FlexNet endpoints also feature multiple transmission modes to increase transmission success without the need to add additional collectors. "Normal Mode" uses the normal transmit frequency at 2 Watts of power at the normal data rate: "BoosY' mode uses the normal transmit frequency at %z data rate. This can double or triple range. "Buddy" mode uses the alternate transmit frequency at normal data rate. "Buddy" transmissions can be received by repeaters which retransmit the message in "Normal" mode, where they can be received by any TGB. Endpoint transmission mode is set automatically at endpoint installation via real-time performance data relayed to the 2-way field tool by the TGB. In addition to having double the transmit power of any other system, FlexNet TGBs also offer the highest receiver sensitivity available. TGB receiver sensitivity is -121 d6. Each -3 d6 of sensitivity can double range. FlexNet features patented 7-Level Frequency . Shift Keying (7-FSK) RF modulation and packet compression which allows a large amount of information to be sent in a very short transmission. This modulation also provides superior data security, as it cannot be decoded by off-the-shelf RF equipment.

The leak detection software monitors a programmable period of time to determine if a constant consumption of water is being detected from an individual meter. The sample interval and consumption amount are both programmable and can be set durin� installation or through the two-way network after installation. The flexibility of programming this feature is necessary to ensure that false leak detection flags are not reported in commercial or high usage applications. The leak detection flags can be viewed multiple ways. They will be available through a leak detection report and will be reported back individually once a leak is detected. The city will also have the ability to view past leaks at an individual or group of ineters. Copyright02009 United Pipe & Supply 2% City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification on uca oa � Extended leak detection capabilities are available outside this RFP that will enable the city to monitor leaks in the distribution system. The leak detection equipment is called PermaLog+ and is an acoustical monitoring system that can be temporarily or permanently deployed throughout the system. These devices monitor for leaks during the nighttime hours when usage is at a minimum. If a leak is found the PermaLog+ system will radio back through the FlexNet system notifying operations of a possible leak and it approximate location and flow rate. Operations will then need to visit the site using a correlator to determine the exact location and depth of the leak.

There are nine graph types which you can select, and are described in detail below. The default graph type is Average SNR vs. Overall Throughput for all deployed meters and towers. To display information for a specific meter or tower, click on the For TGB drop-down menu and select either a location or a specific TGB. Sample graphs include: • Average SNR vs. Overall Throughput: This scatter plot shows the Average SNR versus the Overall Throughput, Intuitively, there are some expected behaviors which indicate how the system is performing. • Distance to Closest TGB vs. Overall Throughput: This is graph is similar to the Average SNR vs. Overall Throughput scatter plot except the distance is being observed. There are some intuitive conclusions here as well. .It makes sense that the further away the meter is, the lower the throughput will be • SNR vs. MaxRG (1 day): The SNR versus MaxRG (1 day) scatter plot shows, over a 30-day window, the biggest gap within the last day. MaxRG is the largest gap between two read bearing messages • SNR vs. MaxRG (7 days): The SNR versus MaxRG (7 days) scatter plot shows, over a 30-day window, the biggest gap within the last seven days. MaxRG is the largest gap between two read bearing messages •� SNR vs. MaxRG (24 Hour Data Only): The SNR versus MaxRG (24 Hour Data Only) scatter plot shows the biggest gap within the last 24 hours. MaxRG is the largest gap between two read bearing messages • SNR vs. Hours Stale (32 Hours): The SNR versus Hours Stale (32 Hours) scatter plot indicates how long ago a read bearing message was received within the last 32 hours . SNR vs. Days Stale (7 days): The SNR versus Days Stale (7 Days) scatter plot indicates how long ago a read bearing message was received within the last seven days • SNR vs. Buddy Client Count: The SNR versus Buddy Client Count scatter plot indicates the number of different meters for which the buddy meter has forwarded messages • Stale Meter Histograms: The Stale Meter Histograms illustrate how the system is doing as a whole. The histograms indicate the number of ineters stale within the last four hours. The blue bars of the histoQram represent the actual number of stale meters within the last four hours. Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 33 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification The grey bars represent the theoretical number of stale meters based on an equation which calculates the percentage of inessages that can be expected. To view the stale meter count, move the mouse over the bars. For more detailed statistics and information, click on the blue bars Overall System Profile On a continuous basis, the collected data is analyzed against performance thresholds defined in FlexWare. The sum of all defined thresholds creates an overall performance profile. These profiles define acceptable performance characteristics on a given element type. Profiles can specify performance characteristics across multiple collection periods to catch intermittent problems that are not typically severe enough to cause a major performance problem. When thresholds defined in FlexWare are exceeded, an alert in the GUI is raised. Thresholds may be defined for any performance parameters available for analysis within FlexWare. Profiles are defined using distinct parameters for electricity, gas and water. The FlexWare diagnostics system raises and presents alerts to allow network operators to take meaningful and informed action when required. When alert conditions change or abate, FlexWare diagnostics modifies or clears the alert. FlexNet Meter Performance Tracking The FlexNet system tracks the following parameters for every meter in the system: Read Interval Success (RIS): A measure of read interval success. RIS is a percentage that is calculated by taking the "Number of Read Intervals Received" divided by "Number of Read intervals Expected" over a given time period, multiplied by 100 to arrive at a percentage. A read interval is based on the sample rate of a FlexNet radio. If a FlexNet radio is configured to sample the meter reading every hour, then the number of intervals expected is 24. RIS is typically calculated using the past 30 days of inessage traffic to give an overall picture of interval success • Raw Transmit Success (RAW): A measure of raw transmit success. With FlexNet, the read sample rate and transmit rates are typically decoupled. Sample rate may be hourly, while transmit rate may be four times per day. Each transmission contains up to seven (7) days of houriy reading history. Raw transmit success is a measure of transmit success divided by transmit attempts, multiplied by 100 to arrive at a percentage. It is possible for a meter to have a very low RAW percentage and still maintain a 100% Read interval success. This is due to the reading history included with every transmission. • Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR): Compares the level of a desired signal (in this case the transmission of read data) to the level of background noise. Meters with a higher SNR to the tower will provide meter reads more reliably than meters with weaker SNR values. An extremel week SNR is considered 8 db or lower, a weak SNR will ran e from 8 to 10 db, a Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 34 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification moderate SNR will be 10 to 12 db and a good SNR will be above 12 db GIS Meter Data :� A report can be generated which includes the specific GIS coordinates for every installed meter. � • Latitude: The latitude as reported by the meter. (The meter is programmed with this r� information during installation and setup and re-transmits it regularly to ensure that it is ;1 maintained in the database) ,; r � • Longitude: The longitude as reported by the meter. (The meter is programmed with this �; information during installation and setup and re-transmits it regularly to ensure that it is maintained in the database) `; Ofher Monitoring & Health Reports A ': FlexWare includes many additional monitoring and health reports, including: • Statistics Reports • SNR Histograms � • Time Between TX Histograms • Signal Metrics History Graphs • Missed Message/Throughput History Graphs • SNR Time Plots • Time Plots • TGB Status • Overall System Statistics • Message Counts Operating temperature for 520X SmartPoint - Radio The SmartPoint radio can fully operate at temperatures of -30° F to +165° F or -34° C to +74° C.

There are more than 12 million Sensus endpoints (mobile and fixed) using this same battery „<_;, �,x, type installed throughout North America. ��=y F�: ::�, The endpoint battery is completely sealed inside the HDPE endpoint enclosure for water resistance. �' The battery is not field replaceable (Sensus does offer a unit that has a field replaceable battery, but �;Y �; we are not recommending this for this project). Every SmartPoint carries a nationally published twenty �; (20) year battery warranty (10 year full and 10 year pro-rated). If a SmartPoint battery fails within the �warranty period, the entire endpoint is replaced. ' FlexNet Water endpoints provide 24 readings per day for 20 years (hourly reading), delivered up to 6 � times per day under the nationally published warranty. Renton may program endpoints to a shorter � reading interval (15 minute reading interval for example) but this is not covered under the 20 year warrant . CopyrightOO 2009 United Pipe & Supply 39 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification � Disposal of the batteries will be managed by the Sensus RMA department for any warranty SmartPoints for the first 20 years. After this point, additional services will be provided to exchange the expired SmartPoint for new material through United Pipe & Supply and Sensus. The health of the battery is monitored constantly over the life of the SmartPoint. The battery level is measured while the SmartPoint is under full load to ensure the most accurate measurement. If the radio determines that the battery has reached a low capacity, a low battery warning is transmitted back to the RNI for notification. The warning will display until the SmartPoint is replaced. FlexNet SmartPoints read the meter registers hourly, and transmit four (4) to five (5) times per day. Each transmission contains up to seven (7) days hourly reading history for redundancy. If a transmission is missed, the subsequent transmissions will fill in the missing reading data at the Head- End. Using this mode of operation, FlexNet has been able to deliver better than 99.5% hourly reading interval success across more than 172 deployments with over 3 Million FlexNet SmartPoints deployed. FlexNet provides for true hourly reading delivery (24 readings per day delivered to the head end) while maintaining a twenty (20) year battery warranty. There is no need to turn on or off hourly reading capability to maintain the twenty year battery life. Other systems may require users to communicate with the network to deliver hourly data for short periods, and then turn off this functionality to maintain battery life. �.�.�� Each FlexNet endpoint has a unique, permanent, numeric 9 digit Endpoint ID number that is transmitted with the meter readings. This ID number is clearly printed on the Endpoint label and is also represented in barcode format. The Meter ID number is also transmitted to ensure that the meter reading is attributed to the correct account. If the Meter ID connected to the endpoint does not match what is resident in the Renton billing system database, the system will report the exception and will not apply the reading to the account until the discrepancy is rectified. This is a fail-safe to prevent readings from being attributed to CopyrightOO 2009 United Pipe & Supply 4� City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification the wrong account. 0 Dual-Port endpoints can serve two (2) individual meters. Dual-Port endpoints have a unique 9 digit Endpoint ID number for each port. To program the FlexNet endpoints, the installers utilize the Sensus CommandLinkT"' programming module in conjunction with a Bluetooth enabied Windows Mobile 6 handheld (such as the Sensus AR 5501 Handheld) or a laptop computer. Sensus will supply the CommandLink software to be used with the instailer's preferred Windows Mobile 6 handheld.

The unit can be installed with either a TouchCoupler connection or wire connection. The TouchCoupler connection is a simple plug-n-play installation while the wire connection required for non-Sensus registers will require the use of 3M Gel Caps for splicing in order to ensure long term water tight connections.

This allows Renton to use pit lids of any composition (cast iron, steel, concrete, poly, etc) as necessary. Endpoints may be installed under the pit lid if necessary, but Sensus recommends the units only be installed through the pit lid for maximum performance. FlexNet propagation studies are performed with the assumption that endpoints will be installed through the pit lid. Pole top repeaters (FNPs) can be used in areas of weak signal propagation to extend range if necessary. Sensus FlexNet endpoints transmit at up to two (2) Watts of power on Primary Use licensed frequencies. This is double the power of any other AMI system on the market, and results in the greatest range available from any system under any conditions (e.g. through the lid, under the lid, inside, in basements, etc). Copynght0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 4� City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification or�s.o�sruoi�o FlexNet SmartPoints are completely sealed in HDPE plastic for water resistance. SmartPoints can take advantage of the patented TouchCouplerT"' connection which allows a completely modular, yet 100% waterproof connection befinreen the SmartPoint and the meter registers. The TouchCoupler Connection also eliminates the possibility of corrosion, misconnection or disruption of the connection due to water intrusion. Sensus has more than 15 years experience in pit-set water radio design, and the TouchCoupler system was designed to eliminate these problems that are common with other connection methods.

Fixed Network Radio Data Collector — The City owns a number of towers/facilities that may be used for locating fixed network data collectors. Location information is available from the City upon request and will be furnished upon the completion of a confidentiality statement. The City prefers that, to the extent practical, these existing sites be used for the mounting of fixed radio data collector units. Fixed radio data collection units must be mounted on roofs, utility poles, towers, etc., at sufficient height and density to enable the City to collect readings from all meters in that portion of its service territory designed for use by this system. The System Vendor is responsible for estimating the number and location of fixed data collectors required in the City's service territory. The City may assist the System Vendor in securing sites for collectors at sites other than City owned property. The City intends to avoid locations where leasing arrangements must be made. In water meter applications, the Tower Gateway Base Station (TGB) is a transceiver that receives transmission from the meters in predetermined intervals, and allows fo� "on demand" readings. TGBs are strategically located within an area to insure coverage requirements are achieved. The units can be housed on typical communications towers and/or on a utility's property should they meet the criteria for installation. Once the data is received at the TGB, the TGB Linux computer forwards the information, by virtually any backhaul method, to the Regional Network Interface (RNI) located at Renton City Hall. The TGB was designed to ensure data integrity and reliability. The system assures that data will not be lost and can be held for extended periods of time. Instead of collecting, storing, and forwarding data, the TGB provides a live, two-way communication path to the RNI. However, in the event that communication is disabled, the TGB can store up to 30 days of data; TGB data can be downloaded directly via laptop computer if the disruption continues for an extended period of time. The TGB is also equipped with a minimum 8-hour battery backup. If there are multiple TGBs in the coverage area, neighboring TGBs can accept and process data if required. The TGB microprocessors employ multiple levels of access control to ensure system security. A Secure Shell Login (SSH) allows only authorized users to directly access the TGB data. Furthermore, all received data is time-stamped with the receive time, Time of Intercept (TOI), and then forwarded. Each data packet is uniquely identified with a customer mask combined with the TGB identification. Data stored on the TGB remains encrypted; the encryption keys are never stored on the same equipment as the data. Copyright0 2009 United Pipe 8 Supply $'4 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification D Comply. Sensus employs primary and back-up communications from the TGBs to the RNI. The communications employ a standard TCP/IP connection as the primary form of communication with a back-up communication using a 56K modem line. The primary communication can be accomplished using many different forms such as Fiber Optics, Wireless, Point-To-Point RF, DSL, Phone line, Cable and any other form that uses a TCP/IP communication method. Since the sites selected for use that were provided by the city all have access to fiber optic communication (Highlands Reservoir, Rolling Hills Reservoir, West Hills Reservoir), the primary communication will use the cities fiber optic network. The city will be required provide an Ethernet connection to each TGB site as described in the Statement of Work attached in Section viii, Appendix 4. �oPranno�ranoe� The City of Renton has exceilent sites for the FlexNet system. For example the Highland's tank, a Tower Gateway Base Station installed at this location would service over 12,000 of the 18,000 proposed services! Sensus used (and attached in Section viii, Appendix 5) detailed propagation studies that indicate the best design for full coverage. The results of the propagation study shows that three (3) Tower Gateway Basestation (TGB) and three (3) FlexNet Network Portals (FNP Repeaters) are required for 100 % coverage. . This is not an "estimate". All FlexNet systems delivered carry a minimum performance guarantee. If the system requires more infrastructure to reach this minimum level of performance, Sensus will provide and install the equipment at no charge to the City of Renton. Each TGB has the capacity to serve to 70,000 individual meters delivering hourly readings. Typical operating range varies from 2 miles to 30 miles for pit set water meters depending on TGB antenna height, topography, foliage, and building density in the service area. One of the many benefits of the FlexNet system is the overlapping coverage provided by the TGB network. Typically, any given meter will be heard by an average of 1.5 TGBs, resulting in very robust communications. In fact, over more than 172 Utility deployments in North America, FlexNet systems have an averaqe of 99.5% hourly reading interval success for more than 3 million deployed meters to Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 55 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specificafion date. FlexNet features "All Paths AlwaysT"'" communication, which means that any meter endpoint transmission can be received by any TGB in the system without the need for pre-programmed routing or subscription lists. FNP pole-top repeaters can be added if needed to provide additional signal propagation in weaker areas without the need for an additional TGB. The small number of TGBs required to cover the service area will reduce overall system lifetime costs dramatically. Long term recurring fees for backhaul and power will be much lower than with any other system. The system has been proven across more than 172 utility deployments, including more than 100 water deployments in North America. TGBs consist of a cabinet that installed at ground level and an antenna connected to the cabinet via coaxial RF cable. TGBs are available in indoor and outdoor configurations. If shelter exists at the TGB location, an indoor unit may be used. If shelter is not available, an NEMA-4 outdoor unit may be used. Since the TGB cabinets are located at ground level, they do not require the use of a bucket truck during routine service and maintenance. The TGB cabinet can be installed up to 300 feet away from the TGB antenna, making it the most flexible AMI "collector' available. Additionally, the TGBs are extremely robust, giving the FlexNet system the best reliability (proven across more than 172 utility deployments to date) of any other AMI system on the market.

' v - a Fig�.�-e 18: Ex2m,�!e TGB In�taliG;io�s The TGBs can use a variety of different antennas from omni-directional antennas to semi-directional or panel antennas. TGB antennas have been installed on buildings, water tanks, communications towers, city park light poles, as well as other structures. Sensus includes TGB installation, project management, and system testing in the TGB purchase price, and the FlexNet infrastructure (collection network and Head-End) is delivered "turnkey". All system configuration and testing is performed by Sensus. TGBs are AC Powered. TGBs have at least 8 hours of on-board battery backup in the event of a primary power failure. At least thirty (30) days of hourly data from at least 70,000 meters can be stored on non-volatile memory on the TGB in the event the backhaul connection to the head-end is lost or the head-end is unavailable. Additionally, all FlexNet water endpoints send up to seven (7) days of hourly reading history in every transmission. The entire TGB network can be down for up to seven (7) days n with no data lost. No other system provides this level of redundancy and reliability. Copyright02009 United Pipe & Supply $% City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification FlexNet requires very few TGBs to cover the entire Renton service area, and this reduces overall power costs for the nefinrork over the long term. Indoor TGB Input AC Power Requirements: • 90-265 VAC 45-65 Hz, 120 or 240 VAC Nominal • Supplied with standard 120 V grounded line cord, 10 feet. • (240 VAC power cords available, specify plug) • 85 Watts idle or receive only (typical operation) • 225 Watts @100% transmit duty • 500 Watts maximum during backup battery charge No programming of TGBs is required by the City of Renton. Sensus will configure and maintain the TGB nefinrork under the terms of the FlexNet support agreement. TGBs do not require routing tables or subscriber lists. TGBs maintain a live TCP/IP backhaul connection with the Head-End RNI servers. All data received is immediately forwarded to the Head- End RNI upon reception. If the TCP/IP backhaul connection is down, the TGBs will store at least 30 days of hourly readings for up to 70,000 individual meters. This provides superior reliability, and in more than 172 deployed networks across North America, this reliability has been repeatedly proven with excellent results. The City of Renton will not be required to install TGBs or other FlexNet collection equipment. All TGBs and repeaters (if needed) will be installed, configured and tested by Sensus or Sensus contracted personnel. If system performance does not meet promised levels, Sensus will provide and install additional collection equipment as necessary to meet specified levels. All TGBs are installed by qualified Sensus Project Managers and Contractors. TGBs are constructed using field proven, "industrial grade" modular RF equipment and connectors. TGBs are equipped with at least 8 hours of on-board battery backup power which acts as an "uninterruptib�e power supply" for the TGB unit. � CopyrightOO 2009 United Pipe & Supply 58 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification TGBs are grounded at the TGB cabinet and at the coaxial antenna cable to provide superior electrical isolation and protection from lightning. Additionally, a polyphaser is used in line to reduce the risk of lightning damage. All TGB electrical connections are installed according to state, federal and local codes by licensed electricians. The City of Renton will not be required to install TGBs or other FlexNet collection equipment. All TGBs and repeaters (if needed) will be installed, configured and tested by Sensus or Sensus contracted personnel. If system performance does not meet promised levels, Sensus will provide and install additional collection equipment as necessary to meet specified levels. Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 59 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification [1P_[]�OVP_O'?[7 Once the initial phase is completed, the city can continue to deploy within this coverage area until the next predetermined site is needed. Each stage of deployment will be marked with a TGB installation until full coverage has been achieved. As determined by the propagation study, the City of Renton will require three (3) TGB's to provide full coverage of the entire service area. The TGB's can be deployed at any pace as long as coverage is provided for installation. The completed propagation studies are attached in Section viii, Appendix 5. Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 6� City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Figure 19: VJesi Fiil•.s Propagation Study Technical Specification Sensus will provide installation of each TGB through a contracted installer. They will require site preparation from the city to ensure proper installation. All details of the requirements are covered in the attached Statement of Work in Section viii, Appendix 4. TGB warranty information is attached in Attaehment A, Section 2. Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 61 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Figure 20: Entire System Coveraga Technical Specification v.4. AMR System Radio Licenses — The City requires the System Vendor to secure on behalf of the City all radio licenses necessary to operate the AMR system on frequencies that will be sufficiently free of noise and interference so as to provide all proposed capabilities over the life of this system. ���,�� FlexNet operates exclusively on Primary Use FCC licensed frequencies. All necessary licenses have already been acquired. Sensus maintains both Nationwide and Regional licenses for FlexNet. These Primary Use licensed frequencies provide dramatically better range and reliability, and eliminate the risk that the system performance will change over time due to interference. No other AMI system on the market provides this level of protection. FlexNet is the only AMI system that operates on Primary Use licensed FCC frequencies. All other licensed AMI systems operate on secondary use license, which means that another entity other than the AMI vendor is the Primary License holder. This introduces significant risk for the utility AMI system. Sensus provides the use of all FCC licenses and provides FCC licensing maintenance under the terms of the FlexNet support contract proposed. v.5. AMR Control Unit — The AMR system will be operated from a control unit (s), which will be a server (s). This unit (s) may be the same one used to manage all reading collection devices. It may be the same one used to control the AMR CopyrightOO 2009 United Pipe & Supply 62 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification system installation. The unit (s) must have sufficient capacity to handle all of the City's meter readings, including future expansion capability as the City grows. Sensus typically provides the AMR Control Unit (called the FlexNet Regional Network Interface — RNI) server hardware pre-loaded with the necessary software for the FlexNet system. This arrangement simplifies installation and ensures that the hardware configuration meets the required parameters. The RNI consists of 2 5eparate Dell 2950 Blade Servers. The first server, called the Nefinrork Controller (NC) handles communications befinreen the TGB network and the Database Server and also acts as the Web Server platform for the FlexWare software. The Database Server (DB) provides the platform for the FlexNet database. The FlexNet RNI also includes a Powervault MD1000 RAID data storage array consisting of 15 73G6 Hard Drives for data security. It is possible to run RNI in a virtual environment; however Sensus typically provides both RNI servers and the Powervault data storage array pre-loaded with all software for simplicity. The Network Controller (NC) server runs Linux Red Hat Enterprise Edition operating system, and may need to be run on the physical server based on the requirements of this RFP. The Database Server (DB) runs Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition and could be run in the virtual environment described in this RFP. Sensus typically provides all RNI server hardware and software required as part of the FlexNet system. This allows Sensus to easily support the RNI in the future and allows for common platforms and the ability to have stocked spares in the event disaster recovery is required. The specifications of the RNI are as follows: • Database (DB) Server Hardware (1 each): 0 2U Dell 2950 (Quad Core Xeon E5420 Processor'Zx6M6 Cache), 2.5GHz, 1333MHz FSB, PE2950 (223-4490),16G6 667MHz (8x2GB), Dual Ranked DIMMs, 6x 73G6 15K RPM Serial-Attach SCSI 3Gbps 3.5-in HotPlug HardDrive. o Redundant PS, Rails, basic support, Perc 5/i, PERC4eDC 2Ext, Ext SCSI cable, DVD ROM • Operating System: o Win2K3 R2 64 bit + 25 Licenses (Cals) • Database Software: o SQL2K5 Enterprise Edition 64 + 25 Cals o OLP WIN SVR CAL 2008 SNGL NL USER CAL (A1531436) (25 Cals) o SQL SVR ENTERPRISE EDTN 2005 WIN32 ENG OLP NL (A0575436) o SQL CAL 2005 WIN32 ENG OLP NL U CAL (A0575283) (25 Cals) • Network Controller (NC) Server Hardware (1 each): 0 2U Dell 2950 Quad Core Xeon E5420 Processor2x6MB Cache, 2.5GHz, 1333MHz FSB, PE2950 (223-4490)), 8GB 667MHz,Dual Ranked Fully Buffered DIMMs, 6x 73GB 15K RPM Serial-Attach-SCSI 3Gbps 3.5-in HotPlug HardDrive. o Redundant PS, Rails, basic support, PERC 5/i, DVD ROM • Network Controller O�eratina Svstem: Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 63 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification o Red Hat Enterprise • Data Storage Array: o PowerVault Storage Array MD1000, Rack, 3U, 15 73G HD Bay External SAS/SATA Storaqe Array with Lockinq Bezel. The FlexNet RNI consists of two (2) separate Dell 2950 Blade servers and a PowerVault MD1000 Data storage array. These devices are typically installed in standard computer server rack and require approximately 5 to 7 rack spaces. Typically all hardware and software required for the RNI servers is provided as part of the FlexNet system. The servers are shipped pre-loaded with all software. Sensus Project Managers and technicai staff typically perform RNI server installation, configuration and testing. The RNI installation and configuration is included in the purchase cost of the system. The FlexNet RNI is capable of residing as a node on the City of Renton's existing data communications network. The FlexNet RNI is capable of operating in a normal office environment. The RNI servers are rack- mounted and typically installed in a utility data center or server room. The RNI servers can be easily moved to a new location, and software can be quickly and easily transferred to another server if necessary. See Appendix A, Section 3 for RNI hardware warranty. Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System .� Technical Specification v.6. AMR System Software — System Vendor must provide all sofiware, including third party software such as operating system, relational database management system, and database report generator, necessary for City staff to operate and manage the AMR system. [Exception: See the above discussion regarding the City providing the infrastructure for a MS Windows Server / MS SQL Server based system]. This software must include interFaces to the City's customer information system to enable transfer of ineter readings, synchronization of databases, customer service functions, measures to protect data security, etc. Software must be provided with all licenses, and must be maintained by the AMR System Vendor over the life of the system. The City will provide the record layout for its CIS and expects the System Vendor to tailor an interFace from its AMR system software to the CIS [See the discussion below regarding subcontracting with Springbrook Soflware, Inc to accomplish this task]. The City IT staff will work closely with the System Vendor to ensure that this is accomplished efficiently. However, the System Vendor is solely responsible for ensuring that data from its system is being transferred properly to the City's CIS system. The sofiware must be able to manage a minimum of 25,000 accounts and be expandable. ��r �uo [7P_p:�l [7 Batch Processing The normal operation of the Meter Data Management (MDM) software system of the RNI is to perform batch meter reading and prepare for processing by the Springbrook billing software. The MDM performs this almost identically to the current Sensus AutoRead software currently being used by the city. The routes that are currently created by the Springbrook software to go into the AutoRead software will be diverted to the MDM software as SmartPoint radios are installed. The batch processing will provide the last reading reported back to the system by default. In modifying the default settings, billing can select which day or group of days in which to select the billable reading for. This allows for billing on a set schedule each month for a more precise billing period. If Renton would like to bill on the 15th of each month and it happens to lay on a Saturday, the system will give you the capability to generate bills weeks later if necessary. The steps necessary for batch processing are: 1. Create Route File in Springbrook using the current processes and layouts currently used with the Sensus AutoRead system. This process will go unchanged in using the FlexNet system and will be a big savings to the city during the transition phase from Drive-By to FlexNet. Transfer the file to the MDM for processing. 2. Open Internet Explorer throuQh anv citv computer connected to the citv network and l04 into Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 6$ City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification the MDM. 3. Import the route from Springbrook. 4. Select which day you would like readings from and perform the read command to generate a meter reading file for Springbrook. Additionally, a preset list of reports is generated in a PDF form for viewing and printing automatically. 5. Transfer the readings file to the computer selected for generating bills in Springbrook and import the reads using the import.command in Springbrook. The layout of this file will be unchanged from the current file layout currently being used for the AutoRead Drive-By system. This will be a big savings to the city during the transition phase from Drive-By to FlexNet. If individual accounts need further review, the user can choose to select individual accounts and view consumption graphs and tables in 6 Month, Monthly, Weekly, Daily and Hourly windows. The account can be found through multiple search options as well as sortable lists for each route. Single Meter Reading Query If an individual meter reading or history is needed, the user can perform a query by searching by SmartPoint Radio ID #, Register ID # or Account Number. The user will have the option of either looking at past history in graph or table form, current usage reported that current day or retrieve the current reading using the two-way operation of the FlexNet system. This operation is possible for both senrices within the Springbrook software as well as new services that have yet to be entered into Springbrook. User Defined Groups One feature of the batch processing is the capability of grouping meters together to monitor separate groups of ineters for additional analysis. The Springbrook billing software is capable of allowing for this feature and is managed through the routes of Springbrook. The City of Fife has done this using Springbrook V6.02 to monitor different meter groups for unauthorized usage and consumption violations. Some of their meter groups include Single Family, Multi Farnily, Commercial, Irrigation, Government, Industrial and Deduct Meters. A screenshot of the City of Fife is attached below. Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 66 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System V, qu in al �n in � Technical Specification and/or .csv file format as directed by Renton. FlexNet uses Microsoft SQL 2005 (soon to be 2008) as the underiying relational database. The FlexNet system can provide account number, transmitter ID number port number, billing cycle or route number, meter number, meter readings, error codes or flags, date and time for each meter reading, and tamper indications, but does not typically provide "unable-to-read" code as this is typically a field that a meter reader would manually enter upon reading a route with a handheld or mobile device. The fields required from the Renton CIS system in the route file are: • Account Number • Service Address • Meter ID number • Meter Type (register manufacturer code letter — B for Sensus) • Endpoint Number • Endpoint Type (optional — a constant "B" can be set in the software) • Service Type (optional — a constant "W" can be set in the software) • Biliing Cycle number ( required in order to return same to CIS) Please see document "MDM Import/Export Fieids" attached in Section viii, Appendix 6 for more information on optional fields and additional fields available for export. The file layout and format is completely flexible, and can be easily changed without programming if there are changes to the Renton CIS system in the future, or if additional fields are needed. Field length and format can be adjusted to fit existing parameters. See document "MDM Import/Export fields" attached in Section viii, Appendix 6 for maximum field lengths. Field position is a,djustable and will be matched to the format desired by Renton's CIS system. Sensus plans to match the existing file interface format that Renton is using for the existing Sensus meter reading equipment. Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Suppfy 6g City of Renton Water MeYer Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification FTP application (typically FileZilla or similar). The route file is then imported into the FlexNet system. A reading date is chosen (usually this date is pre-set according to Renton preferences) and the reading data processed on the FlexNet system. A reading file is then generated from the FlexNet system onto the FlexNet server. The reading file is moved from the FlexNet server back to the Renton CIS system via FTP application. The reading file is then imported into the Renton CIS system. The FlexWare user interface is web-based, and can be re-started by simply closing the internet browser window and opening a new one. The user then logs back into the FlexWare software and resumes operation. In the event that the software running on the FlexNet RNI servers requires restart, Sensus AMR Services personnel can log in remotely via secure VPN connection and restart the software via command line or server reboot. Alternately, Renton staff may perform this operation if desired, but Sensus AMR Support staff are available 24/7 to assist. The need for this type of software or hardware restart and recovery is extremely rare due to the robust design of the FlexNet RNI and software. The maximum number of concurrent users is only limited by the specific design of the RNI. Sensus will provide licenses for up to 25 concurrent users in the proposed solution, but this number can easily be increased if desired by purchasing additional Client Access Licenses (CALS) from Microsoft for Windows Server and Windows SQL used on the RNI. The FlexWare software is web-based does not require the installation of any software onto individual workstations. The FlexWare software is designed to be very powerful and extremely easy to use. Routes, reports and notifications can be automated, and users can subscribe to distribution lists for various reports and query results. A host of useful reports and queries are available for users at any time. The FlexNet system database retains at least 13 months of hourly reading data for analysis. The FlexNet system is capable of delivering a very high percentage (averaging 99.5% hourly reading interval success across 172+ currentiv FlexNet deplovments) of hourly readinqs from every meter in the system, so these Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply %� City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification reports and queries benefit from this very complete set of data. A data file export can be set up for 3rd party software, such as work order management systems. A CMEP export is also available. Any unread meters (such as meters not yet converted to FlexNet) can be automatically loaded to a Sensus handheld for meter reading if desired, and an installation route can be loaded.onto a handheld to facilitate installation services.

This web portal allows Renton water customers to view their own, up- to-date individual consumption in a number of different ways on their computers or smart phones. It also allows Renton customers to set up custom alerts, receive messages from the utility, and will even allow the City of Renton to deliver information to consumers via in-home display devices. The FlexServer platform will be available in the 4`h quarter of 2009, and offers true benefits to end user and the utility in terms of conservation and customer service. The FlexServer platform also gives the City of Renton Utility personnel another platform to view and analyze data, set up customer alerts for different usage conditions, notify end users of boil water alerts, maintenance in different pressure zones, water restrictions or other important messages.

For security no users are able to modify or delete meter reading data collected by the system via the FlexWare software tools. All configuration parameters, such as interface format and data import/export scheduling are password protected by specific user level.

The standard data retention is 13 months of hourly data, but Renton can opt to archive additional months of data if desired. To provide additional data retention, Renton will need to deploy a separate dedicated server for extended data retention. This is necessary to ensure optimum performance of the MDM services. The FlexNet system offers the best redundancy and reliability or any AMI system on the market. The same system proposed for Renton is currently being used by more than 172 different utilities from large Investor Owned Utilities such as Southern Company (more than 1 Million FlexNet meters deployed to date), to small municipalities like Fife, WA (2,350 FlexNet meters). The FlexNet reading data is protected in a number of ways. First, each endpoint sends up to seven (7) days worth of hourly reading data in every transmission. If a problem on the TGB network or RNI occurs, endpoints will automatically backfill up to 7 days worth of data with no user intervention. Second, each TGB has at least eight (8) hours of on board battery backup and at least thirty (30) days of non-volatile hourly meter reading storage for up to 50,000 individual meters. Third, the RNI consists of multiple blade servers with redundant hard drive arrays (including a dedicated RAID storage array) to prevent data loss. Sensus encourages the City of Renton to set up additional backups if desired. Sensus IT Project Managers will work with the City of Renton to develop a backup scheme that fully meets Renton IT guidelines.

The system also provides a "broken pipe" alarm that is configurable according to the meter or property size. This can detect usage in excess of the maximum typical flow over a certain number of intervals. Backflow alarms can also be set in the endpoint to detect reverse flow, and are configurable by amount of backflow and number of intervals. FlexNet also provides a number of user-definable queries that allow a user to compare the current consumption values to values from prior periods within the thirteen (13) month period stored in the FlexNet database. Users can be automatically notified if a meter's use falls outside of normal levels. These queries can use absolute values or the individual meter account history to determine if readings Copyright0 2009 Unifed Pipe & Supply 93 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System %chnical Specification are outside of "normal" levels. Users can view query results on the fiy or set the desired parameters and be notified automatically via email or text message.

Figure 56: Consumption By Range Additionally, FlexNet provides a"High/Low" exception report, that when used in conjunction with values transferred from Renton's Springbrook CIS system, can report unusually high or low readings for the individual accounts within the system. This report can be very effective at flagging questionable usage. The "Consumption" report provided will also show meter rollovers and consumption amounts in the chosen meter reading resolution. Optional FlexServer Platform Additionally, Renton may use the optional Sensus FlexServer platform to trap questionable readings and notify utility personnel automatically, as well as the consumers themselves. Alerts can be set up which identify specific criteria for each account, or for all accounts within a specific group (such as "residential meters" for example). A threshold (either a Cubic Foot amount per day, week, month, etc, or a dollar amount (determined by City of Renton water rates) can be set up and notifications generated based on these criteria.

There are nine qraph tvpes which you can select, and are described in detail below. The default qraph type is Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 99 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification Average SNR vs. Overall Throughput for all deployed meters and towers. To display information for a specific meter or tower, click on the For TGB drop-down menu and select either a location or a specific TGB. Sample graphs include: • Average SNR vs. Overall Throughpuf: This scatter plot shows the Average SNR versus the Overall Throughput. intuitively, there are some expected behaviors which indicate how the system is performing. • Distance to Closest TGB vs. Overall Throughput: This is graph is similar to the Average SNR vs. Overall Throughput scatter plot except the distance is being observed. There are some intuitive conclusions here as well. It makes sense that the further away the meter is, the lower the throughput will be • SNR vs. MaxRG (1 day): The SNR versus MaxRG (1 day) scatter plot shows, over a 30-day window, the biggest gap within the last day. MaxRG is the largest gap between two read bearing messages • SNR vs. MaxRG (7 days): The SNR versus MaxRG (7 days) scatter plot shows, over a 30-day window, the biggest gap within the last seven days. MaxRG is the largest gap befinreen two read bearing messages • SNR vs. MaxRG (24 Hour Data Only): The SNR versus MaxRG (24 Hour Data Only) scatter plot shows the biggest gap within the last 24 hours. MaxRG is the largest gap between two read bearing messages • SNR vs. Hours Stale (32 Hours): The SNR versus Hours Stale (32 Hours) scatter plot indicates how long ago a read bearing message was received within the last 32 hours • SNR vs. Days Stale (7 days): The SNR versus Days Stale (7 Days) scatter plot indicates how long ago a read bearing message was received within the last seven days • SNR vs. Buddy Client Count: The SNR versus Buddy Client Count scatter plot indicates the number of different meters for which the buddy meter has forwarded messages • Stale Meter Histograms: The Stale Meter Histograms illustrate how the system is doing as a whole. The histograms indicate the number of ineters stale within the last four hours. The blue bars of the histogram represent the actual number of stale meters within the last four hours. The grey bars represent the theoretical number of stale meters based on an equation which calculates the percentage of inessages that can be expected. To view the stale meter count, move the mouse over the bars. For more detailed statistics and information, click on the blue bars Overall System Profi/e On a continuous basis, the collected data is analyzed against performance thresholds defined in FlexWare. The sum of all defined thresholds creates an overall performance profile. These profiles define acceptable performance characteristics on a aiven element tvpe. Profiles can specifv Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 1 �0 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification performance characteristics across multiple collection periods to catch intermittent problems that are not typicaily severe enough to cause a major performance problem. When thresholds defined in FlexWare are exceeded, an alert in the GUI is raised. Thresholds may be defined for any performance parameters available for analysis within FlexWare. Profiles are defined using distinct parameters for electricity, gas and water. The FlexWare diagnostics system raises and presents alerts to allow network operators to take meaningful and informed action when required. When alert conditions change or abate, FlexWare diagnostics modifies or clears the alert. FlexNet Meter Performance Tracking The FlexNet system tracks the following parameters for every meter in the system: Read Interval Success (RIS): A measure of read interval success. RIS is a percentage that is calculated by taking the "Number of Read Intervals Received" divided by "Number of Read Intervals Expected" over a given time period, multiplied by 100 to arrive at a percentage. A read interval is based on the sample rate of a FlexNet radio. If a FlexNet radio is configured to sample the meter reading every hour, then the number of intervals expected is 24. RIS is typically calculated using the past 30 days of inessage traffic to give an overall picture of interval success Raw Transmit Success (RAW): A measure of raw transmits success. With FlexNet, the read sample rate and transmit rates are typically decoupled. Sample rate may be hourly, while transmit rate may be four times per day. Each transmission contains up to seven (7) days of hourly reading history. Raw transmit success is a measure of transmit success divided by transmit attempts, multiplied by 100 to arrive at a percentage. It is possible for a meter to have a very low RAW percentage and still maintain a 100% Read interval success. This is due to the reading history included with every transmission. Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR): Compares the level of a desired signal (in this case the transmission of read data) to the level of background noise. Meters with a higher SNR to the tower will provide meter reads more reliably than meters with weaker SNR values. An extremely week SNR is considered 8 db or lower, a weak SNR will range from 8 to 10 db, a moderate SNR will be 10 to 12 db and a good SNR will be above 12 db. GIS Meter Data A report containing the GIS coordinates of every meter in the system can be generated at any time. Latitude: The latitude as reported by the meter. (The endpoint is programmed with this information during installation and setup and re-transmits it regularly to ensure that it is maintained in the database) Longitude: The longitude as reported by the meter. (The endpoint is programmed with this information during installation and setup and re-transmits it regularly to ensure that it is maintained in the database) Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 101 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification Other Monitoring & Health Reports FlexWare includes many additional monitoring and health reports, including: • Statistics Reports • SNR Histograms • Time Befinreen TX Histograms • Signal Metrics History Graphs • Missed Message/Throughput History Graphs • SNR Time Plots • Time Plots • TGB Status • Overall System Statistics • Message Counts Diagnostics Summary FlexWare enables monitoring, control, and testing of all AMI network communications elements throughout Renton's AMI nefinrork. FlexWare supports Renton's needs by providing a common architectural framework for integrating AMI network management processes (alarm notification, system maintenance, user administration, command and control, reporting, and generic notification services) across a common user interface. Renton can benefit from the simple architecture, reliable performance and flexible reporting to maintain optimal performance of the AMI network.

This is used to help locate the endpoints and also for use with the diagnostic mapping tools available in the FlexWare software described above. The endpoints regularly transmit their GIS coordinates to the FlexNet RNI where they are stored in the database and used for various diagnostic functions including the Diagnostic map shown below. The FlexNet system can easily export GIS coordinates of ineters either by flat text file, report or database .view for the City of Renton as desired. Sensus will work with the City of Renton to develop any number of possible interFace methods for the GIS data. The GIS coordinate accuracy and datum depends on the GPS receiver of the handheld used in conjunction with the FlexNet CommandLinkT"' field tool at the time of activation. Sensus allows the use of any compatible Windows Mobile 6 handheld with the FlexNet CommandLinkT"^ field tool. The Sensus 5501 handheld offers 3 to 5 meter accuracy and uses the WGS84 datum. Sensus also recommends the Trimble NomadT"' handheld which offers 2 to 5 meter accuracy and a configurable datum.

CopyrightOO 2009 United Pipe & Supply 1 13 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technica! Specification The FlexNet system is the most reliable AMI system available on the market today. This has been demonstrated at more than 172 individual utility deployments in North America. Sensus has shipped more than 3 Million FlexNet endpoints to date, and deployed more than 400 TGBs. One of the highlights of the FlexNet system is the extremely low number of collection points required to . cover Renton's service area. Since there are very few TGBs deployed, this radically reduces the amount of preventative maintenance that must be performed to keep the system running. This also radically lowers the number of backhaul connections required, which lowers long term system costs dramatically. In fact, Sensus has demonstrated a better than 10 to 1 coverage ratio to other systems, meaning that for every 10 backhaul connections required by other systems, only 1 will be required for FlexNet. Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 114 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specificafion Preventative maintenance provisions for the TGBs include: • Monitoring backhaul connection status (facilitated by FlexNet automated system monitoring alerts) • Check email regularly for FlexNet ONMS alerts issued by the system • Checking transceiver fans and filters and clean if necessary (recommended every 6 months) • Checking fans for smooth operation (recommended every 6 months) • Checking backup battery terminals for corrosion (recommended every 6 months) • Check for warning lights and tighten any loose nuts or bolts (recommended every 6 months) • Verifying RF antenna cabling and antenna is secure (recommended every 6 months) • Checking emergency intake and exhaust fan filters — Outdoor TGBs only (recommended every 6 months) • Checking and cleaning the Air Conditioner Condenser Intake filter (located outside of unit) — Outdoor TGBs only; the TGB will issue an alarm if this filter becomes clogged and condenser temperatures rise above 170°F. (recommended every 6 months) • Testing emergency intake and exhaust fans — Outdoor TGBs only (recommended every 6 months) • Checking results of automated backup battery tests — Outdoor TGBs only (recommended every 6 months). • Replacing TGB backup batteries (approximately every 10 years). Preventative Maintenance for the RNI/Software includes: • Checking system throughput (recommended monthly or as desired) • Checking for latest 3�d party software patches and updates — i.e. Microsoft (recommended every 6 months or via automated updates) • Checking for latest Sensus software updates (recommended yearly or as desired). Sensus includes all software updates as part of the FlexNet support contract proposed. Sensus support staff will perform all software updates remotely via secure VPN with Renton's permission. See Section viii, Appendix 9—"AMI-453 Tower Gateway Base Station Maintenance" for more information regarding TGB preventative maintenance. Copyright0 2009 United Pipe & Supply 1 1$ City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technica! Specification The FlexNet system is the most robust and reliable AMI network available today. The system is trusted and used by large investor owned utilities such as Portland General Electric (850,000 services), Southern Company (4 Million Services) and Alliant Energy (1.4 Million Services). The FlexNet system is designed to prevent data loss for up to 7 days, even in the event of a total collection system failure. No other system provides this level of redundancy and reliability. The Sensus support contract provides for an on-site technician within 48 hours of problem notification, if the issue cannot be solved via remote support provisions. This includes TGB hardware failures. Additionally, Sensus provides regionally stocked spares for equipment such as TGB transceivers, RNI servers, and endpoint programming equipment. All work will be performed by Sensus technicians, relieving Renton of this responsibility. Sensus maintains regional support o�ces via its partner USA Mobility (including offices in Seattle, WA) to provide rapid and effective system hardware support if needed. AMR System Equipment � Response Time Any required system hardware including Will be shipped within 48 hours of TGB transceivers, endpoint programming notification of issue equipment, RNI servers (preloaded with required software). v.10. Payment — The City will make payment on systems and equipment that meet the requirements of, and have been accepted by, the City. Acceptance will be based upon demonstration that the system components under consideration for payment have been placed into full operation to include meter reading data being successfully being passed to the utility billing system (CIS) in production mode and other monitoring / trending / alerting / analysis functions being successfully used in production / operational mode. An invoicing format acceptable to the City will be determined during contract negotiations.

Quality Control — The City is expecting the System Vendor to design and furnish an ANiR system that has an estimated operating life of 20 years requiring a minimum of repair, maintenance and replacement due to design, materials, and workmanship failures. Describe fhe quality control policies and procedures that the System Vendor has adopted to ensure quality system design, manufacturing, component sourcing and any other aspect that affect the serviceability and useful life of the equipment and soffware that will be furnished for the Project. Also describe the failure analysis process that is used when product is returned. Sensus utilizes FMEA for analysis of potential failure modes within a specific product for classification by severity or determination of the effect of failures on the product. It is primarily used from an electrical and mechanical perspective of a product in various phases of the product life cycle. Sensus defines failure modes as any errors or defects in a product or process, design, or item, especially those that affect the customer, and can be potential or actual. Sensus has dedicated resources assigned to support this production at its design centers and on site at the CEM locations. All Sensus facilities are ISO 9001 certified. Sensus also has a new, extensive Quality Assurance and Reliability labs up and running to ensure quality products are delivered to the customer and process are maintain on the factory floor. All processes associated with production of the SmartPoint Radios are verifiable and Sensus conducts routine audits to ensure compliance with the quality standards. In addition to the personnel additions to the quality team, additional resources are being added to the manufacturing engineering and CEM management teams this fiscal year. All products are subject to accelerated life testing to 90% confidence before shipment as well as calculated MTBF during design stages. This is performed by elevated temperature over time on a specific number of products. Currently, Sensus captures all field failures within a database controlled by customer service which we utilize to determine potential systemic issue that need to be analyzed further through means of root cause analysis and testing. If an issue is determined to be present, it would be Copyrighf0 2009 United Pipe & Supply I 21 City of Renton Water Meter Automated Meter Reading System Technical Specification handled through corrective actions and proper steps would be taken to address these issues within the customer environment to minimize any possible impact to the network. Sensus also performs HALT testing early in our design process to find weak area's within our designs and address them early in the design stage. During product reliability testing the products are subject to a number of environmental tests including, but not limited to Temperature, Humidiry, Rain, Solar Radiation, Mechanical Shock and Vibration, ESD and Surge as well as corner testing to produce failures to understand our limited of each critical component. v.14. Project Administration — The System Vendor will be required to participate in various meetings from time to time, issue reports, establish and amend delivery schedules and other routine items to administer the Project. Please describe the general plan that the System Vendor will follow regarding project administration issues.

There is no cost adjustment for this addendum. The City's selection panel (Water Engineering, Water Maintenance, Finance/IS, and Utility Billing) needs additional time to evaluate and rank the proposals submitted by the four vendors: Datamatic, Itron, Neptune, and Sensus. The selection panel has recently completed the evaluation and will report our recommendation to the Administration within the next 2 weeks. We have a meeting with the City Attorney on April 19 to review our selection process in case we receive protests from the unsuccessful vendors. HDR has completed all other tasks of their contract, and the only task remaining is to assist the Water Utility in contract negotiations with the successful vendor. We anticipate that this work will be completed by no later than September 30, 2010, and as such, we need to extend the contract completion time.
