Resolution to Approve Amendment No.1 to the Annual Software Support, Maintenance and License Fees Agreement for AclaraONE with Aclara Technologies LLC ($19,420.82, Total Contract not to exceed $240,028.18)
Memorandum
Your approval is requested for Amendment No.1 to the annual software support, maintenance and license fees for AclaraONE with Aclara Technologies LLC.
Council resolution R-19-512 approved annual software support, maintenance and license fees for five years to Aclara Technologies LLC for AclaraONE. AclaraONE is used to read water meters remotely. During installation, the project team elected to utilize the Aclara Wireless Network (AWN) to send meter reads to the office from the data collector units positioned throughout the City. The original maintenance agreement failed to include the language authorizing this. In addition, Public Works needs to begin phasing in mobile programming software. The current meter programmers are no longer being made and there are no more spare units available.
Amendment No.1 to the Aclara software license agreement authorizes both the use of the AWN and the Mobile Programmers. Fees for the mobile programmers and the AWN with 5% yearly increases after year two of the agreement are listed below.
