HomeMy WebLinkAboutM.E Simpson Company - Spring Fall Large Meter Testing 4.23.24-12.31.24 $15,000
To: Luke Stowe, City Manager
Edgar Cano, Public Works Agency Director
From: Darrell A. King, Water Production Bureau Chief
Subject: Spring and Fall Large Meter Testing
Date: May 1, 2024
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends the Public Works Agency Director approve the single source
purchase of spring and fall large water meter testing services from M.E. Simpson
Company (3406 Enterprise Ave., Valparaiso, IN. 46383) in the amount of $15,000.00.
Funding Source:
Funding for this purchase is provided by the Water Fund account, 510.40.4210.62245,
which has a FY 2024 budget allocation of $198,000.00 and a YTD balance of
$118,093.11.
Summary:
The master meters for our wholesale customers are required by contract to be tested.
The master meters are also used for reporting pumpage to regulatory agencies
including non-revenue water to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.
There are two companies that test water meters of this size in our area, Severn Trent
and M.E. Simpson. We have done business with Severn Trent in the past for this type of
work and were highly dissatisfied with their service. We have checked with additional
firms that have performed smaller meter testing for us (Water Resources and HBK) and
neither of these firms test meters of the required size of our sc ope. The other
companies also do not perform the preferred pitot testing method.
