Lori McWilliams, MMC G� 0 ddo7Nf Village Clerk �4 Village of Tequesta 345 Tequesta Drive 561- 768 -0700 Tequesta, FL 33469 www.tequesta.org Date: November 16, 2015 To: Michael Couzzo, Village Manager Re: Sole Source Provider of Meters Mr. Couzzo: The Water Distribution Department is proceeding with the aging water meter replacement program. HD Supply is the sole source supplier for the Sensus IPERL Meters. These are the types of meters that are already installed in the Water Distribution System of the Village of Tequesta. Sensus brand meters arrive compatible with the Customer Service billing software. These meters are highly accurate, very reliable, and tamper - resistant. For this reason, I do not believe it is in the Village's interest to entertain a quote from any other manufacturer of meters. I would recommend that we proceed with the purchase of meters from HD Supply. Please let me know if you have any questions.
