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.
