Case Study 5: Smart Metering Procurement and Contract Award
Every utility has unique natural and infrastructure features that influence how smart metering will work for the utility. MeterSYS identifies the best options for the utility through propagation analysis and utility demographics to design and select technology and field operation solutions that seamlessly align to long-term operational goals of being a sustainable and cost effective utility.
MeterSYS is a nimble organization and was able to respond to the needs for quick evaluation, design, procurement, contract negotiation, and award due financial requirements of the City for execution. Our team completed all of the requirements for award within 90 days, substantially improved the contractual requirements of the vendor and installer, and reduced the overall project costs at a level greater than the professional service fees for evaluation through award.
By combining our team’s deep experience and training in the smart metering industry, we help our utility client reduce their overall program risks through effective and detailed project management oversight. Our responsibilities were completely to represent the interests of each utility client throughout each phase of implementation. MeterSYS was able to provide the utility with structured Program Management to ensure that all of your project components are executed on time and on budget.
