3.3. INSTALLATION - GENERAL
A. Install modified bitumen membranes and flashings in accordance with manufacturer's instructions and with the recommendations provided by the National Roofing Contractors Association's Roofing & Waterproofing Manual, the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association, and applicable codes, B. General: Avoid installation of modified bitumen membranes at temperatures lower than 40-45 degrees F. When work at such temperatures unavoidable use the following precautions:
1. Take extra care during cold weather installation and when ambient temperatures are affected by wind or humidity, to ensure adequate bonding is achieved between the surfaces to be joined. Use extra care at material seam welds and where adhesion of the applied product to the appropriately prepared substrate as the substrate can be affected by such temperature constraints as well.
2. Unrolling of cold materials, under low ambient conditions must be avoided to prevent the likelihood of unnecessary stress cracking. Rolls must be at least 40 degrees Fat the time of application. If the membrane roll becomes stiff or difficult to install, it must be replaced with roll from a heated storage area,
07 55 00- MODIFIED MEMBRANE ROOFING
C. Commence installation of the roofing system at the lowest point of the roof (or roof area), working up the slope toward the highest point. Lap sheets shingle fashion so as to constantly shed water
D. All slopes greater than 2:12 require back-nailing to prevent slippage of the ply sheets. Use ring or spiral-shank 1 inch cap nails, or screws and plates at a rate of 1 fastener per ply (including the membrane) at each insulation stop. Place insulation stops at 16 ft o.c. for slopes less than 3: 12 and 4 feet o.c. for slopes greater than 3: 12, On non-insulated systems, nail each ply directly into the deck at the rate specified above. When slope exceeds 2: 12, install all plies parallel to the slope (strapping) to facilitate backnailing, Install 4 additional fasteners at the upper edge of the membrane when strapping the plies.
3.4. INSULATION INSTALLATION:

Should conflict of interest principles preclude a single legal counsel from representing both City and Contractor, or should City otherwise find Contractor's legal counsel unacceptable, then Contractor shall reimburse the City its costs of defense, including without limitation reasonable legal counsels fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation. The Contractor shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against the City ( and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers) with respect to claims determined by a trier of fact to have been the result of the Contractor's negligent, reckless or wrongful performance. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this Agreement.

The following requirements apply to all claims to which this section applies:
(a) Claim Submittal. The claim shall be in writing and include the documents necessary to substantiate the claim. Claims governed by this procedure must be filed on or before the date of final payment. Nothing in this section is intended to extend the time limit or supersede notice requirements otherwise provided in the Agreement for the filing of claims, including all requirements pertaining to compensation or payment for extra work, disputed work, and/or changed conditions. Failure to follow such contractual requirements shall bar any claims or subsequent lawsuits for compensation or payment thereon. (b)
following format:

Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim will be processed and made within 60 days after the City issues its written statement. (i) If the City needs approval from the City Council to provide the Contractor a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion of the claim, and the City Council does not meet within the 45 days or within the mutually agreed to extension of time following receipt of a claim sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the City shall have up to three days following the next duly publicly noticed meeting of the City Council after the 45-day period, or extension, expires to provide the Contractor a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion. (ii) Within 30 days of receipt of a claim, the City may request in writing additional documentation suppotiing the claim or relating to defenses or claims the City may have -I 9-
01424.0001/923138. I
against the Contractor. If additional information is thereafter required, it shall be requested and provided pursuant to this subdivision, upon mutual agreement of City and the Contractor. (iii) The City's written response to the claim, as further documented, shall be submitted to the Contractor within 30 days (if the claim is less than $50,000, within 15 days) after receipt of the further documentation, or within a period of time no greater than that taken by the Contractor in producing the additional information or requested documentation, whichever is greater.
(d) Meet and Confer. If the Contractor disputes the City's written response, or the City fails to respond within the time prescribed, the Contractor may so notify the City, in writing, either within 15 days of receipt of the City's response or within 15 days of the City's failure to respond within the time prescribed, respectively, and demand an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand, the City shall schedule a meet and confer conference within 30 days for settlement of the dispute. ( e) Mediation. Within 10 business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if the claim or any portion of the claim remains in dispute, the City shall provide the Contractor a written statement identifying the portion of the claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after the City issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the claim, as identified by the contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with the City and the Contractor sharing the associated costs equally. The City and Contractor shall mutually agree to a mediator within 10 business days after the disputed portion of the claim has been identified in writing, unless the parties agree to select a mediator at a later time. (i) If the parties cannot agree upon a mediator, each party shall select a mediator and those mediators shall select a qualified neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the claim. Each party shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator. (ii) For purposes of this section, mediation includes any nonbinding process, including, but not limited to, neutral evaluation or a dispute review board, in which an independent third party or board assists the parties in dispute resolution through negotiation or by issuance of an evaluation. Any mediation utilized shall conform to the timeframes in this section. (iii) Unless otherwise agreed to by the City and the contractor in writing, the mediation conducted pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation under Public Contract Code Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced. (iv) All unresolved claims shall be considered jointly 111 a single mediation, unless a new unrelated claim arises after mediation is completed. (f) City's Responses. The City's failure to respond to a claim from the Contractor within the time periods described in this section or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section shall result in the claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A claim that is denied by reason of the City's failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section, shall not constitute and adverse finding with regard to -20-
01424.0001/923!38.1
the merits of the claim or the responsibility of qualifications of the Contractor. City's failure to respond shall not waive City's rights to any subsequent procedures for the resolution of disputed claims.
(g) Government Code Claims. If following the mediation, the claim or any portion remains in dispute, the Contractor must comply with the claim procedures set forth in Government Code Section 900 et seq. prior to filing any lawsuit against the City. Such Government Code claims and any subsequent lawsuit based upon the Government Code claims shall be limited to those matters that remain unresolved after all procedures pertaining to extra work, disputed work, construction claims, and/or changed conditions, including any required mediation, have been followed by Contractor. If no such Government Code claim is submitted, or if the prerequisite contractual requirements are not satisfied, no action against the City may be filed. A Government Code claim must be filed no earlier than the date that Contractor completes all contractual prerequisites to filing a Government Code claim, including any required mediation.
A Government Code claim shall be inclusive of all unresolved claims unless a new unrelated claim arises after the Government Code claim is submitted. For purposes of Government Code Section 900 et seq., the running of the period of time within which a claim must be filed shall be tolled from the time the Contractor submits his or her written claim to the City until the time the claim is denied, including any period of time utilized by the meet and confer conference or mediation that does not result in a complete resolutions of all claims.

The mediation process shall provide for the selection within 15 days by both parties of a disinterested third person as mediator, shall be commenced within 3 0 days of the submittal, and shall be concluded within 15 days from the commencement of the mediation unless a time requirement is extended upon a good cause showing to the court or by stipulation of both parties.

Inspection
DATE: 12/06/2024
Fascia wood is rotting out around the
building. The decorative wood is gone in a
_majority of the areas besides the rake side.
Photo Report: Dec 06, 2024
A gutter was installed on the backside of the
building but was not installed in the other
areas.
Shingles are falling off on all sides of the
roof and are no longer protecting the
building. There are two layers of shingles
which is why the roof is not leaking but it
will start leaking soon. With the first layer of
shingles being old we should get an
asbestos test on the shingles. We also need
to have an asbestos test done on the single
ply section since it is most likely an overlay
over an old built up roof section.
Photo Report: Dec 06, 2024
Images of the shingles falling off. Water is
able to enter into the layers of shingles now.
Many shingles missing on this roof. The
single ply roof has nails or fasteners
showing through the membrane. In order to
..:. replace the shingles we do need to replace
this membrane roof to properly seal this
building off. The shingles will run
underneath the new roof system (where the
single ply roof is currently) so that no water
!~,._""'S:,'.;r."': .. -..-,.,.~ can enter the top of the shingles. Another option here would be to install a standing
seam metal panel system.
Photo Report: Dec 06, 2024
Fasteners poking through the membrane.
This will heat the membrane from inside
due to thermal bridging. Installing a two ply
system helps with this since the base sheet
will be the one making contact with the
fasteners and not the cap sheet.
The pipe jacks are in decent condition, the
caulking on the jacks is completely worn out
and needs to be replaced. The shingles are
loosing their granules and showing scrim.
Photo Report: Dec 06, 2024
Nails backing out in the clad metal and
pushing through the membrane.
Photo Report: Dec 06, 2024
Shingles missing in many areas. This
exposes the nails in the nail line of the
shingles and will lead to leaks.
Photo Report: Dec 06, 2024
Termination is not done properly and will
leak soon. Nails backing out and causing the
membrane to burn out.
The caulking is no longer doing its job. Once
the caulking begins to crack water is able to
enter through this pipe penetration.
Photo Report: Dec 06, 2024
The caulking is no longer doing its job. Once
the caulking begins to crack water is able to
enter through this pipe penetration.
Missing shingles and moss growing on the
shingles. The nail line is exposed where the
shingles are missing and will be a leak. If
any of these nails start to back out the water
will have a direct line into the building.
Photo Report: Dec 06, 2024
The old shingles can be seen here. This is
most likely the reason the building does not
leak.

Square Footage: 4,000
Budget Range: $100,000.00 - $175,000.00
Action Year: 2025
Expected Life (Years): -
This roofing assessment was completed on 12-05-2024. The purpose of this assessment was to evaluate the existing roof conditions and provide recommendations as well as budget costs for the recommended solutions. The visual roof assessment consisted of walking the subject roof areas and documenting the existing conditions of the surfacing, membrane, flashings, drainage, and other related rooftop components. We also talked to available on site personnel and walked accessible building interiors to document reported leak locations.
Project budget/ cost estimates are approximates for budgetary purposes and are based upon current labor and material rates for the geographical location. Roof budget costs are based on the roofing system noted below, manufacturer inspections, and warranties based on the system chosen. Actual project costs will depend on the quality and quantity of materials used, options chosen by the designer and owner, quality and availability of contractors, extent of work performed at one time, and time of year the work is performed.
The Budgets below are the amount they are do to multiple factors about this building. We do not know whether or not Asbestos will be found in the felts or in the BUR underneath the Single Ply roof. We also do not know what the deck will look like once the Shingles and Single Ply are torn off. We also are not sure when the City plans on moving forward with this project whether it is 2025, 2026, or past these years. We factor all of this in to come up with a Square Foot Price as an estimated budget. Contractor bids will vary depending on the factors listed above.
Options -
• Estimated Budget, Option A- $100,000.00 The reroof option includes a complete removal of the existing roofing system, deck inspection, and installation of a 30 year Modified Roof System where the existing Single Ply Roof is, and the installation of a 50 Year Shingle Roof with a High Temperature Self Adhering Underlayment where the existing Shingles are.
• Estimated Budget, Option B - $175,000.00 The reroof option includes a complete removal of the existing roofing system, deck inspection, and installation of a 30 year Standing Seam Metal Roof System with a High Temperature Self Adhering Underlayment at all areas of the roof. This would give the building a newer look but would also allow for a uniform look by removing the 2 RoofType element.

Resolution Approving the Purchase of One (1) New IBAK Mainlite Mobile Inspection Camera from Municipal Maintenance Equipment, in the Amount Not to Exceed $89,371.08 and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute all Required Documents.
April 1, 2025
Anthony Chavarria, Public Works Director
Jose A Ramirez, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Livingston approving the purchase of one (1) New IBAK Mainlite Mobile Inspection Camera from Municipal Maintenance Equipment, in the amount of $89,371.08 and Authorizing the City Manager to execute all required documents.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Livingston manages a complex sewer system comprising 3,525 houses and commercial sewer accounts spanning 35 miles of sanitary sewer lines. In the past, the city has strategically managed this system by borrowing camera equipment from surrounding municipalities, utilizing this technology on an as-needed basis when encountering operational issues.
As the city continues to grow and evolve, it is imperative to transition from reactive to proactive management of our sewer infrastructure. The purchase of our own camera system for sewer inspection represents a crucial investment for the City of Livingston.
Currently, several hotspots within our sewer network require urgent inspection to prevent emergency issues from escalating into significant disruptions or system failures. The capacity to locally inspect these areas empowers the city to promptly address potential blockages, structural weaknesses, or other anomalies before they develop into more serious problems. Video camera inspections are critical for several reasons:
1. Preventive Maintenance: Regular camera inspections allow for the early detection of minor issues such as tree root intrusions, debris build-up, or pipe degradation. By identifying these problems early, the city can perform the necessary maintenance to prevent costly repairs or replacements.
2. Operational Efficiency: Owning camera equipment improves operational efficiency by reducing dependency on neighboring cities' resources and schedules. It allows the city to inspect and assess sewer lines immediately when concerns arise, ensuring quick responses and maintaining uninterrupted service for residents and businesses.
3. Data Collection and Planning: Consistent inspection generates valuable data that supports long-term planning and investment decisions. With video footage and inspection records, the city can better forecast system needs, prioritize infrastructure improvements, and allocate resources more effectively.
4. Cost Savings: Although the initial purchase of a camera system requires capital, it ultimately leads to cost savings by reducing the need for emergency repairs and minimizing the likelihood of environmental damage and regulatory fines associated with sewage overflow incidents.
5. Public Health and Environmental Protection: Timely inspection and maintenance of sewer lines are integral to protecting public health and preserving the environment. By ensuring our sewer system functions optimally, we safeguard against potential sewage leaks and contamination, which can have profound ecological and health impacts.
Securing our own camera inspection equipment is, therefore, a strategic move that aligns with the city's commitment to maintaining a reliable, efficient, and safe sewer system for all citizens. This proactive approach will position Livingston to better manage its infrastructure and support the community's current and future needs.
DISCUSSION:
City staff will use the procurement services from SourceWell to meet the City of Livingston Municipal Code Title 1, Chapter 11 for purchasing. SourceWell is a public agency that offers national, competitively solicited purchasing contracts that meet the California Government Code Section 6502 for cooperative purchasing agreements.
The new IBAK Mainlite mobile Sewer Line Inspection Camera will be purchased through SourceWell's contract with Municipal Maintenance Equipment (MME). The quote for the IBAK Mainlite mobile camera is attached.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$89,371.08 Expended from the approved FY2024/2025 budget from the Water Enterprise Fund (2100- 810-7410) and Wastewater Enterprise Fund (2101-815-7410).

STAFF REPORT
Adopt a Resolution Approving the Purchase One (1) New Asphalt Hotbox (KM 8000T 4 Ton Trailer Mounted) from Crafco Inc, in the Amount of 45,255.78 and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute all Required Documents
April 1, 2025
Anthony Chavarria, Director of Public Works
Jose A Ramirez, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution approving the purchase one (1) new asphalt hotbox (KM 8000T 4 Ton Trailer Mounted) from Crafco Inc, in the amount of $45,255.78 and authorizing the City Manager to execute all required documents.
BACKGROUND:
The Public Works department requires a portable asphalt hotbox to enhance the department's ability to store and transport hot asphalt, ensuring that repairs can be made promptly and effectively. Asphalt hotboxes are critical for the preservation of asphalt materials, allowing for the storage and reheating of asphalt mix, which is vital for patching potholes, repairing road surfaces, and carrying out other street maintenance.
Currently, the Public Works Department purchases hot asphalt from a vendor, but this practice is limited by the requirement to use the material within a specified timeframe, as it becomes unusable if not applied promptly.
Purchasing a new asphalt hotbox will enhance operational efficiency, reduce waste by enabling the reuse of asphalt mix, promote safety, and improve the quality of road maintenance services provided to the community.
DISCUSSION:
City staff will use the procurement services from SourceWell to meet the City of Livingston Municipal Code Title 1, Chapter 11 for purchasing. SourceWell is a public agency that offers national, competitively solicited purchasing contracts that meet the California Government Code Section 6502 for cooperative purchasing agreements.
The new portable asphalt hotbox will be purchased through SourceWell's contract with Crafco Inc. The quote for the asphalt hotbox is attached.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$45,255.78 will be expended from FY 2024-2025 approved budget from the Public Works Fund (1100- 105-7410), Gas Tax Fund (1200-105-7410), Road Maintenance & Rehabilitation Fund (RMRA) (1223- 105-4437), Water Enterprise Fund (2100-810-7410) and the Wastewater Fund (2101-815-7410).

STAFF REPORT
Resolution (1) Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Professional Service Agreement with Aqua Metric for the Installation of Sensus FlexNet AMI Technology with Aqua Metric to Provide Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Technology in an Amount not to Exceed $101,121.75, (2) Waive Formal Bidding Requirements as Outlined in Section 1-11-6 and (3) Authorizing the City Manager to Execute all Required Documents April 1, 2025
Anthon.y Chavarria, Public Works Director
Jose A. Ramirez, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution (1) authorizing the City Manager to execute a professional service agreement with Aqua Metric for the installation of Sensus FlexNet AMI Technology to provide Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Technology in an amount not to exceed $101 ,121 .75 and (2) waive formal bidding requirements as outlined in Section 1-11-6 and authorizing the City Manager to execute all required documents.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Livingston has experienced significant growth, resulting in approximately 3,600 water service connections catering to its residents, businesses, schools, and churches. Historically, City staff have relied on a drive-by water meter reading system to gather monthly water consumption data. This method involves a staff member driving around town equipped with a truck, computer, and antenna to collect the necessary readings. When operating smoothly, this process typically consumes 2-3 days each month, diverting valuable personnel resources from other essential duties.
To address this inefficiency, the City of Livingston is transitioning to a fixed-base antenna system using Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) technology. AMI allows for instant and accurate data collection from all water meters, enabling any meter to be read within seconds. This new approach will eliminate the need for staff to manually drive around for meter readings.
As part of this transition, a propagation study has been conducted to determine the number of fixedbase antennas required for optimal coverage of the city's water system. The study recommends the installation of two antennas to ensure redundancy, although a single antenna will be sufficient to cover the system initially.
The city's water system already incorporates Sensus smart meters. City staff will also replace the current 520R MXU meter antennas with new smart 520M AMI antennas. These replacements will occur gradually, as existing antennas fail and as time permits.
This fixed-based system will significantly reduce resident complaints about unexplained water usage by offering detailed reports, indicating both time and volume of consumption. The system's ability to read meters frequently- every few minutes-ensures precise monitoring.
Overall, this initiative represents a substantial improvement for both the residents of Livingston and the city's operational efficiency, fostering a more sustainable community.
DISCUSSION:
The Livingston Municipal Code requires formal bidding procedures for all purchases over $10,000 unless the formal bidding process is undesirable, impossible, unavailing, or incongruous as determined by the City Manager. Section 1-11-6 waiver of formal bid procedures of the Municipal Code states that formal bid procedure of items over $10,000 can only be waived if the purchase is (A) Of urgent necessity for the preservation of life, health or property, (B) Waived by Council resolution passed by at least four affirmative votes; and/or (C) Available from only one source. Sole source must be adequately justified.
Aqua Metric meets sole source criteria justification due to being the only authorized Sensus water meter distributor in our area that sells Sensus water meters in our water system.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$101,121.75 will be expended from the approved Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Water Enterprise Budget (2100-810-7530).
Annual Software costs will be $25,039.49 for the second year and will be budgeted in future fiscal years as part of the budget with a 3% annual increase.

The FlexNet system is a point-to-multipoint communication network that uses FCC-licensed, primary-use RF spectrum. It is the most complete communication network solution on the market today that is capable of supporting multiple applications.
Sensus develops and manufactures a complete complement of AMI communication network products. This includes electric, water, and gas meters, communication modules, solutions for distribution automation (DA) communications, and communication products that support third-party products and applications to meet the business and operational requirements of utilities.
The following diagram shows the high-level system architecture of the FlexNet system, in which FlexNet-enabled endpoints communicate wirelessly to long-range FlexNet Base Stations via the FlexNet communication network. The base stations pass the data to the FlexNet Head End System software, which interfaces with the utility's existing software systems and passes the appropriate data, such as billing and outage data, to each. FlexNet system communication is completely two-way from end to end.

FlexNet Communication Network
Sensus' industry-leading, two-way wireless AMI communication network consists of multiple synchronized, highperformance, 900-MHz, FCC-licensed, primary-use RF bands. The FlexNet system operates on FCC-protected, extended-range, and extended-penetration Personal Communications Service (PCS) frequencies. Top-level specifications of the wireless solution include the following:
Protected FCC-licensed, primary-use spectrum. No one else will be allowed to use the RF frequencies that Sensus licenses to your utility.
FlexNet-enabled endpoints communicate directly to the FlexNet communication network.
Fewer network collectors (FlexNet Base Stations) mean less infrastructure. FlexNet-enabled endpoints communicate at up to 2-watts of power, resulting in the fewest number of collectors of all AMI systems.
Deploy network collectors on hardened vertical assets that stay up during storms. • Best-performing AMI system for small and large outage events like hurricanes, storms, and ice and wind events.
Forward-looking development roadmaps and backward compatibility for customers mean no endpoint obsolescence. The FlexNet communication network, and the endpoints you install, will be supported for the life of the FlexNet system.
Base stations operate at up to 32-watts of power, enabling overlapping RF coverage of endpoints in the field.
Management and troubleshooting of the network is provided by advanced, industry-leading status dashboards, with drill-down capabilities to analyze network base stations and endpoints.
The FlexNet communication network design supports the ability to divide assigned RF spectrum up into separate channels, which separate different kinds of messages from each other. This reduces congestion on the network and speeds up message throughput.
The following diagram shows how FlexNet-enabled endpoints communicate with FlexNet Base Stations over the air via the FlexNet communication network.

Like AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and other mission-critical data communication networks, FlexNet uses FCC-licensed, primary-use spectrum. The FlexNet communication network boasts five key range and performance criteria:
Use of existing vertical assets and efficient high-gain antennas.
Sensus' acquisition of clear, nationwide, primary-use radio spectrum with a low noise floor years ago. • Design and use of high-power SmartPoint communication modules (up to 2-watts) with state-of-the-art, alldigital modulation techniques that can be updated over the air. • Design and use of highly sensitive (-120 dBm to -130 dBm), all-Digital Signal Processor (DSP)-based transceivers (base stations) that can be updated over the air.
A key to achieving high-quality performance from for the FlexNet system was the acquisition of FCC-licensed, primary-use spectrum for the best and most reliable network operation. To that end, Sensus obtained nationwide and local licenses. This RF spectrum is 100% primary-use, meaning that Sensus has primary rights to its RF spectrum, with no other entities allowed to use the channels without Sensus's permission. Additionally, RF interference is regulated and prohibited by the FCC.
Another advantage to the licensed frequency band is that the limits for total RF output power are higher than those for systems using the unlicensed ISM band, where many different communication solutions have to coexist. The ISM band is typically limited from 100 mW to 1 watt.
Sensus' FCC-licensed spectrum operates at higher power levels, and this power translates directly into a greater range for their radio system, with one base station capable of covering tens of thousands of meters. This, among other advantages, means that FlexNet system costs can be amortized over several more devices than is typical for other AMI systems. FlexNet Base Stations
FlexNet Base Stations can be installed in substations, on existing vertical assets, on water towers, on poles, and on buildings. Sensus base stations provide field-proven, overlapping, high-bandwidth communications to all FlexNet endpoints in the field.
The FlexNet system is recognized as being the highest-performance, highest-bandwidth, and most reliable and resilient AMI communication network on the market today, providing predictable and reliable service for dense urban, suburban, and rural applications - even in extended power outage situations.
FlexNet uses multiple wireless modulations; multiple packet sizes; multiple simultaneously operating, FCC-licensed spectrum bands; multiple RF frequencies; and multiple RF subchannels to expedite low-latency, full-duplex, twoway communications in a wide variety of AMI and smart grid applications.
Backhaul Communication
Sensus designed their FlexNet Base Stations to be as flexible as possible to support a variety of backhaul communication options from the base station to the central host server. This interoperability helps utilities work with their preferred communication systems and helps them realize long-term technical and financial goals.
Base stations support Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) using a standard Register Jack 45 (RJ45) Fast Ethernet connection. If desired, different backhaul types can be used at different base stations throughout the same network. Common backhaul options used by customers include: Fiber; Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT); 4G/5G cellular; Microwave; and Point-to-point radio.
The FlexNet system operates most efficiently with a backhaul communications latency of less than 100 milliseconds (ms) and a minimum data speed of 256 kilobytes per second (kbps), with higher speed backhaul facilitating faster file transfers (such as firmware downloads).

Due to the many solutions that can be used by a Utility, our preference is to work with the Utility to determine the best solution for each site. All sites do not need to have the same Backhaul solution; however, each site must have a Static IP Address and be available to connect from the Utility data center. Aqua-Metric will help the Utility discuss and develop the best backhaul option.
FlexNet-Enabled Endpoints
The Sensus SmartPoint communication modules provide two-way wireless communications capabilities for water, gas, and electric meters. Water and gas endpoints typically transmit their hourly billing reads every four hours.
Electric meters can be programmed to send data as fast as every five minutes for billing reading. FlexNet SmartPoint modules transmit and receive data via the FlexNet communication network to provide meter readings, on-demand information, remote disconnect and reconnect functionalities, and diagnostic data, and to receive and validate configuration changes, new protocols and modulations, and firmware updates.
The following diagram shows the FlexNet-enabled endpoints that can be deployed as a part of a FlexNet system.

Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) is one of Sensus' most exemplary and longstanding customers in southern California. EMWD originally installed Sensus direct read water meters over twenty years ago, when Sensus first acquired Precision metering. The Utility was thoroughly impressed with the mechanical multi-jet meters produced by Precision meters and Sensus thereafter. As a progressive Utility, EMWD upgraded from manually reading their meters to Sensus' legacy drive-by solution utilizing a vehicle transceiver unit and 520R MXUs. This state-of-the art technology helped the City maintain a better understanding of their end-customer's water usage and perform water meter reading quicker than before. During the deployment process, Sensus discontinued their multi-jet metering line, which led the Utility to unfortunately move forward with another water meter manufacturer. Through this transition, EMWD still utilized their drive-by system and continued to deploy Sensus MXU's (radio transmitter) on their substitute water meters. While doing so, Aqua-Metric provided continued support to EMWD for their drive-by System and meter reading products.
In 2010, Aqua-Metric and Sensus offered EMWD a Pilot Agreement to upgrade their drive-by system to newly released AMI technology. This initially began as a 500-endpoint deployment, which slowly expanded to a fully implemented AMI solution. In 2017, EMWD committed to expanding their AMI solution throughout their entire distribution network. EMWD elected to move forward with installing remote disconnect water meters (the Sensus ally meters) for residential applications. Since upgrading to AMI, Sensus FlexNet has provided the City with increased efficiency and enhanced customer service to their end-customers.
To date, EMWD continues to purchase meter endpoints, ally remote disconnect water meters, iPERL residential water meters, and OMNI commercial water meter. Aqua-Metric continues to provide AMI system and product support to the Utility.

Olivenhain Municipal Water District (Olivenhain) is a longstanding Sensus customer, who has been continually purchasing Sensus products since the 1990s. Our history with Olivenhain includes the District upgrading their meter reading software to be relevant with emerging technology. In 1990, the District purchased an early version of the Sensus touch read system. Soon thereafter, the District upgraded to the original Sensus AMR drive-by solution, utilizing a vehicle transceiver unit and 505/520R radio transmitters. This system was in use for over ten years, when the City upgraded to a newer drive-by unit, the Vehicle Gateway Basestation, so that migratable SmartPoints could be read. Along with the software and system improvements, Olivenhain replaced their entire distribution system with Sensus SRII residential water meters with encoded registers and updated older model commercial water meters to the OMNI metering line.
In 2016, Olivenhain made the ultimate decision to upgrade to Sensus' most robust technological endeavor of fixed based AMI. The district implemented a phased-in approach to affix 27,000 two-way 520M water endpoints to their existing Sensus water meters, thus migrating to the Sensus FlexNet AMI system with Sensus Analytics meter data management software. The District implemented a ten-year phase-in plan for the entire AMI project, allowing an annual budget of approximately $600,000 per year. As of now, Olivenhain is approximately 80% complete and have erected six basestation transceivers. Most recently, Olivenhain released an RFP for a customer-facing portal, which they will integrate with their current Sensus FlexNet AMI system. Aqua-Metric is working closely with the City to finalize their upgrade endeavor and incorporate our Sensus Analytics Customer Portal application. For the City's AMI project, Aqua-Metric provided network installation and training, infrastructure installation and commissioning, project management and system support. To date, Aqua-Metric continues to provide ongoing support services to Olivenhain.

In 2013, Glendora began purchasing iPERL meters and initiated an AMI system pilot in 2014. For their AMI System pilot, Aqua-Metric installed one basestation transceiver, which covered approximately 75% of their service area. After the 12-month pilot concluded, Glendora implemented a city-wide overhaul of their mechanical water meters and AMR system and proceeded with a fully deployed AMI System with the Sensus iPERL water meter.
During the City's AMI project, Aqua-Metric managed the network's integration and metering product installation. A second basestation was installed to achieve 100% coverage of Glendora's metering system. In January 2020, the City of Glendora Water was approved by Council to migrate for Sensus Logic MDM software to Sens us Enhanced Analytics with Customer Portal. Since completion, Aqua-Metric continues to provide the City with AMI System support.

Yucaipa Valley Water District currently services 13,000 customers in the City of Yucaipa and City of Calimesa, California. Yucaipa Valley has been a long time Sensus and Aqua-Metric customer with over a fifteen-year history.
The District initially utilized the Sensus/Precision multi-jet water meter, the PMM, and manually read these meters throughout their service area. As AMR and AMI systems gained popularity, the District began purchasing PMM meters with encoded registers to ease into transitioning to a meter reading system. Further, when Sensus released the iPERL smart water meter, the District recognized the advantages offered by this solution and transitioned to the iPERL meter.
Yucaipa Valley's service area grew exponentially towards 2016 with future projects increasing their number of services. Due to this growth, the District decided to look into implementing an AMI System. Ultimately, the District chose the Sensus FlexNet AMI System as their selected solution. Aqua-Metric continues to support Yucaipa Valley in the project's upgrade and provide metering product.
