City Council Agenda Report
Meeting Date: October 7, 2025
From: Todd Dusenberry, General Manager of Public Utilities Department: Public Utilities
Submitted by: Adriana Ramos, Senior Management Analyst
Subject
Amendment No. 1 to Master Sales Agreement with Itron, Inc.
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Master Sales Agreement with Itron, Inc., in substantially the same form as submitted, to increase the total notto-exceed amount by an additional $6,422.
Background
On August 15, 2023, the City Council approved a Master Sales Agreement with Itron, Inc. (Itron) for hardware, software, and maintenance services for utility service meters in the amount of $148,767.97, for a three-year term. Vernon Public Utilities (VPU) collects its electric, water, and gas usage data from meter connections for billing purposes and to obtain pertinent operational consumption data.
On January 24, 2024, the Finance Department approved a Statement of Work related to the Master Sales Agreement with Itron, in the amount of $6,422, to procure a customized transfer file that was necessary for the City’s billing system. This customized transfer file allows VPU to effectively communicate time-of-use customer billing information with Itron’s MV90xi V8.0 version billing system.
The need for this additional customized transfer file was unforeseen and not included in the original Master Sales Agreement. As a result, there are insufficient funds available under the Master Sales Agreement to cover payment for hardware, software, and maintenance services for Fiscal Year 2025-26. Consequently, VPU is recommending approval of Amendment No. 1, which will increase the total amount of the Master Sales Agreement by an additional $6,422, bringing the total contract amount to $155,189.97. Pursuant to Vernon Municipal Code Section
3.32.030(A), City Council approval is required for the proposed amendment as the total value of the contract exceeds $100,000.
Amendment No. 1 has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.
Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact is not-to-exceed $6,422. Sufficient funds are available in the Electric Fund, Customer Service, Professional Services – IT, Account No. 055-050-575-529210 for the current fiscal year.
