SIGNATURE ON THE CORRESPONDING PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, Kittitas County Public Health (KCPHD) published a Request for Proposals (RFP) for
Waters Meters, Meter Reading Equipment and Software to facilitate the County’s meter
reading and enforcement activities through the Kittitas County Water Metering Program
and the state mandated Pilot Program in the Daily Journal of Commerce on April 27, 2018
and May 4, 2018 after receiving the Kittitas County Board of Commissioners’ (BOCC)
approval on April 17, 2018; and
WHEREAS, KCPHD received four (4) proposals. Three (3) were deemed responsive. KCPHD staff
and the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) staff scheduled and attended
metering presentations for those three (3) responders; Metron Farnier, Master Meter, and
Badger Meter Company, to understand what types of meters, meter readers, equipment,
software were available and how they would accommodate the expanding program; and
WHEREAS, it was determined that none of the software systems from the three companies could
“provide the customized data reporting that the county needs to manage a large scale
metering program.”
WHEREAS, per vendor suggestions, the County worked with the Information Technology Department
to identify the ability to customize data; and
WHEREAS, Badger Meter Company took the initiative to develop an Application Programming
Interface (API) solution with County data and produced a report that will meet the
County’s current needs for reporting;
WHEREAS, Badger Meter Company is the current vendor for the Kittitas County Metering Program
and their reporting solution eliminated the need to retrofit the existing installed; and
WHEREAS, KCPHD hereby recommends the Badger Meter Company because they are the only
company that was able to meet the advanced technology needs for the water metering
program; and
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of County Commissioners of Kittitas County,
Washington, in the best interest of the public, hereby awards the bid for Waters Meters,
Meter Reading Equipment and Software to Badger Meter Company.
