City of Corpus Christi - AMR Year 1 Expansion Proposal Amendment
1.0 Introduction
1. 1 Purpose
This document is being submitted as a proposal amendment to expand the existing
contract of RAM Technologies, Inc. for additional consulting services and hours. These
services and hours are in addition to the previous proposal for Management and Technical
Services accepted by the City of Corpus Christi in July 2005.
fhe original proposal was submitted with the understanding that a Site Survey would be
performed in the field for all areas of the City to be converted to AMR. The City of Corpus
Christi subsequently decided not to perform a site survey and has initiated the Year 1
Expansion phase of the AMR build out
RAM Technologies recommended that the City of Corpus Christi should conduct a Site
Survey in the upcoming AMR expansion areas as was done prior to implementing the
AMR pilot A survey provides many advantages to the project - most notably a survey
confirms meter Inventory requirements for the project as well as identifying any
infrastructure work needed in the field. As a result of not performing the survey RAM has
expended significant project hours assembling and maintaining meter inventories - as
opposed to determining the actual quantities, sizes and types via a survey in the field.
In addition, RAM has also applied a substantial quantity of hours working with the City to
coordinate and confirm project budgets and CIP allocations for the current and remaining
project expansion years
We appreciate the opportunity to provide you with this proposal, and look forward to
working with the City of Corpus Christi on this important project.
If further clarification of the information contained in this document is needed, please do
not hesitate to contact us.
