HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
In June 2007, City Council awarded a contract to Sensus Metering System for the implementation of an AMR System for Pensacola Energy (PE). Sensus was responsible for designing the system, including negotiating the towers where the transmission equipment would be installed; that project was completed in February 2012. Since that time, customer growth has expanded into areas without adequate coverage from existing towers. PE needs to expand the tower coverage for the AMR System to capture customer meter data. Omnicom Consulting Group, Inc. assisted PE in negotiating the site licensing agreement, which is for a term of five years beginning on the commencement date with four options to renew for five years each. Renewals are automatic unless canceled by the City.
