summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
The Utilities Department requests City Commission approval to execute a piggyback agreement with National Metering Services (NMS), Inc., through the City of Zephyrhills’ General Construction Services RFP 2025 - 004 and the resulting General Construction Continuing Services Agreement No. 41-25-15, to provide supplemental water meter and backflow replacement services.
The City purchased approximately 19,350 replacement water meters and backflow devices through the Series 2024 Water and Wastewater Bond Program to improve system reliability and meter accuracy. NMS previously assisted with the meter replacement program and developed a specialized metering interface system to ensure seamless integration with the City’s billing and customer service systems.
Since the expiration of the prior NMS agreement under Resolution 2025-85, Utilities staff have continued meter replacements in-house. To date, approximately 5,975 meters have been completed, with 13,375 meters remaining. The proposed agreement will provide supplemental contractor support for an additional 5,000 to 7,500 meters and backflow replacements on an as-needed basis, helping reduce the backlog, improve replacement timelines, and maintain operational efficiency while allowing City staff to focus on daily operations.
Estimated funding in the amount of $933,437 is available through the approved project budget. Approval supports the City’s strategic goal of maintaining and enhancing critical utility infrastructure.
Origin of request for this action: Utilities
Fiscal impact and source of funding: Funding in the amount of $933,437 is available in account 420-7765-533.65-11
