The document contains information about a bid for meter reading services by the City of Lewisville, Texas. The document includes guidelines and requirements for bidders, such as the need for compliance with specifications, the prohibition of city employees with financial interests from participating in bids, and the rejection of items that do not meet specifications. It also mentions the requirement for eligible bidders to be engaged in a full-time business and assume liabilities for performance or warranty service. The document further states that the City of Lewisville will not accept contracts that require the city to indemnify the vendor.
Additionally, the document includes a section about the State Reciprocal Requirement, which states that the city cannot award contracts to non-resident bidders unless their bid is lower than the lowest bid from a responsible Texas resident bidder by the same amount that a Texas resident bidder would have to underbid a non-resident bidder in the state where the non-resident's principal place of business is located. The document provides questions for bidders to answer regarding their principal place of business and whether their state favors resident bidders.
The document also includes a non-collusion statement, where the bidder affirms that they have not colluded with any other bidder in preparing the bid.
The main focus of the document is on the specifications for the meter reading services. It outlines the scope of work, which includes accurately reading approximately 16,931 meters per month and providing verification reads on approximately 5,000 AMR meters annually. The contractor is also responsible for maintaining route maps and performing routine service work. The document specifies the volume of meter reads, the normal hours of work, and the quality of work expected, with a penalty for reading errors exceeding a certain rate. The contractor is also responsible for providing re-reads on suspected bad reads and other specific cases. The completion of work and the return of equipment to the city are also mentioned. Additionally, the document now includes information about situations where the meter cannot be read by the contractor and meter conditions that impose hazards to readers.
