With the Magnetic meter the present pit can be utilized. The amount of piping required will be minimal and will consist of reducing the 6" force main to a 3" 20' a- head and beyond the pit. It is suggested that a by- pass be provided so service can continue if the meter needs to be pulled. The price of the equipment has been quoted at less than $6,000.00 complete. Installation should be about $1,500.00 or $7,500.00 total. The manufacturer representative has agreed on an annual service contract of'$1,500.00 to service and calibrate the meter four (4) times annually. Lloyd & Associates, Inc. will provide the specifications, drawings, en- gineering, installation supervision and start up on an hourly basis with a not to exceed $2,000.00. Your early response concerning the above will be appreciated, and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Sincer , e t' Lloy , .E. President Director Pinto stressed the importance of having an accurate meter, particularly now that we have the Ixora and Treasure Coast sewerage running into the City plant. He assured the Board that the proposed meter will handle the maximum capacity of the Sixth Avenue line. Commissioner Bird asked if staff felt the engineering fees were reasonable, and Director Pinto stated that one of the problems is that while this is a small project, it has taken considerable time. Staff requested that this be thoroughly checked out because we did not want just to accept the word of the vendor. He noted that the meter has a year's warranty and a service contract as well as guaranties and further pointed out that it is desirable to have the same type of meter the City presently uses because of the servicing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously approved the proposal of Lloyd & Assoc. for metering wastewater going into the City of Vero Beach Treatment Plant per their letter dated February 22, 1985. 17 MAR 2 0 1995 600 ® Fa,ctq� I
