Greater Vernon Water (Gvw) Is A Function Of The Regional District Of North Okanagan (Rdno) And Is A Water Utility Serving Vernon, Coldstream, Parts Of Electoral Areas “B”, “C”, “D” And Some Parts Of Spallumcheen.Within The City Of Vernon, Meters Listed As Installed In 2003, The Year Gvw Was Formed, Are Due For Replacement. Most Of These Meters Were Installed In The 1980’S And Early 1990’S. Old Meters Typically Read Low Due To Wear And Tear And, Therefore, Do Not Provide An Accurate Reflection Of Usage. Replacing These Meters Will Enable Gvw To Detect Small Leaks, Which Will Assist In Overall Water Reduction.The Rdno May Add Additional Services To The Project Scope As It Deems Necessary To Fulfill The Service Needs Of The Greater Vernon Area.The Contractor Will Be Responsible For Providing Scheduling Services, Supplying Water Meters And Associated Fittings Directly For Meter Replacement, Performing Meter Installations, Ensuring Connectivity To Existing Itron Ert Devices And Transferring Meter Data To Gvw.A Refined Inventory, Estimated To Be Between 3,200 And 4,000 Meters, Will Be Confirmed And Provided To The Successful Contractor At Project Startup. Proponents Should Base Their Pricing On 3,500 Meters, Recognizing That The Final Quantity Will Vary. Gvw Does Not Guarantee A Minimum Number Of Meter Replacements.
