27000705 RFI direct cellular Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) water meters, cellular communication endpoints, hosted meter management software, system integration, implementation services, training, and ongoing technical support

Description: The City of Midland has issued an open RFI seeking vendor information on direct cellular AMI water meters, cellular communication endpoints, hosted meter-management software, system integration, implementation, training, and ongoing technical support. The solution is intended to support a phased transition from the City's existing fixed-radio AMI system while remaining compatible with SmartWorks Compass/MeterSense, NorthStar, Neptune 360, and SilverBlaze. The effort begins with a pilot, with any broader deployment contingent on successful pilot acceptance and separate City authorization.
