Water Meter Replacement Strategy Service

The buyer requires professional consulting services to develop a long-term water meter replacement and modernization strategy. The requested scope includes identifying opportunities to improve data collection, leak detection, customer service, and billing efficiency, while comparing lifecycle costs, benefits, risks, and service implications of current versus recommended approaches. The strategy must support future meter replacement programs, monthly billing, customer portal opportunities, future billing software upgrades, and compatibility with multiple meter brands, radio, mobile-read, and Advanced Metering Infrastructure technologies. Only onshore Canadian organizations are eligible to bid, and vendors must perform the work offsite. Interested bidders must pay and register on the tendering authority's website to obtain the unmarked Request for Proposals document. Bidders must submit all questions no later than October 27, 2026. The buyer seeks proposals to establish the budget, but the provided text omits submission methods, submission deadlines, evaluation criteria, and the contract term.
