In describing Water and Sewer Fund activities, the City Manager notes that the divisions are addressing critical issues including a fire hydrant replacement project and an AMI meter replacement project, along with purchasing new safety equipment and a sewer vacuum truck, and starting a valve exercise program. The AMI meter replacement project suggests Randleman is upgrading or changing out its advanced metering infrastructure, though the minutes do not specify the vendor. Since the project is referenced as ongoing rather than planned, the core AMI vendor selection may already be made.However, AMI deployments typically generate follow-on needs for integration, analytics, customer portal enhancements, field services, and maintenance. Vendors offering AMI integration, data analytics, customer engagement tools, and field support can position themselves to complement the primary vendor or to support future phases such as meter expansion, leak detection, and pressure monitoring.

Project is grouped with hydrant replacement, sewer vacuum truck acquisition, and valve exercise program as part of system modernization.
