Contract AwardInformation TechnologyDetected May 4, 2026

W. Webb and approved a new set of contracts for townwide water meter replacement and an Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI) system. The Commission awarded the base bid for new meters and AMI network to Stiles Company, Inc.08 in year ten. A separate installation contract was awarded to Hydro Utilities for up to 163325, with both implementation contracts funded using ARPA dollars and subject to final legal review. This package signals that the Town is moving into implementation of a modern metering and data system, with a defined technology vendor and installer but long‑term integration, analytics, and operational support needs still emerging.Vendors in metering analytics, customer portal software, leak detection, field services, and AMI optimization can use this as incumbent intelligence to time follow‑on offerings, interoperability tools, and value‑added services around the new Stiles AMI deployment and Hydro Utilities installation work.

Main award decisions are made; Stiles is the AMI and meter vendor, Hydro Utilities is the installer. Follow‑on needs may include software integration, network optimization, customer engagement tools, and long‑term maintenance support beyond the 10‑year term.
