WSROC / Utilities Meter Inventory Audit - Q-2012-015

Auburn City Council is seeking technical assistance from a suitably qualified and experienced consultant to conduct an audit of Council’s energy and water meters. The project is to ensure that each meter is correctly identified and linked to a Council property, integrated into its billing and property databases and that Council is not paying for non-Council usage or being charged for a service that is no longer provided.

Following the completion of the meter audit, provide information to update Council‘s asset management system and establish a meter updating protocol to keep disposals and acquisitions up to date.

This project is funded through the Waste and Sustainability Improvement Payment (WaSIP) Program for 2011-2012 and is required to be reported back to the EPA NSW by the end of 2012.

Council has approximately:

80 – Electricity meters

95 – Water meters

3 – Gas meters

NSW Regions: Sydney

Request for Proposals - An invitation for expressions of interest / seeking preliminary proposals. In many cases these may be used as a basis for shortlisting tenderers, along with other criteria such as expertise and experience. Prospective tenderers are initially evaluated for their proposal against the relevant selection criteria. A number of those who best meet the criteria are invited to tender. For complex or some other types of procurement, where the product or service outcomes are highly dependent on the content of the proposals received from Tenderers, the outcome may be negotiated.
