APPENDIX 1: Statement of Work Overview The outcome of this project would be to provide MCLB Barstow the capability to use Field Collection System to collect monthly meter reads from water, gas, and electric meters. This would be accomplished by setting up Field Collection System (FCS) meter reading system on a laptop in the Base Public Works Department. FCS would be configured for meter reading using handheld data collectors. Project Details This project would be split into two parts to maximize the time spent on-site with training the Base staff to operate and maintain the meter reading system. Remote activities would be around installation and configuration of FCS. The following tasks summarize the activities: Conduct kickoff meeting to review project tasks Review FCS system architecture Install FCS meter reading software on laptop being supplied as part of this project Install PC-PRO+Advanced software on laptop being supplied as part of this project Configure FCS to match MV-RS settings Configure FCS with Itron Mobile parameters to use CN-80 handheld Add users and handhelds to FCS Perform basic functional testing to validate the system is working in preparation for utility to test various use cases in field Convert the existing MVRS route file to FCS-compatible format. Validate the file works with FCS On-site activities would involve testing of FCS system and training of Base staff for collecting monthly meter readings. Overview of tasks is: Perform functional testing of use cases Provide training on Itron Mobile meter reading app Provide training on Field Tools on CN-80 handheld with Itron Mobile Radio 2 for programming and troubleshooting 60W/100W water endpoints along with 40G/100G gas endpoints Provide training on PC-PRO+Advanced software which is used to maintain, configure, and troubleshoot Itron electric meters Go through end-to-end meter reading process with Base staff It is estimated the on-site portion of the project would be three days in duration.
