Project General Requirements:. General Requirements
1) The Network Software will provide functions and reports required to effectively manage the AMI system including monitoring the health of the network. Diagnostic and network status reports are provided. Standard reports and sample screen shots are included in the system overview provided.
2) For the period from the effective date of the AMI System Agreement until two years after the date of final system acceptance, Itron will provide the City with complementary registrations for any User Group Conferences or similar training activities designed to increase the training and proficiency in the use of Itron’s AMI system equipment and software. The City will be responsible for all other costs of attendance. Itron must give notice to the City within sixty (60) days prior to such conferences. Notice is given far in advance of the conference. Complementary Conference registration is available for up to 5 attendees at no charge, additional attendees would be required to pay a registration fee.
1) A baseline technical architecture document (TAD) is to be constructed during the mobilization phase and updated as needed throughout the project.
2) The City requires an interface between Itron’s MDM and the City’s (CIS) to enable transfer of meter readings, synchronization of databases, customer service functions, measures to protect data security, etc., and interfaces with the City’s geographic information system (GIS) and hydraulic model. The City will provide the record layout for its CIS, CMMS, GIS, SCADA, and hydraulic model, and expects NMAAI/Itron to tailor interfaces from its AMI system software to these other systems. The City IT staff will work closely with the AMI Provider to ensure that this is accomplished efficiently. However, Itron/NMAAI is solely responsible for ensuring that data from its system is being transferred properly to the City’s CIS, CMMS, GIS, SCADA, and hydraulic model databases.
3) NMAAI will provide the MDI Adapter for interface to Billing system. During the workshops additional information will be defined to fully scope the required interfaces between all systems mentioned. These requirements will be documented in the TAD
4) The System will be designed to perform at a minimum:
Project General Requirements:. (A) all EVSEs intended to support inter-city travel are located adjacent to, or within approximately one kilometre from heavily travelled highway interchanges/intersections or within 10 kilometres of a provincial/state border, or both. In addition, the Partner will not change any EVSE location at any Site or from one Site to another without the prior written approval of KSI;
(B) all EVSE intended to support in-city travel are located close to major trip attractors such as retail, hospitality and recreation locations, workplaces, condominiums, and multi-unit dwellings;
(C) all EVSE are publicly accessible and available for use year-round during the Operation Period;
(D) for inter-city EVSEs, a 24-hour toll-free customer assistance number will be provided by KSI at each EVSE so that electric vehicle drivers can call to report equipment outages, malfunctions or other damage, and to obtain assistance with point-of-sale and customer authentication systems, or to request assistance operating the EVSE;
(E) each EVSE provides a safe connection between the source of electricity and the vehicle and communicates with the vehicle's control system to ensure electricity flows at the proper voltage and current;
(F) each EVSE Site Host Location is highly visible and easily accessible;
(G) if an EVSE needs to be relocated during the Operation Period, the Partner will give KSI 90 days prior written Notice and obtain KSI's prior written approval for any such relocation. The Partner shall bear all expense related to any EVSE relocation during the Operation Period. The Partner shall retain the services of KSI with respect to any EVSE relocation; and
