Several objectives of the Phase I deployment include: 1. To establish a means for the City to work closely with the selected Supplier and for the Supplier to provide equipment installation training, including development of standardized written installation procedures to be used by Supplier and the City to perform Phase II (Full Meter Exchange and FSAT). 2. To allow the City’s AMI administrators to test the AMI diagnostic tools and some of the use cases that do not require integrations to other systems. 3. To allow the CIS, OMS, MDMS, Smart Hub, etc., and other integrations to be completed. 4. To allow the City to establish the deployment-related business processes early in the Phase I deployment window. 5. To allow AMI deployment to begin in an area that does not require significant backbone/backhaul to be in place. 6. To complete a formal coverage test early in the deployment timeframe within a small area to allow the project team to understand the coverage commitments and how the ongoing coverage modeling is conducted. 7. To complete formal Initial System Acceptance Testing (ISAT) prior to starting Phase II deployment. Phase I shall include, but not be limited to: a. Project design meeting; receipt of standard System documentation and training manuals covering the scope of this Agreement; review and approval of the City’s coverage area and design drawings for the initial deployment area; receipt of proof of insurance. b. Configuration of Master System server and hardware components and delivery of configured software and hardware to the City; training on use of the AMI Master software system. c. Delivery of Phase I base stations, collectors, repeaters, gateways, electric meters/modules and endpoints as determined prior to Agreement execution. d.
