h. A low battery remote alarm indicator shall be included to facilitate timely replacement of batteries. IPS complies. Once battery levels reach a certain threshold, an alert will be generated in the DMS to notify the City, facilitating timely battery replacement. i. If a meter loses power (solar and/or battery), or the battery becomes depleted or disconnected, the meter shall be able to retain all stored programming, operational, and financial audit data for a minimum period of one year. IPS complies. IPS meters use non-volatile flash memory for the secure storage of all meter event and transaction information as permitted by PA-DSS and PCI-DSS requirements. This information can be stored indefinitely. j. Proposal Deliverables — Power is The Proposer shall describe the minimum life expectancy for both rechargeable and non- rechargeable batteries assuming the following operation parameters: • Operating hours are Monday-Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. • Meters shall transmit payment status for all types of payment (e.g., coins, credit card) to the CMS within 90 seconds after determining the transaction to be completed. • Meter receives, on average, 3 hours of direct sunlight each day. • Meter conducts, on average, 6 transactions per day. • Meter backlight is activated by any button push or by initiating the payment (e.g., coin drop, credit card or smart card insertion). • NFC payment mode is activated by any button push. • Meter modem needs to be on continuously during operating hours to listen for PBP payment information. • Pre-payment for all the meters begins at 4:30 AM seven days a week, including enforced holidays. Battery Options — MS The battery pack consists of two parts — a rechargeable part and a non-rechargeable part. Both items are being offered as separate parts for ease of replacement. The rechargeable part serves as temporary buffer (a few days or weeks, depending on features enabled on the meter) to store surplus solar energy, whereas the non- rechargeable pack covers the meter's energy requirements when the solar charging system is not able to satisfy part or all of the meter's energy requirement for some extended time and the rechargeable battery becomes depleted. The non-rechargeable part is only used when solar AND the rechargeable part is depleted — so meters that don't receive enough direct sunlight for a while (under an overpass, below a leafy tree) will tap into the non- rechargeable part. The M5 meter has been engineered to be more energy efficient that its predecessors or any other single-space parking meter ever developed — while at the same time further optimizing solar charging. We strongly recommend the rechargeable portion to be the OEM part IPS supplies — as it's a high quality — high performance and long life rechargeable battery which should last for many years. The rechargeable battery comes in two flavors on the M5, directly attached to the main board or available as a plug in and field replaceable option. a. Rechargeable Battery — attached to board Advantage: soldered to board — secure connections, and exception life and performance characteristics. Disadvantage: Not easily replaced. Price: Included in the price of the meter and warranted for as long as the meter is warranted. Useful life expectancy: 7-10 years. This does not mean that it will retain the full charge for 7-10 years, but means that the rechargeable battery will continue to efficiently charge, store and supply energy for 7- REV: 05-05-16 JS Page 112 of 177 ATTY/AGR.2016.094/1PS Group
