Milestone 1, Network Deployment, is considered achieved when the agreed number of TGB's (3) <br />have been installed at the identified locations and are providing reading data messages back to <br />the Regional Network Interface (RNI). <br /> <br />Milestone 2: Meter and/or AMI Delivery and Installation <br />. Meter and/or AMI system SmartPoint delivery and installation is considered achieved 30 to 45 <br />days after the last meter to be automated has been installed as required for the relevant phase of <br />the proiect. NOTE: The SmartPoint installation could have multiple phases. The Customer and. <br />Sensus Metering Systems will agree to the number of relevant phases at the start of the project. <br />Milestone 2 will be considered achieved once the first SmartPoint installation phase is complete <br />as specified above. Relevant Phase of the project is defined as 434 SmartPoint installations as <br />outlined in the "JrriQation Route", <br /> <br />Milestone 3: Customer Acceptance Plan (CAP) <br />. The CAP is achieved when the system performance has reached a level of 98.5% or better <br />successful reads in the defined acceptance period. <br /> <br />. The System CAP is determined by dividing the number of installed SmartPolnts that are <br />registered on the network by those that have successfully provided a reading during a three (3) <br />day reading window. <br /> <br />. CAP should be completed on an individual route basis. <br /> <br />. A complete route should be installed. optimized and then determined to meet the criteria <br />identified as the acceptance criteria before proceeding to the next route installation. <br /> <br />. The CAP reading window period is a mutually agreed upon period between the Customer and <br />Sensus not to exceed ninety days (90) after Milestone 2 has been achieved. <br /> <br />. The 98.5% CAP parameters will be confirmed as a result of the propagation study prepared for <br />the customer. <br /> <br />. Completed propagation studies that identify areas of non-coverage that would reduce the <br />percentages below 98.5% will be communicated to the customer and new CAP percentages will <br />be mutually agreed upon or additional infrastructure will be identified to achieve these numbers. <br /> <br />. The successful read threshold is subject to the following exceptions for which any SmartPoints <br />shall not be included in CAP calculations: <br /> <br />o Daily reads lost during tower power failures> 24 hours <br />o Force Majeure Events or Acts of God. <br />o SmartPoints removed from service <br />o Damaged, tampered, or failed SmartPoints <br />o SmartPoints reported to the utility customer by Sensus indicating that radio contact has <br />been lost or degraded within 3 days of the reading window. <br /> <br />23 <br />
