Milestone Terms and Reauirements Milestone 1: Network Deployment . Milestone 1, Network Deployment, is considered achieved when the agreed number of TGB's (3) have been installed at the identified locations and are providing reading data messages back to the Regional Network Interface (RNI). Milestone 2: Meter and/or AMI Delivery and Installation . Meter and/or AMI system SmartPoint delivery and installation is considered achieved 30 to 45 days after the last meter to be automated has been instalted as required for the relevant Dhase of the Droiect. NOTE: The SmartPoint installation could have multiple phases. The Customer and Sensus Metering Systems will agree to the number of relevant phases at the start of the project. Milestone 2 will be considered achieved once the first SmartPoint installation phase is complete as specified above. Relevant Phase of the project is defined as 531 SmartPoint installations as outlined in the "Irriaation Route". Milestone 3: Customer Acceptance Plan (CAP) . The CAP is achieved when the system performance has reached a level of 98.5% or better successful reads in the defined acceptance period. . The System CAP is determined by dividing the number of installed SmartPoints that are registered on the network by those that have successfully provided a reading during a three (3) day reading window. . CAP should be completed on an individual route basis. . A complete route should be installed, optimized and then determined to meet the criteria identified as the acceptance criteria before proceeding to the next route installation. . The CAP reading window period is a mutually agreed upon period between the Customer and Sensus not to exceed ninety days (90) after Milestone 2 has been achieved. . The 98.5% CAP parameters will be confirmed as a result of the propagation study prepared for the customer. . Completed propagation studies that identify areas of non-coverage that would reduce the percentages below 98.5% will be communicated to the customer and new CAP percentages will be mutually agreed upon or additional infrastructure will be identified to achieve these numbers. . The successful read threshold is subject to the following exceptions for which any SmartPoints shall not be included in CAP calculations: o Daily reads lost during tower power failures> 24 hours o Force Majeure Events or Acts of God. o SmartPoints removed from service o Damaged, tampered, or failed SmartPoints o SmartPoints reported to the utility customer by Sensus indicating that radio contact has been lost or degraded within 3 days of the reading window.
