Description
The City of Lodi, California is preparing to modernize its electric utility metering system by transitioning from an ITRON ChoiceConnect Fixed Network and AMR meters to an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) 2.0 solution. The municipality will issue a formal Request for Information (RFI) in January 2027 to collect market insights on hardware, software, data analytics, and customer‑service capabilities that can support this upgrade. Interested vendors must email the city’s procurement mailbox by 30 Nov 2026 to be added to the interested‑parties list; the RFI will later be posted on the city’s bid portal. This RFI is purely informational and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment to purchase.

• Target audience: Qualified meter manufacturers, communication network providers, software analytics firms, and integrated solution integrators.
• Timeline: Expression of interest due 30 Nov 2026; RFI posting expected Jan 2027; no defined submission deadline yet.
• No budget or contract value disclosed at this stage.
