Backhaul communications description | 3rd Quarter 2014 –Still on hold waiting for poly-phase modules to be delivered. We have been told that we will get the poly-phase product in November 2014. 2nd Quarter 2014 –Still waiting on installing the new cross bands as we are in a holding pattern. Our old cross bands are still working and bringing back data which is being utilized. We are holding off because we are waiting on new poly-phase modules in our electric meters. When these modules are delivered to us we will schedule these cross bands to be changed out. The new electric poly-phase modules firmware revision require new cross bands for their data to be backhauled. 1rst Quarter 2014 –The 10 new cross band style collectors arrived and are waiting to be installed. The installation process will start in early April. | $10,009 |
Meter communications network | 3rd Quarter 2014 – While waiting for the poly-phase modules we audited all the meters to catch any potential issues during the change out process and deployed all the non-remote disconnect type modules we could. | |
Head end server | 2nd Quarter 2014 – Multiple Tantalus upgrades have taken place this past quarter for the multispeak outage issue and to allow for the reading of Itron ERT water, gas, and electric modules.

Meter data analysis system | ||
Other IT systems and applications | 3rd Quarter 2014 - No change. 2nd Quarter 2014 – Both tap changers are now on SCADA. 1rst Quarter 2014 – One of the two tap changers were placed on SCADA. Next quarter the other tap changer will be on SCADA. The voltage reduction program for CVR still needs to be finalized and implemented so CVR can be performed when it is economically beneficial to Fulton. The SCADA system and our MDM system has now developed a multispeak connection. This still needs to be fine tuned/tested and developed for use. |

Customers enrolled in web portal | 0 | 3rd Quarter 2014 –Troubleshooting of the webportal is still ongoing but training for City Staff has been set for October 20th and release for testing to City Staff and Council then as well. Issues with the billing system being slow due to multiple vendor data pulls has resulted in the creation of a shadow billing system which is updated nightly. This shadow billing system was created for the vendors to use while the live remains untouched and user friendly. The creation of this shadow billing system caused the MDM system to recreate all of its database connections with the billing system. 2nd Quarter 2014 –Troubleshooting of the webportal is on going but it is close to being solidified for release to the public. Data delivery to the portal from the AMI system is being fine tuned as well as the portals customer messaging system. The database setup and version also had to be adjusted to support customer service features. 1rst Quarter 2014 – Fulton installed all of the equipment (hardware and software) to meet the cyber security design determined last quarter for the Web-portal. The web portal is now up and running for internal testing. USSI Fulonized the web-portal and has implementation at Fulton. Fulton is presently testing the portal internally. |

* In some circumstances, costs are incurred before devices are installed resulting in a reported cost where the quantity is zero.
* All dollar figures are the total cost, which is the sum of the federal investment and cost share of the recipient (the recipient cost share must be at least 50% of the total overall project cost).
** In some cases the number of entities reporting is greater than the total number of projects funded by the Recovery Act because some projects have multiple sub-projects that report data. View list of sub-projects.
