Body
SUMMARY:
Vendor selection is in accordance with Sec. 2.564(1) (b), Code of Ordinances - Sole Source.
GeoNexus provides field mobility software solutions for integration of the City’s GIS (geographic information systems) and Asset Management software systems. The City’s use of GIS and Asset Management software by field operations across multiple departments has increased significantly over the past six years. This software solution simplifies and streamlines the field experience by providing a single application from which field personnel can access and reference data from multiple existing systems.
City infrastructure maintenance operations (including Gas, Water, Reclaimed Water, Urban Forestry, Stormwater and Water Pollution Control) perform thousands of tasks, both service order requests and maintenance work orders, over the course of a year. Improved efficiency of data access and data entry from the field will improve the quality of decisions and data entry, and subsequently increase efficiency and productivity.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Funds are budgeted and available in the Information Technology Admin Services budget for the current support year (June 2018-June 2019). Funds for the out years, 2019-2020 and 2020-2021, will also be included and charged back to user department in the respective Information Technology Admin Services budgets.
