Has There Been Previous Council Decision on This: |
No. |
Options and Alternatives: |
- Approve the Enterprise License Agreement with Azteca Systems, LLC in the amount of $147,836.25, plus additional fees, for the Cityworks Software for a three-year period; or
- Do not approve the long-term Enterprise License Agreement and continue to pay for the Cityworks Software al-a-carte. Staff does not recommend this option. This piecemeal approach will hinder the ability of Water Services staff to to digitally track asset inspections and maintenance records of the City's water infrastructure.
|
Background/History: |
Since implementing the Cityworks Software in various sections in Water Services, staff can now easily send digital work orders, inspections, and service requests to the field crews for completion. Water Distributions, Wastewater Collections, and Stormwater Maintenance crews rely on the Cityworks Software to record and track work orders and inspections for various assets. Acting as a digital repository, the Cityworks Software allows crews to record the type of work performed, time spent, materials/equipment used, and more. Since using Cityworks Software to track and create a preventative maintenance cleaning schedule, sanitary sewer overflows have decreased within the City. Likewise, Water Services now has a better understanding on the time and expenses it takes to clean and maintain open and closed channel stormwater infrastructure. By entering the new long-term License with Azteca Systems, LLC, Water Services will continue to expand these efficiencies within various Sections. |
Key Considerations: |
Approving the License with Azteca Solutions, LLC, aligns with Water Service's 2025 Strategic Goals of:
- Use Standards and Data to Drive Decision Making
- Upgrade Stormwater System and Increase Maintenance
- Accelerate Infrastructure Maintenance and Replacement
- Improve Compliance with Environmental Standards and Protections
- Enhance Communications and Customer Service
