Explanation

This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a contract with GeoNexus Technologies, LLC for software and installation services related to the integration of the Department of Public Utilities Geographic Information System (GIS) Dashboard and Oracle Work and Asset Management (WAM) software.

Both existing software programs are integral to the daily operations of the Department of Public Utilities and the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. The GIS Dashboard provides spatial location information for DPU distribution assets. The Oracle WAM software provides work order management of those same distribution assets. Integration of these software programs with a commercial off-the-shelf software product will allow users to create, search, and modify work orders using web-based maps for more precise location information, thereby improving operational efficiency.

The Department of Public Utilities advertised Request for Proposals (RFPs) for the subject services in the City Bulletin in accordance with the provisions of Columbus City Code, Section 329.14 (SA004353). Four hundred one (401) vendors were solicited on April 21, 2012. Twenty six (26) minority and nine (9) female owned were solicited. One proposal (1 MAJ) was received on May 18, 2012. The proposal was reviewed based on quality and feasibility. GeoNexus Technologies, LLC was determined to be qualified to provide the software and services for the GIS and WAM Integration Project, for which the Director of Public Utilities concurred. The recommended award amount for this one (1) year contract is $93,140.00.
