Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify a professional services contract with Woolpert, Inc. to add additional funds to augment the original scope of services in the Asset Work Order System (AWOS) project.
Ordinance 2748-2023 authorized the Director of Public Service to enter into a professional services contract with Woolpert, Inc. in the amount of up to $549,590.00 for the AWOS project. The intent of this project is to provide the City of Columbus, Department of Public Service an improved Work Order and Asset Management System to provide the ability to view, manage assets, create work orders, monitor resources across the enterprise with the capability to “measure and manage” performance, identify needs, plan work, and report with the highest level of transparency available. The department is requesting additional functionality that was not included in the original scope of services. Including these additional functions now enhances software integrations and customizations allowing for more automation and increased efficiencies of AWOS. Section 2.1 of the underlying contract authorizes the City to expand the scope of services of the contract along with a right to cancel the contract at any time without a predetermined contract termination date.
This planned contract modification adds additional funds for software maintenance, and technical support and adds additional code modification enhancements related to the Asset Work Order System (AWOS) project.
