Explanation

The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the Director of Public Utilities to purchase a subscription for the Division of Operational Support for IRTHNet Prevention Ticket Management Services. The service is designed to automate dig requests processing, this will allow the Department of Public Utilities to focus on protecting underground facilities. There is not software or maintenance associated with this service. The service is offered to subscribers via the internet. This will be a renewable yearly subscription. The annual cost is $27,000.00.

The Division of Operational Support, Damage Prevention Section requests to purchase a subscription with AGT International for the right to use IRTHNet service to manage the damage prevention ticket system in accordance with the Sole Source provisions of Columbus City Code Section 329.07 (c). The Damage Prevention Section of DOS locate underground utilities for the Department of Public Utilities and will be receiving these locate requests through the Ohio Utilities Protection Service. This creates the need for the IRTHNet ticket management system to help route these requests to the correct locator and geographical area. The software utilized with this service was developed by AGT International and is the only software of this type to be directly connected to Ohio Utilities Protection Services (OUPS) which the Department of Public Utilities is a member. AGT International will provide 24 x 7 monitoring security and access.

The service will allow the Damage Prevention section to automatically process map definitions through the internet and the IRTHNet software will compare dig site data. IRTHNet uses the same land base that the One Call Center uses for creating the dig request. IRTHNet provides total automation for Positive Response to the excavator and One Call Center. Furthermore, the Ohio Utilities Proctection Service (OUPS) uses IRTHNet for ticket creation.
