Explanation

This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to renew an agreement with Velotic Hold Co LP dba InnovatePro Management USA, LLC (fka GE Digital LLC / GE Vernova Electrification Software Holdings LLC) for the maintenance of software licenses and support.

Prior legislation (Ordinance 1906-2025) authorized the Director of the Department of Public Utilities to amend an existing contract (established under Ordinance 1120-2025) with GE Digital LLC for the maintenance of software licenses and support for the Division of Water Reclamation, in accordance with sole-source provisions of City Code. GE Digital LLC underwent a company reorganization and moved forward under a new name, GE Vernova Electrification Software Holdings LLC. As such, the supplier portions of the original legislation were amended to reflect this change. GE Vernova Electrification Software Holdings LLC (fka GE Digital LLC) was then sold on March 2nd, 2026 and is now under a new legal entity, Velotic Hold Co LP dba InnovatePro Management USA, LLC.

The Sewer Maintenance Operation Center (SMOC) and the Jackson Pike (JPWRP) and Southerly (SWRP) Water Reclamation Plants utilize this software to monitor their plant-wide control systems and operations. At SMOC, the software monitors remote pump and lift stations, as well as level sensors and flow meters throughout the City. There are two (2) products covered by the support agreement: iFix is the control software for supervisors and operators, which controls all plant processes and systems, and iHistorian, which records a historical database of approximately 64,000+ data points monitored daily at Division of Water Reclamation (DOWR) facilities. This agreement includes updates to each product to its most up-to-date version.

The license renewals and maintenance support agreement for the existing software and licenses will go into effect on the date of execution and expire on September 12, 2027.
