Explanation
BACKGROUND: This Ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify and increase an engineering services agreement with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. for the Division of Power. The original authorizing ordinance #1474-2009 provided for professional engineering services for Phase I of the Geographical Information System (GIS) Conversion Services Project which consisted of data source preparation and documentation, project management and production methodology, proof of concepts of one (1) complete distribution circuit, verification of existing Power GIS data within the Downtown area and two (2) ArcFM software licenses.
Phase II authorized the expenditure for engineering services to complete the downtown underground power distribution system and to start the overhead distribution system. Phase II also included two (2) additional sets of software and training for the software purchased for this project. Phase III completed the distribution power system to include overhead and underground distribution power lines. Phase IV completed the secondary power system to include overhead and underground secondary power lines and meters to the City of Columbus power customers.
GIS Conversion Phases have been completed, and the City is now positioned to move forward with the implementation of the Responder Outage Management System (OMS) as proposed in the original RFP. The Responder OMS leverages the previously converted GIS power data to allow for the efficient tracking and conflict resolution related to outages within the Power distribution system.
