CITY OF CORTEZ
123 ROGER SMITH AVENUE
CORTEZ, CO 81321
August 23, 2022
Agenda Item: 7.a.
MEMO TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Brian Peckins, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT:
Professional Services Contract with Independent Contractor Doug Roth for GIS Services
BACKGROUND
The City has been contracting with Doug Roth for Geographic Information System (GIS) services on a yearly basis since 2014, after our full-time GIS Coordinator resigned. Currently, Mr. Roth works at the Service Center on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, and also works full time in the GIS Department for Montezuma County. The County Administrator has been amenable to this schedule since its inception.
ISSUES
For the first time since 2017, Mr. Roth is proposing an increase in his hourly fees. According to the Professional Services Contract, a change in the payment must be authorized by Council. This increase is a bargain for the knowledge and services that are being provided, and only amounts to an additional $5000 for the entire year. Mr. Roth’s services include managing the computerized GIS for the City, processing development, inputting data, mapping projects, providing databases of inventories, reporting of Public Works functions, and updating the GIS database using surveying and Global Positioning System (GPS) technology.
Rather than bring this to Council every year, we would like to offer the contract for a three-year period, which is amenable to Mr. Roth.
Funds for the first year of the Contract are included in the Public Works Administration budget for contract services.
RECOMMENDATION
Council will make a motion to approve a 3-year Professional Services Contract with Doug Roth for GIS Services at an hourly rate of $50/hr.
