TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works/Utilities General Manager DATE: January 28, 2025 SUBJECT: Res 25-32 Approve Purchase of AVEVA Software Licenses from GP Systems, Inc. for Contract 24-17 Water Filtration Plant Ozone Equipment Installation ($78,390)

BACKGROUND

On January 10, 2025, the Department of Public Works requested a quote for AVEVA Software Licenses for the Water Filtration Plant (WFP) ozone equipment installation from GP Systems, Inc. (GP Systems).  The WFP currently has old versions of software owned by AVEVA.  The existing software and licensing are not compatible with the new ozone equipment and computer systems.  Updating to the current version is necessary to maintain the existing controls and allow for the new ozone equipment to be brought online.

ANALYSIS

GP Systems has provided a quote for the software licenses.  The new licenses will update the WFP to current software versions and provides one (1) year of support.

FISCAL IMPACT

The total fiscal impact of the software licenses purchase will be $78,390.  This purchase will be funded from Account #03221810-7204-65006/Water Capital Fund-Machinery & Equipment-WFP – Ozone Residual Mntr Replcmnt.

RECOMMENDATION

Section 12-11 of the Municipal Code (Code) provides that, subject to approval of the City Manager, purchases may be made without following a formal competitive bidding process when the purchase is from only one (1) source of supply or when standardization or compatibility is the overriding consideration.  In accordance with Section 12-11 of the Code and with the approval by the Interim City Manager, I am hereby recommending approval of this purchase.
