SUBJECT
Title
Authorize a three-year service price agreement for maintenance and support of an existing software application for the hydrology and hydraulics drainage systems for the Water Utilities Department - Innovyze, Inc., sole source - Estimated amount of $265,314.97 - Financing: Stormwater Drainage Management Fund
Body
BACKGROUND
This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a service price agreement is to establish firm pricing for services, for a specific term, which are ordered on an as needed basis according to annual budgetary appropriations. The estimated amount is intended as guidance rather than a cap on spending under the agreement, so that actual need combined with the amount budgeted will determine the amount spent under this agreement.
This service price agreement will provide for model flooding areas within the City and in the floodplain areas and to equitably prioritize capital improvement projects. With this software, DWU will be able to analyze and evaluate flood related issues throughout various areas of the City as well as the conveyance capacity of storm sewer systems. With the continued expansion and added complexity of development, it would be advantageous to invest in these software's to productively handle City operations.
