SUBJECT: AGREEMENT WITH TRUEBILL SOLUTIONS LLC FOR ANNUAL HOSTING
AND SUPPORT SERVICES FOR UTILITY BILLING SOFTWARE, IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $362,974
CEQA: Not a Project
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
The Public Works Services Department (“PWSD”) is responsible for the billing, invoicing, and collection of approximately 15,000 water and sewer accounts, as well as 4,700 backflow records, as required by the State of California. To support these operations, the PWSD utilizes a proprietary utility billing software system, developed, hosted, and supported exclusively by TrueBill Solutions LLC, formerly known as TruePoint Solutions. The Subscription License and Services Agreement (“Agreement”) between the City and TrueBill Solutions LLC expired June 30, 2026.
Based on the quality of service provided and the City’s ongoing operational needs, it is recommended that the City Council authorize a five -year Purchase Order with TrueBill Solutions LLC for annual hosting and support services for the utility billing software, in an amount not to exceed $362,974, with the option to exercise two additional two -year exten sions. It is further recommend ed that the City Council authorize the City Manager to approve the optional extensions of the Agreement without further City Council approval, provided that any adjustments to the financial terms remain within established inflationary limits.
Agreement for Utility Billing Software Service and Support October 20, 2026
BACKGROUND
The PWSD serves approximately 15,000 water and sewer connections, a majority of which are based on a tiered rate structure that are billed monthly, generating approximately $15.5 million in annual revenue. On December 1, 2020, the City Council approved, authorized, and directed the City Manager to execute a Software Service Agreement with TruePoint Solutions , now known as TrueBill Solutions LLC, for implementation of the TrueBill Utility Billing Software System. The TrueBill Utility Billing Software System replaced DataNow, the City’s antiquated utility billing and customer information system. The purchase and implementation of the TrueBill utility software was the first phase of a two -phase update, intended to modernize the City’s utility billing function.
In late 2021, the PWSD enacted the second phase of the software update and executed a Change Order to the original Purchase Order with TruePoint Solutions (now TrueBill Solutions LLC ), for the purchase and implementation of TrueBill’s backflow testing module and Vendor Contractor Portal (“TrueVCP ”). These two modules allow contractors to directly upload backflow testing information. The new backflow testing module integrated the City’s former testing database into the TrueBill Utility Billing System, expanding the functionality of TrueBill and effectively integrating two historically separate programs.
The subscription fees to host both the software and provide ongoing support services were included in the Agreement, to be renewed on an annual basis. The term of the Subscription License and Agreement expired on June 30, 2026.
DISCUSSION
The Agreement with TruePoint Solutions, now known as TrueBill Solution LLC, awarded by the City Council on December 1, 2020, was for a five- year term and included a 3% annual pric e increase for Years 4 and 5. While industry -standard increases for licensing agreements have since exceeded 10%, in addition to cumulative increases implemented in prior years, the PWSD successfully negotiated a new five- year term Agreement with TrueBill S olutions LLC that limits the pricing increase to 8% each year. This agreement provides greater cost predictability , with the following cost breakdown per year:
Agreement for Utility Billing Software Service and Support October 20, 2026
Term Year Total Cost
Year One $61,871
Year Two $66,821
Year Three $72,167
Year Four $77,940
Year Five $84,175
Five-Year Total $362,974
The annual hosting services and support fees pay for ongoing product development, cloud-based hosting of the utility billing software, as well as licensing and technical support services. These support services include access to the support hotline, installation of updates when available, and database backups. Based on the excellent service provided by TrueBill Solutions LLC, it is recommended that the City Council approve a five- year Agreement for annual hosting and support services, with the option of up to two additional two-year extensions.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as it can be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funds for the annual software hosting and support fees are budgeted in the City’s Water and Sewer Operating Budget annually.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council determine that this action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and approve a five- year Agreement with TrueBill Solutions LLC for annual hosting and support services for the utility billing software in an amount not to exceed $362,974, with the option of two two-year extensions. It is further recommended that the C ity Council delegate the authority to approve any future optional extensions under this Agreement to the City Manager, without having to return to the City Council for Agreement for Utility Billing Software Service and Support October 20, 2026
subsequent approval, provided that any changes to the financial terms stay within standard inflationary limits.

d City’s failure to discover or object to unsatisfactory work or billing before payment is not a waiver. City may withhold amounts disputed in good faith upon written notice delivered within thirty (30) days of the invoice date specifying the basis of the dispute, while paying all undisputed amounts. Undisputed amounts not paid within thirty (30) days after the due date shall bear interest at the lesser of one percent (1%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by law.
Provider shall not suspend Support, Hosted Services, access to City Data, or critical functionality because of a good-faith billing dispute properly noticed under this subsection, and may suspend for an undisputed delinquency only after at least thirty (30) days’ written notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure.

16. Acceptance Testing; Final Acceptance. City acknowledges that the Hosted Services identified in Exhibit “A” are in production use by City as of the Effective Date and are accepted as of the Effective Date. This Section applies only to new modules, interfaces, or other deliverables first made available to City under an Order after the Effective Date. Before testing begins, the Parties shall approve a written test plan containing objective, mutually agreed pass/fail criteria.
City will have thirty (30) business days after delivery of each complete deliverable to test it and to deliver written notice of any material nonconformity, specifying the failed criteria in reasonable detail. A deliverable is deemed accepted upon the earli er of (i) City’s written acceptance, or (ii) City’s failure to deliver a written notice of material nonconformity within the testing period, or (iii) City’s use of the deliverable in production.. If City timely rejects a deliverable for material nonconformity, Provider shall correct it at no charge and resubmit it for a testing period of equal length limited to the previously failed criteria . Acceptance does not waive Provider’s express warranties in Section 15.

long as the assignee assumes Provider’s obligations under this Agreement. A change in the direct or indirect ownership or control of Provider shall not constitute an assignment requiring City’s consent and shall not give rise to any right of termination.

Provider represents and warrants that it is the sole owner of the Software or, if not the owner, that it has received all legally required authorizations from the owner to provide the Software as contemplated herein, has the full power to grant the rights required by this Agreement, and that neither the Software, nor its use in accordance with the Contract Documents, will violate or infringe upon any patent, copyright, trade secret, or other intellectual property right of another person or of City. The rights of access and use granted to City under this Agreement are nonexclusive, nontransferable (except as permitted in Section 17), non-sublicensable, revocable in accordance with this Agreement, and limited to City’s internal operations. All rights not expressly granted to City are reserved by Provider and its licensors.

without City’s consent. Ownership of City Data is governed by Exhibit “A” and is not affected by this Section.
21. Infringement Remedies. If it is claimed that the Software or Hosted Services furnished by Provider infringes any third-party patent, copyright, trade secret, or other intellectual property right, Provider agrees to defend or settle any such claim or suit at Provider’s expense and to indemnify and hold the City harmless from any losses, damages, or harm, including reasonable attorney’s fees and legal expenses, incurred as a result of such claim. Without the City’s prior written approval, Provider shall not accept any li ability on the City’s behalf for the infringement, nor shall Provider reach a settlement that from the City perspective impairs the value or usefulness of the work that is the subject of the infringement claim. Provider will also pay all damages and costs that by final judgment or settlement are assessed against the City due to such proven or settled infringement. Should Provider find, or be found, to have infringed on any intellectual property rights, Provider will, at its option and expense, procure (i) a right for the City to continue using the applicable Software or Hosted Services, (ii) a modification that avoids the infringement while continuing to satisfy the Functi onal Requirements, or (iii) a replacement that provides substantially equivalent functionality and complies with the Functional Requirements, in each case at no additional cost to City. If none of the foregoing remedies is commercially or technically feasible using commercially reasonable efforts, Provider may terminate the affected Services upon written notice and shall refund prepaid, unused fees for the terminated Services together with City’s reasonable, documented migration costs, subject to Section 34. Provider has no obligation under this Section to the extent a claim arises from (a) City Data, (b) City’s combination of the Software or Hosted Services with products or services not provided or recommended by Provider, (c) modification of the Software other than by Provider, or (d) City’s use of the Software or Hosted Services other than in accordance with the Documentation or this Agreement. City shall give Provider prompt written notice of any such claim and tender sole control of its defense and settlement to Provider, with City’s reasonable cooperation at Provider’s expense.
22. Termination
a. Termination for Default. Subject to subsection 22(b), City may terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, if Provider materially defaults and fails to cure as provided in subsection 22(b). Termination is effective on the date in City’s written notice. If Provider fails to cure, it shal l reimburse City’s reasonable, documented, actual incremental costs of substitute performance, migration, restoration, and remediation for the remainder of the then-current annual subscription period, in addition to other remedies, in each case subject to Section 34. Provider may terminate this Agreement if City material ly breaches this Agreement, including any failure to pay undisputed amounts when due, and fails to cure as provided in subsection 22(b). Termination is effective on the date in Provider’s written notice. b. Cure. The defaulting Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days following a written notice of default specifying the default in reasonable detail to cure such default or, if such default cannot reasonably be cured within such period, to provide the non- defaulting Party with a written plan reasonably satisfactory to the non-defaulting Party to cure the default and thereafter to pursue such plan diligently to completion; provided, however, that a failure to pay undisputed amounts when due must be cured within such thirty (30) day period.
c. Termination for Non-Appropriation. City’s payment obligation under this Agreement extends only to funds appropriated annually by City’s governing body for the purpose of this Agreement. For each succeeding fiscal period covered by this Agreement, -9-

City’s applicable department responsible for this Agreement agrees to include in its budget request appropriations sufficient to cover the annual financial obligations under this Agreement. However, City’s governing body has no obligation to make appropriations for the Agreement in lieu of appropriations for new or other contracts. If City appropriates insufficient funds to continue annual payments under this Agreement, City may terminate this Agreement effective upon the last day of the fiscal year for which funds were appropriated. Upon termination under this paragraph, Provider shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective termination date. Provider’s assumption of risk of possible non-appropriation is a part of the consideration for the Agreement. City shall notify Provider in writing promptly, and in no event later than thirty (30) days, after the governing body’s action resulting in insufficient appropriation, and shall not continue to use the Hosted Services after a termination under this subsection.

Provider’s own use of City Data is governed by Section 6 of this Exhibit.
Users. City is responsible and liable for: (a) the use of the Services by its Users, including any User conduct that would violate the requirements of this Agreement applicable to City; and (b) any unauthorized use of the Services through City’s accounts or credentials to the extent enabled by the acts or omissions of City or its Users, including through City’s failure to protect its passwords and log-in information or to timely deactivate the credentials of persons who cease to be Users.

Provider is not obligated to review City Data and is not liable or responsible for the content, accuracy, or appropriateness of City Data.
Provider may retain third parties (“Subprocessors”) to assist it in performing its obligations under this Agreement, provided that such Subprocessors are bound by obligations with respect to City Data no less protective than those set forth herein.

These obligations do not apply to De- Identified Data.
d. Required Disclosure. Provider may disclose City Data only when legally required.
Unless prohibited, Provider shall give City prompt written notice before disclosure, disclose only the minimum legally required, and reasonably cooperate with City’s efforts to contest or limit disclosure. Provider bears its own compliance costs and all costs arising from its breach or unauthorized processing. e. Data Accuracy. City is responsible for the accuracy, completeness and legality of the source data it supplies and for reviewing and verifying converted data, billing calculations, and system outputs before relying on or issuing them. Provider is responsible for performing data conversion and migration in accordance with the conversion plan and reconciliation standards agreed by the Parties and for the Hosted Services processing City Data in conformance with the Functional Requirements and the Documentation. Provider’s liability for data conversion, calculation, processing, interface, or output errors is subject to Sections 15 and 34 of the Agreement.
f. Regulatory Compliance. Provider shall provide records, audit materials, technical assistance, and cooperation reasonably necessary for City to verify Provider’s compliance with Data Protection Laws, accessibility requirements, security obligations, and public-records duties, at no additional charge. Provider may satisfy such requests by providing its then-current third-party audit reports, security questionnaire responses, penetration-test summaries, and accessibility conformance report. Provider shall promptly stop and remediate unauthorized or -21-

noncompliant processing at its expense. On-site audits, if any, shall occur no more than once annually on at least thirty (30) days’ written notice, during business hours, and subject to Provider’s security and confidentiality requirements. City bears costs only for extraordinary assistance unrelated to Provider’s duties and authorized in advance under Section 9. g. Security Incidents. Provider shall notify City’s designated security contact in a timely manner and in any event no later than forty-eight (48) hours after Provider confirms any unauthorized access to, or acquisition, use, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction of, City Data in Provider’s possession or control, or any ransomware event materially affecting the Services (“Security Incident”). Provider shall promptly contain and investigate the Security Incident; preserve relevant evidence; provide material updates as they become available; reasonably cooperate with City and, as appropriate, with law enforcement, regulators, insurers, and forensic specialists; restore affected City Data and Services in accordance with its incident-response and business-continuity procedures; and provide a root-cause and corrective-action summary.
