SUBJECT:
Contract with Nobel Systems, Inc. for Citywide GIS Integrations, GeoViewer, GeoViewer Web hosting Subscription, and Data Management Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a three-year contract with Nobel Systems, Inc. (Nobel), for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $163,984, for the City’s Geographical Information Systems (GIS) software and associated services.
BACKGROUND
Nobel has been the City’s provider for GIS and GeoViewer integrations, data management, and administrative training since 2007. In 2016, Nobel also began web hosting the City’s GeoViewer public system, which allows City employees access to GIS data and real-time parcel information. This system also facilitates citizen access to public GIS data through the City’s website.
Additionally, as part of the GIS Data Management service, Nobel provides updates for the City’s GIS assets, including the water, sewer, storm, and street geodatabases. This data is regularly used for Hydraulic Modeling purposes, as well as other existing City-operated applications such as: Geoviewer, Cityworks, Trakit, and Granite XP. In addition, Nobel provides regular feature and security updates.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Nobel has a long-standing relationship with the City, and as such possesses extensive knowledge of the City’s GIS infrastructure. As the current contract with Nobel expired on June 30th, 2022, a new three-year contract is recommended to maintain long-term stability & functionality of critical GIS-integrated services. In addition, Nobel provides data management services to ensure the accuracy of GIS information stores.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this contract has been included in the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Operating Budget and will continue to be included in the Information Technology annual operating budget.
ALTERNATIVE(S)
