SUBJECT:
One-Year Contract with Nobel Systems, Inc. for Geographical Information Systems Software and Associated Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council and Board of Directors of the Hesperia Water District (District) authorize the City Manager to enter into a one-year contract with Nobel Systems, Inc. (Nobel), for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $ 87,252, 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. In 2023, the contract with Nobel was amended to add Valve Exercising, DigAlert, and Unlimited Forms.
As part of the City’s ongoing GIS Data Management service, Nobel provides updates for the City’s GIS assets, including regular feature enhancements, security, and data, ensuring accuracy of water, sewer, storm drain, and street assets.
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 expires on June 30th, 2026, establishing a new one-year contract agreement will ensure stability & functionality of critical GIS-integrated services. This contract will also allow Nobel to continue to provide data management services to ensure the accuracy of GIS information.
