Title
Contract Amendment and Dollar-Limit Increase to the Contract for the Purchase of the Replacement Development Information Management Enterprise Solution (Citywide)
Council previously approved the purchase of a Development Information Management Enterprise Solution (DIMES) to replace the current system that is used for the land development process (Tidemark), the special regulatory licensing system (COMET) and the Police Department Alarms database. The complexity of the project and the competing needs for staff resources have caused the project timeline to be extended. The majority of the change order is for additional hours for Accela Inc. to assist staff with the remainder of the project implementation, which includes script writing, report development, data conversion, acceptance testing and training.
Development Services, Business Services and Purchasing recommend authorizing an amendment and a dollar-limit increase to the contract with Accela Inc. and Open Counter Enterprises in the amount of $157,090, increasing the dollar-limit from $1,665,721.68 to $1,822,811.68 including contingency. This project is funded by the Development Services Technology Improvement Fee.
