E 4. CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For the City Council Meeting of December 7, 1999 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL: HENRY T. GARCIA, CITY MANAGER'-` tAT FROM: THOMAS K. CLARKE, UTILITY DIRECTORI_0 ` SUBJECT: APPROVE WATER DISTRIBUTION DATA CONVERSION PROJECT FOR THE CITY'S GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) DATE: November 16, 1999 BACKGROUND The City of Colton is implementing a Geographic Information System under the leadership of the Electric Utility department. As the implementation of this program continues, there exists a need for contracting consultants experienced in conversion of paper map data into computer digital format for use in the GIS. DISCUSSION The next major step in the GIS implementation project is the conversion of hardcopy data into a specific GIS format. The first of these extensive projects is the water distribution system. The benefit of having the water distribution system data in the City's GIS is that it will allow employees, and others that have necessity for it, to access the information that at this time only exists in storage vaults. ALTERNATIVES There were three well-written proposals submitted in response to the Request for Proposals. Staff selected the most applicable proposal, which also came in at the least cost. Nobel Systems is the company that provided the City's Water Pilot Area Data Conversion Project. FISCAL IMPACT Funding for these services is available in the Water/Wastewater Administration Professional Services Account No. 521-8300-8300-2350. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached Utility Department Professional Services Agreement with Nobel Systems, for an amount not to exceed $80,000, for the water distribution data conversion and associated services for the City of Colton.
