Body
CITY PROPOSAL:
RESOLVED, that the proper city officials are hereby authorized to enter into a three-year Enterprise Level Agreement, substantially in the form of that attached as Exhibit A, with Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc., for Geographical Information System (GIS) Licensing for a three-year total of $150,000, payable from General Fund 110, Public Administration 121, Information Technology 1107, Software Licenses and Maintenance Agreements 5414.
Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes the City to enter into an Enterprise Level Agreement (ELA) with Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI) for the purposes of centralized enterprise level Geographical Information System (GIS) licensing for a three-year period in the amount of $150,000.
This purchase will centralize the licensing and allow for the additional licensing capacity that the City needs to expand its usage of GIS across all departmental areas of the City, including online GIS mapping services. The cost will be allocated over three years as follows:
2016 - $30,000
2017 - $60,000
2018 - $60,000
In comparison to the existing agreement with ESRI, the new agreement significantly expands the scope of services to the City of Duluth while decreasing the cost to the City by $21,500 over the three year period.
The City standardized on ESRI’s GIS mapping software in 2000. This is a sole source purchase as it is an enhancement and expansion of the current GIS system.
