Issue/Request:
Staff seeks approval of a new four year Enterprise Agreement with ESRI, to the maintenance of our Geographic Information Systems Software.
Key Issues:
-The City has maintained an Enterprise Agreement (EA) with Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (“ESRI”) for the licensing and maintenance and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software for the last three years.
-The proposed EA with ESRI provides the City with an additional four years of fixed pricing.
-The EA will allow the City to continue the expantion of the City’s GIS mapping and analysis without additional licensing costs.
-The additional licensing will allow for the creation of testing environments for internal applications, and place public facing mapping applications in a secure network locations.
-This is a sole source agreement because ESRI is the only provider of maintenance and licenses for their products under an EA, they do not use resellers.
-The annual cost of an EA Is still in the 50,001 - 100,000 population bracket. It is increasing from $50,000 annually to $55,000. This is significantly lower than the increase envisioned for the move past 100,000 in population.
-We are adding an additional software to the EA, GeoEvent Server. These tools allow for instant map-based location identification of geo-enabled vehicles, including Police and Fire vehicles.
-The total annual cost is $60,500. $242,000 for the aggregate term of the agreement.
