AGREEMENT WITH RED OAK CONSULTING - COMPUTER SOFTWARE ENHANCEMENTS AND MAINTENANCE OF SPILL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

 

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into an agreement with Red Oak Consulting, a division of Malcolm Pirnie, Inc., to assist with computer software enhancements to and maintenance of the Spill Management System module on the Water Services Department's Information Access System (IAS). These enhancements will increase the functionality to the Spill Management System by streamlining the reporting process and will develop programming to change the spill report format to a decision-tree based process.

 

Currently, the system enables the department to accurately manage internal data relating to various spilled materials throughout the department. The system also allows the department to actively notify government agencies in a timely manner and provides compliance with City of Phoenix Administrative Regulation for Spill Prevention, Response, and Reporting.

 

On May 1, 2009, the Water Services Department mailed letters inviting six qualified firms selected from the Qualified Vendor List (QVL) for information technology professional services to submit a written proposal to assist with modifying the Spill Management System module by streamlining the reporting process and developing programming to change the spill report form mechanism to a decision-tree based process. Letters were sent to the following:

 

IBM Corporation

Jimenez Consulting Solutions, LLC

KVG Consultants

Red Oak Consulting

SJM Technologies

Tech One

 

Red Oak Consulting was the only firm that submitted a proposal by the deadline date which was extended through June 2, 2009.

 

The Selection Committee considered the firm against the task areas and other qualification criteria specified in the invitation to submit proposals. Based on the quality of their submittal and staff resumes, the committee reached a consensus that Red Oak Consulting is highly qualified to perform the enhancements and maintenance of the Spill Management System module. The firm has experts on staff specializing in providing information technology services to municipal utilities with experience in developing regulatory compliance software systems. The firm also has experts on staff with extensive knowledge of both Arizona and Federal environmental regulations.

 

The agreement will commence on the date of execution of the agreement and continue through June 30, 2010. If there is a mutual consent between the parties, the agreement can be extended for a period of one year. This option will be exercised by the department if considered in the City's best interest to do so.

 

Financial Impact

The total amount of this agreement will not exceed $75,000. Funding is allocated in Fiscal Year 2008-2009 from the Water Services Department Technology Services Division's Operating budget using Water Maintenance and Operation funds.

 

Affirmative Action

The subject firm is eligible to do business with the City until November 12, 2009, by its compliance with the affirmative action requirements of the City Code, Chapter 18, Article V.

RIVA ONLINE SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT AND SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT WITH RIVA MODELING SYSTEMS, INC.

 

Request to authorize the City Manager to enter into a perpetual software license agreement with RIVA Modeling Systems, Inc., and the support and maintenance agreement for the RIVA ONLINE software used for all rehabilitation management projects to forecast front-end treatment plant inventory management needs for Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects.

 


In September 2004, City Council authorized the Water Services Department to complete a detailed assessment of the 24th Street Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and to develop an Equipment Replacement Master Plan that will identify specific CIP projects required to maintain the integrity and reliability of the 24th Street WTP. This assessment included preparation of a detailed inventory of the equipment and facilities associated with the 24th Street WTP. Based on the condition assessment, a Master Plan was developed to identify specific projects to facilitate the systematic replacement of the equipment and facilities.

 

As part of that study, a pilot research project was conducted to identify a user-friendly software tool that could be integrated with the existing Water Services Department's Oracle Work Asset Management (WAM) System. The research identified and evaluated the RIVA ONLINE software's ability as an asset life-cycle analysis and a CIP planning tool. This tool will be used for other similar rehabilitation management projects at other treatment facilities. The RIVA ONLINE software application is suited for linear and fixed assets and is user-friendly so that high-level software programming in not needed by City staff.

 

Riva Modeling Systems, Inc. conducted evaluation pilots for efficacy and performance, and provided staff training and programmatic usage services. The City purchased the one-time RIVA ONLINE software license fee of $43,500, along with one year of support and maintenance services. The software license agreement authorizes an unlimited number of users to access or otherwise use the services or functionality of the software. The license rights granted are perpetual and irrevocable and apply to all upgrades, fixes, and other software provided as part of any support and maintenance services. Purchase of an annual support and maintenance agreement provides minor and major version updates and unlimited normal business hours technical support.

 

The perpetual use of the maintenance and support from RIVA Modeling Systems, Inc. will run concurrent with life use of the RIVA ONLINE software. The support and maintenance agreement renews automatically on the anniversary date of completion of implementation. Subject to the terms and condition of the support and maintenance agreement, this agreement can be cancelled at any time.

 

Financial Impact

The cost of the annual support and maintenance agreement is based on 20 percent of the application purchase price, payable at the beginning of each year. The estimated cost per year is $8,700, and any inflationary increase will not exceed 5 percent per year. Funding for this year is allocated in Fiscal Year 2008-2009 from the Water Services Department Technical Services Division's Operating budget using Water Maintenance and Operation funds. Funding will be requested in the annual budget for subsequent years' renewal maintenance fees.

 


Affirmative Action

The firm is exempt from City of Phoenix affirmative action requirements as stated in Chapter 18, Article V, Section 18-20(K) and Section 18-21(A.3) of the Phoenix City Code.
