Explanation
§ There is a greater need to analyze water and wastewater system capabilities and plan for expanded service to support the growth within the City and Mecklenburg County.
§ Charlotte Water has been using two separate water and wastewater system modeling software since 2007. Since the original purchases, the software companies consolidated into one company, Innovyze, Inc.
§ Software licenses, annual maintenance, and upgrades to the existing system will be purchased to expand Charlotte Water’s capabilities and support the additional workload.
§ Charlotte Water seeks a contract with Innovyze, Inc. due to the expanded internal use and capabilities of this suite of applications.
§ Additional software licenses, services, hosting and hardware will be purchased as needed to optimize the City’s use of the system.
§ Expenditures for licensing, system implementation and first year maintenance are estimated to be $84,439.
§ Maintenance and support will also be purchased for as long as the City uses the software. This may be done by amendment to the original contract or by new contracts with the same or other vendors that may offer such services in the future. Expenditures for maintenance and support are estimated to be $28,226 per year, subject to adjustments as authorized by the contract or by the City Manager.
§ Waiver of a competitive solicitation process may be granted when deemed appropriate and in the City’s best interest. Such a finding has been made and a waiver granted for this procurement.
