Explanation
§ Trimble Unity Construct (formerly e-Builder), an Enterprise Project Management Information System, was adopted as a component of the city’s long-term enterprise technology strategy following the initial 2012 implementation.
§ Aviation utilizes Trimble Unity Construct as a project management tool to facilitate the cost management process and standardize document controls.
§ Waiver of a competitive solicitation process for services may be granted on a limited basis when deemed appropriate and in the city’s best interest. A waiver has been approved for these services based on the need for continuity of services.
§ At renewal, potential price adjustments may be considered based on legitimate and justified increases in the cost of doing business. The ability to consider price adjustments also allows the city to accept decreases, if warranted.
§ Annual expenditures are estimated to be $1,000,000.
