A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE
PURCHASE OF PURCHASE/PERMIT/PROJECT TRACKING SOFTWARE
AND APPROVE AGREEMENT WITH SIERRA COMPUTER SYSTEMS
FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, AND APPROPRIATE FUNDS TO
COVER THIS PROJECT
WHEREAS, Lodi Municipal Code, Section 3.20.070, authorizes dispensing with
bids for purchases of supplies, services or equipment when it is in the best interests of the
City to do so; and
WHEREAS, the computer program being used by the Building Division was
purchased in 1985 from Northern California Systems, and the program was designed to
run on computer by hardware which is now five generations removed from the current
system; and
WHEREAS, over the past ten years, software has been modified but still is not
capable of providing the full permit and project tracking foundation available in the market
today, and further upgrades to this system would require the hiring of a programmer to
essentially rewrite the software; and
WHEREAS, staff has tracked the various software vendors and their products for
the past five years, and in that time the "PERMITS plus" software developed by Sierra
Computer Systems of Visalia has proven itself to be the industry leader.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council hereby
approves the purchase of Purchase Permit/Project Tracking Software, and further
approves the agreement with Sierra Computer Systems for professional services; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that $54,909.70 be appropriated as follows to cover
this project:
Community Development Dept. 1996-97 Budget Carryover $11,709.70
1997/98 Capital Improvement Budget $43,200.00
Dated: September 17, 1997
