A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
AUTHORIZING PURCHASE OF PERMITS PLUS
SOFTWARE FOR PUBLICWORKS, ELECTRIC UTILITY,
AND FIRE DEPARTMENTSTHROUGH SOLE SUPPLIER
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 interest of
the City to do so; and
WHEREAS, Lodi City Council approved the purchase of ten licenses of the
Permits Plus software in 1997 for the Building Department, which were shared with
Public Works, Electric Utility, and Fire Departments in order to fully integrate the City
with the building permit process; and
WHEREAS, the building permit program has since grown, resulting in more users
trying to share the ten licenses available. Due to the limited number of licenses, some of
the departments were only able to have one or two computers install the software,
causing delays in the permit process; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends that the City Council approve the purchase of ten
more licenses in the amount of $23,964.87, dedicated to the above departments, thus
allowing the departments to install the software onto more computers, thus speeding up
the communication between departments; and
WHEREAS, more licenses will improve permit processing by keeping up-to-date
records for each building permit that are accessible to all license holders. By
streamlining the permit process across all involved departments, the City will be able to
provide more expedient service to its customers both over the phone and in person while
ensuring that all permit requirements are met; and
WHEREAS, Accela, of San Ramon, California, is the sole supplier of Permits
Plus software.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
authorize the purchase of Permits Plus software for Public Works, Electric Utility, and
Fire Departments through sole supplier, Accela, of San Ramon, California, in the amount
of $23,964.87.
