A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING
THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR A DATABASE CONVERSION
WITH MILSOFT UTILITY SOLUTIONS, OF ABILENE, TEXAS
WHEREAS, in 2009, the City Council adopted Resolutions No. 2009-40 and 2009-59,
authorizing R.W. Beck, Inc., to perform power system studies and the sole -source purchase of
engineering analysis software from MilSoft Utility Solutions, Inc., respectively; and
WHEREAS, R.W. Beck, Inc., modeled the Lodi Electric Utility (LEU) electric distribution
system in MilSoft Windmill, however the model only included the feeders and tap lines to the
distribution transformers without fully extending the circuit model to each individual customer
meter since the actual data was not available at that time; and
WHEREAS, now that the City has fixed network meter data, if the model is updated to
include the meters, much more accurate data will be available in the circuit model; and
WHEREAS, staff is recommending engaging MilSoft Utility Solutions to assist with a
database conversion to import all of the meter data from the ESRI GIS map database into the
MilSoft circuit model to approximate each meter and transformer connection based on physical
location; and
WHEREAS, LEU staff and a summer intern will then confirm meter connections are
accurate to the actual distribution transformer and make corrections as needed; and
WHEREAS, once these connections are in the circuit model, it will provide for significant
improvements in the accuracy of the engineering studies.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement for a database
conversion with MilSoft Utility Solutions, of Abilene, Texas, in an amount not to exceed $45,000.
