AutoCad is a computer aided design and drafting software
application used by Lodi Electric Utility (LEU) engineering staff
which serves as the official system of record for LEU's installed
distribution infrastructure.
AutoCad allows engineering staff to document electrical distribution infrastructure with an industry
specific toolset for electrical design. This software is a key element providing staff the ability to digitally
design, create, edit and maintain work orders, maps, details and specifications in an automated
environment. These electronic maps are criticalto the safe and reliable operation of Lodi's electric
distribution system and as such, LEU requires continued access to utilize this tool. Continuing to use this
software supports existing efforts to implement a blueprint for LEU's GIS build-out, and provides
assistance with numerous system architecture and technical decisions required in the design phase.
ln accordance with Lodi Municipal Code, Section 3.20.070, AutoCad is an Autodesk product and DLT
Solutions is the only Autodesk authorized government vendor for products and support.
This subscription renewal is required to ensure the most current software updates and features are
available as well as associated support, Approximately $1,000 in annual savings is realized with a three-
year subscription as proposed.
