A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE
CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A THREE-YEAR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH POWER ENGINEERS, INC., OF HAILEY, IDAHO, FOR
UTILITY NETWORK IMPLEMENTATION SERVICES
WHEREAS, Lodi Electric Utility (LEU) was previously working directly with ESRI to convert
the Milsoft Engineering Model as well as AutoCAD models to the ArcGIS platform, enabling the
use of the Utility Network Model for all electrical assets; and
WHEREAS, ESRI has since converted the Milsoft model to the ArcGIS platform; however,
only a very small portion of the model was implemented with the Utility Network and the model
conversion is not usable in any form at this point; and
WHEREAS, with ESRI's renewal upcoming, Power Engineers, Inc. (Power) was going to
be subcontracted by ESRI to progress the model into a usable form factor and as the sole source
of information for LEU going forward; and
WHEREAS, after multiple conversations with both ESRI and Power, staff decided the best
method forward was to work directly with Power to continue with the GIS conversion; and
WHEREAS, LEU Engineers will work directly with Power in an iterative and aggressive
approach to fully convert the Milsoft model and ESRI's GIS model into a usable package that can
be used as LEU's main mapping platform going forward which will enable all mapping to be
completed in ArcGIS and be automatically synchronized with Milsoft so no additional edits and
personnel time are required; and
WHEREAS, the initial project will consist of Phase 1 and Phase 2 Planning with Phase 1
to include most necessary components for LEU to be able to use ArcGIS for mapping going
forward; and
WHEREAS, a Phase 2 approach will be required at a later date to fully integrate all
components from the detailed AutoCAD maps for a fully immersive GIS mapping experience; and
WHEREAS, per Lodi Municipal Code, Section 3.20.075, engineering services are exempt
from bidding requirements and shall be awarded on the basis of professional qualifications and
experience, quality of service, past performance and negotiated prices; and
WHEREAS, LEU Engineering staff discussed the proposed scope of work with multiple
firms and concluded Power was most qualified to complete the necessary work at a reasonable
cost.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby authorize
the City Manager to execute a three-year Professional Services Agreement with Power
Engineers, Inc., of Hailey, Idaho, for utility network implementation services in an amount not to
exceed $225,000; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, pursuant to Section 6.3q of the City Council Protocol
Manual (adopted 11/6/19, Resolution No. 2019-223), the City Attorney is hereby authorized to
make minor revisions to the above -referenced document(s) that do not alter the compensation or
term, and to make clerical corrections as necessary.
