CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
Subject:
Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino authorizing the
execution of an agreement and purchase order to Accela, Inc., for maintenance of the Permits+
system.
Background:
The Pennits+ system was originally purchased in 1995, and is used by Development Services,
Fire Department, Code Compliance Division, and the Water Department. This system is used to
produce and track various pennits, cases, and inspections.
On January 7, 2008, City Council approved the purchase of Accela IVR (Interactive Voice
Response System), Accela GIS, Accela Wireless, and Accela OfficeLink. These components are
integrated with Pennits+ and are used to improve customer service and streamline the inspection
and pennitting processes.
Accela, Inc. (fonnerly Sierra Computer Systems, Inc.), located in Visalia, California is the
vendor of the system, and the sole source for Permits+ maintenance and support services. These
services include telephone support and software upgrades, and are necessary to keep this critical
- system running and up to date.
Financial Impact:
The annual cost for maintenance and support of the core system, not including the components
purchased January 2008, is $40,699.42. This is an increase of $3,699.96 over the fiscal year
2007/2008 cost of $36,999.46.
The total annual cost for maintenance and support of the Pennits+ system, including $11,093.11
for the new components purchased in January 2008, is $51,792.53
Recommendation:
Adopt resolution.
