PBOT has been using the current Centura-based application since 1995. Vendor support for this application stopped in approximately 2004 and internal (PBOT) support stopped in 2022. There are several issues with the application, specifically related to patching, which can and has caused the application to crash and work to stop. In addition, Windows Access 97 is installed on several machines and is necessary to operate this application, which is also no longer supported. This contract will include software licenses and software support as well as implementation services. The implementation is expected to be completed in 10 months and the licensing term is 3 years. The not to exceed amount includes $1,500,000 over a three-year term for Granicus software licenses and Granicus software as a service. This project is budgeted in the current fiscal year (2023-24) and will be budgeted over the life of the project. This is being funded by utility revenues.
