5. Request from the Planning & Enforcement Department for the Awarding of a NovaLIS
Software Package: During the five o'clock meeting, Inspections and Planning Director Niblock
said his FY 05-06 budget included $175,000 for a software system to replace the current zoning and
permitting system. He said bids were recently opened and the low bidder, Concord Engineering, was
$5,000 over the budgeted amount. Niblock said the low bidder included a license for an ArcGIS
engine, a system that would allow inspectors in the field to access the county's GIS system with
laptop computers. He said the enhancement would be beneficial, and he recommended for the bid to
be awarded to Concord Engineering, or the low bidder. Niblock said the extra $5,000 could be found
by transferring funds out of the contracted services line item.
The bids that were received are as follows:
Novalis $214,000.00
Concord Engineering 180,000.00
Woolpert Engineering 716,256.00 (adjusted to $382,032.00)
The contract was awarded to Concord Engineering as recommended by staff.
