License and Inspections Software
Department:Information Technology
Caption:Approve Purchase of Software, Services, and Equipment for
the implementation of Code Enforcement, Excise Tax,
Business License, and Building Permit Management
software.
Background:License & Inspections (L&I) desires to have software that
will support the functions of Code Enforcement, Excise Tax,
Business License, and Building Permit Management. In
addition to satisfying their business functions, the department
also desires to have Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
capability, the ability to connect remotely so that staff in the
field can communicate to the office, an internet-ready
method of offering services to citizens, and the ability to take
advantage of various digital media for record-keeping. L&I
also desires a vendor that supports many customers and has a
long-term commitment to keeping their product current and
viable. In 2004, License & Inspections selected Hansen, Inc.
to fulfill the requirements of this same RFP (04-114). A
contract was signed with Hansen in 2005, but the relationship
between Augusta and Hansen was dissolved in 2006 due to
Hansen's non-performance of the project requirements. All
funds expended were refunded to Augusta by Hansen.
Information Technology, Procurement, and License &
Inspections have worked cooperatively in order to reestablish
contact with the other vendors that responded to the RFP in
order to determine which vendor best suited the requirements
described above, with additional scrutiny being placed on
each vendor concerning their project management practices
and the immediate availability of the software that they
proposed to provide to Augusta.
Analysis:In conjunction with the Procurement Department and
Information Technology, L&I reviewed several vendors in
the fall of 2006 (RFP# 04-114) and determined that
Municipal Software Corporation, Inc. offered the most
advantageous mix of software and services. Municipal’s
products provide L&I with the ability to modify software to
meet their business needs, and they have kept their products
current with the prevailing technical environment over time.
Municipal has deployed the software package that we will be
implementing for many of their users, and the product has
proven itself to be effective. Adopting Municipal as the
vendor of choice for this project will provide a long-term
technical structure in which L&I can succeed.
Financial Impact:The estimated cost is approximately $599,000, of which
$400,000 is approved in the 2006 IT Capital budget and
$199,000 is funded by the Licensing & Inspection Building
Division Fund Balance.
Alternatives:None
Recommendation:Approve Purchase of Software, Services, and Equipment for
implementation of Code Enforcement, Excise Tax, Business
License, and Building Permit Management software.

promptness so as not to unduly delay the progress of Vendor’s Services.
2. City’s Project Manager and Project Staff. The City shall designate and assign a City

act on behalf of the City for all purposes under this Agreement. The City Project
Manager, or his/her designee, shall be the principal officer of the City for liaison with the

performed, in particular, but not exhaustively, Project Plan, Functional Requirement
Specifications, Statements of Work, Acceptance Plans, Statements of Completion,

Manager, but reserves the right to appoint another person as City Project Manager upon
written notice to the Vendor.
3. Project Plan. The City shall be responsible for meeting specific milestones and providing
specific deliverables that have been agreed to in Exhibit D. Should the City fail to meet
the agreed milestones or to provide the agreed deliverables, the Vendor will inform the
City of the consequences thereof and reserves the right to modify the project plan
accordingly.
SECTION IV
COMPENSATION
1. Compensation. In consideration of the performance by Vendor of the Services, the City
shall pay to the Vendor compensation at the rates set forth in Exhibit “A” attached hereto
and incorporated herein by reference. While estimates have been provided for certain
work items in the project, such as data conversion, total compensation under this
Agreement shall not exceed the Total Project amount as indicated in Exhibit “A” without
written approval of the City Administrator or the Augusta Commission depending on the
amount of the excess and the reason why the initial amount was insufficient.
2. Extra Service. The Vendor shall not receive additional compensation for any extra
service unless such extra service has been authorized in writing by the City prior to the
commencement of the extra service. The City shall pay the Vendor for extra service in
accordance with the fee schedule set forth in Exhibit “A”. As used herein, “Extra
Service” means any work which is determined by City to be necessary for the proper
completion of the Project, but which the Parties did not reasonably anticipate would be
necessary at the execution of this Agreement.
3. Payment of Compensation. The Vendor shall submit invoices to the City as defined in
the payment milestones in Exhibit A, or on such other basis as may be mutually agreed
upon by the Parties. Each invoice will be itemized. The City shall make payments to the
Vendor within thirty (30) days following the date of receipt of the invoice, unless the City
disputes the amount of the Compensation the Vendor claims it is owed under this
Agreement. Any disputed amount shall be handled as discussed herein.
4. Reimbursements. Vendor shall not be reimbursed for any expenses unless authorized in
writing by City. Such reimbursable expenses, if approved, shall include only those
expenses which are reasonably and necessarily incurred by Vendor in the interests of the
Project. Reimbursable expenses will be paid only at the actual cost to the Vendor, with
no mark-up for overhead or profit.
5. Disputed Sums. The City will withhold up to one hundred percent (100%) of any
disputed portion of Compensation until resolution of the dispute with the Vendor. Such
withholding shall only take place due to non-performance of the Vendor, with non-
performance being defined as the inability to complete the project or parts thereof when
Augusta has fulfilled its obligation to the vendor, and shall not be deemed to constitute a
failure to pay by the City. The Vendor shall not have the right to allege a breach of this
9
Agreement for failure to pay by the City and to discontinue its performance of the
Services hereunder for a period of thirty (30) days from the date Compensation is
withheld hereunder. The City’s Project Manager and the Vendor’s Project Manager shall
attempt to promptly resolve the dispute. The Vendor shall have an immediate right to
appeal to the City Administrator with respect to withheld amounts. The determination of
the City Administrator with respect to such matters shall be final, subject to the mediation
and arbitration provisions provided herein. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting
the Parties rights to pursue all available legal remedies.
6. Mediation. Should any dispute arise out of the termination or abandonment of this
Agreement, any party may request that it be submitted to mediation. The parties shall
meet in mediation within thirty (30) days of a request. The mediator shall be agreed to by
the mediating parties; in the absence of an agreement, the parties shall each submit one
name from mediators listed by the American Arbitration Association, Judicial Arbitration
and Mediation Service (JAMS) or other agreed-upon service. The mediator shall be
selected by a “blindfolded” process. The mediation shall take place in Augusta, Georgia.
The cost of mediation shall be borne equally by the parties. Neither party shall be
deemed the prevailing party. No party shall be permitted to file a legal action arising out
of the termination or abandonment of this agreement without first meeting in mediation
and making a good faith attempt to reach a mediated settlement. The mediation process,
once commenced by a meeting with the mediator, shall last until agreement is reached by
the parties but not more than thirty (30) days, unless the parties extend the maximum time
by mutual agreement.
