To: 
City Council 
Through: 
Michael Kennington, Deputy City Manager/Chief Financial Officer 
From: 
Edward Quedens, Business Services Director 
 
Kristy Garcia, Procurement Administrator 
Subject: 
Three-Year Use of a Cooperative Term Contract with Seven One-Year 
Renewal Options for the Purchase of a Capital Planning and Asset 
Management Solution for the Department of Innovation and Technology for 
the Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities and Facilities Management 
Departments (Citywide) 
 
Recommendation 
 
Council is requested to approve the award as recommended.  
 
The Department of Innovation and Technology and the Parks, Recreation and Community 
Facilities and Facilities Management Departments and Procurement Services recommend 
authorizing the purchase using the Sourcewell cooperative contract with the Gordian Group  
in total amounts not to exceed $1,212,028 for Years 1 – 3 combined, and $76,240 annually 
for Years 4 – 10, with an annual increase allowance of up to 5%, or the adjusted Consumer 
Price Index. 
 
Background / Discussion 
 
This purchase will provide the Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities and Facilities 
Management Departments with a facility condition assessment and asset management 
software platform to support facility lifecycle planning and capital renewal forecasting. It 
includes two purchases from Gordian Group. The first will be Onsite Facility Condition 
Assessments for City facilities managed by Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities 
and Facilities Management to document building system conditions and identify 
maintenance and capital renewal needs. The second service is a Cloud-based Asset 
Management and Capital Planning Software to store assessment data, track facility 
conditions, prioritize projects, estimate costs, and support long-range capital planning. 
Implementing these services will establish a consistent, data-driven framework for 
evaluating facility conditions, prioritizing capital projects, and improving long-range financial 
planning. 
 
The City Project Team conducted a comprehensive evaluation of 28 potential software 
solutions. Each solution was assessed against strict review criteria including key features, 
use by other comparable government entities (including references), pricing, ability to meet 
required integrations, and adherence to ‘must have’ requirements. Based on the evaluation, 
the list of 28 proposers was narrowed down to 8. Demonstrations were then conducted with

2 
 
the top two highest-scoring proposers. Gordian achieved the highest overall score and was 
selected as the preferred solution. Gordian was also the only proposer offering a database 
(RSMeans) of comparable construction costs, which will significantly improve the City’s 
ability to accurately analyze the remaining life and projected costs of the Parks, Recreation 
and Community Facilities and Facilities Management buildings and assets. Gordian 
Group’s capital planning and asset management solution is available through the 
Sourcewell cooperative contract and has been reviewed and approved to proceed by the 
City’s Technology Steering Committee. 
 
The Sourcewell cooperative contract has been competitively solicited and meets the City’s 
procurement requirements. Utilizing the Sourcewell contract allows the City to receive 
competitive rates based on a formally solicited agreement. The City believes the pricing is 
fair and reasonable and soliciting for these services would not result in the City receiving 
more favorable pricing or terms.
