Commission OKs unlimited Cartograph users for Road and Bridge; county to add at least 15 seats
Summary
Miami County commissioners approved expanding the Road and Bridge department's OpenGov Cartograph subscription to an unlimited-user tier, authorizing $6,250 for the remainder of 2025 and $7,875 for the following year; the change will let Road and Bridge and other departments add staff to an asset-management system.
The Miami County Commission on May 21 authorized Road and Bridge to upgrade its Cartograph asset-management license to an unlimited-user package and to pay $6,250 for the remainder of 2025, with a recurring annual price of $7,875 thereafter.
Eric Sandberg, speaking for Road and Bridge, told the commission the department already manages more than 16,000 signs in Cartograph and uses the system for sign infrastructure. He said the upgrade would let the department add road segments, culverts, bridges and other assets and that at least 15 additional Road and Bridge staff would be added immediately.
Why it matters: Expanding the user base will let supervisors and technicians log work (for example, rock or resurfacing on road segments) and may allow other departments such as building maintenance and technology to use the same inventory system.
Sandberg said the department currently has five licensed users and that the unlimited tier would allow immediate expansion; Lucas (staff member referenced in discussion) also has plans to add building-maintenance uses. During the presentation Sandberg described the proposed fees and the expected initial user counts.
Commissioner Dideker moved to approve the purchase; Commissioner Vaughn seconded. The commission approved the motion unanimously.
The county will implement the expanded user accounts through Road and Bridge; Sandberg said supervisors and project staff will begin entering culvert and bridge data and that the system will expand to other county uses over time.
