Council approves up to $310,000 contract with Timmons Group to modernize city GIS for utilities
Summary
Council adopted a resolution authorizing a professional services agreement with Timmons Group for a GIS utility network implementation project at a cost not to exceed $310,000; finance committee said additional funds will be covered by water and sewer fund balances.
Troy City Council on May 19 adopted Resolution R26‑2025 authorizing the director of public service and safety to enter into a professional services agreement with Timmons Group of Richmond, Virginia for a GIS utility network implementation project at a cost not to exceed $310,000.
Why it matters: The city’s current geographic information system is antiquated and vendor support will be ending, the finance committee reported. The project will expand the system to store utility data and make information more available across departments.
Budget and funding: Committee members said the project cost exceeds the originally budgeted amount because additional components were added to the RFP. The committee recommended funding the increase from available fund balances in the water and sewer funds. Committee chairman stated the cost not to exceed $310,000.
Council action: Council moved to suspend readings and adopt the resolution; roll call votes adopted the measure. Staff will execute the agreement and proceed with the GIS modernization project.
Provenance: Committee report and council vote were presented during the finance committee and resolutions portion of the May 19 meeting.
