Anacortes approves $330,112.34 OpenGov (Cartograph) contract to expand asset-management access
Summary
The council authorized a three-year contract with OpenGov Inc. (formerly Cartograph) for $330,112.34 to continue the city's asset-management subscription through 2028. GIS Manager Rob Hoxie described system usage and benefits.
The Anacortes City Council authorized a three-year subscription and services agreement with OpenGov Inc. (the successor to Cartograph) for $330,112.34 to run from 2026 through 2028.
Rob Hoxie, the city’s GIS manager, outlined the system’s function as the city’s asset-management platform, saying it has been deployed incrementally since the city purchased Cartograph in 2016 and now tracks “over 92,000 different assets” across roughly 43 asset types. Hoxie noted the program integrates public reports (SeeClickFix), 811 utility locates, and internal task tracking; he said the previous license limited users to about 100 and the new contract will provide unlimited user capabilities.
Hoxie described added support services under the contract (an Orange Advantage support block of 55 hours and ongoing training resources), and told council staff and the public use the system to report and track field issues. Council members thanked Hoxie and asked about past challenges; Hoxie said many original Cartograph staff were retained after OpenGov’s acquisition, which helped continuity of service.
Council Member Currer moved to authorize the mayor to sign contract 26-006-ID-001 with OpenGov Inc. for $330,112.34; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
City staff said benefits include broader access for city divisions, better reporting and integration with field workflows, and lower start-up costs for adding departments in the future.
