Council renews OpenGov asset-management contract; staff cites cross-department use
Summary
Anderson City Council unanimously approved a three-year renewal for the city's asset-management and operations software (OpenGov, formerly Cartograph). Staff said the system supports water, wastewater, public works, parks and fleet integrations; first-year cost disclosed as $98,000, with annual increases noted.
Anderson City Council voted unanimously to renew a three-year contract for the city’s asset-management and operations software, now provided by OpenGov (formerly Cartograph).
Ashley Prew, the city’s IT/GIS manager, said the software began as a wastewater-mapping tool and has expanded to cover water operations, public works, parks and recreation, asset life-cycle tracking and integrations with the city’s SeeClickFix system. Prew said the renewal proposal begins at $98,000 in year one and includes annual increases; the transcript’s total three-year figure is unclear and was not specified during the meeting.
Staff described operational examples: hydrant and valve inventory and GIS upgrades, generating work orders from SeeClickFix requests, fuel/fleet-card tracking, sanitation-route optimization and use during storm recovery. Council members pressed staff on the vendor history, licensing model and how the software’s expanded scope led to higher capacity and the option for unlimited user licensing under OpenGov.
A council member moved to approve the contract renewal; the motion was seconded and the council approved the three-year renewal unanimously. Staff said the procurement would provide unlimited user capacity under the negotiated terms and that departments expect continued operational benefits.
