BACKGROUND
On July 18, 2019, the City of Murrieta (City) purchased the Geocortex Geographic Information System (GIS) from Latitude Geographics Group. Geocortex integrated with City GIS data and provided staff with a framework for building and configuring web mapping applications. Geocortex was a cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) product. The City's GIS division utilized Geocortex for its GIS functions and projects for various departments. Since the initial purchase, Latitude Geographics Group was acquired by VertiGIS. On September 3, 2024, the City Council approved an agreement to upgrade the software from Geocortex to a new framework called VertiGIS Studio.
Staff recommends renewing the software with VertiGIS (Attachment 1) for one year, from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, in the amount of $16,100. The agreement may be renewed for one additional year upon written agreement of both parties. City Council approval is required because the aggregate amount of the previous agreements for this service exceeds the City Manager's procurement authority.
