The Town of Los Gatos has been utilizing an Enterprise Asset Management System (EAM) by
Cartegraph since 2004. The Cartegraph Asset Management Program allows for day-to-day
management of work activities by effectively logging and tracking citizen requests , scheduling
work orders, and tracking of assets and work history throughout the Town. The Parks and
Public Works Department currently tracks facilities, parks, streets, sidewalks, signs, and fleet.
The system is essential in managing the work of the department and identifying the needs of
the Town’s assets.

DISCUSSION:
This past fall, staff from Parks and Public Works issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to firms
who specialize in providing EAM systems. Staff received and reviewed seven proposals through
the RFP process. Four companies were short listed and extended the opportunity to provide
product demonstrations. After extensive review and discussions, Cartegraph, Inc. was chosen
as the company that best meets the needs of the Town due to its experience, quality of
product, and rankings by the evaluation panel.
Following the identification of Cartegraph as the best match for the Town’s needs, staff entered
negotiations, successfully obtaining more in person meetings with Cartegraph’s Customer
Success Team to ensure that staff receives training on quarterly product updates. In addition,
the number of user licenses has increased from 12 to 25, which will allow multiple users for
management, maintenance, and administration to be added to the system. Staff was also able
to negotiate the cost down from the original proposal.
CONCLUSION:
Authorize the Town Manager to negotiate and execute a five-year Agreement for Services with
Cartegraph, Inc. for Enterprise Asset Management System services, to be effective January 1,
2020 through December 31, 2024 in an amount not to exceed $34,165 annually, and a total
agreement amount not to exceed $181,263, with three five-year options thereafter.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds of $38,400 have been appropriated in the Adopted FY 2019/20 Parks and Public Works
Operating Budget for the system. The proposed agreement includes a first-year cost of $34,165
plus a 3% annual price escalation. A minor adjustment in the budget line item for this system
will be needed in year five.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
This is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.
