Utility Network for Water System

The City of Beaverton is seeking to modernize its water utility data infrastructure by implementing Esri's Utility Network to replace its outdated data model. This initiative aims to enhance data accuracy, enable sophisticated network connectivity, and improve integration with asset management systems such as Cityworks. The upgraded utility network will facilitate detailed modeling of vertical water assets including pump stations and wells, promote streamlined workflows, and support comprehensive reporting, thereby addressing operational demands and positioning the water system for future growth. The project underscores the City’s commitment to building a resilient, scalable water infrastructure aligned with evolving technology and growth requirements. Released as Request for Proposal 26-055 on March 5, 2026, the solicitation invites qualified vendors to submit proposals by March 26, 2026, detailing their approach to migrating existing data, designing the utility network schema, configuring ArcGIS Enterprise, and delivering post-implementation support including training. The City expects services to commence by May 4, 2026. The contract framework includes personal services terms covering performance, compensation, and legal compliance, with provisions emphasizing the use of certified subcontractors and adherence to procurement policies. Additionally, a sole source justification process is in place for acquisitions meeting specific criteria, ensuring transparency and regulatory compliance throughout procurement. The key contacts for this project include the City's GIS Manager and Procurement & Equity Coordinator, providing points of communication for vendors.
