Recommendation

Authorize the City Manager to enter into a facility license agreement with \n \n Trimble Navigation Limited (Trimble) for installation and operation of a Global \n \n Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) for a five year period.

Approval

Pending

Background

The City was approached by Trimble to install and operate a GNSS at the City's

Annex facility in exchange for two Virtual Reference Station (VRS) licenses for

exchange for use of the facility and access to internet service and power. The

contract will be for one year with automatic renewal for four successive years.

Analysis

Implementation of this system will improve the accuracy of the GPS data that is

currently being collected and used by the City for inclusion into the GIS

system. It will also be available to other outside entities for use in the

area.

Financial Considerations

The City will be responsible for internet service and power supply(

approximately average of 60 watts). The estimated value of this type license is

$1650 per year per license.

Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement

This will have minimum impact to the annual operating budget.

Legal Considerations

All License Agreements require Council approval.

Recommendations/ Actions

Authorize the City Manager to enter into a facility license agreement with

Trimble Navigation Limited (Trimble) for installation and operation of a Global

Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) for a five year period.
