Saline County Road and Bridge Seeks Approval to Renew OpenGov Maintenance Contract

The Saline County Road and Bridge department has requested approval to renew its maintenance contract with OpenGov Inc., formerly Cartegraph Solutions, for software used to manage various operations including workflow, asset tracking, maintenance logs, and inventory management. The proposed agreement spans three years with annual fees increasing by 4.5%. Additionally, there is an annual conference fee of $2,400 to send two employees. The contract includes a termination clause for non-appropriation of funds, aligning with the Kansas Cash Basis Law. Staff recommends accepting the agreement, citing the software's effectiveness since its adoption in 2007. It has streamlined operations, allowing rural operators to enter their own time and providing access to asset information from mobile devices. The budget impact for the first year is $33,969.50, drawn from the Computer Maintenance budget line item, with subsequent years increasing accordingly. The County Commission has passed the resolution to proceed with the contract renewal.
