015-01/20 - NOI - Hexagon Professional Services

Notice is hereby given by the City of Burnaby of its intent to enter into a contract with Intergraph Canada Ltd. dba Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure for professional services related to the Burnaby Fire Departments I/CAD Fire Dispatch Systems' database conversion.

The estimated value of this contract is $131,000 including applicable taxes.

The City of Burnaby did not call for competitive proposals for the following reasons:

- Hexagon has specific knowledge of the proprietary I/CAD product;

- Hexagon has done extensive work to develop a semantic layer that provides a translation of the underlying database structures of I/CAD;

- Hexagon has done extensive work to develop a Data Warehouse for public safety information based on the I/CAD database;

- Hexagon has done extensive work to develop the Extract, Transform and Load ("ETL") scripts used to populate the Data Warehouse from the source I/CAD Database;

- The vendor has unique knowledge and has demonstrated experience with the development, implementation, and support of the City's fire dispatch system for over 10 years; and

- Changeover to an alternate software provider would result in significant total overall costs and possible disruption of services critical to public safety.

Vendors wishing to object to this decision should EMAIL a letter of objection presenting
specific reasons for their objection by 3:00 p.m., local time, February 11, 2020
