DISCUSSION
Project Description
The work to be performed by Accela, Inc. is to provide the City with Accela
AutomationTM (City side)/VelocityHallTM (public side) which is a web-based application
that will allow the City of Palo Alto, contractors, and citizens to apply for and receive
permits.
CMR:204:04 Page 1 of 4
This contract is an extension of the current Accela contract for the Permit Tracking
System used by the Building Division. The above enhancement will allow the City more
flexibility in consolidating the applications used to process City permits. In addition, it
will allow citizens and contractors to apply for and check the status of permits via the
Internet on a 24-hour, 7 days per week basis and does not restrict them to the City’s
normal business hours.
The new modules included in this contract are as follows:
¯Planning entitlements
¯Building permits
¯Code enforcement cases
¯Fire permits
¯Business license (This is the name given to this module by Accela, Inc.; it does not
imply that the City of Palo Alto has implemented or intends to implement a
business license!tax. The City of Palo Alto will use this module for processing
special permits, e.g., block party, taxi, helicopter, etc.)
The pricing model presented to the City is for an initial implementation fee of $71,950
and an annual maintenance fee of $100,602. This fee is to cover the processing cost of
both the City and public sides of the application and also covers the maintenance of
existing modules insta!led on the City system.
Selection Process
Staff did not issue a request for proposals (RFP) for this contract due to the fact that the
proposed application is an extension of the current permit tracking system being used by
the City. The current permit tracking system is provided by Accela, Inc. (Contract #
$2139708).
The Building Department has been using the Accela System since 2002. Code
Enforcement has been using the Accela System since 2003.
