Redmond recommends Timmins/Trimble for public-works asset-management software; implementation contracts previewed

Redmond public works staff presented the city’s enterprise asset-management initiative and the recommended vendor selection following a competitive RFP process.

Staff described a selection process that began with 14 proposals, a short list of four vendors and interviews/demonstrations that led to choosing Timmins Group, a Trimble business partner. A procurement lead said Timmins has implemented hundreds of projects and recently completed work for a similar city (Corvallis). Staff recommended two contracts for council approval: a professional-services agreement with Timmins Group (about $450,000 for implementation over an estimated 16–24 months) and a three-year software-license agreement with Trimble Unity (about $150,000 total, roughly $50,000 per year during the initial three-year term). Staff said ongoing annual licensing would likely be about $60,000 per year plus CPI after the initial three years.

Levi Roberts, the city’s data and asset manager, and operations staff outlined use cases: mapping trees for pruning schedules, generating work orders from field data, consolidating maintenance history for faster operations and informing staffing and budget requests. Staff emphasized the initial focus is public works but said the system is expandable to other departments if the implementation proves successful.

Next steps: staff said the two contracts will come to council for formal approval at the Jan. 27 meeting; implementation and configuration would follow procurement and contract execution.
