Agenda Report
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Benjamin Siegel, City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Matisse Reischl, Assistant City Manager
PREPARED BY: Ashley Melchor, Senior Management Analyst
DATE: August 15, 2023
SUBJECT: Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Agreement with Infinity
Technologies for Information Technology Services, Adding
Geographic Information System (GIS) Support Services.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Professional
Services Agreement (“Agreement”) with Infinity Technologies (“Infinity”) for Information
Technology Services, adding Geographic Information System Services.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The City currently contracts with Infinity Technologies (Infinity) for information technology
(IT) services and support for a fixed annual cost of $285,480. The term of the agreement
extends through September 30, 2027. Infinity has demonstrated an exceptional level of
customer service for on-site City staff and has maintained the City’s IT infrastructure to a
high level of functionality and security. The proposed amendment would expand the
scope of work to include geographic information systems (GIS) support services. The
City’s GIS system is used throughout City departments, as well as by the public, for
property data and infrastructure mapping and retrieval of location-specific information.
Historically, the City had employed a dedicated GIS Technician within the Utilities
Division. As part of the water and sewer utility annexation to Santa Margarita Water
District (SMWD), this position was transitioned to SMWD. Since the annexation in 2021,
the City has contracted for part-time GIS support services from SMWD; however, this
arrangement was envisioned to be temporary to assist the City while plans for long-term
GIS support were developed.

After reviewing several options for GIS services, staff is recommending that the City
Council approve an amendment to the Infinity Technologies agreement to add GIS
support to the existing scope of work, for an annual not to exceed amount of $14,400. To
ensure a seamless transition, the City would maintain the contract with SMWD through
the current agreement term of June 30, 2025. Pending Council approval of the
recommended action, staff would manage the assignments of both SMWD and Infinity to
remain within the funding available in the current Information Technology operating
budget designated for GIS support services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is sufficient funding in the adopted Fiscal Year 2023-24 Information Technology
operating budget to fund the cost of GIS support services.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Not applicable.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL REVIEW:
• On September 6, 2022, the City Council approved a Professional Services
Agreement with Infinity Technologies for Information Technology Services,
including on-site support for City facilities and special projects associated with the
Jamboree Supportive Housing and New City Hall project.
• On June 1, 2021, the City Council approved a Consent to Assignment Agreement
which assigned an existing Professional Services Agreement with Interwest
Consulting Group for information technology services and support to Infinity
Technologies for a term ending September 30, 2022.

EXHIBIT A
Scope of Services
Scope of Services for monthly IT management support and services associated with the Permanent
Supportive Housing/New City Hall project services remains the same as identified in the original
agreement.
Additionally, IT support services associated with Geographic Information System (“GIS”) projects
include:
➢ A kickoff meeting with key city staff to review the GIS platform and key GIS initiatives. A
communication plan will also be discussed to determine how GIS support is requested along with
timely status reports. This meeting will also serve to foster the beginning of professional
relationships.
➢ GIS support tasks can be accomplished through a mix of onsite and offsite work. The exact nature
of as needed or scheduled hours can be determined during the kickoff meeting.
➢ To keep a consistent set of client knowledge and expertise, a single Infinity GIS staff will be
assigned as the primary technical support person. However, depending on the complexity of a
specific GIS task, different GIS staff with different skill levels might be assigned. This helps to
match hourly rates to corresponding tasks levels to keep a budget friendly approach to overall GIS
support.
➢ If the city desires, Infinity GIS can provide a simple GIS Assessment and Recommendations
effort aimed at providing a 2-year plan focusing initiatives on GIS datasets, GIS support
resources, and GIS technology/software platform.

infrastructure, etc.
