body
DEPARTMENT: Electric Utility
SUBMITTED BY: Brian Groth, Director of Electric Utility
BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
The Electric Utility (Utility) migrated to the geometric network-based ArcGIS/ArcFM 8.x geodatabase system in 2002 from various paper-based maps. Today, all Utility facility data is kept within this system, and it supports many department functions including outage restoration, utility locating, as well as engineering functions such as arc flash analysis and renewable resource modeling.
This existing software will reach end-of-life in 2028; therefore, the Utility needs to have data and integrations migrated to the new network model and software by the end of 2027.
In June 2024, the Naperville Electric Utility issued RFP 24-111, Utility Network Consultant, to solicit qualified consultants to devise a detailed master plan explaining how the current geometric network model can be migrated to the new utility network model, without loss of data.
The migration plan will include modeling changes and any required types of data updates/fixes, as well as a plan for updates to customizations and key business system integrations. Additionally, the consultant will be responsible for assisting the Utility in developing a projected budget amount for execution of the future migration project.
