8.A. - Page 8 of 72 Technology The replacement of the citywide finance and human resource management system continues to progress. This includes replacement of the utility billing, budgeting and planning, and business license and transient occupancy tax systems, as well as the procurement of a new performance measurement system. HdL, the business license and transient occupancy tax system, went live July 2019. OpenGov's budgeting and planning software went live January 2020. TruePoint's selected utility billing software is anticipated to go live June 2020. Oracle, the City's selected finance and human resource management system is anticipated to go live July 2020 for Finance functions and January 2021 for HR functions. IT staff continues maintaining and improving the City's technology infrastructure including increasing the City's access security and recoverability strategies given the exponential increase in ransomware and other nefarious attacks aimed at government systems at all levels. Other notable changes include an increase of the City's internet connection speed to accommodate the increase in cloud applications, the replacement of the virtual server infrastructure in the Police Department data center, an upgrade of the City's phone system, the implementation of OnBase, the City's new contract management system, and installing audio/visual equipment in all City Hall conference rooms. Transportation Progress has been made on multiple projects on Middlefield Road. The Middlefield Road/Woodside Road pedestrian improvements are complete and are being well used by the community. Construction on the utility undergrounding project is 95 percent complete. Utilities are expected to take roughly one year to move their lines underground. The streetscape project is also underway and will take another year. Design is progressing on the Highway 101/84 Interchange Project. Staff is focused on developing the funding plan and getting funding commitments for construction in order to start work on required right- of-way acquisition. Construction is complete on Safe Routes to School improvements at five elementary schools and around Kennedy Middle School. Improvements include bulb outs, medians, and a beacon system to increase safety for residents crossing Alameda de las Pulgas at Goodwin Avenue. Staff submitted applications for the US -101 Pedestrian Undercrossing Project to four regulatory agencies prior to July 1, 2016, and received all necessary approvals as of September 2018. The plans and specifications for the project were completed shortly after, and the project bid closed on January 30, 2019. Construction began in the spring of 2019 and is expected to be completed in late fall 2020. Water Construction for the California Water Tank is underway, which consists of constructing a new 750,000 gallon water tank. It is anticipated to be complete by spring 2022. Staff had a bid opening for the Peninsula Water Tank No. 2 project in July 2019, but had to seek City Council's approval to reject all bids in August due to all the bids coming in over budget for the project. The request was approved and the project has been rebid. Staff anticipates seeking City Council's approval to award construction of the project in spring 2020.
