AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
DEPARTMENT: Procurement & Compliance
DCM: David Gaines
DATE: April 5, 2022
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Origami Risk, LLC, for risk management and safety
software (RMIS) for the Risk Management and Safety divisions; providing for the expenditure of funds
therefor; and providing an effective date (RFP 7700 – awarded to Origami Risk, LLC, for three (3) years,
with the option for two (2) additional one (1) year extensions, in the total five (5) year not-to-exceed amount
of $460,650.00).
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
A risk management and safety information system (RMIS) is a software application designed to manage
commercial risk (e.g., safety incidents, claims, insurance policies) and provide the ability to efficiently
track, report, manage, and mitigate safety incidents, claims, and insurance policies, forecast losses, and
identify trends. Because the risk management and safety functions are intertwined and share much of the
same data, all of these components, together, allow the City to identify patterns in risks and respond faster
to keep our employees safe and protect assets.
The incumbent software application, Clear Risk, has been in place since 2014; the current contract expires
on January 9, 2022. With the impending expiration of the current contract, the risk management and safety
teams evaluated the current and future needs of the organization. The incumbent system does not provide,
among other things, the functionality to support the safety program, user-friendly claims management, or
the level of accurate reporting needed across the organization. In addition, if the department were to
continue with the incumbent system, extensive customization would be required to meet the divisions’
demands that would be both time and cost-prohibitive, and would still not provide the level of functionality
needed.
Due to the growth of the City and organization and the development of a City-wide safety program, the
decision was made to go to the market to identify and replace the current system with a full RMIS that will
provide functionality for both risk management and the safety divisions.
The evaluation team and stakeholders in police, water/wastewater, safety, and human resources participated
in demonstrations of four (4) RMIS systems. Based upon this evaluation, Intelex Technologies, Inc was
ranked highest. From August into early November of 2021, purchasing, the department, and legal staff worked
with Intelex Technologies staff but could not come to contract terms that both parties would accept. The decision
was then made to move forward with the second Vendor Origami Inc.

Origami’s RMIS provides the needed functionality for risk management and safety, robust reporting
capabilities, and includes a mobile application for the reporting of claims and safety incidents that is user-
friendly to the City’s field teams.
