STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This action supports Key Focus Area: Enhance Infrastructure and Mobility.
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
Denton Municipal Energy (DME) is implementing Aspentech's Advanced Distribution Management
System (ADMS) and ESRI’s new Utility Network model (UN), aimed at replacing the existing Outage
Management System (OMS) and ESRI’s existing Geometric Network model (GN) to achieve greater grid
resilience, real-time monitoring, and improved outage response capabilities. The project efforts have
expanded due to the correlating projects for the new OMS/ADMS and GIS.
This change order requests additional efforts by Power Engineers to provide added GIS Technician Support
for maintaining the existing and new network models while the new ADMS system is being deployed. It
also provides ongoing support for the UN through April 2026. It is crucial to have both GIS systems run
simultaneously to support the existing OMS and future ADMS network model.
This change order will fund the following 3 tasks:
• Task 17-GIS Technician Support expanded by adding two more technicians and extended through
April 2026: $360,000
• Task 18-Ongoing UN Support through April 2026: $86,000
• Task 0-replenishment of this PM task, for a minimal level of ongoing PM support: $39,000
• Total: $485,000
