A Resolution authorizing the Director of Purchasing to purchase an Indoor Mapping Solution and associated work from Motivf Corporation, Alexandria, VA for a total award of $161,101.00 with a 10% contingency.

The Indoor Mapping Solution will allow the City to capture, store, and maintain data associated with buildings and assets in one central system for use by multiple City departments.
