Public Works Sewer and Surface Water Capital Purchase
GraniteNet Asset Inspection and Decision Software
Allan Ekberg, Mayor
ISSUE
Committee approval of the purchase of capital equipment in accordance with City policy.
BACKGROUND
The City of Tukwila's purchasing policies require all unbudgeted capital equipment valued over
$5,000 be approved by Council Committee and the Mayor. We are currently using GraniteXP as our
sewer and surface water pipeline video inspection software, but updates and support for this version
of Granite are no longer available. GraniteNet is the latest software that will meet the needs of our
Sewer & Surface Water Maintenance Department.
ANALYSIS
GraniteNet offers flexibility, customization, and ease-of-use to our operators. With the installation of
a module from Lucity, Tukwila's new asset management program, we will be able to track
inspections, create work orders, and link videos directly to the specific asset on the GIS map.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost of the GraniteNet software is $8,939.00 and includes training for employees on the new
software and converting all existing GraniteXP data to GraniteNet. We currently have $192,000
balance in the GIS Inventory of the Sewer and Surface Water Projects, after our GIS consultant
contract with David Evans and the purchase of the Lucity Asset Management.
RECOMMENDATION
Committee approval to purchase GraniteNet Asset Inspection and Decision Support software for
$8,939.00 that will be used as our sewer and surface water pipeline video inspection software.

• Tasks can be assigned and managed throughout the system
The Premium ndUdes the followicomponents: GraniteNet Basic, Core Basic,Core
Advanced, Main Inspection Module, Analog Video Recording Module Mainline, Video Indexing Module,
Titling, Distance Acquisition, Still Image Capture Module, and Data Transfer.
GraniteNet Office Software License
Used primarily by engineers and supervisors, the Ofl9ce Edition allows CCTV inspection records to be edited
and changed upon subsequent review. This edition has the ausers to modify
inspections and observations gathered in the field, synchronize inspections, capture images from playback,
view mapped data, and import/export map data.
GraniteNet ESRI Interface Module
Developed by CUES as a registered business partner with ESRI, this optional module for GraniteNet allows
users to be able to nt and click on an asset from within the GraniteNet integrated map. After clicking
on the asset, the asset and inspection panes are automatically u|ated with the asset's attribute
information. The operator may initiate an inspection by simply selecting the asset on the map and right -
clicking. The GraniteNet ESRI Interface also provides the ability to create a new asset in the field. The
system is able to collect, store, display, manipulate and analyze data, and then link the information to the
ESRI ArcGIS map file. The software provides a chronological record of every inspection completed on the
asset.

GraniteNet ESRI Import Module
This optional module for GraniteNet provides a bi-directional interface betweenBRI ARCGIS 10.X and the
GraniteNet software. This module enables GIS features to bimported directly into GraniteNetwhere theycan be used to verify and validate the location of utility assets.
GraniteNet ESRI Import Re -Implementation
This implementation includes configuration, documentation, and training with the county's office staff by a
CUES software division GIS consultant in accordance with the unique business requirements of the City of
Tukwila. CUES will work with Operations personnel to define the goals and then define and document the
standard operating procedures.
GraniteNet H.264 Module
The CUES GraniteNet H.264 Module is an optional video capture codec that aliows for inspection video
capture in H.264 format. This results in significant video file size reduction. The H.264 coding format is
currently one of the most commonly used formats for the recording, compression, and distribution of video
content via the web. This patented format is capable of providing very good video quality at substantially
lower bit rates (less storage) than previous standards (i.e., half or less the bit rate of MPEG-2, H.263, or
MPEG -4 Part 2), without increasing the burden on a wide variety of networks and systems.
To stream video via the GraniteNet portal, the video format must be in the H.264 (.mp4) format. CUES
provides the necessary coding libraries and pays the royalties for each GraniteNet Inspection license which
is activated with the H.264 module.
GraniteNet Scheduler Module
The GraniteNet Scheduler Module allows users to schedule the transfer of CCTV data and media files to
perform database synchronization automatically. At specific times set by the administrator, usually each
day after working hours when the network is less burdened, the office can automatically import completed
inspections from the truck to the office and synchronize incomplete inspections from the office to the truck
to automate the transfer and archival of data on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule. On a daily basis,
Supervisors can get their completed inspections sent in and CCTV crews can come to work and find their
new, incomplete inspections waiting for them to get started out in the field. In addition to selecting
complete or incomplete inspections, users will be able to create scheduled transfer tasks with specific pre-
set filters to intelligently identify specific data
re'setM|tarstointe||igent|yidentifyspecificdata to be transferred such as "/nspections by" pipe type, operator,
severity, date range, etc. Users can also schedule to send the data to an alternative destination for backup,
third party review, regulatory requirement, etc. In a typical configuration, the service is activated and
started from a network -connected office machine which has GraniteNet and the GraniteNet Scheduler
Module installed on it. The service will sequentially poll each vehicle and perform the synchronization tasks
automatically.
The GraniteNet Scheduler can also automa e report generation and GIS da a import and export.

that data security is controlled by the city and not managed by CUES. If the server is securely exposed to
theintarnet, the GraniteNet Web Viewer portal can be configured to provide employees to the City'
GraniteNet data while outside the facility via the Internet (including through 3G/4G wireless connections).
Because the Portal's ASP.Net web application accesses the enterprise database, any GraniteNet licenses
intalled and used on the desktops can still continue to edit and update this data with all changes
