Accela Civic Platform Technology Upgrade

The Accela Civic Platform Technology Upgrade project is a comprehensive land management technology upgrade for Pinellas County. The project aims to develop, maintain, and regulate a comprehensive and sustainable land use plan, which will serve to protect and enhance economic growth, land development, transportation impacts, property values, life safety, construction, and ordinance enforcement. The project will provide a central data repository, allowing customers to access parcel-specific information and obtain a wide range of project/permit/case history. The upgrade will also provide for the utilization and retention of electronic development and construction documents, reducing process time on development and construction plan review by up to 75%. The project is expected to provide significant savings to all stakeholders, both internal and external to the organization. • The project will be implemented in conjunction with Selectron's Relay software, a multi-channel, multi-agency platform that connects customers, constituents, and field workers to government agencies and utilities. • The project is expected to provide annual cost savings of approximately $1.4M in years two through five after go-live. • The total estimated project cost is not to exceed $2,501,801.31. • The project will be funded from reserves in the Building Services Budget and the Business Technology Services (BTS) Operating Budget.
