What happened

Stockton entered a five-year Cityworks agreement in 2020.

The relationship later produced additional documented cost events: a contract extension, a server-upgrade evaluation and another extension.

What it cost

2020 — Original five-year agreement: $700,000

2025 — One-year extension: +$140,000

2025 — Server-upgrade evaluation: +$14,850

2026 — Additional one-year extension: +$141,200

Authorized contract total through March 2027: $996,050

What the amount covers

Cityworks supports substantial Public Works and Municipal Utilities operations.

The city's records describe more than 250 employees using the software and 145 mobile devices, with departments continuing to add workflows.

Operational responsibilities include infrastructure such as streets, signs, sidewalks, traffic signals, streetlights, fleet, facilities, water distribution, wastewater/stormwater collection, treatment systems, pipes, pumps and lift stations.

What it doesn’t tell us

$996,050 is not a general Cityworks price.

It should not be divided by Stockton's employee or device count to manufacture a per-user price.

It does not establish Stockton's complete organizational cost of owning and operating the CMMS.

Why it matters to a buyer

The original purchase doesn't necessarily define the long-term economics of the system.

Renewal, upgrades and changes to the operation can create later cost events.

Buyer question:

What events could cause us to spend more on this system during the next five years?
