For more than a decade,CUES has supplied the industry with the most innovative and extensible software

flows unique to their organization. GraniteNet offers unmatched flexibility to create many different types of

software platform can meet the needs of the City of South Bend now or in the future as the requirements
evolve.

GraniteNet Web Portal
The GraniteN!et Web Viewer Portal allows approved users access to view inspection data, view video, see
productivity dashboards, run filtered reports and generate PDF reports from virtually any device via a
browser. The viewer portal relies on the iinfrastructure provided by its clients, including access, to the city's
existing GraniteNet database, in a self -hosted environment within the city, and behind the city's firewall so
that data security is controlled Iby the city and not managed by CUES. If the server is securely exposed to
the internet, the Gran,iteNet Web Viewer portal can be configured to provide employees access to the City's
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
initalled and used on the desktops can still continue to edit and update this data with all changes
immediately being available to the, web application's clients.
GraniteNet H.264 Module
The CUES GraniteNet H.264 Module is an optional video capture coldec that allows 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, HI.263, or
MPEG-4 Part 2), without increasing the Iburden 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.

We are submitting for review and approval for the licensing and implementation of GraniteNet Web
Portal, a softwaire add -on for GraniteNet, the software that is used by the Cities' two camera and
inspection trucks. The GraniteNet Web Viewer Portal allows users access to inspection data, video,
productivity dashboards, filtered reports and PDF reports from any device. This add -on was selected
based on the need of the Engineering department to have easy access to sewer inspection viideo.
This request includes unlimited licensing for the Web, Portal, as well as the GraniteNet H.264 Module.
The H.264 Module is a compression software that greatly reduces the size of the video while
maintaining high quality so that videos can be shared on imobile devices out in the, field.
Implementation services are also included for both these softwares. Both H.264 and the
implementation services are a one-time fee. A $2,500 maintenance, fee for GraniteNet Web Portal will
be applied after the first year and for each subsequent year that GraniteNet Web Portal is used.
The benefits of implanting GraniteNiet Web Portal include:
• Providing a single point of access for all users to get sewer video information
• Providing a simple interface that requires little to ino training to use
• Unlimited access to information from within the city network or a city maintained mobile device
• Greatly reduced file sizes that equates to (lower storage costs
• Quick access to information from the field during emergency situations
This implantation, includes two separate parts: One for the software licensing and one for the
professional services needed to help in the installation and configuration of the softwares.
Thank you,
