1 CITY OF BOISE PURCHASING BRIEF TO: FROM: Mayor Bieter and Members of the City Council Finance and Administration and Information Technology Departments DATE: March 8, 2011 SUBJECT: RFP (B) GIS Enterprise/Application Development Services; Miscellaneous GIS Data Development Services BACKGROUND: The City of Boise Department of Information Technology (IT) solicited proposals to provide Miscellaneous GIS Services for Boise City. The contract will be administered by IT GIS for use by all City Departments. The solicitation requested proposals address three separate GIS services categories; GIS Data Development and Mapping Services, GIS Enterprise and Application Development Services, and Mobile GIS Application Development Services. Due to less than desirable scores on the Mobile GIS Award Category, a separate contract for that category will not be issued. Staff is requesting that a contract for GIS Data Development and related GIS Services be award by Council. The "Miscellaneous GIS Services" format has been used in the past, and continues to work well meeting the City's needs by providing quick access to professional services when sufficient City staff or expertise is not available, or for assistance during peak work load periods. Awarding the work to multiple firms will further provide the City with a broader base of expertise to choose from, and will allow the City to select a firm for each project that best matches the project requirements and timetables. BID RESULTS: The proposals were opened January 26, 2011 at 1:30 p.m. local time. Fourty six (46) companies received plan sets and were entered on the plan holders list.

38 January 26 th, 2011 City of Boise, Division of Purchasing 150 North Capitol Boulevard Boise, Idaho To Whom It May Concern: We appreciate the opportunity to respond to this RFP and we agree to hold our proposal valid for a minimum of 120 days subsequent to the RFP closing date. Resource Data, Inc. (RDI) has been providing as needed GIS services to Municipal Governments and other clients for over 24 years. Our staff of over 125 employees has completed hundreds of GIS projects ranging from map generation to integration of GIS with enterprise software. Although our company started in Alaska, where we currently have 4 offices, in 2006 we opened an office in Boise which now has about 10 employees. The Boise group includes a strong GIS team which is backed up by over 120 employees in our Alaska and Texas offices. RDI has long been recognized as a leader in GIS. We have traveled the world implementing GIS and mapping systems. Closer to home, we have been providing ArcGIS expertise to ESRI to help them support their municipal and other clients with software implementations. In fact, one of our Boise-based employees, Will Jensen, completed a major project in Redlands helping ESRI support their customers. RDI was also called upon by BP to provide GIS (ESRI software) expertise for the Gulf Spill. We are the lead vendor for all GIS software technical implementation and support roles. Our 24 years of GIS experience has been heavily focused on ESRI products. In addition we have completed many AutoCAD, Intergraph, MapInfo and other CAD/GIS software projects. Our project experience is nearly a perfect match for the typical projects and expertise outlined in the RFP. Boise 1476 Eagle Flight Way Boise, Idaho (208) (208) fax Anchorage 1205 E.

39 RDI Cover Letter We have worked closely with police, planning, purchasing, finance, budgeting, public works, IT, health and traffic engineering departments. Our project history also includes disciplines such as billing, permitting, and code enforcement. Additionally, we do extensive work for water, sewer and electric utilities. We have been an ESRI business partner for over 15 years. We are current on all their software, and are recognized by ESRI as experts in implementing and integrating their products. Although we routinely complete large systems, we are very capable of doing small ones as well. Our company is highly efficient due to extensive automation. With our focus on automated business systems and service delivery we can easily provide support in blocks of an hour or two. We have many clients that use us for overflow work. Some of these are local governments and some are our local competitors. One thing they all have in common - they have learned that RDI is a highly reliable source for high quality support on short notice. We look forward to supporting the City of Boise. We have strong local talent and you will thoroughly enjoy getting to know our staff and working with RDI. Sincerely, Resource Data, Inc.

41 RDI Background RDI BACKGROUND This year Resource Data, Inc. (RDI) will celebrate 25 years of delivering GIS solutions. Our consistent high-value service has resulted in clients ranging from the world s largest corporations to municipalities to sole proprietorships. The bulk of RDI s work is repeat business, which is the best evidence of our relentless pursuit of excellence. RDI s history of finishing projects to the complete satisfaction of our clients is a source of pride. Our objective has always been to provide maximum value to our clients through well-crafted solutions built by professionals at competitive rates. RDI is an employee-owned S Corporation. By providing key employees the opportunity to become owners, we are increasing the long-term stability of our company, which translates directly to increased benefits for our clients. Employee owners are far more likely to stay at RDI for long periods of time: they become very knowledgeable about the client s business and systems and realize that their best interest is always served by delivering the highest value to the client. The net result is RDI has very low turnover, virtually none at the senior level, and our clients build long-term trusting relationships with our staff. RDI is organized along geographic and functional lines (refer to the organizational chart below). We have a corporate group that provides core business services and support to the company. Each regional office is run by a Branch Manager. Although geographically diverse, all offices utilize a single set of business systems and service delivery processes. In addition, there is frequent communication between offices, and sharing of staff is prevalent. It is not uncommon for employees in the Anchorage office to work on Boise projects. RDI has experience on contracts similar to this one. For example, we hold a State of Alaska contract, in which we are ranked #1 for GIS services, where we fill positions and provide services on an as needed basis. The State of Washington has selected us for a similar role and in 2007 the City of Boise selected us for your GIS term contracts. We ve always been able to provide staff in a timely manner. We have the breadth of staff and experience to fill any GIS need in the five categories you have identified. Our project references will show our technological versatility, from staffing large GIS application development/implementation projects to smaller, specialized GIS-related projects. We are a financially stable, debt-free company. 1

42 RDI Background Figure 1. RDI Org Chart Within each branch office are Senior Project Managers and Technical GIS Leads, who answer directly to the Branch Manager, and manage a variety of GIS and IT staff including programmers, analysts, technicians, graphic designers and technical writers. These employees commonly work for multiple Project Managers simultaneously and often for different offices. Work assignments are dependent on individual skills and client requests. We have innovative web tools to track work assignments for all projects in all offices and these tools allow us to match individuals with client requests by skill set, technology and geographic region. The community fabric of RDI is promoted through online collaboration and team meetings. Every Wednesday key managers from all offices meet to review projects and personnel assignments. Monthly the company gathers for lunch meetings with a presentation on technology, interesting projects or company issues. Company picnics are held yearly, and our employees participate in multiple recreational sports teams and community activities. RDI expects excellence from its employees while also being a fun, active place to work with an atmosphere geared for success. The result is we are able to attract the best IT and GIS professionals, they tend to stay for a long time, and high quality work is our standard. 2

43 Project Manager and Key Staff PROJECT MANAGER AND KEY STAFF Chris Adam is our senior project manager for this contract. Chris also serves as our Boise Branch Manager and he has a successful record of managing multiple GIS projects and interdisciplinary teams as well as being highly technically competent with GIS technology. Chris has been leading technical teams and managing projects for over seven years and has more than ten years experience working on GIS projects, enterprise Web portals and deploying ESRI technology. In addition, he also has more than nine years experience managing and developing database projects using SQL Server, Oracle and other high-end database engines. Chris is also a Microsoft Certified Solution Developer (MCSD) and has more than seven years of project management and development experience in.net solutions. Chris is based in Boise with a strong team of ten highly qualified staff members; additionally, he has direct access to over a hundred other IT professionals from any one of RDI s four other branch offices. At RDI, branch managers routinely reach out to other offices to build project teams. We are adept at coordinating these efforts with our high speed networks, highly organized server architecture and efficient business processes. The bottom line is that not only would the City of Boise be getting a high-powered local project manager and local GIS experts but also one who can quickly assemble teams by utilizing the expertise from remote offices as well. We recognize that there is an ebb and flow to the work at the City of Boise and our business is structured to provide ultimate flexibility in meeting your needs. We are happy to provide people for a few hours a week or full-time. We do not require long-term or full-time commitments. In short, we are completely flexible in terms of how you engage us for work. Naturally we can always draw on our extensive staff for additional resources. Resumes for all key staff listed below are attached in Appendix A. The following are the project managers and key staff for this work. Support staff is discussed in the next section. 3

46 Support Staff and Equipment SUPPORT STAFF AND EQUIPMENT Our Boise office is well staffed with GIS expertise and equipment. However, there may be times when additional resources are required and they can draw on other RDI offices. It is common for offices to collaborate on project work. Currently, some Boise staff members are supporting Alaska and Houston based projects. Our offices are all networked together which allows us to assemble seamless project teams. The following table lists additional people within RDI that can easily complete Boise based projects or support the Boise team when needed.

51 Specific Relevant Project Experience SPECIFIC RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE RDI has over 24 years of broad-ranging GIS experience which fully encompasses the five disciplines in which the City of Boise is interested. While our chosen compilation of projects emphasizes some of our larger GIS projects, we also routinely provide services such as small map production and data manipulation work. For each area, we have summarized our experience in a brief introduction and then provided several relevant project descriptions. We have also included at least one project reference in each section. Municipal GIS System Solutions and Software Integration RDI has been working on municipal GIS systems for over 15 years. The works spans the gamut of municipal departments and functions including: Police Fire Electric Planning Health Permitting/Licensing Code enforcement Billing Mobile work force Sanitary Sewer/Wastewater Storm drain Public Works Engineering Finance Purchasing Traffic Water Property appraisal Likewise, the type of work is wide-ranging: GPS field data collection Data generation, map production, spatial analysis GIS database design GIS data input Analysis using geometric networks Integration using SQL Server and other enterprise databases Below are descriptions of several pertinent projects in this service area. The first three examples are from the local Boise area. Canyon County Sheriff s Office: Road Centerline Geodatabase RDI implemented a SQL-Server-based shared road centerline geodatabase at the Sheriff s Office in Canyon County, Idaho. The purpose of the project was to enable multiple stakeholders in disparate locations (city governments and the local highway 11

52 Specific Relevant Project Experience department) to have their own distributed copies of the Sheriff s road centerline geodataset, provide editing capabilities and synchronize the changes among the stakeholders. The solution RDI implemented uses ESRI s geodatabase replication technology delivered by ArcSDE in a Service Oriented Architecture built on top of ArcGIS Server. A parent geodatabase was created at the Sheriff s Office and child replicants were installed at the external stakeholders sites. A geoprocessing service was used to communicate changes over the Internet among the stakeholders child copies. The system allows them to edit the road centerline geodatabase via their child copies and to synchronize and reconcile changes from all of the participants copies in realtime so that everyone always has the most up-to-date copy of the road centerline geodataset. The system fixes traditional problems that arise from the coordination of multiple editors in a manual, disconnected editing environment. Issues such as cost and efficiency relating to resources, the potential for the introduction of errors during processing and the need for a foundation for sharing more data in the future were all resolved by the system RDI implemented. Reference: Forrest Smith ( ) City of Meridian: Easement Conversion Project RDI performed the conversion of 700+ easements from PDF legal description documents into digital form for use in the City of Meridian GIS. The process uses the ArcMap COGO toolset. Reference: Roxanne Holland ( x347) Canyon County Assessor s Office: Parcel Preparation for ArcSDE RDI prepared Canyon County parcel and related line data for a geodatabase implementation. The cleanup work involved spatial adjustment, removing gaps and overlaps, and removing duplicate parcels. Reference: Chad Lynch ( ) Municipality of Anchorage Traffic Project RDI is developing an enterprise, web-based, traffic safety data management application for the Municipality of Anchorage, Traffic Department. This is a multiphase project that includes web, GIS, and 3rd party vendor technologies. The system s accident module allows for capture and maintenance of current accident forms via a web interface. The report engine integrates with GIS layer and provides a navigable map for detailed, visual statistics. The Volume and Studies phase allows the capture, organization, and reporting of roadway volume 9

53 Specific Relevant Project Experience information. A multi-purpose document repository is also included. The Annual Report phase includes data verification, rate calculations, and statistical reports designed to support the annual report process. Finally, other features are included such as collision diagrams and integration with Anchorage Police Department and Alaska DOT accident reporting systems. RDI participated in the project from requirements to geodatabase design to web implementation and it stands as a premiere example of our work in the municipal GIS area. Reference: Kim Carpenter ( ) Anchorage Water and Wastewater Utility (AWWU): Geospatial Portal The GeoSpatial Portal project is an innovative GIS implemented to provide AWWU staff with a single system for easy access to utility and municipal information throughout the organization. The portal includes mapping data as well as numerous links into other related databases, such as building permits, septic tank/wells, utility assessments, capital projects, and customer data. Mapping includes features such as lines, hydrants, pipes, valves, land ownership, topography, hydrography and aerial photography. The project represents conversion from the traditional ESRI coverage data model into the new Oracle-based Geodatabase model. The Portal utilizes ESRI Geodatabase, ASP and.net technology to integrate GIS parcel and water-utility data with 14 external databases, many in other departments within the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA). This project was recognized by ESRI as a landmark accomplishment in Municipal systems integration and earned the Special Achievement in GIS award. The project also received official recognition for excellence by the Anchorage Assembly, the governing municipal body of Anchorage. Municipality of Anchorage Land Use Geodatabase Model RDI developed a unifying GIS data model for a Land Information System for the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA). (See full project description in subsequent section.) 10

54 Specific Relevant Project Experience GIS Programming We develop integrated IT/GIS systems. Our expertise in spatial & non-spatial databases, and application development, along with our unparalleled experience in project management has made RDI a leader in deploying fully integrated IT systems for over 20 years. Increasingly, GIS components utilize data in partnership with services from other non-gis databases. The line between corporate IT systems and GIS systems continues to blur as this integration progresses. Whether GIS is a primary component or a supporting piece of a larger system, accomplishing successful projects in these integrated environments requires a deliberate approach. We have experience will all the GIS Programming technology of interest to the City of Boise including:.net (both VB and C#) and XML Python and ArcObjects Java and Javascript Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and traditional Web Services Most of what we do involves Object Oriented analysis, design and development. RDI believes in building systems utilizing modular, service oriented architectures with loosely coupled components connected through Web/WCF services for easy maintenance and ultimate extensibility. Additionally, we have over 60 staff familiar with C#/VB.NET and over 50 knowledgeable in Java. Intermountain Gas Company: Silverlight Enterprise Web Portal RDI designed and developed an enterprise web-portal for viewing, searching and editing spatial data stored in an Oracle ArcSDE database. The site featured Silverlight 3.0 technology and advanced ESRI map caching for smooth movement and navigation through maps. A custom search feature was created to provide users quick, easy access to a large amount of customer and asset data. Additional features included advanced feature identification with integration into documents and a customer information system. The site was built around a service oriented enterprise bus architecture for easy addition of services and ultimate low-coupling between components and easy integration of disparate systems. The project utilized the following technologies: Oracle 10g SDE, ArcGIS Server 9.3.1, Silverlight 3, Microsoft.NET 3.5 (C#), and Python. Reference: Lance Elroy ( ) 11

55 Specific Relevant Project Experience Idaho Military Division: Enterprise Web Portal RDI is designing and building a geographically enabled project portal for the Idaho Military Division GIS team. The ESRI ArcGIS Server 10 Silverlight mapping application will be used to manage training field site information. The system will be fully integrated with SharePoint 2010 and allow users the ability to attach documents to geographic features and retrieve these documents through powerful attribute and content based document searching. Reference: Nicholas Nydegger ( ) Intermountain Gas Company: ArcGIS Server Cache Management System RDI designed and developed an automated ESRI Cache Management System that monitors and updates GIS data caches on a user-defined schedule. Included with the system was a Silverlight monitoring User Interface that allowed users to monitor, create, kill, analyze (run reports) and run new cache jobs. The project utilized the following technologies: Oracle 10g SDE, ArcGIS Server 9.3.1, Silverlight 3, Microsoft.NET 3.5 (C#), and Python. Reference: Lance Elroy ( ) US Department of Defense: Common Operation Picture RDI developed the GIS components of a web-based situational awareness application for the Department of Defense (DoD). The application is used to share spatial data and develop response scenarios supporting homeland security, hurricane prediction, disaster recovery, and global logistical support for combat operations. The mapping component provides a common picture of spatial data from numerous external sources. Users access the application over secure networks using a web browser. The GIS is required to display spatial data that is stored in standard GIS formats as well as flat data that has only text fields containing coordinate values. The external data sources include both Enterprise GIS as well as sources from a wide variety of non-gis systems. The external data can not be replicated by the application nor can it be cached by the web browser. Dynamic data created during analysis has to be presented in real time. The solution includes a Java servlet implementing an OGC compliant Web Map Service - Web Feature Service (WMS - WFS) as well as other required web services. The map service renders spatial analysis results from memory. The map service renders non-standard spatial data from remote sources on-the-fly. Map layers and functionality can be configured though an administrative user interface. Both spatial and non-spatial data sources are available on the network through a data mediator. Some of the sources include flat Oracle tables, x-y text files, XML and AXL feeds, and a wide range of other web services. The map service 12

56 Specific Relevant Project Experience also renders spatial data from disparate sources including ArcIMS, ArcSDE and even shape files. Mine Permitting GIS Since 2004, RDI has been the sole contractor for data management in support of a major mine permitting project. RDI maintains the production server for the project and performs system upgrades, software maintenance, file system and database backups. RDI developed programs that read files from GPS-enabled cameras used by field crews. These programs integrate with ArcGIS software and the GPS data for each image is geographically analyzed for its location within wetland areas, mine site plan areas and other GIS features. The resulting data is loaded directly into the project database. RDI designed and developed the enterprise database for the project after an extensive collection of business requirements, taking into account the numerous contractors supporting the environmental studies of the proposed mine site. This database now supports field data entry into customized field forms for numerous disciplines such as wetlands, hydrology, habitat and others. The database accommodates sampling locations, monitoring device readings, observations, photographs and other data elements. Special programs have been developed for bulk uploading and downloading of scientific data. This supports the independent analysis of the environmental data by contractors. RDI applied a standard three-tiered software development method including development, test and production. This method has allowed constant improvement and enhancements, while maintaining a consistent production system. The design is built on an object-oriented framework supporting code reuse for efficiency. Land Records Edit / Land Records Map Application In order to maintain land record mapping for the State of Alaska, the Department of Natural Resources implemented an ESRI ArcGIS 9.1 enterprise geodatabase. To improve the processing time for their cartographers, DNR enlisted RDI to create a custom application to assist in the map editing process, maintain the status of land plats, and facilitate the entire workflow from the initial request for a map change to editing and final quality control. This complex application consists of approximately ten compiled dlls which interact with each other as well as ArcSDE, the Oracle database, and other legacy applications. The Land Record application is written largely in VB 6.0, making extensive use of ArcObjects, ADO, and SQL within its framework. Some peripheral standalone tools have been developed in VB.Net. 13

57 Specific Relevant Project Experience Some of the most specialized features of the map application and editing system are: Automatic configuration of Public Land Survey System aliquot part (township, section, quarter section, etc.) maps based on a common template. Simple generation and symbolization of new map types (water estate, land estate, etc.) for a given aliquot part. Many enhancements to existing ArcGIS editing tools and building new tools. Automated annotation that can be easily and accurately generated moved or copied between different map scales and State Plane projections. Automatic generation of features based on an aliquot part specification. Maintenance within the workflow of all incoming map requests and their respective map types and map scales. A quality control system that allows the user to approve and finalize the changes in the geodatabase or return the map to its original cartographer for further editing. Automated PDF generation for eventual web publishing. Software Oil & Gas Lease Data Loader For a large, multi-national oil company, RDI managed and implemented all phases of a project to streamline the management and display of spatial and attribute leasing information. The project included a classic IT project methodology consisting of problem analysis, project and systems designs and application development, testing and implementation. The final application merged internal proprietary lease information with data gathered from external public data sources. All data is normalized in an enterprise database then transferred out to five separate technologies for use in a large variety of departments throughout the client organization. Distributed data includes both spatial information and lease attributes. The technologies applied included ArcGIS, ArcSDE, ArcObjects, and.net. Numerous technical challenges associated with quality assurance of data from a variety of disparate sources were overcome. As you can see in the previous sections, RDI has experience with all the software listed in the RFP. This includes some of the legacy tools (such as Arc/INFO Workstation, Librarian, ArcStorm, MapObjects) as well as the latest tools such as ArcInfo, ArcObjects and ArcSDE. Furthermore, the majority of RDI projects involve ESRI the GIS industry standard. Recognizing the importance of ESRI to GIS, RDI is a long term ESRI Business Partner with a well established network of ESRI relationships and contacts throughout the organization. 14

58 Specific Relevant Project Experience While we have experience with many spatial data software providers and data formats, our typical client is ESRI-based and the typical solutions they require involve ESRI products in some way. Drawing from the dominance and effectiveness of ESRI technology, RDI equips our Programmers, Analysts and Technicians, with the best ESRI software to accomplish their daily work. Below we have included several projects which underscore our experience in this area. Utility GIS Expertise The Anchorage Water and Wastewater Utility (AWWU) has engaged RDI to provide GIS support using ESRI software. AWWU uses ArcSDE with their enterprise database. The utility is currently using the desktop client, ArcCatalog, ArcToolbox, ArcIMS, ArcPublisher, ArcReader, ArcObjects, and ArcPad. Work for the utility includes geodatabase design and development, custom ArcObjects development, design, development, and maintenance of a highly customized ArcIMS site, ArcSDE support and development, and the development, deployment, and maintenance of a laptop deployable electronic map using ArcReader that is integrated with a custom web application for service order maintenance. Reference: Everett Clary ( ) ESRI ArcServer and ArcGIS technical Support ESRI contracted RDI for two GIS experts (Will Jensen and Ben Sizemore) to work onsite at ESRI headquarters as part of the Server Support Team. The RDI team provided phone support and expertise to clients world wide. Responsibilities included working through customer support requests and troubleshooting ArcIMS and ArcGIS Server related questions. Also setup and configured both ArcIMS, ArcGIS Server and ArcSDE. Supported ArcIMS installations, including many non-standard installations. BP Spill Response Effort RDI was selected to be the lead GIS vendor to manage and support corporate, federal government and private contractors working on the Gulf Oil spill. RDI was tasked with three main areas of responsibility: on site staffing for mapping, data processing and display; development of GIS tools for the management, display and integration of data; management of all other GIS staff from other agencies, contractors and vendors. RDI developed dashboard tools for management views of GIS along with innovative tools to manipulate and analyze data, map production, and 24 hour staffing of the response center. 15

59 Specific Relevant Project Experience Oil & Gas GIS Systems Development This international oil & gas company with a large presence in Alaska utilizes ESRI technology throughout their organization. Since February 2005, RDI has been retained to provide GIS support, working to upgrade and extend their systems and to maximize the benefits of GIS technology to the client. RDI has designed, developed, managed, maintained, and improved their ESRI based GIS systems working on all facets. Work has been done from backend ArcSDE databases to custom ArcObjects applications, from ArcIMS configuration and user training and support, to ArcPad development, training, and support. In addition RDI provides ongoing cartographic services, training, analytical consulting, and project management for specific GIS users, projects, and departments; all based on ESRI software and data structures. Global Positioning System RDI has experience building systems and using off-the-shelf GPS equipment to accurately collect field data and integrate it with enterprise systems including AutoCAD, geodatabases and other environments. We have included three representative projects to underscore our experience in this area. Enstar GPS Data Collection A local natural gas utility needed a mobile GIS solution to support their field corrosion program. RDI started with a requirements analysis followed by hardware/software evaluation with the client, and then a pilot project. The successful system provided dramatic improvements over the manual process. The system and tools are now in production with RDI providing support as needed. The field tools leveraged ESRI technology and innovative programming by RDI. The result was a efficient field tool that allowed technicians to rapidly assess each site, collect data and move on. Nightly downloads provided the data for analysis and follow up work. Reference: Tom Arminski ( ) GPS Data Stormwater Structure Data Collection RDI located and recorded GPS coordinates for stormwater facilities. Verified accuracy of recorded data, post-processed data against existing GPS base stations and submitted final results to client in map and database form. We collected and arranged digital photographs of facilities to ease future ability of relocation. The project also included creating generalized instructions for configuring GPS equipment to record data with sub-meter accuracy. The instructions were written to 16

60 Specific Relevant Project Experience be equipment independent and were successfully tested using client equipment to verify sub-meter accuracy. Reference: Angela Parsons ( ) Utility GPS Pilot Project RDI analyzed current facility mapping and data tracking for the Anchorage Water and Wastewater Utility (AWWU) GPS Pilot Project. We established test objectives and standards and recommended a specific plan to test using GPS receiver technology interfaced with an RDI-developed software application to locate and map AWWU facilities and ancillary data. We researched and selected GPS receivers, a hand-held rugged laptop and directed a RDI team in creation of a navigation application. We facilitated AWWU pilot project team planning, established test area parameters, instructed and directed field survey crews in original data retrieval, and retested for accuracy of collected coordinates. The mobile software system was developed in MS Windows using Visual Basic, ESRI MapObjects, and Greenleaf COM as the GPS protocol interface. Collected data was comprised of ESRI shape files. We reported findings and conclusions, and made a final presentation to the Municipal Manager and enterprisewide management. Enterprise Database and Geodatabase Data Modeling RDI designs, develops and supports enterprise GIS, typically based on a Geodatabase model. Services include developing specialized databases, as well as custom GIS desktop, web, and mobile applications. We have years of experience in high-level GIS activities such as Geodatabase modeling, design of geometric networks and data transformations. RDI uses VISIO and PowerDesigner CASE tools to import Unified Markup Language (UML) models into ArcGIS to generate schemas for Geodatabases to be implemented over SQL Server and Oracle. We also leverage advanced featureclass behaviors such as geometric networks, relationship classes and object class extensions to model real world infrastructures, dynamically link spatial and non-spatial data and enforce complex validation rules. As efforts on each of these platforms progresses our clients realize the productivity of integrated GIS systems. Accomplishing successful projects in this environment requires a systematic approach beginning with a comprehensive corporate data model. Nearly all the major projects discussed in previous sections include Geodatabase modeling. Below we ve outlined three more projects where we built an enterprise Geodatabase data model. 17

61 Specific Relevant Project Experience Anchorage Water and Wastewater (AWWU) Geodatabase Model RDI developed the enterprise Geodatabase model for The Anchorage Water and Wastewater Utility (AWWU). The system included a versioned Geodatabase with ArcSDE. As part of the project we evaluated the relative benefits of Oracle Spatial vs. ArcSDE by testing both environments and recommended the appropriate technology for implementation by AWWU. We developed a data model for the Geodatabase implementation to minimize redundant data storage between various databases. Traditional GIS storage precluded easy sharing of data so many attributes were entered into both the Work Management System and the GIS system. One goal of the upgrade to Geodatabase was to minimize the redundant data entry. The work included developing a phased upgrade plan for converting from coverages to the final Geodatabase, including data cleanup. Reference: Everett Clary ( ) Denali - the Alaska Gas Pipeline Enterprise Geodatabase Model There is a major effort underway in Alaska to analyze the construction of a large diameter natural gas pipeline from Prudhoe Bay Alaska to Alberta Canada approximately 2000 Miles. The analysis requires construction of a huge GIS and the private consortium in charge selected RDI to develop the Geodatabase model, populate it with data, and operate the system. The Geodatabase is a large and complicated system as it must account for a vast array of data. Some of the features included: base map data, topography, land ownership, vegetation, soils, slopes, land cover, habitat, animals, archaeology, sensitive areas, parks, large volumes of engineering data including bore holes, seismic and finally logistics data to calculate costs. The project spanned multiple years and the Geodatabase was used to drive cost models for construction, route analysis, logistic planning and permitting. In addition to the database, RDI produced vast quantities of maps, data products and many GIS tools for on line access and viewing. Municipality of Anchorage Land Use Geodatabase Model RDI developed a unifying GIS data model for a Land Information System for the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA). We utilized geodatabase technology and created a data model to support all GIS and CAMA users. The system was to be implemented in SQL Server. We reviewed the needs and data of all major land information system users in the MOA and developed the database and data loaders. The geodatabase model included core MOA GIS and land data and allowed for integration of data from a MOA tax assessments database. RDI also tested the feasibility of integrating other MOA department data utilizing DB2 and the RDIdesigned data model. 18

62 Ability to Provide Responsive Services ABILITY TO PROVIDE RESPONSIVE SERVICES RDI has been optimized to provide as needed support to clients. This is our sole business focus. As a result we are very willing to provide any level of service requested from an hour to thousands of hours. Typically, our staff works on multiple projects and adjust their daily work plans as needed. At RDI we have developed tools and business processes to support our business model of just in time services. Our tools are all web based and used by everyone in the company. Certain parts are accessible by clients. We are always able to respond rapidly for big or small projects. When the Gulf Oil Spill occurred RDI was called upon to respond with 14 GIS experts located in Louisiana in a short time period. We answered the call and the client was so impressed they soon transitioned full responsibility for the GIS operations to RDI. This included managing other contractors as well as federal personnel. We performed a similar rapid response when a large multinational consortium needed a GIS team onsite to begin work on a huge natural gas pipeline study. For the City of Boise we don t anticipate needing this scale of response. However, if needed we can do it. To meet your needs we have identified two highly qualified, local resources who can serve as project managers for your work. They are Chris Adam (GIS Project Manager) and Will Jensen (Sr. GIS Programmer/Analyst). Chris will be your primary contact and may pull Will in to manage specific projects, if needed. Both Chris and Will will be available to work directly with you in your office. You will have and direct phone contact. Once the project is started we will also give you web access to our business system so you can track all hours on every project you have assigned us. No need to wait until an invoice arrives to find out the spend rate on a project. We can also offer you online task assignment and/or project issue tracking. We have web based systems for assigning tasks, tracking issues and managing projects. To manage our over 125 employees in 5 offices we use several tools and processes. The primary system is our proprietary Workload Manager application. Every employee is entered in the system along with all actual, planned, potential and possible work commitments. At a glance we can easily see who has capacity. We plan on corporate staffing to always have some extra cycles available. Because most of our work is short engagements on short notice, we have found the most efficient model is to always have some spare capacity. Every week the regional managers meet and review every employee in the company for availability and work commitments. At this time adjustments can be made and problems resolved. Although our regional managers are geographically diverse, conference calling, web cams, Skype, Net Meeting and other collaboration technology is used to put everyone in a single electronic room. The method works well. 19

63 Ability to Provide Responsive Services It is very common for people to work on projects from other regions. In fact we encourage it. As a result, Boise projects will be managed by local staff but may be completed by either local GIS staff or staff from another office. It will all depend on the nature of the work and timing of the project. 20

95 Woolpert has been working with us for over five years. They deliver high quality solutions that make my life easier. Their assistance to our GIS program has been first-class. Woolpert is a GIS partner that I can depend on. Jos Bell, GIS Coordinator, Central Arkansas Water Geographic Information Systems/ Information Technology Woolpert provides GIS and IT services to utilities, local governments, and institutions throughout the U.S. and around the world. Our vision of GIS/IT goes far beyond automated mapping rather, we want to make information systems part of the way our clients do business. Just some of the services GIS offers are listed below: GIS/IT Strategic Planning. Woolpert uses a proven process for developing implementation plans. First, we visit your site to identify ways GIS and information systems can help. This usually begins by documenting and evaluating existing conditions. Then, we conduct a needs assessment we identify any GIS/IT-related needs. Next, we design a set of step-by-step recommendations. Finally, it s time to implement the plan. Data Development. Woolpert routinely translates data to and from various GIS environments, including from ESRI, Bentley, Intergraph, Autodesk, MapInfo, and more, as well as a wide variety of database systems, such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and Access. This process involves both graphic and nongraphic data. These conversions are done for two main reasons: 1. To enable the use of existing GIS data in a different GIS environment 2. To convert existing data between coordinate systems and datums One reason that Woolpert is so proficient with data conversion is that we do it every day. Through many years of data conversion experience, we have identified the most efficient tools for various aspects of the conversion process. For example, photogrammetric data may be captured using Kork software and then translated into MicroStation or ArcInfo for conversion of existing source documents. Our process separates the features into the proper files, layers, or coverages and correctly codes them, based on the database design. Application Design/Development and Systems Integration. In today s GIS environments, data is typically stored in a relational database management system (RDBMS), such as Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server. Woolpert is also proficient with the emerging GIS geo-relational object environments, such as ESRI s geodatabase which stores both graphic and nongraphic data in a single relational database. Today s GIS software has certainly become increasingly easier to use. Whenever possible, Woolpert uses commercial-offthe-shelf (COTS) products and existing programming code and techniques that we have developed to minimize efforts and costs. But even so, many clients find that they want specialized applications developed. These applications can step a staff member through complex processes and, while doing so, can ensure the consistency and reliability of the results. The applications can also eliminate the need for long-term, costly software training, because they focus on just the tools that are needed for a particular task. Woolpert has in-house application development staff to design and develop customized applications to meet the specific needs identified during the needs assessment phase of the project. Maintenance and Support. Let s say that you ve gone to the trouble and expense of deploying a new GIS. You ve loaded it with more complete and more reliable data. You ve built a user-friendly way to deploy it throughout your user community. You ve chosen hardware, software, and networking carefully. And you ve built user skills and positive public awareness. But you haven t established GIS/IT processes for maintaining the data, the hardware and software, and the practical applications the GIS can provide. What happens? Within a few years, confidence in the data has evaporated, the hardware and software are out of date, the network can t keep up with GIS demands, and the users are clamoring for capabilities they don t have. The way to prevent this horror is the proactive maintenance plan and the leadership and dedication to carry it out. Woolpert has extensive experience in integrating various airport/city systems in an enterprise GIS environment such as ESRI SDE/Oracle Geodatabase, Property Management, Document Management, Cable Management, SAP, Webportals, aerial photos, facilities management, maintenance management, master planning, property management, utility management, Miscellaneous GIS Services City of Boise January 26,

With countless ESRI projects and several former ESRI employees as part of the Woolpert technical team, Woolpert has more GIS experience than any other consultant and will bring this extensive knowledge base to the City of Scottsdale s project. Client Satisfaction Ensuring our clients complete satisfaction with our service offerings has always been a high Woolpert priority. As a part of standard project closeout procedure, Woolpert provides clients with a questionnaire for gauging satisfaction with the firm s performance. Analysis of the forms, combined with post-project interviews, helps the firm determine its strengths and identify areas for improvement. Woolpert We Help Put It All Together Woolpert can help. We have organized our business to meet your needs and assist you every step of the way from planning and system design, through engineering design, to working with you to provide the information and data you require to get the job done efficiently. Our multidisciplinary capabilities and resources include experienced professionals and the latest in technology to provide a one-stop source for GIS design, data collection and management, IT systems implementation, Planning, GPS Inventories, programming, digital mapping, engineering design, and infrastructure management. Woolpert has placed an emphasis on developing its expertise to assist local governments with the management and design of their GIS/IT systems. Our goal is to provide a single unified force to help local governments to plan, fund, design, and manage these systems in the most creative and cost-effective way possible. Municipal GIS System Solution and Software Integration Woolpert is uniquely qualified to assist the City in implementing GIS applications and data platforms, custom development tasks, and system design and integration. This section will describe why that is the case, and how working with Woolpert will benefit the City. Our experience includes working to integrate GIS with; fire department applications such as the Honolulu Online System for Emergency Services (HOSES); permitting applications such as MyIndy for the City of Indianapolis; agricultural applications such as land application mapping for the Metropolitan Wastewater Reclamation of Denver; utility billing systems such as HTE or financial systems like Peoplesoft, Oracle, or Lawson; permitting applications like Accela, Hansen, or Govern; and document management with asset management systems and GIS for St. Johns County in Florida. We are confident that our experience can be leveraged to help you integrate GIS with your business driven applications. Below is a brief outline of the experience we bring to municipal GIS system integration. Unparalleled ESRI Expertise Woolpert s entire proposed team has a deep understanding of ESRI software. Our team knows the strengths and pitfalls of integration with the ArcGIS platform, including ArcSDE, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server because we have done it for other clients. Woolpert has been a leading integrator of the ArcGIS Server platform for many large high-profile clients Miscellaneous GIS Services City of Boise January 26,

97 such as the Marion County/City of Indianapolis 311, and MyIndy.gov applications. Full Lifecycle Including Database Administration Because Woolpert is involved in all stages of the GIS and IT implementation lifecycle, we know what works and what does not. This is particularly relevant where data is concerned because of subsequent system integration issues. We have a dedicated team of database administrators who focus specifically on SQL Server/ArcSDE development and administration, migration, and geodatabase design. We have done numerous logical and physical geodatabase designs for clients like Marion County/City of Indianapolis (ArcSDE); Mercer Island, WA (SQL Server/ArcSDE); Lakehaven Utilities District, WA (SQK Server/ArcSDE); Nashville Metro Water Services (ArcSDE); City of Scottsdale, AZ (SQL Server/ArcSDE); Town of Taos, NM (SQL Server/ArcSDE); and Phoenix Sky Harbor airport (ArcSDE). In fact, one of our senior consultants was instrumental in the first ESRI Water & Wastewater Geodatabase Model, and Woolpert has been requested by ESRI to lead the design effort for the development of a wastewater treatment plant geodatabase. Woolpert also excels in the administration process; we have developed many multi-user, versioned-based workflows to maximize data maintenance and integrity. Additionally, we have developed our own productivity tools and procedures on top of the ArcGIS platform to ensure fast, accurate, and high quality end products to ensure accurate data conversions. Experience with the City s Systems The Woolpert project team is familiar with other key systems in use at the City. As part of the GIS Strategic Plan for the Bellingham, WA, Public Works Department, Woolpert was required to review the existing CityIQ intranet application and Project Tracker applications. We have in depth knowledge of Tidemark. A good case in point is the City of Indianapolis/Marion County. Here Woolpert consultants implemented an industry first: an ArcGIS Server-based centralized addressing system that included automated triggers so that a new permit in Tidemark automatically shows up in the GIS and is displayed on the City web page. This should give the City a level of comfort that Woolpert has extensive ESRI experience. We also provide systems integration and will recommend what we think is (a) the best fit for the City s business processes, and (b) the best technical solution. We are not selling a one-size-fits-all product. We are providing our expertise. GIS/IT Strategic Planning Maintenance & Support Data Development Systems Integration Application Development Strong Development Team The City has identified a need to provide support with ArcGIS Server. Woolpert has done this along with developing extensive desktop data maintenance and analysis tools. Woolpert is skilled at software development and successfully utilizes an Agile ICONIX-based approach to software development. Many of our clients benefit from our experience at crafting map-centric Web applications that are specific to their particular business Miscellaneous GIS Services City of Boise January 26,

98 processes. We do this by adhering to an agile development approach that we will mentor the City staff in; this approach is used on projects from $10,000 to $8.5M so we know it works well. Our focus is to have just enough process in development to ensure a successful result. Another key distinguisher for Woolpert is our assurance that the City will have excellent source code, well documented, and rigorously tested. Your staff should be able to open up the source code for anything that Woolpert wrote and quickly start to make changes and additions. This approach has worked well with our clients like the Honolulu Board of Water Supply and avoids the need for the City to contact a vendor every time a small change is required. Staff and Client Training Woolpert staff have been provided industry leading training from ESRI. Additionally, many members of our staff have attained Certified ESRI Instructor status so that we may efficiently pass along the knowledge we have to our clients. Each tool or application we develop will also have associated documentation for both end users and administrators. This documentation will take the form of a user s guide and administrator s guide. User s guides will focus on how to use the application using scenario based examples. Administrator s guides will focus administering and maintaining each application or tool. Our strategic business partnerships with software companies such as ESRI, Infor (Datastream), CityWorks, Trimble, and others enable our staff to have unparalleled access to vendor specific training programs that we in turn pass along to our clients. The bottom line is this: Woolpert is committed to a partnering approach. Our success is inextricably linked to the successful support of an enterprise GIS at the City of Boise. We know that a lot of change is coming in the form of new applications and redesigned data platforms. Woolpert consultants have helped many clients through these transitions, managed the change, and coached our clients towards excellent integrated GISs. We believe that this focus on sharing knowledge while also learning from your unique experience is what sets Woolpert apart GIS Programming Woolpert developers are experienced with the entire ESRI product line including ArcObjects, ArcGIS Engine, and are versed in a number of development platforms including VB, VB.NET, C#. NET, ArcXML, XML, Javascript, Java,.ASP, and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) web services to name a few. Following is a description of the modified Agile ICONIX approach that Woolpert utilizes in the software development process. Woolpert Software Development Methodology The Woolpert Software Development Methodology was adopted to ensure that our intentions meet the needs and expectations of our clients. This methodology modeled after the Agile ICONIX process adopted by several software vendors (including both Microsoft and ESRI) is an effective approach that provides sufficient planning and documentation to meet the City s needs, but will provide the flexibility necessary to successfully and quickly complete software design and development tasks. Essentially this process works to develop just enough planning and documentation to maximize the efficiency of development efforts while being flexible enough to provide agility and ability to respond to frequently changing client requirements. The goal is to remove a practical amount of ambiguity before coding begins but not introduce so much rigidity of process to make it difficult to respond to evolving requirements. In essence, this process seeks to operate in the sweet spot shown below. Miscellaneous GIS Services City of Boise January 26,

99 Specification (SRS) The Software Requirements Specification (SRS) serves to determine and document the what and the why : What is going to be developed in this application or interface? What are the requirements from the users? In essence, this process can be reduced down to a single sentence: Root out ambiguity from the requirements and then do a clean design. This is accomplished through the following: Joint Application Design and Development (JADD) Sessions These sessions, through end-user participation, will define the user requirements for each application. As interim releases (or prototypes) are developed, JADD sessions will also serve as a venue for soliciting end-user feedback on work in progress. Design application or tool design will result in one document - the Software Requirements Specification (SRS). The SRS will document what the requirements are for each application or interface and how those requirements will be met through the development process. Development software development is not just the simple act of sitting down and coding. Effective software development involves the definition of standard policies and procedures for source code development, source control, peer reviews and frequent automated builds. The policies and procedures for software development practices are discussed in further detail within this section. Testing - Software is written by imperfect human beings who make mistakes. These mistakes manifest themselves in the software as faults; it is the role of software testing to identify these faults before the system is released to end users. There are several phases and types of testing and each is discussed in further detail within this section. Why certain requirements and not others? Why does requirement A have a higher priority than requirement B? The three items discussed below are used to accomplish these objectives and serve as the primary sections of the SRS document. Requirements The requirements list is just that a list of requirements that the application or tool should meet when complete. Each requirement should have a unique identifier for cross referencing purposes and should have a priority. The priority is used to determine which requirements are need to have versus those requirements that are nice to have. The following table illustrates an example of a requirements list. ID Priority Description 1 High ArcGIS Server 9.2 and Visual Studio 2005 (utilizing VB.Net) will be used to create the web portal application. 2 High User will have the ability to change the map extent by zooming into a more detailed view of the geospatial data. 3 High User will have the ability to change the visibility of layers within the map via a table of contents (turn layers on/off). 4 Medium User will have the ability to re-center the map extents by clicking or dragging the currently displayed map. Design Software Requirements Miscellaneous GIS Services City of Boise January 26,

100 The purpose of documenting and prioritizing requirements is to create a comprehensive list of requirements that must be met to have finished an application or interface. In essence, marking each requirement as complete is an indicator to the project team when a task is finished. Many times, more requirements will be identified than can be completed within the given project or task schedule and budget. Working with the client to prioritize requirements will help determine/justify which requirements can be feasibly met within scope, schedule and budget of the task. seen that the Modify User Account Info use case is also dependent upon the Login use case. Use Cases A use case is a sequence of actions that an actor (typically represented as a user) performs within a system to achieve a particular goal. A use case will describe an aspect or behavior of an application or interface without presuming any specific design or implementation (such as language, platform, database, etc.). A use case should be a short, succinct statement of a user s interaction with the system to achieve a specific goal nothing more. Use cases will be documented in two methods. The first is a verbal representation of a use case typically documented within a table format as seen below. This method identifies the specific use case and describes a basic (or primary) and alternate flow of events. A rule of thumb is to limit use cases to no more than two paragraphs. If a use case requires more than this, it is likely representative of more than one use case. Notice that the above use case example does not concern itself with triggers, pre-conditions, postconditions, etc. that are normally found within use cases developed as part of a CMM-type (Capability Maturity Model) software development process. This is a key differentiator in the Agile ICONIX process. Use cases are often confused with requirements. It should be noted that a use case is NOT a requirement and a requirement is NOT a use case. A use case can address one or more requirements and a requirement might be addressed by one or more use cases. The result of completing use case diagramming for an application or interface is that all required system functionality is described in detail. Domain Models The domain model is a preliminary guess at the static model (class diagrams). The domain model is a tool that is used to develop a common vocabulary between all participants developers, analysts and the client and is developed following the creation of initial requirements and use cases. The goal of the domain model is to ensure that when communicating about an application or interface, the project team uses consistent terminology. In example, a User logs into the system, a maintenance history is requested from the SAPGateway, document metadata is retrieved from EAS via the EASGateway, etc. Following is an example domain model. Notice that it is very high level and does not contain the detailed methods and properties that a class diagram would contain. These will be determined later on in the process however defining these objects now, at a high level, will assist the project team in working from the same page. The second method, shown below, is a UML use case diagram. This version of the use case documents the interaction and dependencies between several different individual use cases. For example, in the use case diagram below, it can be Miscellaneous GIS Services City of Boise January 26,

101 required by the application as defined via the use case and robustness modeling exercises. Entity-Relationship Modeling Static Structure (Class) Modeling The purpose of all the previous steps and modeling efforts is to reach the point of defining the concrete objects that will be utilized within the application or interface: the static structure (or class) model. The class model expands the domain model (documented in the Software Requirements Specification) by adding any additional objects identified through robustness and sequence diagramming and adding properties and methods also discovered through those processes. Because these methods have been examined through use cases and robustness diagrams, the developer has a better understanding of the functions they need to perform and the messages they need to return. Once the class diagram is created, it can be used to automatically stub out or generate the initial code for each class and development can begin. This ensures a tight coupling between design and development. Following is an example static structure (or class) diagram. Most applications will have objects and associated functionality that are driven from content within an enterprise relational database. This will be documented within an Entity-Relationship (ER) diagram. These diagrams document the individual tables, columns, data types and primary-foreign key relationships between them within the database. Following is an example ER diagram. The purpose of the ER diagram is to document the physical structure of the underlying database between an application or interface. Developing ER diagrams has two primary benefits. First, for existing databases, documenting the structure will serve as confirmation of the objects designed in the class diagram. For example, it is important that if a developer defines a property within a class as a string data type, then the data being read from and written to the underlying database should also be a string data type. Second, for new databases and tables, the SQL scripts for creating the physical database can be automatically generated from the ER diagram. This saves significant development time and reduces opportunities for error. Development Notice that in the above example, the objects initially defined in the domain model have been expanded to include properties and methods Development standards, when appropriately defined, trained and enforced, can significantly reduce the cost of software development for organizations with many developers. At a minimum there is a purely economic rationale to justify them: standards can make code easier to maintain and can improve the readability of code across all projects in an organization, both of which make development cheaper. Miscellaneous GIS Services City of Boise January 26,

102 Development standards also help to homogenize code. Subtle inconsistencies can creep into source code written by many authors. When working with code written to an accepted standard, developers feel right at home, rather than being tempted to re-work all the code they touch to more fully align it with their personal tastes. Simply put, the standards facilitate the concept of source code as a public asset, not a personal one. This, too, ultimately has a positive impact on the bottom line cost of development. The consistency provided by standards yields less tangible benefits as well, though perhaps no less important. For example, code that follows standards typically has fewer bugs and the bugs that do exist are easier to find and fix. So in effect, having standards can help improve the quality of the code as well. Does this mean that code written up to a coding standard is bug-free? Of course not, but the consistency can make bugs easier to spot along the way developers are more likely to find the bugs themselves while they are coding. The sooner a bug is found, the cheaper it is to fix. Woolpert has developed a comprehensive set of coding standards that involve policies for things such as use of white space, tabs and indenting, commenting, naming conventions, file organization, peer reviews, source code control and version management, and change control processes. The City has also identified development standards in these areas. Woolpert will work with the City to combine our internal standards and practices with City defined standards and practices and will adhere to these throughout all application and tool development. Testing Testing is an integral part of any software development effort. Software is written by imperfect human beings who make mistakes. These mistakes manifest themselves in the software as faults - it is the role of software testing to identify these faults before the system is released to end users. It has been shown that the sooner a defect is found and fixed the less it costs to remove it. Organizations that do not test, or only test in late phases of the development life cycle, spend a significant percentage of development budgets on rework. Effective testing started early in the software development life cycle will result in significantly reduced development costs. Each application or tool developed must follow strict testing guidelines. Internally, each application or interface must pass three distinct levels of software development testing prior to being released for site acceptance testing to the City. These levels of testing are: Unit testing Functional testing Performance (Load) testing Application/tool requirements, features and functions will change over the course of development. Woolpert is employing an Agile development methodology for all software development tasks which will involve numerous prototype releases. A prototype may not be released for review unless all three levels of testing have been passed. In addition, as new features or functions are added as the application or interface moves toward completion, all previous tests (that are still valid based on adapting system requirements and design specifications) must be re-run and passed (also known as regression testing) prior to any interim or final releases. All test harnesses and test results will be provided to the City for each application or tool. Documentation and Training Each tool or application will also have associated documentation for both end users and administrators. This documentation will take the form of a user s guide and administrator s guide. User s guides will focus on how to use the application using scenario based examples. Administrator s guides will focus on administering and maintaining each application or tool. Woolpert will also provide training on each application and tool. Woolpert has included a certified ArcGIS trainer on the project team who is also well versed in developing customized training curriculums and conducting training for custom applications and tools on top of the ESRI and Autodesk product lines.

103 Woolpert has been working with us for over five years. They deliver high quality solutions that make my life easier. Their assistance to our GIS program has been firstclass. Woolpert is a GIS partner that I can depend on. Jos Bell, GIS Coordinator, Central Arkansas Water Key Assumptions All software development tasks will be completed with ESRI ArcGIS 9.3 or higher and Visual Studio 2008 or higher utilizing Visual Basic.Net as the development language. Software The City of Boise has proposed a need to supplement their existing staff with those who can provide technical expertise in the following areas: AutoCad ArcGIS including ArcINFO, ArcEditor and ArcView ArcSDE ArcGIS Server Enterprise SQL Server and SQL Server Enterprise Geodatabase Visual Studio 2005 and higher MS Visio Following is a brief description of our expertise in supporting the City s needs in these areas. AutoCad Woolpert is extremely experienced with using AutoCad. Our design engineers use AutoCad to create engineering drawings for our clients every day. Additionally, we understand how to migrate AutoCad data to GIS. Woolpert has been performing data conversion for 32+ years, and our capabilities converting AutoCAD and other electronic plans to Geodatabase include: Developing custom conversion processes and plans based on unique client existing conditions of data quality Verifying and correct snapping, topology, electronic sheet edges, missing or inconsistent attributes, and poor symbols and annotation. Developing custom tools for data loading and conversion Developing and using custom QA/QC tool for data verification and quality Woolpert has extensive experience converting AutoCAD and other types of electronic plans to geodatabases. We begin our conversion projects by eliminating ambiguity by detailing conversion specifications into a data conversion plan. For the City of Ft. Lauderdale, Woolpert converted AutoCAD data to a geodatabase. Some of challenges involved in the project were multiple delivery phases, multiple GDB design iterations and very limited QA/QC tools within ArcCatalog. Woolpert developed a custom batch loader to the City s database and used automated tools to check the quality of the data. Central Arkansas Water (CAW) selected Woolpert and Nobel Systems for data conversion that included a significant AutoCAD conversion. As the data was converted, it was available through a website designed and hosted by Woolpert. This data included AutoCAD data of two vintages for the North Little Rock area. Woolpert provided the geodatabase design, conversion management, quality assurance, and application services. For Phase II, Woolpert performed an inventory of the GIS applications and business processes in use by CAW. This involved using process modeling techniques, such as IDEF0, UML, and use case analysis. The result of the inventory was a software requirement specification with budget recommendations for converting the existing CAW environment. At the completion of the project, they had combined their water systems, CAW verified GIS data, and centrally coordinated maintenance management. Woolpert is still working with this client. Following the completion of the conversion services, CAW hired Woolpert back to implement Cityworks. ArcGIS Woolpert was one of the original ESRI business partners, and as such we have been using and working with the product line almost since its beginning. We have been asked to be a beta test for ESRI products for multiple releases and we are experts in customizing ESRI products to meet our client s business needs. We utilize the entire suite of ArcGIS products available on the market. Woolpert has three service lines dedicated to providing geospatial services. We define geospatial services as mapping-related consulting as it pertains to data that is locationally aware. This includes: Digital aerial photography, LiDAR, and remote sensing services provided by our PRS (photogrammetry/remote sensing) group GPS data collection services provided by our Miscellaneous GIS Services City of Boise January 26,

104 SV (survey) service line one of the largest in the United States Digital mapping, data conversion, data modeling, and GIS services provided by our EIM (Enterprise Information Management) group. Together, these three service lines make Woolpert the largest, most comprehensive provider of geospatial services in the country. And we are proud to have provided, and continue to provide, all of these services for the City of Boise. ArcSDE There are two levels of database capability within Woolpert: developers and system analysts. All Woolpert developers are required to be knowledgeable about at least one relational database. For most of them that is SQL Server, for some that is Oracle, for others they are equally at home with both and still others such as SQLite, Access, and PostgreSQL. System analysts typically are experts in a single database and have a certification from Microsoft or Oracle. Regardless of the degree of knowledge all Woolpert technical staff know how to design a normalized relational database and how to efficiently store and retrieve information from said database. This includes writing SQL SELECT statements, stored procedures, views, triggers, and other platformspecific constructs such as packages in Oracle and SSIS routines for SQL Server. We employ sound design principles while creating new schemas and objects, and are just as scrupulous when modifying an existing structure. For example, rather than just placing some SQL queries in an ArcSDE schema in SQL Server we would always place them at least in a different schema and potentially in their own database with limited user access. This minimizes the surface that could be exposed to accidental or malicious damage to the ArcSDE (or any other) database structure or content. Furthermore, Woolpert developers and system analysts keep track of the changes they make in scripts so that every change applied can be executed with absolute certainty on production system, and also rolled back. Finally, we work extensively with the ArcGIS Server ArcSDE schema from within ArcObjects and geodatabase-aware clients as well as from the SQL side. For system integration we consider the SQL API to ArcSDE for Oracle and PostgreSQL to be a superior approach, and anticipate the SQL Server 2008 support to ensure consistency across the ESRI database providers. ArcGIS Server and Service-Oriented Architectures Woolpert is providing industry leading support for the implementation of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) based on the ArcGIS Server platform. For the City of Indianapolis/Marion County Woolpert has led the implementation of a 311 system to help City/County staff better respond to over 300,000 customer calls a year. Using Siebel s Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, one ArcGIS Server, 2 ArcSDE running Oracle data servers (and accessing a total of 6 Oracle databases operating with the SAN), and two ArcGIS Server application servers, Woolpert crafted a system that efficiently verifies a caller s address (using SOAP/XML web services on an ArcGIS Server) and quickly displays customer information, if multiple services calls have already been placed near the location in question. This generally allows the City to more efficiently utilize existing resources and minimize redundancy. As mentioned above, Woolpert utilized an ICONIX Agile-based approach to software development combined with an in-depth understanding of ArcGIS Server,.NET frameworks, and ArcSDE to develop and deploy these applications for the City. Our project team is currently using ArcGIS Server to either migrate existing ArcIMS applications or deploy new applications for the following clients: Denver Metro Wastewater Reclamation District Land Advisors SkyHarbor International Airport GIS Implementation Aviation Department, City of Phoenix, Arizona Arizona High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area City of Indianapolis and Marion County City of Boise Miami Dade Public Schools Miami Dade Water and Sewer City of Philadelphia St. Louis Metropolitan District Many others A large percentage of all Woolpert software development projects involve building and Miscellaneous GIS Services City of Boise January 26,

105 deploying customized software that works on ArcGIS Server. Our preferred language runtime is the Microsoft.NET Framework using VB.NET and C#. JavaScript, REST, and Virtual Earth API Dojo ExtJS ESRI JavaScript API Virtual Earth JavaScript API jquery OpenLayers More than the individual frameworks themselves it is the adoption of REST as an architectural approach that has truly improved the performance of our client solutions. Almost all recent web based applications created by Woolpert have employed REST endpoints for data access where the additional complexity of SOAP Web services could be avoided. Our system architects have seen quite dramatic performance boosts from this approach because it leverages the caching and simplicity of the underlying HTTP protocol. We will bring this knowledge to City of Boise. XML and Web Services Whenever a system design is being considered for clients our first question is usually: How can this be best presented as a series of services? Web services and the associated XML-based message format are the de facto standard in most organizations for creating a loosely coupled architecture, and the City is no exception. Woolpert has a high degree of JavaScript proficiency among our development staff, second only to our.net experience. We have fully embraced JavaScript as a serious language for serious line of business applications that must be stable and have high performance. For clients like the City of Bellingham, Washington, Woolpert has created modularized object oriented application frameworks. Not only are we rigorous in our application of software design patterns and principles, but we firmly believe in the reuse of good quality JavaScript code. For the Bellingham CityIQ application we created a RESTful application framework to handle multiple user modules like permitting and project management. Future modules such as a citizen access component can rapidly be developed and deployed in to CityIQ precisely because are committed to structure the underlying JavaScript application according to solid design principles. Rather than reinvent, Woolpert developers also make good use of existing language and application frameworks from both the open source and vendor communities. Within the last two years our projects have incorporated the following JavaScript frameworks and products: Woolpert has built a large number of Web services over the years and has used the evolving Microsoft technologies to do so. Our internal peer review process and developer network leads to rapid sharing of best practices that our clients benefit from (e.g., avoid the use of.net DataSets as a Web service message format). Our web services tend to be used within broader business processes and workflows. In the case of spatial operations like find the location of this address or create a GIS data point for this work order our clients can use Woolpert web services in an orchestrated workflow or enterprise service bus (ESB) product like Oracle Fusion, or use them as a simple backend to a button click in a web application like My Neighborhood. Either way Woolpert creates service based architectures that work across vendor boundaries, language boundaries (like ensuring Java clients can consume services), and platform boundaries an ESRI Flex application running on Firefox on a Mac can still find that address via a web service! Miscellaneous GIS Services City of Boise January 26,

106 Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Workflow Foundation (WF) Almost every single.net project that Woolpert performs includes either or both of these core.net Framework 3.x technologies. WCF has truly transformed that way that we can approach distributed system design and implementation. One recent project involved field editors collecting building conditions on tablet PCs using a simple Windows Forms application. When the time came to send the day s work to the central database, WCF hosted in IIS was the mechanism used to secure, compress, and ship the data package to the central server. A second WCF service hosted in a Windows service then performed data validation and synchronization to the main database and automatically shipped fresh updates to client using another WCF service. Woolpert developers appreciate and embrace the ideals of the WCF s programming model and complex but flexible configuration system, and have built a number of elegant and cost saving applications for our clients using WCF as the cornerstone. The City of Boise will also benefit from Woolpert s strong emphasis on the testability of WCF services. Unlike their predecessors (ASMX), WCF services are simply.net classes that implement an interface. We use this fact to unit test and load test our services all through development: this is a novel approach that ensures a quality product can be delivered at any stage of development, not just immediately prior to deployment. Workflow Foundation is less widespread than WCF, but for clients that have not implemented a full enterprise service bus (ESB) product like Oracle Fusion or NServiceBus it is a natural fit for orchestrating and hosting business processes. Woolpert s premier example of WF is the Automated Mapping Service (AMS) which uses many of the individual web services that we have written to do a variety of spatial and nonspatial operations. By understanding the internal execution model of the WF host process Woolpert can perform operations in parallel for maximum throughput and performance. We have created an entire management application to monitor the health of the WF services and it can report numbers like 150,000 requests served with only six errors in production (some can be handled in the monitoring application). Woolpert looks forward to doing a lot more work with WF in the future, particularly as the tool improves at the next.net Framework release. SQL Server Woolpert has staff that can support the city with MS SQL 2005 and higher. A majority of current clients are either working with 2005 or the 2008 version and, therefore, we support and work with the latest versions. Our expertise has been developed not just through classroom training and theory, but also through practical experience assisting our clients with the development of their enterprise GIS programs. While we put a more heavy emphasis on practical expertise, we also recognize the value of ongoing training and certifications for our project teams. Our staff maintains a wide range of industry certifications including where we can provide additional support: Geographic Information Systems Professional (GISP) Microsoft Certified Professionals (MSP) Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) Microsoft Certified Solutions Architect (MCSA) Microsoft Certified Database Administrator (MCDBA) Oracle Certified Associate (OCA) Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) Oracle Certified Database Administrator (OCDBA) In addition, Woolpert project teams also have the ability to utilize our internal IT resources should the need arise. Our own internal IT support team (Technology Support) maintains several of the certifications identified above as well as: Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) A representative example of Woolpert s ability to bring this expertise to bear for a client is the Federal Protective Services Incident Response Information System (IRIS). This project included the development and deployment of an Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) solution and ArcGIS Server application for incident management for the Federal Protective Services at the Denver Federal Center in Colorado. The project required setup of a secure, commercial grade Wi-Fi and cellular solution (including all supporting hardware and software) within the Department of Homeland Security network for in-vehicle data access to enhance officers ability to manage and respond to law enforcement incidents. The City should rest assured that Woolpert has both Miscellaneous GIS Services City of Boise January 26,

107 the practical and certified expertise necessary to address any technical issues that should arise during the further development and expansion of the City s GIS goals. Visual Studio and.net Woolpert predominately uses Visual Studio and VB.NET to build applications for our clients and integrate them with other external systems. Regarding integrations, our preferred integration tool is Microsoft.NET Framework (called simply.net [ dot net ] for the remainder of this section) and ESRI s ArcGIS Server with underlying Oracle and SQL Server databases. Visual Studio allows our developers to practice good object-oriented practices while leveraging the entire Microsoft stack of software including Window Communication Foundation and Windows Presentation Foundation. We have also found.net provides the optimal framework to accomplish complex integrations. An example of the power of this framework is its ability to use Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) web services. Unlike their predecessors in the Microsoft stack, WCF services are simply.net classes that implement an interface. The business values is that Woolpert can unit test and load test our services all through development not just once all the code is compiled and ready for deployment. This ensures that the City of Boise will receive a higher quality end product that has been tested during the entire lifecycle of development a grid system to divide the City into delivery areas. Woolpert proposes that a mutually agreed upon delivery grid and naming convention be developed based on geography and desired data delivery schedule. Our experience has taught us that by breaking large project areas down to a manageable delivery grid, the City can be assured that preliminary and final data deliveries can be made on a consistent basis. This approach will also minimize the opportunity for sporadic deliveries and shorten the City of Boise s review cycle significantly. Data Preparation As part of the data preparation, Woolpert and the City will gather relevant basemap information and other necessary source documents and digital files from the City for Woolpert s use throughout the project. In addition, the existing planimetric mapping data showing the existing fire hydrants and water valves, etc. will be needed for planning purposes, navigating in the field and QA/QC processes. Woolpert feels that this is one of the crucial steps that affect the overall integrity of the project. With sufficient amount of source maps or drawing files, the field crews can properly investigate the necessary areas where the utility lines exist. The City will provide location and size of the waterline. Microsoft Visio At Woolpert, we use Visio for many different types of deliverables for our clients including: Database designs System architecture diagrams Software architecture diagrams As-Is and To-Be business process workflows Visio is a standard software application that is provided for each analyst, technician and project manager at Woolpert. Global Positioning Systems Prior to the start of a GPS-based data collection effort, Woolpert will work with the City to create a work plan that includes a data dictionary and data collection accuracy requirements (sub-meter, RTK, etc.). If one does not already exist, we will develop Overall Field Procedures A quick breakdown of the field process is described below. It is further explained in the following paragraphs. Step One: Woolpert will perform data preparations for implementation of GPS equipment, define feature library (with input from the City), and identification of the existing City of Boise Geodetic Control Network (depending on required accuracy). Miscellaneous GIS Services City of Boise January 26,

108 Step Two: Equipped with an appropriate Trimble data collection (sub-meter, RTK, etc.) GPS system, field crews will collect feature locations, then store the coordinate information and attributes into the digital database. All features will be collected/ inventoried via means of GPS location. Step Three: Each completed area will be submitted to the Woolpert GIS group for additional QA/QC processes and final input into the required data format for delivery (ESRI geodatabase, shapefile, etc.) Step Four: Once the Woolpert Project Manager approves each data set, the final deliverables are loaded to the City of Boise project website for download, review and approval. Field Data Collection Woolpert has developed a unique data collection process that uses sophisticated in house software. Pen-Based PC These applications allows Woolpert GPS crews to collect X, Y locations for both water and sewer utility systems, while using a scanned image of the schematic maps as a backdrop. Woolpert will scan, warp, and georeference the scale schematic maps to fit parcel maps. This will provide an accurate base map that can be used to visually check the accuracy of the GPS data points during field collection. The scanned maps can be loaded on the survey crew s pentop computers to act as a visual reference and guide to where structures are supposed to be located. This provides an excellent reference for the survey crews, and reduces the chance of missing structures in the field. Additionally, all GPS points are stored this eliminates the need to convert the GPS collected data into an ESRI data format. That data will serve as a backdrop for the field crews, helping to orient them and helping them to locate structures. So as crew members walk throughout an area, they will actually be able to view their positions on the map displayed by the PC. The table below provides a comparison of Woolpert s approach against traditional collection methods. Capability Collect X,Y Position Processing done in the field Collect Utility Attributes Built in Pick Lists Build Utility Network in the field Record Condition Analysis ESRI shapefile format Traditional GPS Recorder Woolpert s Approach Advantage No post processing required, resulting in fewer errors Enables field inventory Provides built in QA/QC Ensures the utility network is exactly as it appears in the field Allows for the recording of a condition analysis No conversion required During the field collection portion of the task, the infrastructure and the network will be surveyed using a single technological solution: Woolpert field collection application integrated with Trimble s GPS technology. Our software has been used successfully on several municipal utility projects. This application will accomplish two goals: It will complete the utility networks, even where source documents don t reflect such assets, and it will do so more efficiently. Here are some of the advantages of this approach: Because accurate connectivity is built in the field, there is no need to post process GPS data or reenter (digitize) drainage features into the GIS. Building connectivity in the field is easier and faster because questions can be answered on the spot. A conditions assessment can be performed simultaneously with the structure inventory. Woolpert can easily customize our software to include a list of condition assessments. Miscellaneous GIS Services City of Boise January 26,

109 This approach facilitates the important step of quality assurance/quality control (QA/ QC) in the field, right when the attribute data is collected. We have the ability to customized attribute forms and include domain pick lists. As an option for assets that might require rehabilitation in this way, the team can provide a photographic record. Field crews take digital photos of the infrastructure while GPS and attribute data collection are taking place. These pictures can be streamed to the Internet, along with other collected data. the GPS data collected is within acceptable tolerances. The control stations used will be part of, or tied to, the existing City Geodetic Network to ensure consistency between the RTK survey points with the City s existing information. These checks will compare the computed coordinates of the control points generated by the RTK to the published control surveys Enterprise Database and Geodatabase Modeling Enterprise Database and Geodatabase Data Modeling This tool also allows Woolpert GPS crews to collect engineering data, and map connectivity of multiple utility systems while in the field. This tool can be used to provide real-time analysis of utility data such as material, diameter, and invert depths at upstream and downstream nodes. Woolpert can deliver the final data in any format that your organization requires coverage, geodatabases, or a supporting format. We can also deliver the data so that it supports a CMMS data structure. Quality Control Plan Throughout the field inventory process, Woolpert will perform QA/QC checks of fieldwork. This QA/ QC will ensure that the City is receiving quality inventory. Some of these task elements include the following: Independent field control checks and evaluations of collected GPS data to ensure integrity of positional data. Utilize ESRI applications to identify outliers and duplicate orphan elements. Perform visual checks to the existing base utility data. Periodic meetings with field and office personnel to discuss data collection issues. At the end of each observation day, inventory data will be downloaded from the field computers and analyzed each observation day, whereby inferior points will be scheduled for re-observation. Redundant points will be checked to ensure that overlap areas are compared geographically. Survey crews will occupy at least one registered ground control benchmark at the beginning and end of each observation day to ensure that Because Woolpert is involved in all stages of the GIS and IT implementation lifecycle, we know what works and what does not. This is particularly relevant where data is concerned because of subsequent system integration issues. We have a dedicated team of database administrators who focus specifically on SQL Server/ArcSDE development and administration, migration, and geodatabase design. We have done numerous logical and physical geodatabase designs for clients like Marion County/City of Indianapolis (ArcSDE); Town of Taos, NM (SQL Server/ArcSDE); Lakehaven Utilities District, WA (SQL Server/ ArcSDE); Nashville Metro Water Services (SDE); City of Scottsdale, AZ (SQL Server/ArcSDE); and Phoenix Sky Harbor airport (ArcSDE). In fact, one of our senior consultants was instrumental in the first ESRI Water & Wastewater Geodatabase Model. Woolpert also excels in the administration process; we have developed many multi user versioned based workflows to maximize data maintenance and integrity. Additionally we have developed our own productivity tools and procedures on top of the ArcGIS platform to ensure fast, accurate and high quality end products to ensure accurate data conversions. Geodatabase Design The industry standard data format for enterprise Miscellaneous GIS Services City of Boise January 26,

110 ESRI solutions is the geodatabase. Woolpert will provide database design for the City as requested using the following format. During a series of meetings or workshops Woolpert data specialists will work with City staff through the geodatabase design process. Issues to be covered include logical design, versioning support, topology, performance considerations, flexibility, and completeness. Our experience is that no amount of pre-production design anticipates all eventual uses of the data, but we can get 95% of the way there to avoid major changes and minimize the number of small changes once in production. Topics covered will include: model is supported by the eventual production environment, e.g., ArcSDE 9.3 or 10 using a SQL Server 2008 backend. The final design will be delivered electronically via the project website along with detailed instructions on how to create the enterprise geodatabase using the ESRI CASE import tools. Domain values Domain tables Data types Default values Annotation Data Sources Key data tables Feature description Related attributes Attribute descriptions Data relationship Using the information gathered at the design workshop, our experience on other geodatabase design projects, and knowledge of the ESRI environment, we will create a series of Visio drawings using the unified modeling language (UML) and/or use other available tools such as ArcDiagrammer and GDB XRAY. Each feature dataset will be created on a separate sheet in the same drawing file, and tests will be run to ensure that the UML can successfully create a working geodatabase in an ArcSDE instance. Woolpert and the City will agree upon the version of Visio to be used throughout this process, and the draft design will be posted to the project website for download and review by City staff. It may also be accompanied by a Word document listing issues discovered during the draft design phase. Once the City has reviewed and made comments on the UML diagrams, the City project manager will collect and post all comments in a single Word document and post it on the project website. During this period, the Woolpert team of consultants will be available for meetings to discuss changes or issues. The Woolpert team will then incorporate the changes, and make additional suggestions or recommendations as necessary. Finalizing the geodatabase design is a crucial stage and care will be taken to ensure that the logical design of the data Miscellaneous GIS Services City of Boise January 26,

113 woolpert ABILITY TO PROVIDE RESPONSIVE SERVICE Dedication If selected for this project, Woolpert will meet with the City of Boise to set project schedules with identifiable milestones, required communication protocols, and documented work plans to ensure on-time and on-budget deliverables. An important benefit that we provide our clients is the ability to respond promptly to urgent needs. Even during peak production, we maintain a cushion of staff hours and equipment time. This flexibility consistently enables us to provide City of Boise with the experience, knowledge, and technology your project requires. The main reason that we can set and meet demanding schedules is our dedicated staff. We understand that staff development is an investment in the whole firm s future, and we re proud to say that our greatest assets are the abilities of our managers, technicians, and production personnel. We hire the best staff available, and we balance ongoing training opportunities with our client workload. Our well-trained staff is equipped to meet even unexpected project needs that may arise. For a closer look at the team we ve assembled for the City of Boise s project, please see detailed resumes in the Appendix. For details on the equipment we propose to use for this project, please see Section 2. A hallmark of any Woolpert project is open and honest communication with our clients. Our approach is to ensure that our intentions meet our clients expectations. With that in mind, following is our approach to meeting project deadlines and ensuring both Woolpert and City staff clearly understand project expectations and deliverables. Project Management Effective project management starts at the beginning of each project and is built into every step. With our proactive project management approach, you will have a single point of contact that ensures that your project is completed on time and within budget. The Woolpert project and task managers with more than 700 support staff are the key to each project s success. They carefully plan the production of your deliverables to ensure that they are right the first time. Our project managers understand that clients need to trust that we are doing the best job possible for and with them. We are proud of the organizational ability, flexibility, and integrity of our project managers. These are attributes that ensure a successful outcome to this project. Mr. David Feuer, PMP has been designated as the Project Manager. However, Woolpert employs a team approach to project management. and Mr. Kirk McClurkin, GISP, a principal in the firm and the Project Director, has been designated as Principal in Charge. This team is well versed in all aspects of GIS Services and will work closely with City staff to ensure this project s success. They will provide practical technical leadership and will ensure that the best resources are available to execute the City s vision for this project. A detailed project resume for Mr. Feuer and Mr. McClurkin and all members of the Woolpert team is included in the Appendix of this response. For effective project management, we apply these seven actions: 1. Plan the project 2. Establish project budgets 3. Set the schedule 4. Determine and acquire needed resources 5. Monitor budgets and schedules 6. Monitor tasks to ensure quality control 7. Establish project communications Miscellaneous GIS Services City of Boise, Idaho January 26,

114 Our role is not to simply build or support GIS requests, but rather to communicate our knowledge to City staff so that they gain a deeper understanding of the issues related to growing an integrated enterprise GIS. Our goal is to provide long term support as the GIS program matures, while at the same time providing the education and training to enable our clients to maintain their enterprise GIS internally. Collaboration via communication is the cornerstone or our partnering approach. The key to the success of any project is communication, either within the project team or between Woolpert and the client. For this reason, Woolpert uses a wide variety of communication techniques. To begin, we create a dedicated, secure project website that we will design specifically for the City of Boise GIS Projects. As a standard, that website lists Woolpert contact information, new events, a current calendar of scheduled events, an up-to-date Gantt chart showing the project schedule and percent completion by task, a document management section, a data repository and a message board. Both Woolpert participants and city staff can access this secure, passwordprotected Internet site, and we will provide this to the City of Boise free of charge. But, our project communication isn t limited to just the website. We use a host of other methods that have been proven through many projects: telephone and faxes; ; FTP site; NetMeeting; On-site visits; Meetings and Status reports. The Woolpert project manger will ensure that: All communication is documented, including memos, telephone records, and status reports. Perhaps most important are action items. Action items are key tasks that come from meetings that need to be completed to ensure a successful project. Action items have three key elements - the name of the task, the person responsible for completing the task, and the date that task must be completed. This helps to keep the project on track by identifying potential problems and their resolution before they impact schedules and budgets. We ask the right questions, document decisions, and then provide recommendations. Woolpert consultants know how to listen, think, and then deliver. They use their experience to effectively communicate recommendations into streamlined solutions. The City will also benefit from the custom project management and accounting system that Woolpert uses: Deltek. At any point in time we can run a wide variety of reports showing status, budget, and resources assigned to your project. Our customized version of Microsoft Project (Phaser) is also linked to this system so that our percentage complete values from Project actually drive the invoicing process we are firm believers in transparency when it comes to billing. Kickoff Meeting Any project will begin with an executive level presentation by the Woolpert Project Manager and technical staff to review project understanding, objectives, and administrative criteria (status reporting, conflict resolution, etc). During the project kickoff meeting the City Project Manager will describe the goals of the project, then Woolpert will describe the project plan and approach, along with expected results from each phase. A number of case studies may be presented to demonstrate these results so that attendees, whether executive level or otherwise, can see what the end goal will mean for them. Prior to a meeting the Woolpert team will meet with the City project manager and key project staff to discuss project expectations and goals. Monthly Status Reports/Meetings Every month (at minimum) the Woolpert project manager will attend provide project status reports and attend, upon request, on-site status meetings with the City project manager and other key staff to discuss outstanding issues and generally make himself available for ad hoc meetings. Woolpert considers such face to face contact to be a valuable connection point during which a wide variety of issues can be covered efficiently in a one day period. General Project Management and Quality Control In addition to the aforementioned tasks, the Woolpert Project Manager will also be responsible for quality control and general project management. These tasks are a significant portion of the overall project management task for good reason; this is where the organization, flexibility and integrity of Woolpert project managers is applied to ensure successful outcomes for subprojects and the overall effort. By keeping close tabs on emerging issues (budget, schedule, Woolpert resources, City resources, etc) and taking action on them early, the Miscellaneous GIS Services City of Boise, Idaho January 26,

115 project runs smoothly. Hiccups are an inevitable part of any large GIS implementation, but it is the vigilance of the project manager that keeps things on track. Please refer to the Technical Approach section of this proposal for more information about our specific approach to project manager, particularly Action Items. This task also includes overall project activities like maintaining the secure project website and monthly administration associated with invoicing. Woolpert Organization With more than 750 professional and technical personnel, Woolpert has the capacity to perform simultaneous projects and complete the City of Boise project on schedule and within budget.
