through CSU, Chico that bring valuable resources, knowledge and perspective to projects throughout the region.

The GIC can provide the City of Carmel with the following GIS services in addition to potential tasks listed in RFQ:
Asset inventory and management
Parcel, zoning, General Plan land use and web mapping, maintenance and updates
Emergency services support - crime mapping, map books, infield asset mapping, road address ranges, etc.
Soil survey and vegetation surveying and mapping
Infrastructure management and data maintenance - road networks, parcel realignment, topology validation,
geocoding, relational database error corrections, standardized schemas and data management practices, etc.
Web map interface - database query, display, download, lookup, editing and print functionality, etc.
Model development and data creation, migration and management
Enterprise database development
GPS and ArcPad base training and development for field reconnaissance
ARC GIS mobile mapping applications - deployment, training and management
Tool development (e.g., python scripts)

Approach, Methods, Outcomes:

The GIC will work with the City of Carmel staff and officials to conduct a GIS needs assessment to evaluate quality and
currency of existing data, analyze systems and determine overall gaps in GIS activities. The GIC has the capacity to
provide the following:
Build platforms to assist with workflow processes (e.g., asset management systems)
Identify data gaps and conversion needs- convert legacy data and build systems to fit the City's needs including
training and maintenance
Integrate all identified data into state-of-the-art Local Government Information Model (LGIM)
The GIC will verify that all data features have been properly attributed with source type and rank to implement a
confidence level of the accuracy of the data and the methodology use to produce each feature in any given geographic
location. All metadata will be verified to be consistent with ESRI item description format and contain the necessary
supporting information, including but not limited to, proper identification information, accurate spatial data
organization information, entity and attribute information, distribution information, and metadata reference
information. Metadata will document all process involved in the creation and/or manipulation of data to produce a final
product.
