Copy this from the City of Fort Collins FTP Server. ftp://ns2.fcgov.com/download/rfp_data/Parcel maintenance.doc 1.5 Attachment “A” Tax parcel modification and relationship with addresses. This replaces the tax parcel feature class as described in the parcel Geodatabase model poster. SECTION 2.0: Background The City of Fort Collins GIS department is planning to migrate all of their GIS data from ESRI ArcInfo coverage format to Geodatabase format. The existing data is kept and maintained in ESRI coverage format in Librarian and is maintained using AML (Arc Macro Language) programs. The parcel, subdivision, street centerline, and addresses are currently maintained by a series of AML’s. AutoDesk’s AutoCAD drawings are converted with AML’s into ESRI Coverages. The following describes this process in more detail. The current process starts with a subdivision drawn in AutoCAD (see sample drawing). Drawings have addresses and street centerlines and are drawn to exact specifications using pre-defined layers by the City of Fort Collins Engineering department. The current specifications may change due to the possibility of requiring digital submittal from the developers. The drawings are checked against the existing parcel information for locational accuracy -- moved and/or rotated to get a best fit. The drawing is then converted into AutoCAD DXF format. Several QC (quality control) programs are used in this conversion process. The first one checks the DXF files to ensure that the correct type of data is in the correct layer and that all required layers are present. Other QC applications check that there are no topology errors (i.e. sliver polygons, missing labels, dangle nodes, etc…) , all required subclasses are present, and the database design is correct. The DXF file is converted into the ESRI ArcInfo coverages that represent the parcel, subdivision, street centerline, and address coverages. These coverages include only the area to be updated and are defined the same as the final coverages. The coverages are visually and programmatically checked to ensure that there are no errors. Once this is done each parcel polygon has a unique identifier assigned to it. The next step is to update all the addresses with the correct street names, zip codes and a unique id. This may involve updating the master street name database. This is then used to update the street centerlines with street ranges and names. The updated street centerline cover is then inserted into the final coverage and manually cleaned up. The parcel coverage address annotation then gets updated with the unique id from the address database. This creates a “database linked annotation”. Whenever the data is changed in the database the annotation automatically displays the correct information. The new parcel data is then updated into the final coverage and manually cleaned up, removing slivers. The subdivision boundary is merged into the overall subdivision coverage and manually cleaned up. The new Geodatabase design will use the ESRI parcel data model and the ESRI address data model. 0033 Both of these data models will have some minor changes that have not been finalized as of yet. The survey aware functionality that is shown in the model will not be implemented. SECTION 3.0: Scope of work 3.1 Phase 1 -- Assessment and recommendations The Professional will work with City staff to review the current AML’s and process as described above. Based on this review, The Professional will then make their own recommendations on how to change, improve, and streamline this process, not just rewrite the existing AML’s. 3.2 Phase 1 -- Deliverables The Professional will produce and deliver a document that describes the recommended modifications to the process and the application modules that will be developed. This will be the foundation for a more detailed scope of work. 3.3 Phase 2 -- Project Prototype After the Professional delivers the recommendations and the process is decided upon, The Professional will produce a prototype of the new parcel update application to demonstrate how they will function and to allow for any final requirement changes. 3.4 Phase 2 -- Deliverable The Professional will produce a Parcel Maintenance prototype application to demonstrate functionality. Final Parcel Maintenance application requirements will then be determined in cooperation with City staff. 3.5 Phase 3 -- Parcel Maintenance Application: General Requirements The Professional will produce a Parcel Maintenance application that will take a AutoCAD DXF file and update the Geodatabase components. The application will be written to run on the windows operating system and it will be written in a modular fashion to allow for individual modules to be updated or replaced. The application will be written using ESRI Arc Objects and will integrate with ArcMap. The parcel Geodatabase components (see Parcel Geodatabase Model Poster) that will need to be updated are: • parcel framework polygon feature classes • boundary arc feature class • tax parcel polygon feature class, as modified (see Attachment A). The tax parcel polygon feature class will have a unique id assigned automatically. The tables related to it will also have their unique id’s assigned automatically. • annotations -- several will be incorporated into the Geodatabase including feature linked Geodatabase annotation as mentioned below. • easements, incorporated as an arc feature class The address Geodatabase components (see Address Geodatabase Model Poster) that will need to be updated are: • address point feature class • subaddress point feature class • street arc feature class • address range tables, and name tables 0033 • annotations, incorporated into the Geodatabase Address and subaddress point feature classes will have a unique id assigned automatically. The application developed must have QC processes to ensure that the same standard of data quality that now exists is maintained. Input data must be checked to determine that it is correct and all there and It also must check that the final data has no errors and that it will integrate into the existing dataset. Based upon the recommendations of the Professional some of the existing AML’s could be used as a front end to this application. Eventually the City of Fort Collins desires to automate this entire process. 3.6 Phase 3: Parcel Maintenance Deliverables The Professional will deliver the completed Parcel Maintenance application, along with copies of all application documentation. 3.7 Training The contactor will provide training as needed to operate the Parcel Maintenance application. SECTION 4.0: Pricing In your proposal, provide: 4.1 Cost Estimate A cost estimate for the work required to complete this Project. This estimate should be broken down by the deliverables as set forth in the Scope of Work for Project #1 and include a breakdown of hourly costs, expenses and total number of hours estimated for each person who would be assigned to the Project. 4.2 Hourly Rate and Daily Expenses An hourly rate and daily expenses for additional work on this Project or other tasks. 0033 Project #2 CARPOOL MAP APPLICATION SECTION 1.0 Background The City of Fort Collins SmartTrips office is seeking a bid for a customized application to provide carpool information to residents who sign up for carpooling. The end product must include a map and a list of names, address and phone number information of other carpoolers which can be mailed to each person in the carpool database. This is done so that each person who receives the information can find someone to carpool with that lives and works near where they do. Currently, a process has been established to create the maps in ArcMap (out-of-the-box) and a report is generated using Access. The end product that is created now is what is needed. The problem is that it takes many steps to create and update the maps and it is not user friendly enough for SmartTrips staff to update the information on their own. There needs to be some customization of ArcMap and a more efficient process of updating the database for the system to function optimally. There are two programs that make up the carpool program. School Pool matches parents with kids that go to the same school. The regular carpool program keeps a database of random carpool records and holds campaigns with larger local companies like HP, CSU, etc. to find carpool matches. These two databases are stored in Access and updates are entered periodically and new maps are created from the updated information. Each home address is entered into Access and then redundantly entered into a shapefile in ArcMap using a geocoding process. The map that shows all of the home locations is printed with a table that displays the number id on the map of the home location and the persons’ name and address. Another report is generated out of Access that displays the persons’ name, address, phone number, work destination, work hours, etc. With the campaign programs, all participants work at the same location. In this case, it is easy to match riders and prepare maps that display the relevant information for each person. A database query is used to generate a report listing out only those employees. A similar query is set up to generate a map with home locations, addresses, etc. The handling of random carpool riders is more complex. They have less popular destinations and need to find relevant locations for other carpoolers at the origin and destination sites. In addition, some home (origin) or work (destination) sites are outside the immediate Fort Collins area. Carpoolers living or working outside Fort Collins need to be provided with information relevant to their situation. GIS has less detailed address information outside of the area, although the location still can be geocoded. At this time we cannot produce the maps or reporting needed to assist these people in locating potential matches. 1.1 Terms and Definitions Carpool Program – This program consists of business campaigns and individual carpoolers. The business campaign programs are done with larger companies in town like CSU or HP. Carpool matches are more likely to be made when the people work at the same location. Other people sign up for the program individually and can also be matched, but it is more complex. Carpool matches for individuals would consist of others who are close to their home or on the way home from their work and the match must also work nearby as well. Carpooler – Someone who signs up for the carpool program. Each person has filled out a form (http://www.fcgov.com/transportation/carpool.php), and the information is received by SmartTrips staff and is entered into a database. 0033 School Pool - SchoolPool is a free service that matches families from a participating school with others who are interested in sharing a trip to school via carpooling, biking or walking. Families provide information to the SmartTrips™ office, including name, grade, nearest major intersections to home and phone number. The SmartTrips™ program uses an innovative computer program (used to be RidePro software) to match families based on home and school locations. Families receive a customized match list of possible SchoolPool partners. Interested SchoolPool members then work out convenient transportation arrangements among themselves. Other information on the form that is filled out includes the following: Parent Name Home Address Mailing Address E-mail Address How many miles from home to school? Do you typically return home or go to work/errands? Name of School (for each child) Child Name (for each child) Child Grade (for each child) Would you like to: 1. Provide rides for other students? 2. Get a ride with other students? 3. Both provide and get rides? 4. Bike together? 5. Walk together? School Pooler – A child who’s parents have signed up for the school pool program. A form is given to each child at the beginning of the school year to fill out. Each interested parent fills out the form and returns it to the SmartTrips office where each child and parent is entered into a database. Report - A report is generated out of Access that lists all the relevant carpool matches (destinations and origins) and is delivered with a map displaying most of those records (except those outside of town) to the new carpooler who has signed up. Origin – This is usually considered “home”, where a carpooler would start the day. Sometimes, though, it could be different if someone works a night shift or has two jobs. Then this definition changes accordingly. Destination – This is usually considered “work” where the carpooler is going and will leave from at the end of the day. The same situations apply as above. 0033 SECTION 2.0: Scope of Work • Meet with SmartTrips and GIS staff to verify needs of carpool program. • Evaluate existing products, databases, data and procedures. • Evaluate the problems outlined in Section 1.0, Background. Identify other problems. • Meet with City staff to discuss findings. • Work with City staff to identity all relevant needs, reach agreement on what problems are to be addressed and determine procedures for application development. • Provide documentation of those needs and requirements to City staff for agreement before any programming begins. • Program a user interface to update database, map and produce a report product. • Provide regular updates of progress to the City’s Project Manager. Changes in software functionality will be reviewed and tested by SmartTrips and GIS personnel. Each change must be accepted before moving to the next step, insofar as possible. 2.1 Database The database update must update both the Access tables and GIS database tables. The data format can be changed, but the goal is to reduce redundant data entry The records from the Access database must correspond with each record in the GIS point dataset. Data entry should be designed into a form with drop-down menus with a list of choices for field entries with domains. A copy of the existing database can be delivered to evaluate field definitions. 2.2 Geocoding New records should be geocoded using two separate geocoding services. One is a regional level street centerline dataset and the other is an address location point based city-wide dataset. Both geocoding operations performed against the two geocoding services should be seamless and transparent to the user. 2.3 Map The map should be generated based on whether the application is a campaign promotion for a specific company, an individual carpooler, or a school pool. Based on this criteria it is necessary to create a way to customize maps based on destinations and origins that are relevant to each carpooler. This means that the map that the person would receive displays only other carpoolers who are realistically going to be potential matches. For instance, in the case of the individual carpooler, the map and report would only show other people who are close to their home and also close to their work. For the campaign promotion carpooler, the map would display all of the carpoolers near them that work at the same location. For the School Pool kids, the map would show all of the kids that live near them that go to the same school. Some schools have regional level draw. So maps for those schools would show the whole city. 0033 These separate map types should be designed so that the user can print them with a minimal amount of formatting and knowledge of ArcMap software. 2.4 Report A report with all of the relevant contact information would be printed and sent to each carpooler, along with a map. Each record in the report corresponds to a point on the map. A sample of the report can be obtained to evaluate fields that are needed for the display. This report is currently generated out of Access. Carpoolers who are outside the area on the map are also listed. We need a way to develop a list of matches for these carpoolers other than by phone, as is done now.
