11. RELEVANT EXPERIENCE/ PROJECT EXPERIENCE
III.
City of Greenacres, FL
Project Name: GIS Parcel Base Mapping
Scope of Work:
CGA and New Wave Geographics updated a large number of maps with the most accurate and current data available. We created a model mapping the historical areas annexed into the City of Greenacres, from 1947 to present. All data was checked and adjusted to ensure spatial and topological accuracy.
Comprehensive Plan maps were also updated to represent the most recent data. After updating, all data was documented with its purpose, limitations, and intended use to be integrated into the city’s existing Geographic Information System.

12. RELEVANT EXPERIENCE/ PROJECT EXPERIENCE
III.
Town of Bay Harbor Islands, FL
Project Name: Utilities Infrastructure Conversion
Scope of Work:
CGA was contracted by the Town of Bay Harbor Islands to convert their Public Works infrastructure into a usable GIS system. CGA utilized all of the Town’s as-built drawings to create a fully attributed utility infrastructure database. The utility feature datasets that were converted included water, sewer and stormwater, electric and irrigation features. Each as-built was georeferenced to the correct geographic location and saved for future use. After the georeference process was complete, all utility information was digitized into a personal geodatabase for submittal to the Town. The final phase of the project and deliverable included integrating all the newly developed datasets into ESRI’s new GIS web portal application called ArcGIS. CGA assisted the Town during every step of the integration until the GIS portal was live and operational.

13. RELEVANT EXPERIENCE/ PROJECT EXPERIENCE
III.
South Broward Drainage District, FL
Project Name: General GIS Services
Scope of Work:
CGA provides continuous GIS services on the behalf of the South Broward Drainage District on numerous projects. These projects range from basic mapping and analysis of the districts infrastructure to more complex mobile GIS development. The GPS work completed for the Drainage District began with development of a mobile GIS application to capture manholes, culverts, catch basins and end walls throughout the district. This application was created from scratch and included a wide variety of subtypes and domains to allow for easy attribution in the field by the drainage district employees.

14. IV. PROJECT APPROACH Our Belief
Organizational structure is critical to the success of projects of this nature.
Our Goal
Turn Key Project Management with County Direction & Input
We have found this solution to provide the best ROI for our clients, the process consists of:
Changed, added text

15. IV. PROJECT APPROACH GIS Steering Committee
11 Departmental Coordinators
Will discuss initiatives to benefit each of their departments
We will take the steering committees vision/needs and turn them into a fully integrated GIS environment

16. IV. PROJECT APPROACH GIS Coordinator
Each department will designate 1 coordinator
Will act as departmental lead
Charged with communicating their needs to the CGA Team

17. IV. PROJECT APPROACH Needs Assessment
The CGA Team will obtain the requests and ideas from the Steering Committee and GIS Coordinators and turn them into a Needs Assessment.
Weeklong series of meetings with major stakeholders.
This upfront task ensures all expectations are included, explained and delivered.
Key Factor: The Enterprise GIS should not attempt to define how the departments do business; it should support how they do business.

18. IV. PROJECT APPROACH System Workflows
Will create the fundamental building blocks which need to be supported by the Enterprise GIS.
Focus on duplicated workflows or workflows that could benefit from improvement and/or automation.
Will prepare use case diagrams to better illustrate and explain the workings of the Enterprise GIS.
Added bullet

19. IV. PROJECT APPROACH Project Challenges
Use Case Diagrams are removed from the system
Communication – Technical Terms
Departments not fully understanding how GIS can assist them on a daily basis
Requirements change throughout the project lifecycle
Expectations which do not align with the timeline

20. IV. PROJECT APPROACH Assumptions
County staff will participate in use case modeling sessions
County will have identified departmental GIS Coordinators
GIS Steering Committee members will assist our team with information

21. IV. PROJECT APPROACH Esri Local Governmental Information Model (LGIM)
Advantages
Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS)
Built to support generic basic work flows
Plethora of maps and apps available to use
“One size fits most”
Disadvantages
Built by Esri without the specific needs of the County in mind
Forces departments to do business and model workflows according to the defined data model
Changing elimates use of maps and apps
Changed bullets, added bullets....needs formatting or split across multiple pages.

22. PROJECT APPROACH
IV.
Alternate Approach – Enterprise GIS Data Warehouse (eGIS-DW)
eGIS-DW builds on COTS LGIM
It is the Authoritative Data Source for the County
Business units free to adopt custom data models
Supports a wide array of applications and data products, across all County departments
“Build it once, use it Everywhere”
Changed
