GIS Director Services

The government authority located in Georgia is seeking a vendor to provide GIS director services. The agency needs a professional to read and interpret source documents, such as civil engineering plans, plot maps, plats, deeds, and legal descriptions, and enter the required data into the geographic information system. Additionally, the role involves designing, building, and maintaining applications, tools, and scripts to analyze, visualize, and manage spatial data. The selected provider must maintain and administer applicable GIS systems, requiring experience with ESRI products like ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Enterprise, and Arc Objects, or open-source GIS technology. The agency requires the development and implementation of citywide and departmental GIS functions, services, policies, and strategies, as well as the implementation of standards and procedures for database and basemap maintenance. The representative will coordinate GIS efforts across all local government units and departments, maintain liaisons with regional, state, and national GIS activities, and facilitate the development of the city GIS strategic plan. The scope of work includes maintaining and updating databases using GIS computer-aided drafting software, creating maps using ESRI GIS software, and assisting GIS staff with information manipulation, storage, and retrieval. The provider will assist with designing, developing, and editing the GIS spatial and tabular database, performing analytical operations, and suggesting data collection methodologies for GPS collection. The agency will provide various forms, reports, correspondence, construction as-built drawings, aerial photos, and manuals for the provider to review, process, and enter into the computer systems. Bidders must perform all work onsite and must be located onshore within the United States. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget for these services. Interested parties must submit their responses digitally via email or online, though the source document does not specify key dates or evaluation criteria.
