Re:
Proposal for Cooperative GIS User Needs Assessment with Town of Southold and Village of
Greenport
Dear Ms. Neville:
Bowne Management Systems, Inc. (BMS) is pleased to present this proposal to provide the Town of
Southold (Town) with a scope of work and budget estimate in support of your recently awarded New
York State Archives' Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund (LGRMIF) funds for
a cooperative GIS User Needs Assessment grant in 2010-2011.
BMS has reviewed the requirements and understands the Town's need for technical expertise to develop
a cooperative GIS User Needs Assessment, Conceptual System Design and Implementation Plan. A
Needs Assessment Plan is one of the most important first steps in developing a robust GIS. Having
functioned successfully in similar roles for other municipalities, we not only understand the types of GIS
services that will be most valuable to the Town, but are highly experienced with the issues the Town
will likely encounter in pursuing its GIS initiatives, the alternative solutions available, and the right
solution for each situation. In short, our expertise and our approach will enable the Town and Village
to optimize the use of consultant services and get the most "bang for the buck".
Thank you for the opportunity to present our capabilities and qualifications in this proposal. We hope
that it addresses your needs regarding the assessment of GIS within the Town of Southold and Village of
Greenport, and leads to an effective expansion of GIS activity. Please feel free to contact me if you
need additional information.
Sincerely,
Scott Mastellon.

BMS proposes the following scope of work to meet both the Town's requirements and the methodology
outlined in the State Archives Publication # GIS03. In accordance with the Town's Project Scope of
Work, our proposal consists of three (3) tasks:
Task 1: GIS Activity Status and Assessment Review (Introductory Seminar, Interviews, and
Needs Assessment)
· Task 2: Conceptual System Design for the G1S
· Task 3: GIS Implementation Plan
The following sections describe our activities with each task.
Task 1: GIS Activity Status and Assessment Review (Introductory Seminar, Interviews, and Needs
Assessment)
Based on your Request for Quotation, the Town has identified 25 departments (within the Town and
Village of Greenport) to be included in the interview process.
Kick-off Meeting
The first activity in the Town's GIS Needs Assessment is a Kickoff Meeting which will be held on-site
with the appropriate Town personnel and the Bowne Project Team. The goals of the Kickoff Meeting
are the following:
· Introduce the Bowne Project Team and establish the project schedule
· Define the concept of Enterprise GIS and how it benefits the Town of Southold and Village
of Greenport
· Review departments to be interviewed, identify subject matter experts (SMEs) within each
department, and determine the sequence of the interviews
· Present an overview of the major components of a municipal GIS, including relevant
demonstrations of GIS and related technologies, current trends in New York State, and how
GIS can be utilized in the Town arena (e.g., Property Assessment and Valuation, Asset
Management, Stormwater Inventory).
It is anticipated that the Kickoff Meeting will be a full-day event consisting of two components:
· A morning introductory and educational seminar for all project participants
· An afternoon meeting of the project team to define schedules and procedures

Information Collection
Based on the identification of SMEs at the Kickoff Meeting, interviews will be conducted with Town
and Village personnel and relevant Bowne subject experts. Our approach to the interview process
differentiates us from our competition in that we utilize a multi-person team rather than a single
interviewer. Our teams consist of the project manager (who is also the primary analyst) and additional
BMS staff who are subject matter experts.
In addition to the 25 departments specified in the RFQ, we anticipate interviews/meetings with the
Town's Information Technology Department, or people who are responsible for running the Information
Technology functions of the Town, to review the Town's servers, LAN, WAN and other critical
infrastructure required to support GIS in the Town. As noted in the RFQ, we will examine integration
opportunities and the feasibility of GIS integration with the Village of Greenport as well as expansion
capabilities to special districts within the Town (i.e., Fire Districts).
The needs interviews can be held in two ways - a group setting (e.g., all of the Public Works SMEs) or
an individual or small group setting (e.g., one or two SMEs). This decision can be made during the
Kickoff Meeting.
During the interviews, we generally collect the following information:
· The organization of the department and relevant facts regarding its business operations
· Workflow analysis on how critical work is performed within each department
· Typical critical indicators used within the department to measure efficiency and productivity
(e.g., number of open service requests for street lighting)
· The current role of GIS in the department and the tools and datasets currently in use
· The types of paper maps used on a regular basis or maintained by the department
· The overall extent of automation and IT resources within the department
· Current datasets in use within the department and location reference keys used in each
dataset
· Current staffing levels in the department and the staff's overall computer
training/proficiencies
· Staff comments and ideas on how GIS can be effectively used in the department
BMS will also conduct a Dataset Analysis, in which sample Town, County, State and Federal datasets
that are not available within the Town or Village are evaluated for incorporation into an Enterprise GIS.

The interview with the Information Technology Department will focus on the "nuts and bolts" needed to
support GIS, including overall IT standards, operating systems, WAN/LAN environment, web standards
(including internet portals), current IT staffing and support levels, and core IT competencies.
Needs Assessment:
Using information collected during the interviews, the BMS analysts will prepare a Town/Village
cooperative GIS Needs Assessment that will include our analysis and a series of recommendations for
the Town's consideration. BMS will also describe recommendations that address the organization of
GIS within the Town and present these in a written report. Included in these organizational
recommendations will be:
· Town and Village GIS goals and objectives
· A GIS management and organization model
· Opportunities for future grant funding
Task 2: Conceptual System Design for the GIS
Conceptual System Design:
Based on the findings of the Needs Assessment, BMS will prepare the Conceptual System Design to
describe a general framework for structuring an Enterprise-wide GIS Implementation Plan. In order to
meet the GIS needs of the Town and Village, BMS will evaluate various system design alternatives in
terms of data, software, hardware, and personnel. BMS will prepare a proposed GIS Architecture and
Deployment presenting specific recommendations, both short-term and longer-term, regarding the
current GIS program and possible expansion of GIS within operational units. The Conceptual System
Design will include:
· Presentation of the proposed GIS Hardware and Software Architecture and Data Model
· Data needs and sources (Master Data List)
· Needs and requirements for increasing the capacity of the GIS (software and hardware)
· GIS expansion scenarios
· Priority activities for GIS expansion within the Town and Village
· Conceptual Database Design
· Data sharing, integration and cooperation with other municipalities, non-profit, educational,
or similar types of organizations in or around Southold.

Task 3: Implementation Plan
Implementation Plan:
A detailed Implementation Plan will provide the Town and Village with steps needed to accomplish its
goal of a Enterprise-wide GIS. BMS will identify these steps by year to establish a robust Enterprise-
wide GIS taking short and long-term implementation needs into account. The Implementation Plan will
describe a multi-phased approach using industry best practices with respect to the following elements:
· Organizational structure
· Hardware and software acquisition
· Data creation and acquisition
· Hardware and software installation
· Application development
· Staffing and training needs
· Ongoing maintenance and support
BMS will prepare all related cost estimates for each implementation step and include them in the
Implementation Plan to support the Town's future budget preparation. These cost estimates and
schedules can also be used to pursue grant opportunities from New York State agencies. The
implementation plan will be presented in a written report.
Upon completion of the project all files will be delivered to the Town and Village in hard copy format as
well as pdf files on CD-ROM.

New York City Fire Department
Description:
The New York City Fire Department (FDNY) has numerous mapping and spatial analysis needs that
were previously being met by a variety of intemal groups using different software products with
separate versions of the same or similar data sets. PlanGraphics and Bowne Management Systems
teamed to work with FDNY to design and build a central spatial data warehouse and hosting
environment. The intent was to move FDNY from a fractured, file-based approach to mapping and GIS,
with pockets of GIS users, to a more centralized, enterprise approach. In addition to spatial data,
attribute data can now be retrieved from both the Fire and EMS Computer Aided Dispatch systems.
To leverage the enhanced infrastructure and centralized data storage and immediately realize a return on
investment by addressing the most pressing mapping needs, three initial applications were developed.
These applications provide:
1) Viewing access and basic query functionality, taking advantage of the extensive array of available
New York City and FDNY spatial data sets. Entrance to the application is provided through a series of
screens that establishes the location and extent of interest and the data sets to be viewed.
2) Generation of thematic maps depicting Fire and EMS performance measures. Users have the ability to
select the geography by which the data is to he summarized and to set the parameters for classifying and
symbolizing the results.
3) Generation of maps showing units out of service. The application includes two separate components,
one for the entry of training data and the second for the generation of the maps.
In its role as subcontractor to PlanGraphics, Bowne was responsible for:
· Designing and developing the geodatabase and compiling the GIS data for the Central Spatial
Data Warehouse
· Extracting and loading attribute data into the GIS for thematic mapping using ETL routines to
capture response time
· Loading GIS layers used to display units out of service into AmSDE

City of Rye
Description:
Bowne was engaged by the City of Rye to implement GIS technology. This implementation included:
· Digitization of all 45 tax maps within the City
· Integration of the parcel data into a Citywide GIS
· Integration of City Assessor data with the GIS
Quality Control of Tax Mapping - Bowne utilized quality control programs to ensure that the
delivered tax maps conformed to the City's specifications for topological integrity and edge matching.
Bowne identified all topological errors (overshoots, lines crossing without nodes, edge matching) for
notification of the tax mapping vendor. The tax mapping vendor was required to fix all errors.
Integration of GIS and Assessor Data - Upon City approval of the digital tax maps, Bowne integrated
all 45 digital tax map sheets into a seamless citywide basemap. This included associating Assessor data
with each of the 4,900 tax parcels and providing on-site assistance in the use of the parcel basemap for
assessment purposes.

Town of Greenburgh
Description:
For the purposes of the GIS Demonstration Project, Bowne selected one village within the Town and
added data to show how GIS can be used to assist with completing many typical municipal functions.
The demonstration project focused on how assessment-related data is used in a GIS. Components of the
project included:
Integration of Property Record Card Data - Property record cards were scanned into a format
compatible with AreView, enabling them to be "hot-linked" into the Town's GIS database and retrieved
rapidly.
Query Design and Development - Bowne designed and developed custom queries for use with the GIS
in conjunction with Town personnel. The queries were developed using a variety of tools including
Avenue, Visual Basic, and C++. Custom buttons were placed on the default ArcView menu to facilitate
ease-of-use.
Map Template Design and Development - Bowne created two standard map templates. The first is
based on the Town's existing tax map while the second is a variable scale template for use with a variety
of maps (i.e., zoning, sales comparison).
Assessment Data Integration - Assessment data from the Town's Real Property System was added to
the GIS for the selected Village. As part of the loading process, Bowne performed QC on the data and
reported any discrepancies between the RPS data and the digital tax maps to the Town.
Property Image Integration - Bowne incorporated images of buildings, obtained by using a digital
camera, into the GIS. These images were "hot-linked" for fast retrieval and display.

Governors Island Preservation and Education Corporation (GIPEC) and Tumer Construction Company
Description:
Bowne, as a subcontractor to Turner Construction Company, developed a comprehensive GIS Database
and Infrastructure Assessment for the Island, including field data collection using sub-foot and sub-
meter GPS technology, mobile GIS including the use of ruggedized laptops and ESRI's ArcGIS.
Data collection encompassed the following infrastructure assets:
· Potable Water
· Storm Sewer
· Sanitary Sewer
· Electric
· Telephone
· Gas System
Bowne conducted an inventory and assessment of potential data sources, developed a Geodatabase
design, and performed joint application development (JAD) sessions. Upon approval of the
Geodatabase design, Bowne began the database conversion process which created data (e.g. new
sanitary sewer network), migrated and integrated data from various formats and sources (e.g.
NYCMAP), and transformed data as required.
The GIS Planning process dealt not only with the data collection and verification, but with issues
relating to infrastructure assessment, such as the integration of sanitary sewer CCTV, safety issues with
regard to electrical system assessment, and the tagging of infrastructure features. The planning process
also included the eventual integration of GIS based Computerized Maintenance and Management
System (CMMS) software.

Nassau County - GIS Intranet Portal
Description:
Bowne has designed and implemented a GIS Intranet Portal for users within Nassau County which
does not require any client side installation other than Intemet Explorer. The layout and intuitive
nature of the Portal make it easy for most users to use the system with minimal training. The goal is
to make it possible for users to be able to satisfy most of their standard map production requirements
directly from the viewer, without having to use the more complex AreGIS products or have the maps
prepared for them. The GIS Portal is structured around the five 'verticals' that define the various
departments of County government. A sixth option, titled "GIS Resources", gives users access to
general services of the existing County enterprise GIS, which was also designed and implemented by
Bowne. Departmental Viewers are accessed from menus that are displayed once a user selects a
particular 'vertical'. These viewers are similar in format and functionality and all contain a common
base of GIS data layers, including administrative and special district boundaries, the road network,
railroads, color orthophotography, and other commonly used layers. Each viewer then adds GIS
layers specific to the needs and functions of that department. Each viewer also contains an online
help system tailored to the contents and functions of the specific viewer.

Nassau County Department of Information Technology
Description:
Nassau County's Enterprise GIS has been in production for over 12 years and, although a number of
intermediate upgrades had been completed, the system was still operating on the original HP 9000
server with five year old software versions. Growing demands on the system, coupled with the fact
that both the hardware and software were out of support, led the County to embark on a major re-
architecture of the entire GIS environment
Working with the County's IT Department, Bowne developed a completely new hardware and
software design based on state-of-the-art technologies. The new system is housed in 22 Dell Blade
Servers within 3 chasses. The configuration provides a combination of load balancing, failover and
clustering to ensure adequate performance for the growing number of GIS users and applications.
To further ensure high performance and availability, the GIS servers and their connections to the
County's network were designed to retain as much internal traffic between GIS servers as possible
within the enclosure switches while providing high speed, redundant connectivity to the rest of the
County network.
Bowne personnel worked with the County to design, plan and implement the cutover that involved
client system upgrades; system, database and GIS software installation and configuration; and finally
data migration. The final cutover was completed in two days of intensive activity by the entire
project team.
A completely separate enclosure houses 5 additional blade servers which act as the disaster recovery
system. These will be housed in a remote disaster recovery site being established. The disaster
recovery site will also contain a fully redundant SAN with replicated databases.

Nassau County Police Department
Description:
Nassau County's Enterprise GIS, in production for over 12 years, did not have the level of data
accuracy required for use by the County's new Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system. Bowne
worked with the County's Police and Fire Dispatch (FireCom) services to improve the data. Since
the new system includes map-based dispatch functionality, the County's data had to be upgraded in
three major areas:
Boundary Polygons - Dispatchers using the enhanced 911 dispatch system reference Automatic
Number Identification (AND and Automatic Location Identification (ALI) information that includes
the Emergency Service Number (ESN). As part of the IPS CAD System's response plans, ESN
polygons were required to match both geocoded and Phase II cell phone calls.
Using automated spatial modeling, Bowne devised the method to build and verify the ESN polygons
for the dispatch system. This included a complex set of topological and business rules
accommodating the County's 20 local police departments, 71 fire departments, and ambulance
service from police, fire and independent ambulance companies. Another aspect of this process
involved mapping place polygons based on Verizon's Master Street Address Guide (MSAG) and the
County's existing CAD dispatch area data, and then ensuring that the County's centerline and
address data was consistent with the MSAG data. Special Address ESN's were also created to
accommodate special dispatch requirements of the Police including highway exits and unique
locations which could not be accommodated through the normal ESN polygon layer.
Street Centerlines - The County's street centerline file, consisting of approximately 70,000
segments, was also reviewed and enhanced for accuracy. Information from FireCom's existing Street
Locator System was also migrated to the GIS centerline. Tasks included adjusting segment direction
for consistency, splitting/merging segments to accommodate FireCom boundaries, adding new street
segments, normalizing street names and adding alias names where required. A custom ArcGIS
application was developed to enable County personnel to maintain and enhance this data.
Address Points - The project validated and normalized over 400,000 addresses, ensuring that each
was properly assigned to an ESN. In addition to the County's existing address database, service
point data (address and x,y coordinate) for all electric meters in the County was obtained from
KeySpan. This data was normalized and programmatically matched to its proper street segment,
ESN and parcel. A custom ArcGIS application was developed to enable County personnel to
maintain and enhance address point data.

New York City Department of Information Technology (DolTT)
Description:
DoITT and the New York City Department of City Planning (DCP) are working cooperatively to
enhance the City's existing street centerline ("LION") and related datasets to support Unified Call
Taking (UCT) and the computer-aided dispatch systems (CAD) at NYPD and FDNY. Bowne was
responsible for the design and implementation of the new CSCL dataset, used to create extracts that
can be loaded into the public safety CAD systems to improve the accuracy of dispatching. The
project included creation or enhancement of the following GIS and non-GIS datasets:
Address Points - New York City has almost 1,000,000 addressable locations. Although a GIS-
based address point dataset has not existed previously, several City information systems include
the majority of the City's addresses. Bowne evaluated the existing source datasets and created a
master address dataset that aggregates the best existing address data into an initial GIS address
point dataset. Bowne then validated and completed this dataset using field data collection,
visiting roughly 100,000 addressable locations in a nine month timeframe. RouteSmart software
was used to determine optimal data collection routes.
Street Centerlines - The DCP's existing LION file was originally designed to support
demographic, cartographic and other non-network analysis. The City's CAD systems require that
the street network have sufficient topology and attribution to enable accurate emergency service
number (ESN) assignment for each address in the City. This involved modifying the existing
centerline geometry to ensure that all ESN polygons topologically connect to the street centerline
dataset and that all street addresses are reflected in the address ranges on the centerlines.
ESN Polwons - Three sets of public safety ESN polygons were aligned to the enhanced street
centerline file including the NYPD's police beats and housing posts and the FDNY's alarm box
areas and EMS response polygons.
Supnortin~ Features Classes and Attribution - Several other datasets were created or
enhanced in order to optimally support UCT. These include the following, including:
· Alias street names
· Landmarks
· Transit stations and lines
· Mile post markers
· Bridge and tunnel polygons
· Natural drainage (hydrography)
Bowne subsequently designed and developed an application for the Department of City Planning to
maintain the new CSCL dataset.

Town of Islip, New York
Description:
Bowne was hired by the Department of Public Works to create a comprehensive pavement
management system for 700 centerline miles of road.
The Town wished to combine the engineering inspection of pavement conditions with moderu
computer software to determine roadway deterioration rates and to provide reports that could be used
to establish minimum maintenance, rehabilitation and improvement strategies and budgets so that
the network would remain at an acceptable service level. The Town elected to use MicroPAVER, a
PC version of the U.S. Army Corps pavement management system known as PAVER, which is
available through the American Public Works Association (APWA). In addition, Bowne developed
information that was not part of the MicroPAVER system and linked the entire information package
to commercially available GIS software, GisPlus.
The heart of the PAVER system is the PCI (Pavement Condition Index), an index of surface
pavement distresses observed on portions of the network called sample units and chosen according
to a carefully defined set of rules. A trained team of inspectors examined 3,469 sample units
representing 689.9 miles of roadway; a total of 7,776 pavement distresses were recorded.
Bowne's services included: · The installation of APWA MicroPAVER
· Development of a database for condition information of concrete curb, curb and gutters and
aprons
· Pavement life for commercial streets as indexed by remaining ESALs
· GIS development using Caliper's GisPlus software
· Training, support and assistance with licensing for APWA MicroPAVER and GisPlus

(CAM) application for the City of Troy Police Department under an Impact IV grant. CAM is a
comprehensive crime mapping capability which enables the Troy Police Department, the City
Bureau of Information Services, City Code Enforcement Bureau, City Planning Department, County
Dispatch Office and relevant law enforcement partners to effectively store and share data with the
participating and relevant parties from a secure, central location, through a web-based GIS
application.
The CAM application automatically extracts EmergiTech incident data three times a day before each
Police Department shift. This incident data is then processed and combined with GIS data such as
Police Zones, aerial imagery, streets, and parcels. Consequently, City staff is able to perform Police
Incident, Quality of Life, and Call Center inquiries by Police Zones, date ranges, and incident types.
The results are displayed in both tabular and spatial formats for further analysis in order to respond
to future incidents more effectively. Bowne is also preparing a variety of canned spatial reports for
the Police Chief and Patrol Captains for specific time frames such as prior work shifts for quick
access.
Bowne tasks included:
Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) Emergitech data
o SQL Server Integration Services
Design and implement an Enterprise GIS
o ArcGIS Server, ArcSDE, Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Design a web-based application
o ArclMS, Microsoft .NET technologies
