Multi-year contract to provide multidisciplinary professional services and expertise in support of the Watershed Management Program created to comply with EPA regulations. This included design, development and maintenance of GIS data, relational databases, and web-based data access applications. Implemented ArcSDE Geodatabase with SQL Server in a secured workgroup web environment. Implemented a public ArcIMS and GeoNorth’s MapOptix web site for viewing spatial and tabular data sets which includes hydrology, watersheds, sub-watersheds, and other features. Developed desktop applications that provide data collection, decision support, analytical, and reporting tools to planners. Developed logical and physical data models, tabular and spatial data standards, data dictionary, and guidelines for data versioning.
Revised, updated, or created multiple datasets in Geodatabase, including: Marine Shoreline and Tidelands Maps, Watersheds and Sub-watersheds, Stream Features Mapping, Legacy Stream Maps, Floodzone Maps, Lake Features, Drainageways Features Mapping, Constructed (Piped) Drainageway Maps, Natural Drainageway Maps, Constructed (Ditched) Drainageway Maps, Outfall Basin Maps, and Outfall Maps.
Delivered spatial and tabular data derived from analysis of multi-spectral imagery. Provided integration tools for SWMM GIS data loading as well as model operation for calibration and model runs for storm water hydrology, sediment transport, sediment-associated coliform transport and chloride transport. This modeling application generated hydrographs and pollutographs for select watersheds, subwatersheds and outfall basins.
A web based user interface to the DM/RM system was designed and deployed to provide easy and consistent access to all WMS records (paper, electronic, and other media) for staff, WMS contractors, and the general public. This reduced the amount of paper to make records easier to manage, create a consistent way to manage records across WMS, and reduced redundancy and effort by utilizing a Records Management System for documents and records from inception to destruction.
Three year on-going contract to complete a detailed watershed and habitat analysis study. Tasks included data automation, coding, detailed statistical analysis, modeling, and results mapping. These tasks assisted watershed planners understand natural and socioeconomic factors related to stream management, and develop integrated management plans.
Developed an automated permit system for the issuance of Right of Way permits for the Street Maintenance department. Features permit processing, inspection entry, invoicing, and cash reporting, and remote updates from field inspectors.
Over the past few years GeoNorth has developed a number of permit systems for the Municipality of Anchorage. These systems perform a number of functions including permit processing, work flow management, a field inspection module, reporting, links to other databases, integration with imaging systems, inspection entry, invoicing, and cash reporting, and remote updates from field inspectors. Other systems developed by GeoNorth include:
GIS Term Contract The objective of this project was to assist and supplement AWWU’s Engineering GIS Section staff and provide additional IT resources as necessary to respond to a variety of GIS related projects and general technical support. This was initiated and delivered on a task basis. Each specific task was negotiated and individual notice-to-proceeds were written and made a binding part of the contract. Major tasks completed as part of this contract included: developing new ArcInfo coverages and spatial datasets, updating and maintaining data base information, reviewing and providing recommendations for third party GIS products and EPANet hydraulic modeling data conversion and application integration.
Developed system for tracking water and sewer connection permits for both new construction and maintenance. Various permit fees can be calculated and allows users to print hard copies of permits in several formats. Other features include an ad-hoc reporting module that allows users to create custom reports and also links to the tax assessment database (IBM VSAM format), which resides on a mainframe. A document management module allows users to view scanned images of hard copy permits that existed before the system was automated.
Developed a GIS Master Plan that provides a high-level business planning mechanism used to document program direction, establish goals and objectives, and prioritize initiatives. This plan is a guide with strategies for implementing new hardware and software, developing applications, and directing the overall GIS program design and implementation, to allow AWWU to maintain an effective GIS program through the next four years.
Developed application to track all parking citations issued by the Parking Authority. It provides a means of uploading tickets from hand-held units or entering manually written tickets. The system processes payment batches, generates late notices, produces a collection tape for non-payers, updates driver information from the DMV, and keeps historical information on all citations written.
