The City of Orono has long been utilizing GIS and mapping in their <br /> day to day activities. Bolton&Menk has been managing GIS data and hosting a web based GIS <br /> application for the City of Orono since 2012. <br /> The current utility mapping which is available to staff can be considered schematic in most areas and <br /> incomplete in others.The City has identified that it is critical to have accurate locations of their utility <br /> infrastructwe in order to efficiently respond to maintenance and service needs as they occur. City Staff <br /> has been actively collecting GPS locations of Sanitary and Water infrastructure since 2011. As this GPS <br /> field work nears completion,we would like to assist the city by integrating the GPS collected information <br /> into existing utility mapping. This process will create a more reliable resource for locating and <br /> identifying infrastructure for all city staff. <br /> We would also like to assist the city by conducting a GPS collection and mapping update of the <br /> stormwater system. Currently,there is very little information available which documents the location of <br /> storm sewer infrastructure. This will also be a necessary step moving forward in the MS4 permitting <br /> process. <br /> The following describes our project approach and scope of services for the proposed GIS work. <br /> PROJECT TASKS <br /> Task 1—Sanitary Sewer System Mapping Improvements <br /> Upon project initiation, Bolton&Menk will work with city staff to verify all GPS collected points have <br /> been provided.Bolton&Menk will review all collected points and replace existing schematic <br /> infrastructure locations with those that have been collected through GPS.We will then initiate the utility <br /> N:�Proposals\Orono\GIS Utility Map Updates 011915\UtilityMapUpdates.docx <br />
