DESCRIPTION
The government authority in Detroit, Michigan is seeking GIS professional support services for updating and maintaining geographic information related to capital improvement projects and water infrastructure. Services include quality assurance of field-entered data and contractor-provided shapefiles, updating the spatial locations and attributes of water feature classes, applying line-splitting rules, correcting active or abandoned asset statuses, and updating connectivity and topology.
The engagement also includes scanning and data extraction from approximately 1,000 paper as-built drawings and permit cards. The consultant will provide individual water or sewer drawing images in PDF and TIFF formats at sufficient resolution for extraction, along with quality assurance and quality control to verify scan quality and document completeness.
GIS architect support is required for utility network migration, including strategic planning, data assessment, target-system design, and migration execution. The work will involve defining the migration approach, evaluating and improving source data quality, designing the Utility Network architecture, and determining the structure of feature classes, attributes, domains, relationships, authentication, security rules, and performance requirements. Questions are due by September 28, 2026, and a pre-bid meeting is scheduled for September 21, 2026.
