Aquatic Invasive Plant Treatment (AIPT), California Department of Boating and Waterways (DBW) and Crowe LLP
Mr. Stackhouse serves as the Project Manager for the DBW AIPT project. In 2004, VESTRA worked with the DBW to assist in developing an Enterprise GIS for their Aquatic Weed Program. The system included a complete “field-to-back office” system that utilized ArcPAD and ArcSDE. In 2018, DBW contracted with VESTRA to upgrade this system to Esri’s latest technology (ArcGIS Portal, Survey123 and Collector).
In addition to acting as the Project Manager, Arthur designed and developed the surveys that will be used by DBW in the field and developed the scripts that are run nightly to QA/QC the data and prepare it to be uploaded into the historic record that is used for reporting and visualization. Once the DBS field data collection upgrade has been completed, DBW intends to begin investigation of the integration of image processing into their aquatic weed control program.
Regional GIS Platform-Feasibility Study, Shasta County Regional Transportation Agency, Redding, CA Mr. Stackhouse acted as the Senior Project Manager for the GIS Platform Feasibility Study. This study was an analysis related to the concept of a regional GIS data warehouse where spatial analysis, decision-making support, and a framework to develop custom tools and applications could be made available. Professionals from all eight region’s well-respected GIS community participated during each phase of the study, acting on behalf of their respective agency/organization and the greater region by way of the Far North Regional GIS Council.
The Feasibility Study was the region’s first step toward the compilation, standardization, and merging of many GIS data silos under one roof. The overarching goal of the effort is to minimize or eliminate the technological and informational barriers to coordinated regional planning. As the Senior Project Manager, Mr. Stackhouse was instrumental in developing the scope of the study, which included an exploration and evaluation of data needs, data standards, software and technology options, hosting and hardware options, and implementation strategies.
Business Process Re-Engineering, California Department of Transportation, Sacramento, CA Mr. Stackhouse provided high-level business intelligence support to Caltrans during their efforts to reevaluate their business processes.

Mr. Stackhouse used a structured approach for this re-engineering effort which helped ensure that core business functions were clearly addressed, and that future processes were supported. He worked with the stakeholder to identify gaps between the existing core processes as performed and these future processes. The methods used included project management, quality assurance, Michael Hammer’s BPR Method, and the Oracle CASE*Method.
eWRIMS—State Water Rights Information System, California State Water Resources Control Board The Web-based Enhanced Water Right Information Management System (eWRIMS) was developed to track information on water rights in California. eWRIMS contains information on water right permits and licenses issued by the State Water Board and other claimed water rights. eWRIMS is also a module of the State Water Board’s California Integrated Water Quality System (CIWQS) program. Arthur and his team developed a Web- based interactive mapping application which allows Water Board personnel to collect place-of-use data while in the office or field, supporting water right application and processing, and provides the following capabilities to the State Water Resource Control Board, Division of Water Rights: 1) Real-time access to water DocuSign Envelope ID: 7903B5FC-383E-4B44-BD8B-0ACBAB5A8437 Packet Page 238 of 1251Attachment 2 Page 24 of 42

rights data to both Water Board users internally and the general public; 2) Web-based GIS editing, allowing internal users to add, delete, and modify water right points of diversions through a Web-based interface; 3) Login and password security control for State Water Resource Control Board employees; and 4) Upstream and downstream searching of water rights within eWRIMS based on the geolocation of 20,000 place-of-use points which were linked by Mr. Stackhouse’s programming staff to statewide copy of the National Hydrographic Dataset. Arthur also oversaw the development, testing and deployment of a set of custom applications that support field-based GPS data collection of place-of-use information, including both desktop and mobile GPS application components.
Environmental and Cultural Review Application, California Department of Parks and Recreation As the Senior Project Manager, Mr. Stackhouse successfully supervised the completion of two Web-based applications that helped facilitate the incorporation of GIS technology into the day-to-day workflow for development and review of capital outlay projects at the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR). The first is the Environmental and Cultural Review Application (ECRA), a Web application was developed using JavaScript that supports DPR’s CEQA-related compliance work. The ECRA facilitates the internal Parks CEQA process, allowing users to track project status, review documents, create and edit project boundaries, and export CEQA-related documents. The second web application functions as a metadata catalog for digital and non-digital information housed at each individual park unit. There are two main tools: 1) Park units have the ability to upload metadata about files held at that specific unit, and can even upload the file if it exists in digital form, and 2) Allows users to access the metadata catalog for related documents from the CEQA/ECRA application. Arthur designed a geodatabase that housed the GIS information, as well as raster images, for various facilities through the park system. This design also provided a basic link to DPR’s existing facilities management application, MAXIMO by MRO Software.

performed after the date of receipt of written notice to cease work. All completed and incomplete products up to the date of receipt of written notice to cease work shall become the property of CITY. 9)PRODUCTS OF CONSULTING. All products of the CONSULTANT provided under this Agreement shall be the property of the CITY.
10)INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS.
a)If AGREEMENT is an agreement for design professional services subject to California Civil Code § 2782.8(a) and CONSULTANT is a design professional, as defined in California Civil Code §2782.8(c)(2), to the fullest extent permitted by law, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless CITY and its elected officials, officers, agents, employees and designated volunteers (collectively “CITY Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees and costs, to the extent they arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the CONSULTANT. CONSULTANT’s duty to defend shall consist of reimbursement of defense costs incurred by CITY in direct proportion to the CONSULTANT’s proportionate percentage of fault. CONSULTANT’s percentage of fault shall be determined, as applicable, by a court of law, jury or arbitrator. In the event any loss, liability or damage is incurred by way of settlement or resolution without a court, jury or arbitrator having made a determination of the CONSULTANT’s percentage of fault, the parties agree to mediation with a third party neutral to determine the CONSULTANT’s proportionate percentage of fault for purposes of determining the amount of indemnity and defense cost reimbursement owed to the CITY.
b)If AGREEMENT is not an agreement for design professional services subject to California Civil Code § 2782.8(a) or CONSULTANT is not a design professional as defined in California Civil Code §2782.8(c)(2), to the fullest extent allowed by law, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the CITY Indemnitees from all claims, suits, or actions of every name, kind and description, brought forth on account of injuries to or death of any person or damage to property arising from or connected with the willful misconduct, negligent acts, errors or omissions, ultra-hazardous activities, activities giving rise to strict liability, or defects in design by CONSULTANT or any person directly or indirectly employed by or acting as agent for CONSULTANT in the performance of this Agreement, including the concurrent or successive passive negligence of the CITY Indemnitees.
It is understood that the duty of CONSULTANT to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code.
Acceptance of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve CONSULTANT from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply whether or not such insurance policies are determined to be applicable to any such damages or claims for damages.
CONSULTANT’S responsibility for such defense and indemnity shall survive termination or completion of this agreement for the full period of time allowed by law. 11)PROHIBITED INTERESTS. No employee of the CITY shall have any direct financial interest in this agreement. This agreement shall be voidable at the option of the CITY if this provision is violated. 12)LOCAL EMPLOYMENT POLICY. The CITY desires wherever possible, to hire qualified local residents to work on city projects. Local resident is defined as a person who resides in Solano County.

The CITY encourages an active affirmative action program on the part of its contractors, consultants, and developers. When local projects require, subcontractors, contractors, consultants and developers will solicit proposals from qualified local firms where possible.
As a way of responding to the provisions of the Davis-Bacon Act and this program, contractor, consultants, and developers will be asked, to provide no more frequently than monthly, a report which lists the employee's name, job class, hours worked, salary paid, city of residence, and ethnic origin. 13)CONSULTANT NOT A PUBLIC OFFICIAL. CONSULTANT is not a "public official" for purposes of Government Code §§ 87200 et seq. CONSULTANT conducts research and arrives at his or her conclusions, advice, recommendation, or counsel independent of the control and direction of the CITY or any CITY official, other than normal contract monitoring. In addition, CONSULTANT possesses no authority with respect to any CITY decision beyond these conclusions, advice, recommendation, or counsel. 14)EMPLOYMENT DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. When the CITY executes an agreement for or makes payment to CONSULTANT in the amount of $600 (six hundred dollars) or more in any one calendar year, CONSULTANT shall provide the following information to CITY to comply with Employment Development Department (EDD) reporting requirements:
a)Whether CONSULTANT is doing business as a sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability partnership, corporation, limited liability corporation, non-profit corporation or other form of organization.

Project Work Plan
Pro-West has worked with many local governments to establish standards for data storage, maintenance, and data usage throughout their organizations. After careful review of the City’s RFQ it is clear the City is looking for that experience.
Pro-West suggests the following services to meet the City’s goals:
• Analysis of GIS data by City division or department o Identify current GIS data usage and needs o Identify Esri Licensing needs • Development of GIS data standards (for data organization) o Feature datasets, feature classes, and overall schema development • Centralizing GIS data throughout the organization o Enterprise geodatabase configuration o Assuring data storage in the enterprise geodatabase that provides the access to the correct City users, whether no access, view access, or full access to the GIS data.
• Identifying maintenance automations o Attribute Rules o Scheduled routines required for City’s workflows and data consumption needs • Training o How to administer the enterprise geodatabase o How specific division/departments can access their and other City data o How to maintain specific GIS data for a particular division/department When reviewing a City’s current GIS landscape it is important to identify each department’s use of GIS, to create a truly enterprise GIS environment based on the City’s needs. If this has already been carried out, it can be shared with Pro-West, or Pro-West can lead the process via online departmental meetings. Often, departments are storing, consuming and maintaining the same GIS data, so the same data is represented differently on GIS products from one department to the next.
Pro-West can review the City’s current GIS data and suggest where features can be combined.
We will work with the City to determine the appropriate authoritative source of the data, and charge that department with maintenance. However, the data can be stored successfully in one place (enterprise geodatabase) to be consumed by users as necessary.
Pro-West will discuss with the City the building of a Data Matrix. This matrix catalogs all existing GIS data and illustrates how the data’s schema could be standardized and stored moving forward within the enterprise geodatabase. It provides a historical reference regarding the data sources and changes made for standardization purposes, and documents feature classes that were combined. All attribute fields would be listed with field names, alias names, field type, and other fields values, along with a link if a particular field required a domain for a value list. These Packet Page 296 of 1251Attachment 3 Page 40 of 120
9 \
9 GIS Services & Training
domains would also be
listed in the matrix
document, and the
feature classes to which
each domain has been
associated would be clear
to GIS administrators.
Once the matrix is built
and approved, the feature
classes and domains can
be built. Then, existing GIS
data can be migrated to the
new data model for City-wide storage.
Pro-West will provide support for enterprise implementation and setup to ensure department users have the appropriate permissions to access GIS data (full, access, or restricted access).
Once the City-wide GIS feature classes are standardized and migrated, Pro-West will work with the City to update its Public Works data and train staff on GIS workflows and data usage.
Utility Data Updates
Pro-West updates many organizations’ utility datasets from as-builts (record drawings), GPS captured features, CAD files, or all of the above. Pro-West will work with the City to understand its utility data usage and schema requirements, then establish an update plan including:
1. Update Notifications & Scheduling – review the process used to schedule updates.
Timeframe for completion will depend on the quantity of updates; Pro-West and the City will agree on estimated completion dates.
2. Data access – updates to be completed within a connected version through a VPN/remote desktop connection, whether data can be edited through web services in ArcGIS Pro (remotely), or if making disconnected checkouts works best for the City.
3. Attributes – discuss utility feature class attributes, understand the values that need to be populated and where values should be coming from.
4. Source data – type of source data available for the updates, as-builts, GPS’d point data, CAD data, and/or marked scans of paper maps? Discuss transfer and access to source data.
5. Data Update Process – how the source data will be consumed and what will be the most accurate source. This will include the process for handling utility features that are being replaced vs abandoned, if the City needs records of old placements. Abandoned features will be reviewed with the City during data schema and standardization conversations.
6. Quality control – discuss the types of quality control the City is using and describe Pro- West quality control processes, including attribute checks and topology review.
7. Data Completion – discuss how utility updates will be incorporated into the Enterprise system (options will hinge on decisions made during data access discussions).

Pro-West will work with the City to create data maintenance standards, producing a repeatable process that can be used by the City when assistance is needed with ongoing maintenance.
IT Assistance
Pro-West actively works with its clients to optimize GIS workflows. This includes enterprise installation, configuration, and upgrading, developing and automating scheduled tasks to allow integration of GIS data with other 3rd party systems, and configuring Esri solutions for GIS data consumption whether inside or outside of the City’s organization.
Pro-West also has a development team if customizations are required to meet the City’s needs.
Pro-West prioritizes helping clients to leverage their existing software licensing first, using custom development only if other options are unavailable to solve the workflow issue.
Training
Pro-West has many years’ experience of training local governments to administer and maintain their GIS enterprise systems. This encompasses software installation/configuration, data storage and maintenance, and configuring the solutions that display the GIS data. Pro-West has specialized staff ready to assist the City in all facets of Esri’s enterprise platform.
Pro-West tailors training to client-specific needs and the client’s unique systems and data. Pro- West will work with the City to identify its training needs and the best way to administer training to deliver greatest benefit to the City. This includes documentation and recordings of virtual training sessions to be rewatched for future reference or to train others.
Hourly Rates
The table below reflects the hourly rates that apply to each category of the scope of services.

APPENDIX A : PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS
CALTRANS | ENTERPRISE GIS IMPLEMENTATION AND DATA
MANAGEMENT
Timmons Group was selected to help Caltrans establish new data management best practices within their geospatial Services Oriented Architectures (SOA). Caltrans is seeking to organize their Geographic Information System software, data, applications, workflows, stewardship/governance, and maintenance. The agency desires a solid plan that will carry them into the future and establish a GIS that serves all government departments equally and represents all current and future business needs. This plan will include all elements of a highly- functioning GIS – from people to process – accompanied with a reasonable plan of execution respectful of agency funding and capacity.
The overall project goal is to enable workflow automation and produce a GIS RoadMap Plan that defines the critical path and steps necessary for the continued development and implementation of a Geographic Information System that will improve the Agency productivity and service. Focused project goals include:
• Centralize GIS data and avoid duplicate, disparate datasets • Establish data workflows to ensure field data makes it to the central office easily and is of consistent and high-quality
• Improve internal data sharing
• Establish data stewards
• Establish GIS governance
• GIS training and education
The resulting GIS RoadMap plan will provide a detailed view of the existing GIS data and systems and establish a vision for the future with core recommendations. The plan will examine existing spatial data and workflows, identify needed data, and analyze existing integration opportunities. These recommendations will be driven by Agency priorities and presented in a manageable plan that includes staffing, training, overall governance requirements, and a plan for workflow automation. At a high-level, this RoadMap plan will:
• Review existing systems, data, workflows, governance, and solutions in place • Understand and document prioritized future requirements • Identify opportunities for workflow improvement
• Identify points of integration
• Lead discussions and education through examples and peer best practices • Identify IT infrastructure improvements
• Recommend changes required in the GIS (data, structure, applications, etc.) to achieve and enhance required services and commitments
• Recommend changes in governance and operations to support and expand the role and use of GIS within the Agency
• Recommend new data layers and improvements to existing layers • Create a schedule and budget for implementing the GIS that fits within Agency’s financial and calendar parameters

FOREST GROVE | ENTERPRISE GIS PLANNING, MIGRATION,
CONSULTING, AND ARCGIS ONLINE PORTAL
The City of Forest Grove partnered with Timmons Group to employ our demonstrated expertise in designing and implementing Enterprise GIS Systems, converting existing geospatial data, and leveraging ArcGIS Online capabilities. The City initiated this effort with a GIS RoadMap project executed by our team. Based on the outcomes and recommendation of this planning effort, several high-priority projects and longer-term initiatives were identified. The RoadMap project was used to justify the need for a GIS manager position. The RoadMap plan was implemented parallel to hiring the GIS manager and focused on all aspects of the City’s GIS needs across Public Works, Utilities, Zoning, Planning, and other Departments.
Our team provides ongoing support for the City and its GIS environment. We work to ensure the GIS data and databases are tuned and performing as expected. This project also included a special focus on Data Quality Assurance / Control using automated tools and procedures.
Deliverables included in this project effort included:
• Business process and requirement analysis (GIS RoadMap) • Physical data model
• Data migration plan
• System design
• System workflows
• System implementation
• Data conversion
• Training
• ArcGIS Online Portal and administration training
• Collector for ArcGIS configuration and training
The City gained a fully functional enterprise GIS
system with all existing geospatial data available in the new system through this effort. The City’s project was
completed within a nine-month timeframe to encapsulate future additions and next steps in the following fiscal year’s budgeting process.
LOMPOC | GIS DATA CONVERSION
The City of Lompoc needed to convert its existing utility data from MicroStation to Esri’s Local Government Information Model (LGIM) in ArcGIS Pro.
LGIM Data Modeling
Timmons Group worked with the City to ensure the LGIM meets the data modeling needs.
Timmons Group held a Data Modeling workshop to address modifications to the LGIM with the City. This ensured that the features and attributes from both the existing GIS and the MicroStation files can be migrated to a feature class and field in the final database. This also involved the cleanup and creation of domains as well as contingent attribute fields to ensure high data quality when the City edits in the new database.
Packet Page 331 of 1251Attachment 3 Page 75 of 120
GIS Services and Training
City of Fairfield
Page | 8
During this data modeling period, Timmons Group started to discuss topology rules with the City’s editors. Topology rules help guide both the migration and the topology or network that will be created to help with quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) workflow.
Migrate Existing GIS Data to the LGIM
Timmons Group takes a highly automated approach to data migration and quality control. This starts with the Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) process used to migrate data from one format to another (in this case, both non-LGIM GIS data and MicroStation files to an Esri geodatabase). This enables our data conversion lead to perform continuous improvement to the process. Because the process is highly repeatable, this allows our team to run multiple migration iterations, constantly reviewing ETL results and refining them. The formalized ETL approach enables our staff to evaluate and remediate fallouts, or those items that do not convert as anticipated in the process. Once we are satisfied that we have the best possible ETL approach in place, our team will perform a final ETL migration into the modified LGIM geodatabase.
The ETL process is only the first step in the process for migrating geospatial data. Once data resides in “draft form” in the geodatabase, there are several levels of data integrity checks-and- balances that ensure data quality.
Timmons Group also leverages Esri’s Data Reviewer Extension, a set of tools that are used to validate user-defined conditions within the data. Data Reviewer is highly customizable and enables our team to further identify and remediate data integrity issues in the draft database.
Data Reviewer enables our team to review, flag, and track attribute-level deficiencies and spatial issues in the data. This enables our team to collaborate with the City in a systematic way should questions arise surrounding issues in the existing data. Many of the Data Reviewer components defined in this stage ultimately make their way into future data management workflows that are developed for our clients.
Migrate MicroStation Files to the LGIM
A similar process to the one used to migrate the existing GIS data into the LGIM was used to migrate the MicroStation files as well. We created an ETL process that migrates each feature from MicroStation, matches it to the MSSQL record to receive attributes, and then writes it into the LGIM database. Timmons Group worked with the City to ensure that each layer from each MicroStation file was migrated to the correct feature class within the LGIM.
The ETL process was also used to automate several functions that decreases the time needed for QA and manual corrections. This includes snapping features together, merging lines, and automating attribution. The ETL can also create logging in the form of counts for each feature going in and coming out.
Annotation (Linked and Non-Linked)
Annotations were requested but not recommended as, in most cases, they are simply not necessary and result in additional data maintenance. Dynamic labeling will better serve the City’s labelling needs and result in less work as well. Timmons Group will deliver a map file in ArcGIS Pro format with configured dynamic labels.

Update GIS Data from As-builts
Timmons Group is under the impression that there is presently a single as-built which needs to be migrated to the new GIS system. As there is only one project, this will likely be a manual process undertaken by our staff following the migration effort. It is assumed this is a PDF or similar file.
QA/QC (Manual & Data Reviewer Checks) in ArcGIS Pro Format Timmons Group will configure Reviewer Rules and/or Validation Attribute Rules to ensure the data has correct connectivity. Depending on the data, a database topology will be created and configured with topology rules to support the validation of the migrated data.
Following the approval of the rules by the City, Timmons Group editors will use the configured checks to correct any data issues. It is expected during a migration from CAD-type software to GIS that there will be connectivity gaps. Timmons Group will work to correct these as much as possible, while making as few assumptions as possible about the data. The ease of this, and the extent to which the data can be corrected, will depend on the quality of the MicroStation files.
Grid-based Maps for City’s QA/QC
While Timmons Group recommends the use of Data Reviewer and Validation Attribute Rules rather than a grid-based map, we will configure and deliver a map file that references the migrated data as well as a grid feature to guide the City’s analysts through QA/QC processes.

Public Conservation Awareness Program
Timmons Group assisted the County with its Water Usage Campaign by creating, developing, and publishing content that focused on decreasing landscaping water usage on new home construction. Content targeted the north east area of the County with the goal of encouraging action for changing aggressive irrigation schedules. We accomplished this by:
• Expanding the St. Johns County Utilities Department social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram) by posting industry-related news, St. Johns County Utility updates, and information to empower the public and St. Johns County residents to become conservation leaders.
• Creating a cohesive design appearance that falls within the St. Johns County brand and creates an overall consistent voice and tone for communications. • Expanding the social media engagement of customers and users in the region. • Establishing and maintaining a frequency of St. Johns County posts on social media platforms.
• Determining and engaging local social media powerhouses to create reciprocal relationships.
Capital Assets Data Migration
Timmons Group assisted the County with migrating its capital asset data from the existing Microsoft Access Database to a relational geodatabase. This involved converting the data into a file geodatabase schema containing non-spatial tables and a feature dataset to hold relational object features. Timmons Group then assessed the data to determine the scope of required clean up.
Water Conservation Awareness Applications and Data
Timmons Group developed data and applications to support the County’s Water Conservation Awareness Program using ArcGIS Online Web Application, building GeoForms, and creating StoryMaps. Timmons Group also supported the County on an as-needed basis designing, developing, editing, and maintaining GIS data.
GIS Data Quality and Standards
Timmons Group worked with the County on the following:
• GIS Needs Audit – determined the extent of attribution that is necessary for features in the water, wastewater, and reuse data model. This process will be led by Timmons Group personnel over the course of several remote workshops which will include all pertinent stakeholders from St. Johns County. These workshops will cover Water, Wastewater and Reuse systems.

APPENDIX C: PROJECT MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGY
MANAGEMENT APPROACH
Timmons Group provides the following Project Management services throughout the duration of each project:
• Perform Business meeting(s) (in person or conference calls) • Develop, in cooperation with the client Project Manager, a detailed Project Plan and Schedule
• Proactively manage and update Project Plan and Schedule, as required, throughout the duration of the Project. Project Plan and Schedule modifications will be facilitated on common agreement between the client and the team Project Manager • Coordinate project events with the client Project Manager and team members • Author, edit, review, and distribute project documentation and technical reports, as required
• Facilitate in-process review meetings with the client Project Manager and end-users as scheduled, and appropriate, throughout the duration of the project • Perform miscellaneous project administration (e.g., internal project updates), and • Anticipate problem areas then propose and facilitate solutions Project Plan
Each project is defined and managed by a Project Plan. Our Project Plan is based on a proven template and includes the project scope, schedule, deliverables, and fee. The project plan is based on the requested scope of work and our team’s proposed response, refined through negotiations with the client. The Project Plan is a living document that can evolve, though mutual agreement of the client and Timmons Group, as the project progresses.
Issue/Action Item Management
During the project, the Project Manager will maintain a detailed issue/ action item tracking log.
This will include issue details, issue status, issue assignments, and issue resolution details.
Action items will be tracked in a similar fashion. The client Project Manager is encouraged to contribute issue/action items to the list. This list will be presented to the client Project Manager on a periodic basis, as agreed to by the client and team Project Manager, using the Project Progress Report (see below). This is normally done as part of a regularly scheduled project status report work process.
Risk Management
Risk Management is a
fundamental project management
element for Timmons Group
projects. It is critical to ensure a
level of contingency preparation
should a risk become a reality.
During the risk management
process, likely risks associated
Packet Page 345 of 1251Attachment 3 Page 89 of 120
GIS Services and Training
City of Fairfield
Page | 22
with the implementation of the project are identified, along with their project impact and mitigation strategies.
User Acceptance Testing
User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is the time when users get to "kick the tires" of the project deliverables to ensure they reflect the requirements and design specifications set out in the contract. The user acceptance timeline will be outlined as part of the overall project work plan.
This will include a detailed listing of UAT tasks, clearly delineating those that Timmons Group expects client personnel to perform.
Change Management
During the project, changes to the project plan may be required. Our change management process is designed to address these changes head-on, document them, and ensure they are reflected in an updated set of tasks. In some cases, the proposed change will affect schedule, costs, and scope. Should this occur, the Change Management Process will be used to manage expectations and clearly convey and document the impacts of such decisions on project scope, deliverable, schedule, and cost.
PROJECT COMMUNICATION TOOLS
We have a proven project communications process and plan that keeps your staff fully informed of the project progress. The project team uses a variety of project management tools throughout the project lifecycle, including:
• Microsoft Project – for schedule management
• Web-based Project Portal – for client communications and project document storage • Secure FTP project folder or Dropbox folder – for data and program transfers • Secure test environments – for software and data review and acceptance • Subversion or Team Foundation Server (TFS) – for application code management • TRAC or HP Quality Center – for application and data issue/bug tracking

METHODOLOG Y FOR SERVICES
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND OBJECTIVES
The City of Fairfield, California (City) has a GIS that is well maintained and actively used. The City Community Development Department recognizes that it is now time to update its GIS Database to reflect the latest needs and goals of Development and Gener al Planning for the City using the latest data trends and advancements. The outcome of this department recognition should be a full GIS Database with Governance Documentation and Training for the appropriation of the City’s Community Development.
This GIS Data Service project is scheduled to work in conjunction with the City Master Plan (Location Strategy) effort. The VESTRA Team (VESTRA and FEC) all take pride in performing meticulous and high-quality work. Our solutions and planning processes are carefully tailored for the client’s specific needs, including all system integrations to keep the City GIS fluid between departments, in accordance with the collaborative City GIS Vision and Mission. We have found success and built a solid reputation based on thi s approach. It is hoped that the following knowledge, skills, and abilities will reflect the wants and needs of the City’s Community Development Department (CDD or Department).
SCOPE BASED KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES
The following is the technical work experience and methodical approach that will be used toward meeting the City CDD goals and objectives. The manufacture of an advanced GIS Database for CDD purposes will be phased by process and technical milestones will each be presented as a reference appendix by letter following the core of the Location Strategy TASK 1: KICKOFF MEETING
A core effort in this process is to get to know the constituents. VESTRA’s team will begin the project with an up to two (2) hour kickoff meeting, with the City’s CDD project team. This meeting will be conducted as a conference call using GoToMeeting, Skype, or similar screen sharing software and is designed to review and confirm the project scope of work, schedule, and budget; and establish guidelines and reach an agreement on protocols for change control, communications, and project closing processes, as needed.
VESTRA will submit summarized meeting notes including any minor changes to scope, schedule or budget (if applicable), agreed upon protocols for change control, communications, and project closing processes (as needed) for review and formal acceptance by the City.
TASK 2 : DATA MIGRATION AND UPDATE
ORGANIZATIONAL DATA ASSESSM ENT
In this task, VESTRA’s team will gather information about the City CDD by evaluating day to day work flows and analyzing what the Department finds useful and how some contributions may improve the GIS data. This process will help gather preliminary inf ormation about the Department’s primary business objectives, business processes, workflows, existing data, and Packet Page 357 of 1251Attachment 3 Page 101 of 120
City of Fairfield, California

applications used, along with needs and gaps in these areas. VESTRA’s team, will analyze information gathered during the research phase and prepare itself for the interview phase of the needs assessment.
The interview phase of this task may be conducted over two (2) days consecutive days on-site or in a virtual environment, if necessary. There may be another vendor selected for the GIS Master Plan, in that case it is assumed that follow up materials will be available, including verified reports of the specific department analysis. During this time VESTRA will have more specific and in-depth discussions with the primary individuals involved in the City CDD workflows. VESTRA will seek to build on the information already gathered and discover more about the existing situation, gaps, and future needs related to GIS. The discussions will be interactive where VESTRA will not only ask questions but seek to (as t ime allows) elicit feedback and ideas and contribute by relating examples from experience, industry trends and practices.
During the evaluation of the Department, VESTRA’s team will identify core datasets, nature of the data, how data is used, and applications, workflows, business processes and business objectives supported by the data. In addition, VESTRA ’s team will review the current enterprise geodatabase and layers within the City, and data maintenance to make a comparison to identify the gaps is usage or delivery so appropriate governance procedures may be developed and followed. Key business objectives and associated business processes being performed will be identified along with data workflows or applications that should be integrated or converted to a GIS base so that business processes are more efficient and effective, and business objectives are met.
During the Department evaluation, VESTRA’s team will identify opportunities where existing GIS staff can enhance support for data maintenance for business processes. In addition, VESTRA’s team will identify opportunities for training departmental staff with using GIS software and applications, as applicable, and allocate resources to promote efficient maintenance, accessibility, usage, and sponsorship of the GIS. The most important piece of this review is where each staff is getting data. Questions regarding communication with other departments and external sources will be evaluated to ensure a centralized data governance within the organization. Such an effort has been successfully conducted with the City of Elk Grove combining the services of VESTRA and FEC to accomplish the goals of the City.
COLLOCAT ION AND CENTRALIZATION OF USER DATA AND DOCUMENTATION With a direct point of contact, VESTRA’s team will setup a standard folder structure within the City’s environment (e.g. File Server) that will store all scanned CDD documents in an organized pattern. Documents will be stored in folders named after the plan types (e.g. building, grading, special use, etc.). Within each plan type folder, documents will be arranged by Drawing Number. User datasets will also be consolidated and collocated into a staging fil e geodatabase for import into the City IT GIS Enterprise. The City CDD has multiple core datasets related to the base for the City IT GIS Enterprise – Parcels. These features are always maintained by a City for interdepartmental visualization and county assessment purposes.
It is strongly recommended, that the Parcel Base is maintained in a Parcel Fabric Editing Environment so the associated CDD layers may be aligned on the specific ground object Packet Page 358 of 1251Attachment 3 Page 102 of 120

assigned to that parcel. VESTRA’s team will conduct a full quality assurance of the current resources to maintain the associations between the Parcels and CDD asset and planning layers along with a gap analysis of the data transfer between the City and the County. This portion of the project is expected to be a large undertaking and will benefit from the VESTRA and FEC’s alliance experience from the City of Elk Grove but will also feature the explicit environmental planning and land development knowledge of Mr. Matt Fremont and Mr. Ryan Goodner -Belli and their associated abilities to provide priorities to this type of work.
LAYER DEVELOPMENT
During a combined meeting with the City IT and CDD, VESTRA’s team will also discuss the best path forward to house, develop, edit, and publish CDD GIS data. The VESTRA Team excels at data assessments. We provide a fully loaded data report that includes a data dictionary, verified metadata, ownership, currency, and limitations. The City has requested additional data governance within this report including update and maintenance r esponsibilities, and the levels of projected cost and effort to upgrade each layer to modern ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Online. The same product for the City IT GIS Enterprise will be delivered to the CDD as a data governance, with structure, schema, metadata, and associated best practices.
This portion of the project is expected to be an extreme undertaking and will benefit from the VESTRA and FEC alliance experience from the City of Elk Grove but will also feature the knowledge of Mr. Matt Fremont and Mr. Ryan Goodner-Belli and their associated abilities to provide priorities to this type of work. The example layers may include but are not limited to:
Character and Historic Preservation, Affordable Housing, Parcels, Land Use Designations, Zoning Districts, Special Districts, Residential Associations, Planned Use Developments, Subdivisions, Capital Improvements, Mass Transit, Interface Broadband Status, and American Disability Act Compliance. The nature of this data, how data is used, and applications, workflows, business processes and business objectives this data should support will be documented. In addition, VESTRA’s team will concurrently review the enterprise geodatabase and layers within the City, and data maintenance to make a comparison to identify the ga ps between IT and CDD to formulate the appropriate governance procedures to be developed and followed. It is assumed that if another vendor is selected that a report will have been furnished to the Department for review on this task.
The collocated file geodatabase will be transferred into the City GIS Enterprise with the appropriate user group and editing permissions for General Plan Update purposes. Each Layer will have an associated proposal layer to further institute a fluid General Plan process. To assist in this process VESTRA will provide capable GIS Technician level staff for on call editing and map production to make sure each layer is adequately represented in the GIS Enterprise.
TASK 3 : TEAM TECHNICAL ANALYSIS AND TRAINING
ORGAN IZATIONAL SKILLS ASSESSMENT
During a specified on-site or virtual day with the City CDD Staff, VESTRA’s team will conduct the evaluation of the CDD Staff and utilize the resulting information to develop a department data curriculum that easily transfers knowledge, skills, and abilities to sustain the City CDD GIS Data Packet Page 359 of 1251Attachment 3 Page 103 of 120
City of Fairfield, California
GIS Services and Training
Page | 10
for years to come. A gap analysis between ESRI standard training materials and the City staff training should be flexible as CDD documentation may incorporate tactical approaches and integrations above and beyond the commercial-off-the-shelf ESRI Suite. The knowledge basics for interview processes should be incorporated into the curriculum to allow the staff to find people with the appropriate knowledge and innovative thinking that contributes to a productive GIS institution. The base of the Curriculum will incorporate performance improvements, education about specific department integrations, and key communication points for emergency situations and disaster recovery planning. The resulting curriculum will be instituted into a GIS training directly available to CDD then available on the City IT Internal Portal. This training portal will also link to available training materials and courses available with an existing Enterprise Agreement. The goal of this portal and the current training to be provided by VESTRA is to provide key technical knowledge to maintain a GIS institution in the City for the overall support of a sustainable GIS Enterprise.
ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS TRAINING
The City CDD will have up to four (4) days of hands on and conceptual training from VESTRA’s team, and we will also discuss the current governance structure for GIS. This may include, but is not limited to, the administration, maintenance and support of the Enterprise GIS data and CDD sublayers. This includes guidelines for data stewardship, data maintenance and data release procedures, quality assurance protocols, data publishing strategies, internal support procedures, security, and communications. A key part of this training is to facilitate background knowledge from ESRI Free Structured Online Courses because the knowledge, skills, and abilities of Mr. Fremont and Mr. Goodner-Belli are advanced in concept and will require such material to bring CDD Staff up to ideal GIS maintenance abilities, while developing a training process that is not overwhelming to users.
Separate evaluations will be performed for IT and CDD. The training sessions are anticipated to include (but not limited to): primary business objectives, current use of GIS, and how GIS can enhance and add value to their business processes. In addition, VESTRA’s team will use identified opportunities for training to shape the departmental staff training using GIS software and applications, as applicable, and allocate resources to promote efficient maintenance, accessibility, usage, and sponsorship of the CDD GIS priorities. The result of this study will be an integral training, support, and staffing structure that will encompass a data workflow that benefits the entire organization.

Arthur Stackhouse
President / CEO
Sr. Project Manager and Solution Architect
Arthur Stackhouse is the President of VESTRA Resources, Inc., and has over 44 years of experience in GIS database development, implementation of GIS concepts and best practices, computer- hardware configuration, and the design, development, and implementation of enterprise geographic information systems.
Early in Mr. Stackhouse’s career he worked as a forester for a major timber company in California, developing silvicultural prescriptions and supervising road construction, logging, and reforestation efforts. His interest in forest planning and mapping led to an opportunity to develop a GIS for the timber company’s holdings during the mid- 1980’s, and later led to his becoming responsible for Information Technology throughout the company. In 1988, Mr. Stackhouse and a small group of fellow employees started VESTRA Resources; one of the first GIS services firms in the United States.
At VESTRA, Mr. Stackhouse has acted in a variety of project roles, from Project Manager to Lead Analyst, and even Python Programmer. Mr.
Stackhouse has participated as a senior member of VESTRA’s enterprise GIS team on a wide array of projects including GIS implementations in Calaveras, Napa, Mendocino, Lake, Lassen, and Contra Costa Counties. He has also been actively involved with GIS implementations at the San Francisco Public Utility Commission, Sonoma County Water Agency, and the California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development. Because of his experience, Mr.
Stackhouse provides senior level oversight and quality
assurance/quality control on many of VESTRA’s more complex projects. As the President of VESTRA, Mr. Stackhouse has overall responsibility for all projects undertaken by VESTRA, and coordinates the personnel, hardware, and software needed to complete each project.
In addition to his duties as President, Arthur has done an extensive amount of certified and custom training. For 20 years, Arthur was a successful certified Esri trainer before the partner training program was phased out by Esri in 2008. Arthur continues to provide custom GIS training to private clients and clients of all levels of government.
Representative Project Experience
Confidential Client, Formation Environmental
Arthur Stackhouse served as a Solution Architect providing subconsultant services to Formation Environmental to provide GIS training services to their confidential municipal utility client. The project involved developing curriculum and providing two training sessions for up to 20 attendees. The first training session, developed
Packet Page 364 of 1251Attachment 3 Page 108 of 120
Arthur Stackhouse
and conducted by Formation Environment, was for remote sensing technology, and focused training on shallow flooding wetness procedures and alternative remote sensing wetness procedures. The second training section, developed and conducted by Mr. Stackhouse of VESTRA, was for specialized training on the use of existing GIS technology tools and automation techniques for summarizing remote sensing data using ArcGIS and other toolsets. These training sessions were focused on empowering client staff to use remote sensing data in workflow and analysis tools.
VESTRA assisted Formation Environmental in the preparation of curricula, training materials, sample training data, and presentations materials for the Session Two Training on GIS Technology and Application, which included the following topics:
• GIS fundamentals using ESRI software (ArcGIS Pro) and data from client • Field data collection and field method workflows to publish and distribute data using ArcGIS Online/Collector/Survey123
• Geoprocessing models/scripts for repetitive tasks and analysis • WebGIS including workflows to publish and distribute GIS data for internal and/or external use (ArcGIS Pro/ArcGIS Online/Portal)
• ArcGIS JavaScript API used in LADWP's Web application development • 3D data and modeling using ArcGIS Pro/ArcGIS Online/Portal
GIS Strategic Plan, City of Sunnyvale, CA
Mr. Stackhouse was the Enterprise Architect for the City of Sunnyvale's GIS Strategic Plan project. The City has many departments that use and depend upon GIS for operations. The City also has a healthy GIS portal, but the City wanted to provide more end-user functionality and additional information to the public. The City contracted with VESTRA to complete a needs assessment and develop a GIS Strategic Plan.
VESTRA reviewed the current state, provided guidance on best practices, discussed future state options, and developed a strategic report covering all aspects of the City's current and future growth with regards to GIS.
Mr. Stackhouse assisted with the needs assessment and provided system integration oversight and design, participated in systems requirements gathering and enterprise architecture design, and translated business needs into solution architecture requirements. In addition, Arthur provided QA/QC for the needs assessment report and GIS Strategic Plan.
Enterprise GIS Strategic Plan, City of Cupertino, CA
Mr. Stackhouse was the Enterprise Architect for the development of an Enterprise GIS Strategic Plan for the City of Cupertino. With a good foundation in place, the City was looking to cast a vision and develop a strategy for how GIS could better serve the City by improving how it is used, implemented, leveraged and integrated as a technology and be highly visible within the organization over the next five years. VESTRA helped the City with a detailed roadmap and a phased implementation plan to meet City goals such as enhancing GIS service delivery with improved efficiency and effectiveness, expanding GIS accessibility and use, achieving a greater level of integration of the GIS with the City’s business systems, provide better support to City business processes, increase organizational awareness, visibility and department sponsorship for GIS, and implementing best in class GIS technology.
Mr. Stackhouse participated in the system requirements gathering and translated business needs into solution requirements. He provided expert guidance for the roadmap creation and helped align strategies to goals and visions. He also conducted QA/QC of the needs assessment report and GIS Strategic Plan for accuracy and completeness.

Arthur Stackhouse
GIS Strategic Plan and Implementation Services, City of Belmont, CA Mr. Stackhouse was the Enterprise Architect for the development of a three year Enterprise Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Strategic Plan for the City of Belmont. The City of Belmont had never developed a strategic plan for GIS; therefore, with GIS integrations and needs increasing, and with a focus on being progressive and providing better service to the employees and public, there was a desire to expand the use and availability of GIS throughout the organization. Mr. Stackhouse participated in the department interviews for the Enterprise GIS Assessment and provided guidance for system and architecture design for the GIS Strategic Plan.
Water Turn Off/On Field Application, City of Santa Maria, CA Mr. Stackhouse served as the Project Manager for the City of San Maria’s Water Turn Off/On Field Application. The City’s Department of Utilities Water Resources Operation and Maintenance Section was interested in improving their field crew’s efficiency by making information on disabling/enabling customer’s water service connections available online. Information on the status of the City’s water service connections were being maintained in a legacy system by the City’s Department of Administrative Services. The City had the capability of querying this system every thirty minutes, extracting address information for needed turn offs/ons, and sending this information to a Microsoft SQL table. Per the City's requirements, VESTRA developed an application that geocodes the addresses within this Microsoft SQL table and presents the results in an ArcGIS Online feature service making it available online and via mobile devices. This has enabled field crews the ability to access and edit the information from their smart phones utilizing Esri’s Collector for ArcGIS application. Mr. Stackhouse oversaw the entire project and provided guidance and QA/QC for the application development process to ensure that the application aligned with the City’s goals and visions.
Enterprise GIS Master Plan, City of Mountain View, CA
Mr. Stackhouse worked with the City of Mountain View to provide a needs assessment to determine the C ity of Mountain View’s current use of geospatial information and GIS technology, and to develop an effective guide for the City’s ongoing implementation of their GIS. This assessment included detailed recommendations with regard to development of a City-wide GIS management structure, transition to an Enterprise GIS architecture, development of a GIS Strategic (or Master) Plan, development and implementation of GIS Database Enhancement/Maintenance Plans, and overall recognition of City-wide staffing needs.
Cannabis Identification and Prioritization System, State Water Resources Control Board Mr. Stackhouse serves as the Project Manager on the Cannabis Identification and Prioritization System project for the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). The Cannabis Identification and Prioritization System (CIPS), acts as both a repository of geospatial information on grow locations and a tool for helping the agencies prioritize their regulatory efforts based on the potential impact individual grows are having on water resources, fish, and wildlife. VESTRA, working with Formation Environmental, was engaged in the development of CIPS.
Formation Environmental captured grow locations and developed raster datasets of percent slope, length of slope, evapotranspiration and proximity to surface water. These raster datasets were used along with information on the proximity of threatened fish and wildlife to model the level of threat associated with each grow, allowing the agencies to establish priorities for action.
VESTRA was responsible for the design and development of the system. This project required the system to leverage the SWRCB’s existing Esri Enterprise system. The development effort included a JavaScript web interface to be used by agency staff tasked with regulating Cannabis cultivation. The web interface and geoprocessing services are used to model the environmental threat based on the factors a user chooses to consider in their analysis, and the weight they associate with each factor.
Packet Page 366 of 1251Attachment 3 Page 110 of 120
Arthur Stackhouse
The web interface includes a quick at-a-glance dashboard, map viewer, editor, and modeler. The Python geoprocessing scripts are used in CIPS to provide the analytical modeling framework for the application.
Some of the python geoprocessing scripts run nightly as a scheduled task and some are run directly by the web application. There are numerous scripts that make up the modeling framework; however, at the core the scripts in CIPS are used to estimate the environmental threat of individual grows, develop weighted averages of an environmental threat, generate heat maps, and generate summary statistics.
In addition to managing the project, Arthur developed the geodatabase design underlying the CIPS application and wrote the geoprocessing scripts that establish the potential threat of the grows to the environment.
Imperial Irrigation District – Salton Sea Air Quality Mitigation Program Support, Formation Environmental Mr. Stackhouse serves as the Solution Architect for the Salton Sea Air Quality Mitigation (SS AQM) Program Support project. The SS AQM Program was developed by the Imperial Irrigation District to provide a comprehensive, science-based, and adaptive approach to address air quality mitigation requirements associated with the transfer of conserved water under the Quantification Settlement Agreement. The transfer reduces the volume of agricultural return flow to the Salton Sea, thereby exposing the playa and increasing the potential for dust emissions that could affect nearby communities.
VESTRA worked with Formation Environmental to develop a Data Portal in the Amazon Cloud (AWS) that provides a centralized repository where the authoritative data developed in the project is stored. Mr.
Stackhouse developed the geodatabase design for the repository and worked with the developers to establish a map service framework that makes it possible to have data that is added to the repository be immediately available in Data Portal web application without requiring additional code. Mr. Stackhouse also developed the 3D cache database design used in the 3D viewer and participated in database design for the PI-SWERL applications.
By having all of the data available within a set of interactive web applications, the Imperial Irrigation District is able to visualize the effects of the playa over time and how this is affecting the air quality surrounding the Salton Sea. The web applications provide the ability for users to see the affects over time utilizing a time slider and create scientific predictions for what could happen in the future.
CAL FIRE Management Activity Project Planning Event Reporter (CalMAPPER) Web Map Application California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) Mr. Stackhouse is the Project Manager for the CalMAPPER Application projects. The CalMAPPER and Re- Architecture projects involved adding functionality to CalMAPPER, an existing Web Map Application hosted by CAL FIRE. An ongoing effort has been underway within CAL FIRE to bring the department’s records from multiple resource management and fire prevention programs into a common database framework. The database framework has a spatial (GIS) component that facilitates mapping and monitoring of past project, assists in planning future program activities, and is readily available to emergency responders and resource management staff.
CAL FIRE Statewide CAD/AVL Roads Database, Northrop Grumman Mr. Stackhouse serves as the Project Manager for the CAL FIRE Statewide CAD / AVL Roads Database project for Northrop Grumman. VESTRA has extensive experience working with CAL FIRE data converting county roads feature classes to roads feature classes, the new roads features classes conform to the Altaris CAD’s requirements. For this project, VESTRA has developed an extensive library of over 100 Python scripts to programmatically address the common data errors in dispatch systems and the formatting needs necessary for incorporation into CAL FIRE’s CAD / AVL Roads Database. In addition to managing the project, Mr.
Packet Page 367 of 1251Attachment 3 Page 111 of 120

Stackhouse developed the majority of the scripts used by CAL FIRE and provided multiple knowledge transfer sessions with their staff.
Aquatic Invasive Plant Treatment (AIPT), California Department of Boating and Waterways (DBW) and Crowe LLP
Mr. Stackhouse serves as the Project Manager for the DBW AIPT project. In 2004, VESTRA worked with the DBW to assist in developing an Enterprise GIS for their Aquatic Weed Program. The system included a complete “field-to-back office” system that utilized ArcPAD and ArcSDE. In 2018, DBW contracted with VESTRA to upgrade this system to Esri’s latest technology (ArcGIS Portal, Survey123 and Collector).
In addition to acting as the Project Manager, Arthur designed and developed the surveys that will be used by DBW in the field and developed the scripts that are run nightly to QA/QC the data and prepare it to be uploaded into the historic record that is used for reporting and visualization. Once the DBS field data collection upgrade has been completed, DBW intends to begin investigation of the integration of image processing into their aquatic weed control program.
Regional GIS Platform-Feasibility Study, Shasta County Regional Transportation Agency, Redding, CA Mr. Stackhouse acted as the Senior Project Manager for the GIS Platform Feasibility Study. This study was an analysis related to the concept of a regional GIS data warehouse where spatial analysis, decision-making support, and a framework to develop custom tools and applications could be made available. Professionals from all eight region’s well-respected GIS community participated during each phase of the study, acting on behalf of their respective agency/organization and the greater region by way of the Far North Regional GIS Council.
The Feasibility Study was the region’s first step toward the compilation, standardization, and merging of many GIS data silos under one roof. The overarching goal of the effort is to minimize or eliminate the technological and informational barriers to coordinated regional planning. As the Senior Project Manager, Mr. Stackhouse was instrumental in developing the scope of the study, which included an exploration and evaluation of data needs, data standards, software and technology options, hosting and hardware options, and implementation strategies.
Business Process Re-Engineering, California Department of Transportation, Sacramento, CA Mr. Stackhouse provided high-level business intelligence support to Caltrans during their efforts to reevaluate their business processes. A Business Process Re-engineering was the first step towards envisioning a new system with more stream-lined processes, which will in turn facilitate major upgrades and/or replacements to one or more components of the existing system(s). Mr. Stackhouse used a structured approach for this re-engineering effort which helped ensure that core business functions were clearly addressed, and that future processes were supported. He worked with the stakeholder to identify gaps between the existing core processes as performed and these future processes. The methods used included project management, quality assurance, Michael Hammer’s BPR Method, and the Oracle CASE*Method.
eWRIMS—State Water Rights Information System, California State Water Resources Control Board The Web-based Enhanced Water Right Information Management System (eWRIMS) was developed to track information on water rights in California. eWRIMS contains information on water right permits and licenses issued by the State Water Board and other claimed water rights. eWRIMS is also a module of the State Water Board’s California Integrated Water Quality System (CIWQS) program. Arthur and his team developed a Web- based interactive mapping application which allows Water Board personnel to collect place-of-use data while in the office or field, supporting water right application and processing, and provides the following capabilities to the State Water Resource Control Board, Division of Water Rights: 1) Real-time access to water Packet Page 368 of 1251Attachment 3 Page 112 of 120
Arthur Stackhouse
rights data to both Water Board users internally and the general public; 2) Web-based GIS editing, allowing internal users to add, delete, and modify water right points of diversions through a Web-based interface; 3) Login and password security control for State Water Resource Control Board employees; and 4) Upstream and downstream searching of water rights within eWRIMS based on the geolocation of 20,000 place-of-use points which were linked by Mr. Stackhouse’s programming staff to statewide copy of the National Hydrographic Dataset. Arthur also oversaw the development, testing and deployment of a set of custom applications that support field-based GPS data collection of place-of-use information, including both desktop and mobile GPS application components.
Environmental and Cultural Review Application, California Department of Parks and Recreation As the Senior Project Manager, Mr. Stackhouse successfully supervised the completion of two Web-based applications that helped facilitate the incorporation of GIS technology into the day-to-day workflow for development and review of capital outlay projects at the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR). The first is the Environmental and Cultural Review Application (ECRA), a Web application was developed using JavaScript that supports DPR’s CEQA-related compliance work. The ECRA facilitates the internal Parks CEQA process, allowing users to track project status, review documents, create and edit project boundaries, and export CEQA-related documents. The second web application functions as a metadata catalog for digital and non-digital information housed at each individual park unit. There are two main tools: 1) Park units have the ability to upload metadata about files held at that specific unit, and can even upload the file if it exists in digital form, and 2) Allows users to access the metadata catalog for related documents from the CEQA/ECRA application. Arthur designed a geodatabase that housed the GIS information, as well as raster images, for various facilities through the park system. This design also provided a basic link to DPR’s existing facilities management application, MAXIMO by MRO Software.
