Infor EAM has an ArcGIS ArcMap extension that is used to populate a field called GISOBJID with a unique value for each feature class object. The GISOBJID field is used by the Infor EAM system to link feature class objects in the GIS with the EAM database. The GISOBJID is the only attribute in the GIS used by EAM. EAM uses GIS as a means of locating and visualizing the locations of assets. All other data used by EAM resides in EAM. EAM has its own map interface. Information that resides in EAM may be viewed / queried in the GIS via joins or relates to tables or views. Does this knowledge change your understanding of the scope of the project? 2. Explain how the NPDES Phase II outfall mapping requirements will be implemented into t storm system mapping project. Detail field and/or office data collection specifics proposed that should account for data collection efficiency and data accuracies while providing dgetary savings. 3.

No questions will be accepted after Friday, January 16 at 4:00 p.m. The City will post all answered questions within the Buzzsaw ftp site. History Early 1990's: The mapping was originally done by field crews and was drawn in AutoCAD by estimating the location. Only main lines and structures were mapped. Mid 1990's: Main lines and structures were added to the map by"eyeballing" locations based on record drawings. Late 1990's - Early 2000's: Mapping was done in AutoCAD by adding features over inserted TIF images. Only main lines were mapped. Elevations and other attributes such as pipe diameter, length and material were kept in a MS Excel spreadsheet. Mid to Late 2000's: Structures, facilities, and pipes were mapped with all lines and data was kept in a MS Access database that was converted from the MS Excel spreadsheet. 2008: TIF images are inserted in AutoCAD then brought into ArcMap. Features and associated data are contained in an ESRI ArcGIS Geodatabase. The attribute fields are based on the data that was previously collected. A bound mapbook is produced annually. Current Status There is a combination of NAVD88 and NGVD29 elevations in the database. As-built drawings are available as TIF images and also in hardcopy format. The City currently does not require electronic versions of as-built drawings from private developers. We are going back through all past record drawings and correcting geographic locations of assets and adding lateral lines. New data from recent as-builts are also being added. Questions and Responses to this RFP Project Various consultants have asked the following questions. The City responses are in `italics'. 1. One way of getting detailed attribute information for storm collection and conveyances (pipes, swales, detention ponds, inlets, and etc.) is from their original design or as-built drawings. Are their as-built drawings available with the city for most of the storm system or should all of the information be collected through field data collection. If as-built information is available - would the city have an approximate count of the number of projects that may need to be reviewed? Most of our existing storm attribute information has been populated from as-built and record information with limited City GPS mapping. (See GIS materials H:\File Sys\SWP-Surface Water Projects\SWP-27-Surface Water Projects(CIP)\27-3472 Storm Mapping Projects 113 City RFP- Info\090105-Q-A l.doc\STLtp provided in Buzzsaw.) Portions of this project include field and office mapping work that will use existing accurate information already mapped and collect additional information not mapped or information suspected to be inaccurate. The City has years of data mapped so it is unknown exactly how much accurate information exists. In addition, the variability of the data has been collected from different DATUMs. There are approximately 1700 project record drawings in the City's filing system, but much of the City's mapping system may be un-recorded. 2. What percent of the existing GIS storm information can be considered as meeting the geometric accuracy precision required (i.e. less than 1 foot horizontal)? The City is unsure of our current system's accuracy because of information collected via very old recordings, different datums, and very limited field mapping. Therefore, the need of this RFP request for mapping services. The last 10 years of projects have better horizontal and vertical accuracies that meet our geometric precision. 3. The existing storm GIS dataset has a significant amount of attribute information. For example, more than 75% of conveyances have size information and 50%have upstream and downstream elevation, etc. Can this information be deemed as correct or will they need to be checked and re-entered for the project? Assume this information will need to be checked within ROWs and City-owned properties, unless the consultant can propose an alternative method to confirm the data is correct and meets our accuracy requirements. 4. What kind of GPS equipment does the City have that will be available for use in this project? The City has Trimble 5700 GPS equipment (dual band) that might be useable for some field mapping. We assume whatever equipment the consultant possesses will be the primary data collection equipment. The consultant should list their proposed equipment within the proposal. In addition, the City uses ArcGIS 9.2 and will be upgrading to 9.3 by the time the scope of work and contract is agreed upon for this project. The consultant should also list what they are going to propose as their GIS software to be used. 5. Will the City staff be editing the SDE Storm Geodatabase during the duration of the project? Yes, we will continue to edit the geodatabase. Currently, we are inputting horizontal attributes only and should have most (or all) of the horizontal mapping completed from record drawings. These record drawings data is correcting H:\File Sys\SWP-Surface Water Projects\SWP-27-Surface Water Projects(CIP)\27-3472 Storm Mapping Project\1113 City RFP- Info\090105-Q-A 1.doc\STLtp previously incorrect storm system information. The City continues to input new as- built records with full data attributes. 6. In Task F, you have specified 3 deliveries. Can Task F-2 and F-3 be combined as one delivery? Yes, this can be one deliverable. 7. Who is going to measure some of the things like sump depth, sediment depth presence of oil, etc.? Will this be included in the decades of field maintenance verified data, or is this something the City staff will be collecting or will the selected contractor be responsible for the collection of this data? Different consultants will have different capabilities and costs to collect this data. Propose collecting this data within the proposal if your firm is capable of collecting this data. The City is interested in this data for maintenance and operation purposes. If the data is required as part of the NPDES Phase II permit for Western Washington, then most likely inclusion of the data will be very useful as part of your proposal (see Attachment B's Sample List). 8. The City of Renton has not adequately described the positional accuracy requirements, and we would like further clarification. FGDC NSDSI standards are referenced by the City; however those are primarily based on a map scale, so we need to know what the desired map scale is going to be? FGDC standards are just general guidelines established by a Federal Committee. The RFP document (which contains horizontal and vertical accuracy needs) and this explanation,provides more information for accuracies `wanted'within the proposal. Also note that the City currently produces map books of our storm system in ]"=400' (see Attached pdf sheet from our Storm System Mapbook). The following is some more information of what we are expecting as part of the proposal. Within the City there are 13 NGS monuments that can be used to verify collected information as well as other local control points/monuments that can be used to verify network horizontal position, ellipsoidal height, and orthometric height to comply with contract accuracies. Currently, the City uses NAD83 for positional- horizontal datum and NAVD88 for our vertical datum. FGDC accuracy F `standards'for 95%confidence will be followed with horizontal position, ellipsoidal height, and orthometric height accuracies determined within the s ope , of work document to be prepared as show a ul t o Tact.

H:\File Sys\SWP-Surface Water Projects\SWP-27-Surface Water Projects(CIP)\27-3472 Storm Mapping Project\1113 City RFP- Info\090105-Q-A 1.doc\STLtp Please note: Regardless of how the observations for a particular survey are to be obtained, the completed surveys should try to provide the following information: • Elimination or reduction of known and potential systematic error sources. • Sufficient occupational and observational redundancy to clearly demonstrate the stated accuracy. • Adequate baseline processing and evaluation, network (least squares) adjustment, and data evaluation. • Sufficient documentation to allow verification of the results. 9. Is the City of Renton looking for a preferred collection methodology? No, the City of Renton is not set on any collection method, devices, etc. (See RFP document for how the City intends on using this collected information.) In addition, the City has not worked with any past consultants for this type of work; so all consultants will be evaluated equally. 10. For pond and R/D facilities, what is the City looking for in regards to collecting attribute data? The City currently has 83 publicly maintained R/D facilities and water quality vaults. We would like to get information on the control structures, inlet/outlet type and elevations, overflow elevations, type of control structure, etc. (See attached RFP Attachment `B'for sample attribute list. Pond R/D facilities may be determined as part of the Business Plan document.) 11. I have a few questions regarding Task C of the RFP, which pertains to the meta- table SCHEMA redesign. I was wondering if you could provide me with additional information on your current schema? What platform is the current schema developed on(i.e. do you use something out of the box, or has this been written using a programming language to function within a specific database structure?) What about your current schema is not working, or is the City just looking to expand the capabilities within the current framework? The schema was put together from existing data previously collected when we were using the AutoCAD/MS Access method. It was developed in-house with basic tools from ArcGIS. We are looking for the consultant to recommend/implement a SCHEMA that would work efficiently with our necessary attributes in order to represent the stormwater system accurately. The SCHEMA can be brand new or with some modifications from our existing SCHEMA.

We would like to get information on the control structures, inlet/outlet type and elevations, overflow elevations, type of control structure, etc. See attached RFP Attachment `B'for sample attribute list. Pond RID.facilities may be determined as part of the Business Plan document. 11. I have a few questions regarding Task C of the RFP, which pertains to the meta- table SCHEMA redesign. I was wondering if you could provide me with additional information on your current schema. What platform is the current schema developed on (i.e. do you use something out of the box, or has this been written using a programming language to function within a specific database structure?). What about your current schema is not working, or is the City just looking to expand the capabilities within the current framework. The schema was put together from existing data previously collected when we were using the AutoCAD/MS Access method. It was developed in-house with basic tools from ArcGIS. We are looking for the consultant to recommend/implement a SCHEMA that would work efficiently with our necessary attributes in order to represent the stormwater system accurately. The SCHEMA can be brand new or with some modifications from our existing SCHEMA. QUESTIONS I REPONSES SHEET #1 : (JANUARY 5, 2009) The City will accept written questions up until one week prior to Friday, January 23`d submittal cutoff. (No questions will be accepted after Friday, January 16t" at 4pm.) The City will post all answered questions within the Buzzsaw ftp site. History The mapping was originally done by field crews in the early 90's and was drawn in AutoCAD by estimating the location. Only main lines and structures were mapped. Mid-90's, main lines and structures were added to the map by "eyeballing" locations based on record drawings. Late 90's up until early 2000's, mapping was done in AutoCAD by adding features over inserted TIF images. Only main lines were mapped. Elevations and other attributes such as pipe diameter, length and material were kept in a MS Excel spreadsheet. Mid to late 2000's, structures, facilities and pipes were mapped with all lines and data was kept in a MS Access database that was converted from the Excel spreadsheet. The past year, TIF images are inserted in AutoCAD then brought into ArcMap. Features and associated data are contained in an ESRI ArcGIS Geodatabase. The attribute fields are based on the data that was previously collected. A bound mapbook is produced annually. Current Status There is a combination of NAVD88 and NGVD29 elevations in the database. As-Built drawings are available as TIF images and also in hardcopy format. The City currently does not require electronic versions of as-built drawings from private developers. We are going back through all past record drawings and correcting geographic locations of assets and are also adding lateral lines. New data from recent as-builts are also continually being added. The following are questions and answers to this RFP project: Questions asked by various Consultants with City responses in `italics'. 1. One way of getting detailed attribute information for storm collection & conveyances (pipes, swales, detention ponds, inlets etc) is from their original design or as-built drawings. Are there as-built drawings available with the city for most of the storm system or should all of the information be collected through field data collection. If as built information is available - would the city have an approximate count of the number of projects that may need to be reviewed. Most of our existing storm attribute information has been populated from as-built and record information with limited City GPS mapping. (See GIS materials provided in Buzzsaw.) Portions of this project include field and office mapping work that will use existing accurat information already mapped and collect additional information not mappe or information suspected to be inaccurate. The City has years of data mapp so it is unknown exactly how much accurate information exists. In additio e data has been collected from different DATU e thin t a ound 400 project as-builts in t e ity s i r ystem, with most of th om private projects. f C& 2. What percent of the existing GIS storm information can be considered as meeting the geometric accuracy precision required (i.e. less than 1 foot horizontal)? The City is unsure of our current system's accuracy because of information collected via very old recordings, different datums, and very limited field mapping. Therefore the need of this RFP request for mapping services. The last 10 years projects have better horizontal and vertical accuracies that meet our geometric precision. 33 The existing storm GIS dataset has a significant amount of attribute information. For example, more than 75%of conveyances have size information and 50%have upstream and downstream elevation etc. Can this information be deemed as correct or will they need to be checked and reentered for the project. Assume this information will need to be checked within ROWS and City owned properties only. unte.i ya0 c-^ /-16,'mv An W 1�..^.,� r t h Oa.4. is GvvAp L *r�A 1--� cry✓ h4--w� 4. What kind of GPS equipment does the City have that will be available for use in this project? The City has Trimble 5700 GPS equipment (dual band) that might be useable for some field mapping. We assume whatever equipment the consultant possesses will be the primary data collection equipment. The Consultant should list their proposed equipment within the proposal. In addition, the City uses ArcGIS 9.2 and will be upgrading to 9.3 by the time the scope of work and contract is agreed upon for this project. The Consultant should also list what they are going to propose as their GIS software to be used. 5. Will the City Staff be editing the SDE Storm Geodatabase during the duration of the project? Yes, we will continue to edit the geo-database. Currently we are inputting of r Chor7izontalattributes only and should have most(or all) of the horizontal on f®rr }o J��uSly P e.,1 A-4,.,, t, 6. In Task F, you have specified 3 deliveries. Can Task F-2 and F-3 be combined as one delivery? Yes, this can be one deliverable. 7. Who is going to measure some of the things like sump depth, sediment depth presence of oil, etc.? Will this be included in the decades of field maintenance verified data, or is this something the City staff will be collecting or will the selected contractor be responsible for the collection of this data? Different consultant ( ) will have different capabilities and costs o co ect t is data. Propose co ecting this data within the proposal if your firm is capable of collecting this data to be included within the database. The City will not be providing this information. If the data is required as part of the NPDES Phase II permit for Western Washington, then most likely inclusion of the data will be very useful as part of your proposal (see attachment B's sample list). If the Consultant deems certain attribute information as not needed within the NPDES Phase II Permit ei'-for future hydraulic modeling, 0 Adv purposes, then explain the reasoning within the proposal. 8. The City of Renton has not adequately described the positional accuracy requirements, and we would like further clarification. FGDC NSDSI standards are referenced by the City; however those are primarily based on a map scale, so we need to know what the desired map scale is going to be? Yes,you are correct. FGDC standards are just general guidelines established by a Federal Committee. The following is more information for accuracies `wanted' r within the proposal. Also note that the City currently produces map books of our storm system in I"=400' (see attached pdf sheet from our storm system mapbook). The following is some more information of what we are expecting as 4 part of the proposal. Within the City are 13 NGS monuments that can be used to verify collected information as well as other local control points/monuments that can be used to verify network horizontal position, ellipsoidal height, and orthometric height to comply with contract accuracies. Currently the City uses NAD83 for positional- horizontal datum and NAVD88 for our vertical datum. FGDC accuracy `standards'for 95%confidence will be followed with horizontal position, ellipsoidal height, and orthometric height accuracies determined within the scope of work document to be prepared as part of the consultant contract. The consultant submitting the proposal can submit their accuracies proposed based off of the Federal Geographic Data Committee's "Geospatial Positioning Accuracy Standards, "FGDC-STD-007-1998. Please note the City would `like' to receive vertical accuracies in the lower FGDC Range VII classification. �tJ"r Please note: Regardless of how the observations for a particular survey were obtained, the completed surveys should try to provide the following �Y or • elimination or reduction of known and potential systematic error sources • Sufficient occupational and observational redundancy to clearly demonstrate the stated accuracy • adequate baseline processing and evaluation, network(least squares) adjustment, and data evaluation • sufficient documentation to allow verification of the results. 9. Is the City of Renton looking for a preferred collection methodology? No, the City of Renton is not set on any collection method, devices, etc. See RFP document for how the City intends on using this collected information. In addition, the City has not worked with any past Consultants for this type of work, so all Consultants will be evaluated equally prior to the proposal. 10. For pond and R/D facilities what is the City looking for in regards to collecting attribute data? The City currently has 83 publicly maintained R/D facilities and water quality -s } vaults. We would like to get information on the control structures, inlet/outlet type and elevations, overflow elevations, type of control structure, etc. See attached RFP Attachment `B'for sample attribute list. ?'w o f- 11.

The mapped data needed from the consultant will be need to meet established accuracy standard and shall be of a geospatial format to be fully incorporated into the City's existing GIS system. This asset inventorying project will provide information to allow the City SWU staff to make better decisions and plans for replacing, maintaining, or upgrading existing infrastructure, used in future storm-water modeling efforts, customer service information, development review and permitting, Phase II NPDES permit compliance, and be a valuable tool for disaster recovery. The successful consultant (or contractor) will be responsible for collecting data, interpreting data, input, design (re-design), and integration into the City's existing GIS (ESRI ArcGIS). The consultant will also be responsible for software/hardware integration, training, and assistance with the installation process. Training and procedure development for both ongoing maintenance and updates of the system will be expected, as well as compatibility with the City's existing software and operating systems. City of Renton,Washington The City of Renton is generally located in Western Washington immediately east of Lake Washington, approximately 15 miles southeast of Seattle, 7 miles south of downtown Bellevue, north of Kent, and is immediately south of Newcastle, Washington. Renton is a community of more than 80,000 residents with another 35,000 people employed within the city limits. The City is approximately 22.9 square miles in size and maintains approximately 380 centerline miles of roadway(see Attachment A for City location and boundaries). This approximate centerline miles total includes the recent Benson Hill Area, Liberty, and New Life Aquabarn annexation areas within its corporate boundary limits. 2.0 Summary Scope of Work The City currently lacks a"true" inventory of its existing public storm system infrastructure located within the City right-of-ways and is seeking a consultant/contractor to verify storm system asset information within City right-of-ways. The City is requesting proposals and Statement of Qualifications (SOQs) for a storm system field mapping project from a consultant/contractor(herein after termed Consultant) to improve it's database and mapping in a form that will allow seamless integration with the City's current ESRI GIS system and the City's asset management software, Infor EAM. The City requests a refined scope be developed and submitted as part of the proposal by the consultant with defined methods, techniques, software to be utilized, integration methodology with the City software/hardware, deliverables, and a detailed schedule. Page 1 of 13 3.0 Background Information The City of Renton Surface Water Utility Division maintains an existing inventory of storm system assets from various types of information collected from County annexed records, private and public project as-builts with different converted datums, and field maintenance verified data collected over the last two decades. This City inputted data has been inserted into the City's existing geo- referenced mapping system(ESRI ArcGIS) which should serve as an useful tool to guide the consultant crew(s) in collecting new, supplemental and/or verifying data collected from the field. The City of Renton has budget available from the City approved 2008 and 2009 budget to comply with the Phase II NPDES permit. The total approved budget available is $500,000 (approximate) for this storm inventory project. This budget includes City staff costs, equipment, and consultant fees. The City currently uses the following software: City of Renton utilizes ESRI ArcGIS version 9.2 (or later versions when the City upgrades their software in 2009). City of Renton currently uses Infor EAM as its maintenance management system. The consultant is encouraged to obtain existing electronic GIS information by contacting Gary Del Rosario, Surface Water Utility Engineering Specialist, via email at gdelrosario(a),ci.renton.wa.us or by calling 425-430-7267. The City can provide the following feature classes/files via the City's Buzzsaw ftp site once the consultant has contacted and been setup with an account by Mr. Del Rosario. The following will be the set of feature classes/files to be provided: - Parcel base - Street names - Centerlines - City limits - PAA boundary - Hydrology - MrSID aerial - Topography - Sewer network and structures -Water network and hydrants - Storm (structures, pipes, flow control, and ends/connections) 4.0 Goal of Stormwater Asset Inventory Database The goal of the SWU storm system asset inventory and database is to obtain an accurate and complete inventory of City-owned stormwater facilities for seamless integration with the City's existing ESRI ArcSDE Enterprise Geographic Information System and Infor EAM Maintenance Management System. All data collected shall overlay with the existing City GIS data in the form of Washington State Plane Coordinates,North American Datum, 1983 (NAD `83), latest adjustment (US Feet), and the North American Vertical Datum, 1988 (NAVD '88), latest adjustment. All data must meet National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) and Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) requirements. FGDC compliant metadata will be required for all data collected. Data collected, verified, and generated from field mapping shall be used to assist the City Surface Water Utility(SWU) in the City's Phase II National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(NPDES) Permit activities, as well as providing valuable information to the City's Operation, Engineering, and Maintenance activities. The collected data will also be capable of being used with future City modeling efforts, customer service information, and permitting(internal and external customers). Page 2 of 13 INFORMATION TO BE PROVIDED IN SOQs / PROPOSALS To be considered responsive, SOQs/Proposals must include the following information. To facilitate evaluation, SOQs/Proposals should be organized in the order of the outline below. Do not exceed 20 pages (single-sided), exclusive of resumes. The following Section 5.0 is a `general' scope of services by Task for this project. All of the following tasks are meant to serve as a general outline with a brief description provided by the City. The Consultant proposal should describe how these tasks will be accomplished and add detailed project approaches to each Task. The order of the following Tasks is recommended. Section 5.0 Proposal Outline TASK A: Meetings, Scheduling, &ProiectManagement: The Consultant shall meet with the City per the accepted Business Plan meeting schedule, and provide written weekly Progress Reports documenting work completed,problems, and upcoming work to be completed (long/short term). The progress report will document what was completed, how much work time was needed, equipment used, and copies of surveyed structure notes. Presentation materials, which describe the work performed on each task, shall be electronically available to the City for its sole discretionary use. Discuss specific tasks to be included in the Scope of Work and describe the proposed approach to complete each task. Provide a description of your organizational approach and how work is to be efficiently completed. Provide an organizational chart indicating how the firm's management will interface with this project. The project schedule shall not exceed twenty-four(24) months in duration with project time beginning at the "Notice to Proceed" after an agreed upon scope has been established between the Consultant and the City. The field mapping and acceptance of delivered data shall be divided into five distinct areas of the City with total deliverables provided at the end of each five divided areas. If project seems to be falling behind schedule, the project schedule will be updated(as required by the City) and changes submitted along with change management methodology proposed of how the schedule would be met. TASK B: Existing Data/Equipment/Software/Personnel Evaluation, Data Development Manual, Business Field Mapping Plan, and Change Management Plan: The City anticipates that a well planned process be proposed prior to starting work out in the field on collecting data. In addition, documentation of the project will be required prior to field activities starting, as well as establishment of acceptance criteria(s)by all stakeholders. The Consultant should consider benefit versus cost analyses of generating more accurate data as part of this task and present recommendations to the City. Prior to beginning work, the Consultant shall meet with appropriate City representatives to discuss all issues concerning data collection, verification of collected data, reviewing existing data, defining the design, and delivery. This task shall be completed prior to populating the geo-database with Page 3 of 13 new field collected information. The City will provide the Consultant with a Feature Attributes Specifications document(see Attachment B)that specifies the assets to be reported, along with the attributes to be collected for each asset. This document will also provide the Consultant a review of existing storm system GIS work completed by the City. The Consultant will research GIS information the City currently possesses and incorporate a plan to realize City storm mapping and inventory goals. The Consultant shall examine, evaluate, and inspect the usefulness of the City's existing GPS software, equipment, and other field locating equipment. This equipment shall be tested to determine its usefulness in assisting the Consultant and shall be factored in overall savings to the City project budget. The Consultant will also train City staff on the use of existing GPS locating equipment and provide input as to additional field hardware to assist in the City's future self- locating needs. The Consultant shall review the existing City surface water geo-spatial database that should be used as a ghost system for the Consultant to expedite data collection and be used as a field location guide. The Consultant shall determine which areas do not need mapping and evaluate if existing segments of data can be used in lieu of collecting new field data to assist in overall project cost savings. A Data Development Manual shall be developed by the Consultant to ensure deliverables meet City expectations and that future field and office procedures are consistent in the future. This document will be used by the City Surface Water Utility as the standard manual for field data collection and processing. The Consultant shall develop the manual and the City project manager will review and approve the manual. A series of workshops will be scheduled to provide/receive input into the manual, design, and field process for collecting data. This document shall be capable of being used by City personnel in the future in training future employees in collecting field data. The Consultant shall develop a Business Plan for the project that shall include how the Consultant will verify information, how QA/QC management is to be implemented in the field and office, and how change management would maintain the overall project schedule and budget by the Consultant. In addition, the Consultant will verify with the City on the precision/accuracy needed for each collected piece of information to be inserted into geo-spatial database. TASK C. SCHEMA Redesi The City currently has a meta-table SCHEMA format that should be used as a basis for setting up any potential future changes in a revised SCHEMA. The Consultant will assist and work with the City to modify the SCHEMA that should be in a form that seamlessly assists with future modeling, html publishing, maintenance/inspection record keeping, reporting for the City's NPDES permit, and integration with other City data. The City currently maintains a geo-referenced storm inventory system that can be used as a backdrop while gathering data in the field. The Consultant should present what will be included within the SCEMA redesign, process, etc. Some items that may be included would be geo referenced pictures, tiff files, survey notes, etc. TASK D: Sample Pilot Data Development Area, Collection, and Evaluation: Once the City has approved TASK A, B, and C, a pilot data set sample area will be mapped and recorded for a minimum of one centerline mile divided between a minimum of two separate streets. For the selected SWU coverage area(s) to be determined between the City and the Consultant, a sample pilot study area will be processed fully. The final deliverable will be equivalent to the final geo-database product. During the field mapping task, the Consultant will work with the City to ensure accurate data and provide the City confirmation of the project schedule and it's various Page 4of13 deliverables.

City of Renton, Washington The City of Renton is generally located in Western Washington immediately east of Lake Washington, approximately 15 miles southeast of Seattle, 7 miles south of downtown Bellevue, north of Kent, and is immediately south of Newcastle, Washington. Renton is a community of more than 80,000 residents with another 35,000 people employed within the city limits. The City is approximately 22.9 square miles in size and maintains approximately 380 centerline miles of � ) roadway (see Attachment A for City location and boundaries). This approximate centerline miles total includes the recent Benson Hill Area, Liberty, and New Life Aquabarn annexation areas within it's corporate boundary limits. 2.0 Summary Scope of Work The City currently lacks a "true" inventory of it's existing public storm system infrastructure located within the City right-of-ways and is seeking a consultant/contractor to verify storm system asset information within City right-of-ways. The City is requesting proposals and Statement of Qualifications (SOQs) for a storm system field mapping project from a consultant/contractor (herein after termed consultant) to improve it's database and mapping in a form that will allow seamless integration with the City's current ESRI GIS system and the City's asset management V� software, Infor EAM. The City requests a refined scope be developed and submitted as part of the proposal by the consultant with defined methods, techniques, software to be utilized, integration methodology with the City software/hardware, deliverables, and a detailed schedule. C � 3.0 Background Information The City of Renton Surface Water Utility Division maintains an existing inventory of storm system assets from various types of information collected from County annexed records, private and Page 2 of 12 public project as-builts with different converted datums, and field maintenance verified data collected over the last two decades. This City inputted data has been inserted into the City's existing geo-referenced mapping system (ESRI ArcGIS) which should serve as an useful tool to guide the consultant crew(s) in collecting new, supplemental and/or verifying data collected from the field. The City of Renton has budget available from the City approved 2008 and 2009 budget to comply with the Phase II NPDES permit. The total approved budget available is $500,000 (approximate) for this storm inventory project. This budget includes City staff costs, equipment, and consultant fees. The City currently uses the following software: • City of Renton utilizes ESRI ArcGIS version 9.2 (or later versions when the City upgrades their software in 2009). • City of Renton currently uses Infor EAM as it's maintenance management system. The Consultant is encouraged to obtain existing electronic GIS information by contacting Gary Del Rosario via email (gdelrosario(ci-)ci.renton.wa.us and gdelrosarioCcD-rentonwa.gov), or by phone (425-430-7267). The City can provide the following feature classes/files via the City's Buzzsaw ftp site once the Consultant has contacted and been setup with an account by Mr. Del Rosario. The following will be the set of feature classes/files to be provided: - Parcel base - Street names - Center lines - City limits - PAA boundary - Hydrology - MrSID aerial - Topography - Sewer network and structures -Water network and hydrants - Storm (structures, pipes, flow control, and ends/connections) 4.0 Goal of Stormwater Asset Inventory Database The goal of the SWU storm system asset inventory and database is to obtain an accurate and complete inventory of City-owned storm-water facilities for seamless integration with the City's existing ESRI ArcSDE Enterprise Geographic Information System and Infor EAM Maintenance Management System. All data collected shall overlay with the existing City GIS data in the form of Washington State Plane Coordinates, North American Datum, 1983 (NAD `83), latest adjustment (US Feet), and the North American Vertical Datum, 1988 (NAVD '88), latest adjustment. All data must meet National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) and Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) requirements. FGDC compliant metadata will be required for all data collected. Data collected, verified, and generated from field mapping shall be used to assist the City Surface Water Utility (SWU) in the City's Phase II National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit activities, as well as providing valuable information to the City's Operation, Engineering, and Maintenance activities. The collected data will also be capable of being used with future City modeling efforts, customer service information, and permitting (internal and external customers).

This City inputted data has been inserted into the City's existing geo- referenced mapping system(ESRI ArcGIS)which should serve as an useful tool to guide the consultant crew(s)in collecting new, supplemental and/or verifying data collected from the field. The City of Renton has budget available from the City approved 2008 and 2009 budget to comply with the Phase H NPDES permit. The total approved budget available is$500,000(approximate) for this storm inventory project. This budget includes City staff costs, equipment, and consultant fees. The City currently uses the following software: City of Renton utilizes ESRI ArcGIS version 9.2 (or later versions when the City upgrades their software in 2009). City of Renton currently uses Infor EAM as its maintenance management system. The consultant is encouraged to obtain existing electronic GIS information by contacting Gary Del Rosario, Surface Water Utility Engineering Specialist, via email at gdeirosario@ci.renton.wa.us or by calling 425-430-7267. The City can provide the following feature classes/files via the City's Buzzsaw ftp site once the consultant has contacted and been setup with an account by Mr. Del Rosario. The following will be the set of feature classes/files to be provided: -Parcel base - Street names -Centerlines -City limits -PAA boundary -Hydrology -MrSID aerial -Topography - Sewer network and structures -Water network and hydrants -Storm(structures,pipes,flow control, and ends/connections) 4.0 Goal of Stormwater Asset Inventory Database The goal of the SWU storm system asset inventory and database is to obtain an accurate and complete inventory of City-owned stormwater facilities for seamless integration with the City's existing ESRI ArcSDE Enterprise Geographic Information System and Infor EAM Maintenance Management System. All data collected shall overlay with the existing City GIS data in the form of Washington State Plane Coordinates,North American Datum, 1983 (NAD `83), latest adjustment (US Feet), and the North American Vertical Datum, 1988 (NAVD '88), latest adjustment. All data must meet National Spatial Data Infrastructure(NSDI) and Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC)requirements. FGDC compliant metadata will be required for all data collected. Data collected, verified, and generated from field mapping shall be used to assist the City Surface Water Utility(SWU)in the City's Phase II National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(NPDES) Permit activities, as well as providing valuable information to the City's Operation,Engineering, and Maintenance activities. The collected data will also be capable of being used with future City modeling efforts,customer service information, and permitting (internal and external customers).

City of Renton, Washington The City of Renton is generally located in Western Washington immediately east of Lake Washington, approximately 15 miles southeast of Seattle, 7 miles south of downtown Bellevue, north of Kent, and is immediately south of Newcastle, Washington. Renton is a community of more than 80,000 residents with another 35,000 people employed within the city limits. The City is approximately 22.9 square miles in size and maintains approximately 380 centerline miles (Attachment A) of roadway. This approximate centerline miles total includes the recent Benson Hill Area, Liberty, and New Life Aquabarn annexation areas within it's corporate boundary limits. 2.0 Summary Scope of Work The City currently lacks a "true" inventory of it's existing stormwater infrastructure located within the City right-of-ways and is seeking a consultant/contractor to verify stormwater asset information within City right-of-ways. The City is requesting proposals and Statement of Qualifications (SOQs) for a storm system field mapping project from a consultant/contractor (herein after termed consultant) to improve it's database and mapping in a form that will allow seamless integration with the City's current ESRI GIS system and the City's asset management software, Infor EAM. Page 2 of 11 The City requests a refined scope be developed and submitted as part of the proposal by the consultant with defined methods, techniques, software to be utilized, integration methodology with the City software/hardware, deliverables, and a detailed schedule. 3.0 Background Information The City of Renton Surface Water Utility Division maintains an existing inventory of stormwater assets from various types of information collected from County annexed records, private and public project as-builts with different converted datums, and field maintenance verified data collected over the last two decades. This City inputted data has been inserted into the City's existing geo-referenced mapping system (ESRI ArcGIS) which should serve as an useful tool to guide the consultant crew(s) in collecting new, supplemental and/or verification data collected from the field. 4.0 Goal of Stormwater Asset Inventory Database The goal of the SWU asset inventory and database is to obtain an accurate and complete inventory of the City-owned facilities for seamless integration with the City's existing ESRI ArcSDE Enterprise Geographic Information System and Infor EAM Maintenance Management System. All data shall overlay with the existing City GIS data in the form of Washington State Plane Coordinates, North American Datum, 1983 (NAD '83), latest adjustment (US Feet), and the North American Vertical Datum, 1988 (NAVD '88), latest adjustment. All data must meet National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) and Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) requirements. FGDC compliant metadata will be required for all data collected. Data collected, verified, and generated from field mapping shall be used to assist the City Surface Water Utility (SWU) in the City's National Pollutant Discharge and Elimination (NPDES) activities, as well as providing valuable information to the City's Operation, Engineering, and Maintenance activities. The data will also be capable of being used with future City modeling efforts, customer service information, and permitting (internal and external customers).

If project seems to be falling behind schedule, the project schedule will be updated (as required by the City) and changes submitted along with change management methodology proposed of how the schedule can be met. TASK B: Existinq Data/EpuipmenVSoftware/Personnel Evaluation, Data Development Manual Business Field Mappinq Plan, and Change Management Plan: The City anticipates that a well planned process be proposed prior to starting work out in the field on collecting data. In addition, documentation of the project will be required prior to field activities starting, as well as establishment of acceptance criteria(s) by all stakeholders. The Consultant should consider benefit versus cost analyses of generating more accurate data as part of this task and present recommendations to the City. Prior to beginning work, the Consultant shall meet with appropriate City representatives to discuss all issues concerning data collection, verification of collected data, reviewing existing data, defining the design, and delivery. This task shall be completed prior to populating the geo- database with new field collected information. The City will provide the Consultant with a Feature Attributes Specifications document (see Attachment B) that specifies the assets to be reported, along with the attributes to be collected for each asset. This document will also provide the Consultant a review of existing storm system GIS work completed by the City. Page 4 of 11 The Consultant shall examine, evaluate, and inspect the usefulness of the City's existing GPS software, equipment, and other field location equipment. This equipment shall be tested to determine it's usefulness in assisting the Consultant and shall be factored in overall savings to the City project budget. The Consultant will also train City staff on the use of existing GPS locating equipment. The Consultant shall review the existing City surface water geo spatial database that should be used as a ghost system for the Consultant to expedite data collection and be used as a field location guide. The Consultant shall develop a complete new system and evaluate if existing segments of data can be used in-lieu of re-developing new field data. A Data Development Manual shall be developed by the Consultant to ensure deliverables meet City expectations and that future field and office procedures are consistent in the future. This document will be used by the City Surface Water Utility as the standard manual for field data collection and processing. The Consultant shall develop the manual and the City project manager will review and approve the manual. A series of workshops will be scheduled to provide/receive input into the manual, design, and field process for collecting data. This document shall be used in the future by City personnel to train future employees in collecting field data. The Consultant shall develop a Business Plan for the project that shall include how the Consultant will verify information, how QA/QC management is to be implemented in the field and office, and how change management would maintain the overall project schedule and budget by the Consultant. In addition, the Consultant will verify with the City on the precision/accuracy needed for each collected piece of information to be inserted into geo-spatial database. The City currently uses the following software: • City of Renton utilizes ESRI ArcGIS version 9.2. • City of Renton owns Infor EAM as it's maintenance management system. TASK C: Dynamic Segmentation and Linear Reference System Creation (if needed): The City is using the King County TNET system currently that has not been updated since Benson Hill was annexed. The Consultant will utilize the City street centerline and/or Right-of- Way GIS data layer. The Consultant shall create a Linear Reference System using dynamic segmentation from this centerline and/or Right-of-Way basemap. Dynamic segmentation uses a linear referencing system to define a common datum for referencing the linear lines that the City would call roads. Dynamic segmentation is a standard GIS tool for analysis of roadways used in transportation. Using dynamic segmentation, information originally stored in a tabular report can be visualized on a map and displayed, queried and analyzed in GIS. The Consultant shall create a Linear Referencing System (or utilize the City's existing referencing system) to assist in collecting and storing stormwater asset inventory information with linear referencing. TASK D: Sample Pilot Data Development Area, Collection and Evaluation: Once the City has approved TASK A and B, a pilot data set sample area will mapped and recorded for a minimum of one centerline mile divided between a minimum of two separate streets. For the selected SWU coverage area(s) to be determined between the City and the Consultant, a sample pilot study area will be processed fully. The final deliverable will be equivalent to the final geo-database product. During the field mapping task, the Consultant will work with the City to ensure accurate data and provide the City confirmation of the project schedule and it's various deliverables. The final pilot deliverable shall contain information to verify that the final deliverables will meet City standards and expectations. The point and linear assets features shall be delivered as ESRI feature classes. They shall comply with standards established by the City's GIS Taskforce and be compatible with the City's ArcSDE and ArcGIS software and existing ESRI GIS system. Generated Consultant data shall be referenced to the WA State Plane Coordinate system, North American Datum, 1983 (NAD '83), latest adjustment (US Feet), and the Page 5 of 11 North American Vertical Datum, 1988 (NAVD '88), latest adjustment. All data must meet National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) and Federal standards. Once the City has accepted the sample data and it meets the accuracy and acceptance criteria, the next phases of the project may begin. The Pilot dataset deliverable shall be compatible with the City's operating system and asset management software for future data integration purposes and represent a sample of the final data to be provided to the City. A random statistically valid sample of data will be tested by the City to ensure the quality and accuracy of the deliverables. If the deliverable is unacceptable, the Consultant shall redevelop field data or include additional data to meet City expectations and standards without additional costs incurred on the project. TASK E: Surveying, Field data collection. and Acceptance of collected data: The Consultant shall use such data collection technologies as needed to provide an accurate inventory of stormwater facilities and structures within the City, as well as confirming the data to set City monument data. The data gathered shall be ESRI feature classes which include point and linear features and associated attributes listed in Attachment B. The City anticipates the use of automated data collection technologies that may include, but not be limited to the following: Van based surface data collection; Stereoscopic imagery, Survey grade GPS receiver collection, etc. Any method recommended to be used in this data collection project shall be well defined in this proposal and provide advantages and disadvantages of the preferred method over other methods. The Consultant should consider benefit versus cost of data precision location and present recommendations to the City for the best possible project value to be presented in the proposal. The City and Consultant will perform quality checks of the data (random sampling of the data will be performed to ensure quality and accuracy of the deliverables). The City will be able to QA/QC data from each day's collected data to ensure data is accurate and acceptable during the entire project with actual City monument information. Data will be scrutinized under the Consultant's quality control measure and will again be examined and evaluated by City staff to ensure compliance with the City's requirements and scope. All point and linear features shall have sub meter horizontal accuracy. Vertical accuracy shall be within 2-inch tolerance of error for valley areas and 4-inch tolerance of error for hilly areas within City properties or easements.

IT Strategic Planning Session March 27, 2007 Proposed Enterprise GIS a Vision for the Future Vision: Provide City staff and public at large with web-based access to up-to-date and accurate map data and applications via an Enterprise Geographic Information System. Benefits: Many benefits of Enterprise GIS are not readily expressed in terms of return on investment(ROI). These benefits often take the form of improved decision making through access to more complete data resources. An Enterprise GIS delivers both soft and hard benefits - both increasing worker productivity and capacity to deliver goods and services to customers. • A consolidated perspective on the use of GIS data and applications throughout the City • Support for the best tools for any job - each department can use its preferred software and data types, while working from a shared enterprise database e.g. FDM &New World) • Increasing data accessibility- all users and key decision makers have quick access to the most accurate and up-to-date data • Improving communication among departments - an enterprise system requires that all independent systems communicate quickly and effectively, regardless of data format • Central relational database(RDBMS) storage provide the benefits of multiple user access, security(access and data), centralized management, allows for data driven applications • Enhance speed, reliability and uptime • Integration of diverse data(e.g. terrain and wireless network nodes) and linkages to the City's file system • Enable easy web-based access for data sharing and interagency cooperation • Increasing productivity: ➢ elimination of redundant data collection and management ➢ eliminates the time wasted to convert or translate data ➢ reduce out-of-sync data or errors ➢ provides a single point of access ➢ opportunities for process reengineering with a spatial focus that will improve overall efficiency ➢ A simplified user experience for locating, understanding, and using City layers Reduced redundancy, improved data sharing, faster response, scalability and greater payback from geospatial investments all make Enterprise GIS the wise choice and provides the City with the best ROI. �1 Background: The City has been trying to build a GIS for years. The first attempt was in 1987 mating AutoCAD, Computer Aided Drafting software and a Wang central computer. The next step was in 1991 with the implementation of the state's Growth Management Act (initially many of the contracts for the mapping of sensitive areas specified maps as the product, this was change to include the underlying digital data developed to produce the maps in the first place). Over the years we have developed and/or maintained a number of data layers. Most of the efforts to date have been accomplished on borrowed time and resources. We have done good things despite the lack of institutional planning and support. Landlnfo (browser based access to map data), Aerial mapping, etc. but these haven't happened without cost as we are reaching the limits of working harder and smarter. So what is an Enterprise GIS? First of all it is a technology: a server-based database driven means of presenting data and information. Second it is putting that data and information in the hands of people within each business unit who need it and providing them the ability to manage that data and utilize and present the information to suit their needs. There is an important distinction that needs to be made between IS and GIS. The major difference is data. Data at its most fundamental level can be defined as attribute and value; as an example (Item: computer) (Purchased: date) (Cost: dollars) (Location: address). It is this final attribute location where the really difference lays. Location is commonly understood as an address, 1055 S Grady Way, a place city hall, a site, the intersection of Main and Grady, a position, the place under our feet. Although we can all find it on a map in order to make that map location requires additional elements, at a minimum Latitude and Longitude or Northing and Easting in other words a coordinate. The layer cake of data: with a coordinate we can drill through the layers to determine the attribute we are looking for be it: elevation, zoning, owner, sensitive area conditions, utilities,jurisdiction, census tracts, etc. and any of the associated attributes for they layer or layers at issue. GIS is an integrating technology if we have a location, however it is defined, we can then place it on a map. For instance when someone at city hall receives a call asking the question "What is happening in my street?"using the callers address to search for a city vehicle located via real-time GPS and linking that to the maintenance management system to identify the work order and its specifics the question can be answered. Next Steps: We are now transitioning to GIS system shared by our neighbors, Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, and King County, to name a few. This system is a true databased GIS sthat stores data in a RDBMS (Microsoft SQL) and will allow us to link all spatially relevant data (data that has an address) in all our existing databases such Permitting, Utility Billing, Police RM, Fire RM and the new MMS. Currently under contract development are the Sanitary Sewer System, and the Surface Water System. And, we are negotiating a contract with our proposed MMS Vendor. This system when combined with appropriate work flows and procedures will enable the City to enjoy all the benefits of a single point of service for all GIS needs, limited only by the imagination of the users. Additional initiatives include: • Address locator: The existing system only allows input of a formal address or parcel number. A full address locator will handle, formal addresses forgiving of spelling, will use alias street names (Cemetery road instead of NE 4ch ST), intersections, and common place names like City Hall, The Cedars Apartments, etc. • New World System Interface (Police RM). Will automate the extraction of data into the reqd New World format. • FDM Interface(Fire RM) ditto • Telcom layer for recording conduit, fiber and wireless infrastructure. • Routine to take location from address locator and tell if the subject address is inside or outside city limits. This application is important to development services, permitting, recreation, the clerk's office given pending annexations. • Input screens for maintenance modules for the above utilizing ESRI GIS Server accessed thru a standards based browsers. Data collection responsibilities: • Survey, Cadastre, Topography, and Topology rules maintained by PBPW Technical Services for the corporate limits. Hopefully the T-NET contract will bring in most data for the remainder of the growth boundary. • Potable Water and Hydrants maintained by the PBPW water utility engineering staff. The Utility and Fire Dept. are working with the surrounding water districts to obtain data for the remainder of the growth boundary. • Storm Water collection, storage and treatment is under construction, status unknown. • Sanitary Sewer collection, pumping and treatment is under construction, status unknown. • Transportation Signals, Signage, and Marking the PBPW transportation signal shop has data w/o positional components and we will move the data into the new MMS System and provide GIS connections at the same time. Positional information can be added by digitizing from existing mapping. • Roads, Drives, and Sidewalks • Park and Recreational Facilities • Facilities and Public Structures • Building Footprints and Setbacks • Environmental features and hazards • Zoning, Land use, and Census • Boundaries • City Limits • Police Districts • Fire Districts • Utility Service Boundaries • Zip Codes and Carrier Routes • Structures and Tanks • Special Cases • Traffic counts, accident locations • Aerial Mapping Structures FlowCo nt rol Points _ 1. eEnds Convevance OBJECTID OBJECTID OBJECTID OBJECTID FaciltylD FacilitylD Ownership Ownership OldRefNo OldRefNo LifeCycleStatus LifeCycleStatus Ownership Ownership Filecode Filecode LifeCycleStatus LifeCycleStatus DrawinglmageName DrawinglmageNo Filecode Filecode FieldlmageName FieldlmageNo DrawinglmageName DrawinglmageName _ IE jConveyanceType FieldlmageName FieldlmageName I FlowDirection ConveyanceShape StructureType WaterQuality AttUpdateBy Diameter MaterialType_ WaterQualityType AttUpdateDate Height CoverType Combined ,GeoUpdateBy Width GrateElev TopElev GeoUpdateDate Length StructureCond BottomElev GeoUpdateSource !MaterialType AttUpdateBy WaterQualityElev Comments UpperlE AttUpdateDate AttUpdateBy EndPtType LowerlE - - _ GeoUpdateBy AttUpdateDate Enabled pipeCondition -T - -- - -- -- ------ GeoUpdateDate i GeoUpdateBy AncillaryRole AttUpdateBy GeoUpdateSource GeoUpdateDate AttUpdateDate - - - - Comments GeoUpdateSource _ GeoUpdateBy StructureDesc _ Comments _ _ _ _ GeoUpdateDate _ Type FlowCntrlFacilityType GeoUpdateSource PlanlD Enabled _ Comments Enabled AncillaryRole Enabled AncillaryRole TankMaterial Shape_Length OldDesc TankDiam Pk,5L--vi t I) ►✓ TankLength I - ResOrCOm - -- - - - Structures FlowControl Points PipeEnds Conveyance OBJECTID OBJECTID OBJECTID OBJECTID FaciltylD FacilitylD Ownership Ownership OldRefNo OldRefNo LifeCycleStatus LifeCycleStatus Ownership Ownership Filecode Filecode LifeCycleStatus LifeCycleStatus DrawinglmageName DrawinglmageNo Filecode Filecode FieldlmageName FieldlmageNo DrawinglmageName DrawinglmageName IE ConveyanceType FieldlmageName FieldlmageName FlowDirection ConveyanceShape StructureType WaterQuality AttUpdateBy Diameter - - MaterialType WaterQualityType AttUpdateDate Height CoverType Combined GeoUpdateBy Width GrateElev TopElev GeoUpdateDate Length StructureCond BottomElev GeoUpdateSource MaterialType AttUpdateBy WaterQualityElev Comments UpperlE AttUpdateDate AttUpdateBy EndPtType LowerlE GeoUpdateBy AttUpdateDate Enabled PipeCondition GeoUpdateDate GeoUpdateBy AncillaryRole AttUpdateBy GeoUpdateSource GeoUpdateDate AttUpdateDate Comments GeoUpdateSource GeoUpdateBy StructureDesc Comments GeoUpdateDate Type FlowCntrl Faci lityType GeoUpdateSource PlanlD Enabled Comments Enabled AncillaryRole Enabled AncillaryRole TankMaterial Shape_Length OldDesc TankDiam TankLength ResOrCom
