GIS Data Development and Maintenance
Gather, update, maintain, and/or access all existing GIS data including:
Planimetric, utility, operations and security, master planning, environmental, cultural resources, and natural resources using the most recently available aerial photography, GPS field data collection and validation, hard-copy maps, as-built drawings, data conversion, and in-house knowledge.
Providing technical input to the Government in determining the most appropriate GIS workflow procedures including data format, storage, and maintenance. It may require projecting geographically un-projected data layers provided by outside entities such as the surrounding local governments and/or State or Federally available data.
Continue to develop, maintain, and make available metadata for all geospatial data maintained in the GIS database. This effort will provide another level of credibility to Ft Knox GIS data.
Current data layers to be updated on an annual basis: 41 Compliance layers and 12 Conservation layers.
Provide customized geodatabases that are created, implemented and supported within ESRI ArcGIS to meet the varied needs of installation staff and to support external units, agencies, and activities.
All geospatial data layer creation and updates shall conform to the established guidelines; be capable of being incorporated into the Installation GIS programs; comply with applicable security requirements; comply with the latest SDSFIE version, FGDC standards, & IGI&S guidelines to include current Quality Assurance Plans (QAP’s).
GIS Mapping and Analysis Support
Provide mapping and GIS analysis support to the Government. This includes: specialized GIS analysis including project specific GIS and/or GIS related data; specialized GIS analysis support, including interpretation and analysis of environmental data and development of natural resource support recommendations; and support to planning and siting studies, and environmental impact assessments.
Implement consistency of design across all GIS mapping products, including the utilization of standard symbology on mapping products, to sustain consistency with Federal agencies, DoD organizations.
GPS Support and Validation.
Provide GPS field data collection and validation support. Field data collection will be coordinated with the Government Tech Rep. Data collected will be post-processed, as needed, by the Partner prior to integration with the GIS.
If required, participate in meetings with agencies in support of GPS- related activities.
