“Cobb County Easement Update: GIS Conversion Process”
The purpose of this presentation is to provide the audience information about the Cobb County’s Information Services Department, GIS Team, procuring an enhanced county-wide GIS easement dataset, obtained from digital and paper records, of properties located within Cobb County. This dataset includes county-owned permanent easement features such as drainage easements, sanitary sewer, permanent sewer, drainage, conservation and preservation. The goal of this obtained, extensive county-wide dataset is to support the operational missions of multiple departments within Cobb County.
This presentation will explain how the GIS Team expanded on the data that they collected and created over the course of a 1-year period from internal staff to initiation with vendor contracts. During the 1-year period, the easement definitions were defined as well as the GIS database design. The GIS Team recently started their 2-year contract with a vendor to create GIS features for an estimated 215,000 easements that currently exist within paper and digital formats.
Finally, this presentation will also include a review of the pilot project (good, bad & ugly), the compilation of an RFP (Request for Proposal) and the vendor selection process.
