City of Livermore Enterprise GIS:
A comprehensive, multi-phase GIS Professional Services contract, that spans nearly 20 years. Approximately 300 database objects are present to support the business of approximately 10 divisions within the City; most of these data sets were developed by Lynx. The current 2-year contract covers several broad areas:
- Database design, implementation, and administration
- Web application development
- Ad hoc development (e.g. ArcGIS for AutoCAD for Engineering)
- ArcGIS Online
- Maintenance Onsite and Offsite
The City Enterprise GIS system is an integrated set of applications including: ESRI’s ArcGIS Enterprise Portal 11.2, Microsoft’s MSSQL Server 2022, and Latitude Geographics’ Geocortex Essentials. Autodesk’s AutoCAD (Map and Civil) is also supported for the Engineering department. Several critical business applications are integrated with the GIS including Accela’s Civic Plus for Community Development, Accela’s (now NexGEN) CMMS for Public Works, NexGEN CMMS for the Water Resources Division, the City’s document management solutions (Laserfiche and Digital Reel), and Sun Ridge System’s RIMS CAD for the Police Dept. Web development and maintenance spans several sites for both internal and external users. Customization is user-driven and constantly developing richer content; development environments include Geocortex Essentials Workflow (4 and 5), Report Designer (4 & 5), and Python. Web based development has expanded to integrate Portal (2023), and ArcGIS Online, and several applications are deployed for the EOC, Water Resources and Community Development. Maintenance support includes all departments and is based on a 30-day cycle. A Distributed Collaboration environment synchronizes data between Portal and AGOL. Maintenance includes onsite support as requested. 2024 projects include: ArcGIS Portal development, automation for synchronization, Tri-Valley data sharing, and Pipelogix integration.
