10 Years - Experience in designing and developing transportation GIS applications
Architect Responsibilities - Anticipating and keeping ahead of the needs of the enterprise and its stakeholders requires capacity and enterprise GIS planning activities that understands user needs, current system states (such as hardware loads, software versions and their known bugs and patches, etc.), and GIS expansions from enterprise solution implementations or user increases and the potential weakness or failure points of the current state requiring future state planning.
- Enterprise GIS architecture design
- Assigned as needed to provide architectural review/guidance
- Designing system architectures, automation, and data workflows
- Designing solutions for GIS application development
- Evaluation and maturity assessment of Esri products/solutions
Business Need GDOT requires a more reliable means to obtain GIS resources on-demand to better support end users, migrate legacy systems, and leverage new Esri architectures within ArcPro, ArcGIS Portal/Online/Hub, Field Maps, etc. to more efficiently address GDOT business needs.
Specific working knowledge of the enterprise scale ArcGIS platform (and related geospatial technologies is needed to assist in developing plans and implementing solutions.
GDOT is currently planning to make changes and expand existing GIS operations and activities. This includes the installation of new software and review of current operations. The Esri ArcGIS platform includes an integrated mix of solutions developed to satisfy a full range of GIS user requirements and business needs. These components are designed as a system to work together within an integrated Enterprise GIS environment.
Technical Environment GDOT desires to use CAI Service Requisitions to solicit/hire a firm capable of providing qualified GIS professional services to
complement/assist the EGIS Team to: - Reduce quantity and aging of reported client support inquiries/issues
- Develop GIS training materials to reduce support tickets
- Ensure published data currency, update/maintenance, and authoritative metadata
- Improve GDOT data holdings to better support distribution via ArcGIS Portal/Online/Hub (data catalog)
- Use ArcGIS System Monitor to proactively reduce issues with GIS services, jobs, and applications
- Reduce time to design, develop, and deploy GIS solutions
- Eliminate legacy dependencies and deprecated technologies
- Update/maintain supported Esri software versions and patch levels (including security patching)
- Empower end users in ArcGIS Portal, Online, and Hub to self-service requests
- Leverage utilization of Esri geodatabases and Roads and Highways to store transportation data/events
- Extract Bentley Microstation CAD levels to GIS data formats for distribution and use in web applications
- Further leverage GIS capabilities in GDOT business applications that use Esri supported technologies
- Develop support level documentation to ensure business continuity, disaster recovery, and operational knowledge/support
- Reduce/consolidate GIS footprint and streamline maintenance/operations
The following are to be reviewed, assessed, and evaluated: - Desktop GIS Operations (ArcMap/ArcPro)
- Server GIS (including ArcGIS Server web services and distributed geodatabase management)
- Geoevent Processor
- Image Server
- GIS Data Sources and Management
- Existing Web-based GIS Applications
- Mobile GIS
- GIS Web Services
- GIS Portals
- Hosted GIS Operations (including ArcGIS Portal/Online/Hub)
- User/Business Needs
- Systems Architecture (including sizing and capacity planning)
Solutions are to be built as per: - System/Business Requirement Documents, Architectural Design Documents/guidelines for systems integration
- GDOT IT specified application security standards and requirements
- GDOT IT practices, procedures, and policies
- Coordination with GDOT Project Manager, business units, or Authorized Users
