<br /> <br /> <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />the City (Attachment A) and requested that WSB attend the March 19th Work Session to provide <br />a demonstration of DataLink. The proposed services would include the following main tasks: <br />• Review and assessment of existing GIS system <br />• Data merge and implementation of DataLink web-based platform <br />• Staff training sessions <br />• Ongoing annual services, including staff augmentation and system maintenance <br /> <br />The proposed contract is for a three-year period. The anticipated costs for the first year would be <br />higher because the scope of services would include the review and assessment of the existing <br />GIS system and the launching of the DataLink application. The first year of services would be <br />approximately $24,342. Year two and three would include the maintenance and servicing of <br />DataLink, staff training, and staff augmentation by WSB personnel. The cost for year two and <br />three would be approximately $12,300 each year. There may be additional costs or savings <br />depending on the amount of staff augmentation used in a given year, or if the City asks WSB to <br />complete special GIS projects beyond the services in the proposal. <br /> <br />If the City Council is supportive of the proposal, staff would recommend funding the GIS <br />services through the Community Development Department and Public Works Department <br />budgets. The following table provides an estimated breakdown of the costs for the three years of <br />the contract between the two departments: <br /> <br /> Community Development Public Works <br />Year 1 $11,671 (est) $11,671 (est) <br />Year 2 $6,150 (est) $6,150 (est) <br />Year 3 $6,150 (est) $6,150 (est) <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />A.
