Project: Street Sign Data Procurement

atdservicebot commented 5 years ago

We're helping the Signs & Markings Division procure citywide street sign asset data.

Background

With the release of our new Signs Work Orders app and attendant GIS processes, we are now accurately tracking the installation and maintenance of our street sign assets. However, we do not have reliable data on the condition and location of our existing street sign assets. This project will evaluate options for acquiring this data through procurement, manual collection, our otherwise.

Scope and Deliverables

Define sign data requirements, including GIS layer schema
Support the drafting of the vendor solicitiation
Participate in vendor evaluation and selection

Desired Outcomes

If successful, ATD will acquire accurate geospatial asset data for street signs in the city.

Timebox

To be completed by the end of FY21

From Christina T: The cost of sign data collection from DTS was around $205,000 . The cost of sign data from Cyclomedia was around $206,000 and included sign faces, sign structures and poles.

Diana and I had a conversation today regarding the sign data collection. I reached out to Ed from Public Works to find out if they have the DTS imagery from last year to take a look and see what the level of effort would be for us to collect the signs in the northern half of the City in house (potentially assigning the collection effort to Susanne)! Or what the level of effort would be to go back with work orders to reconcile all new sign installs if we did purchase the data from last year.

Peggy M. is working to gather stakeholders from other city departments. No action on our side currently.

Followed-up w/ Peggy:

Lewis also has an interest in getting citywide street sign data. They will need to provide a cost estimate of what it would take to replace all of our 30 mph signs with 25mph signs if they were to change the prima facie speed limit.

I know we talked about involving other city departments and expanding the scope of the procurement to asset data beyond just street signs. For the sake of time, I'm in favor of keeping the scope narrow and moving forward with a sign data purchase ASAP, which we were estimating at ~$250k. We have our sign asset management solution coming online at the end of the month, so we'll be ready for the data.

Happy to take this on if you're supportive.

@dianamartin reminder to send me whatever materials you have handy about the level of effort of the cross walk digitization. How many staff, how many hours, and how many features were digitized.

@johnclary Just composed an email of the GIS Data Collection Project for Crosswalks

Next step: reach out to ACC about a potential partnership (see related issue).

@johnclary I can start that email again with Sean Moran from ACC

SMB is taking the lead and DTS is supporting in a consultant role. @jaime-mckeown is taking the lead from our team and project is kicking off this week.
