8) The Word Perfect - Version 5.0 software is included, because it can <br />be used for Special Provisions which can be uploaded to the State <br />Aid Office. They in turn can make the necessary revisions and <br />submit them to the Word Processing section who incorporate them <br />with the standard forms included in Special Provisions. Also, <br />there can be sharing of documents between counties, cities, and <br />Mn /DOT offices when using Word Perfect. It has an advantage of <br />being able to import graphics. <br />9) The Metafile /Metaview database packages are included, because <br />several applications are written using those packages. Included <br />are the MSAS Needs, State Aid Project Tracking, and Mn /DOT CARS <br />(Contract Administration Record System) for all Federal -aid <br />projects. <br />10) The Procomm communications software is included, because it <br />provides the link to the electronic Bulletin Board and offers a <br />method to electronically communicate with other cities, counties, <br />and the District State Engineers. The State Aid applications have <br />been written with Procomm command procedures which make access to <br />file transfer automatic. <br />11) Upgrades for equipment will be included, because we had many <br />requests from cities who want to use the system for CAD (Computer <br />Aided Design). <br />If you have any questions on the automation plan, give me a call at <br />(612) 296 -7679. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />fYtl s7-nvt ) <br />Marilyn K.
