Resolution 7801, Authorizing the Purchase of a Handheld GPS System from <br /> Frontier Precision,Inc. <br /> Public Works Director DeBar stated a core responsibility of the Engineering Division was to <br /> • manage maps of the City's infrastructure. This infrastructure dealt with the City's 45 miles of <br /> water pipelines, sewer lines, sidewalks, signs, parkland, athletic facilities, etc. The collection of <br /> this data was tracked through the Engineering Division in a pdf format which was then put into <br /> the City's GIS mapping software. He estimated the life of this piece of equipment to be 10 <br /> years. <br /> Public Works Director DeBar noted Staff was working on creating a single mapping document <br /> for all of this information as a comprehensive tool to evaluate the City's systems. This would <br /> assist with reducing maintenance expenses in the future, along with reducing Staff time spent on <br /> updating the City's baseline mapping. Several different GPS units were reviewed by Staff and he <br /> requested the Council approve the purchase of a handheld GPS system from Frontier Precision of <br /> Maple Grove for $9,908.46, to assist with the GIS base mapping of the City. He explained he <br /> had budgeted$10,000 for this piece of equipment from the Water Enterprise Fund. <br /> Council Member Hull questioned if this piece of equipment would reduce Staff time and <br /> consulting fees. Public Works Director DeBar stated this was the case as the piece of equipment <br /> would eliminate the need for consultants to complete the mandated mapping. Staff could now <br /> complete the work in-house. <br /> MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Hull.
