In the April Public Works report, staff note that Resolution 16-04-26 was approved to change the city’s GIS system. While vendor name and cost are not provided, this indicates the city has recently selected or migrated to a new geographic information system platform for managing infrastructure assets. The main procurement decision is already made, but implementing a new GIS often leads to follow-on work such as data conversion, layer development, field data collection, and integration with work order, asset management, and permitting systems.Vendors with experience extending municipal GIS platforms can position services around helping Mapleton fully leverage its new system, especially for utilities, streets, and tree management programs described elsewhere in the report.

GIS system change is one of several April Public Works resolutions along with sewer televising, seal coating, and crack sealing, indicating an active infrastructure management program.
