Pre-RFPPublic WorksDetected Jun 16, 2026

The June 16, 2026 agenda notes a "Status of utility mapping project," signaling that Ulen is actively working to map its utilities. Such projects often involve GIS data collection, asset inventory, GPS field work, and implementation of mapping software or platforms for water, sewer, and possibly storm or other utilities. No vendor or platform is referenced, so the town may be in early stages of data collection, system selection, or coordination with county or regional GIS resources.This is a strong fit for firms providing GIS services, utility asset management, mapping software, and training, who could help Ulen complete mapping, integrate with county systems, and set up workflows for ongoing updates and maintenance.

Depending on scale, project may be coordinated with Boone County or neighboring entities’ GIS and utility data; potential for multi-agency integration.
