Comment on The Port of Los Angeles GIS Request For Proposals by Ari Isaak

Ari Isaak — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 22:51:39 +0000

Reprinted from the Port of Los Angeles Website:
“SUMMARY: The Information Technology and Port Police Divisions request that the Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners (Board) award an agreement to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) to develop the Integrated Command Console System (ICC) and Automated Law Enforcement Resource Tracking Systems (ALERTS). ICC and ALERT systems augment the capabilities of the City of Los Angeles, Harbor Department’s (Department) video surveillance and access control systems by providing software to improve critical incident planning and emergency response management. ICC and ALERTS will also provide mapping technology to locate Port Police resources throughout the Port. The systems will provide a single point of access to video security systems, incident management systems, communications systems and emergency notification systems. ICC will support remote incident command management, and will provide the capability to share video images between ICC and Port Police field units. ICC and ALERTS will also benefit Port tenants by providing a venue to share information with tenants to improve goods movement and security.

This project contributes to the overall achievement of the Port Wide Security Plan and the Department’s Information Technology Strategic Plan. The cost of the proposed agreement is for an amount not to exceed $4,200,000 and is fully reimbursable by state and federal grants. The term of the agreement is three years. SAIC will share 67% of their project fees with qualified Small Business Enterprise vendors who make up its project team, thereby contributing towards the Department’s SBE objectives. SAIC was selected through a competitive process as the most qualified vendor. SAIC, the prime contractor is based in San Diego, California. SAIC’s subcontractors are based as follows, NorthSouth GIS in Los Angeles, Patriot Data Solutions Group in San Diego, Americon in San Diego, NC4 in El Segundo, Orsus Solutions in New York, RiverGlass in Champaign, Illinois, and RealityMobile in Herndon, Virginia.

Comment on The PortGIS (Projects) Web Application and Mayor Sanders’ Airport Plan by Ari Isaak

I ran across a presentation done in March which focuses on the traffic issues. It shows some interesting alternatives such as relocating Pacific Highway and creating an "Intermodal Transportation Center." You can view the document by clicking here or here or at Docs#:385217. Stay tuned. I think this is going to stay interesting.

We would love to host you if you’d like to come down to see what we are up to. We are currently in the process of moving to production ArcGIS Server environment and are very interested in the progress you have made and potholes we should try to avoid. I will figure out which of our key stakeholders is interested in taking a field trip to visit you. I will contact you through email in the next few days.

Hi Ari,

Yes, we were mostly Autodesk but our GIS was using Bentley GeoGraphics and ESRI shapefiles. Our IT department had a five year plan and $26mil budget to improve our infrastructure and the CAD/GIS plan was born. It was a difficult road and we are still going through the pains of switching but I don’t think it is any more so than switching from LDD to C3D. The ability to edit my ESRI data stored in SDE is huge.

See http://www.cadalyst.com/aec/integrated-cadgis-platform-streamlines-infrastructure-engineering-9261

I would be interested in seeing what the Port of LA and SD are doing. Maybe we can swap site visits someday.

Comment on Accessing our Engineering Drawing PDFs from within the PortGIS Utilities Web Application by Richard Fernandez

I see this web app having enormous potential for both Engineering-Construction Department employees and their customers requesting information.

Mapping construction documents just makes so much sense in the long run for the end users.

Good stuff.
