GIS On-Call Professional Services

The City of Palo Alto seeks proposals from qualified vendors to provide on-call Geographic Information System (GIS) project support services. This initiative focuses on implementing and maintaining the City’s new enterprise GIS, enhancing geospatial capabilities across departments, and transitioning legacy applications to modern platforms. Key priorities include streamlining data integration, improving system efficiency, and ensuring compliance with technical and regulatory requirements.

The project aims to centralize GIS operations, transitioning from a hybrid model to a service-oriented architecture anchored by the ArcGIS Enterprise platform. This will enable efficient data sharing, prevent redundancy, and enhance confidence in data accuracy. Vendors will assist with GIS infrastructure setup, database management, CAD-GIS integration, and application development, among other tasks. Departments will benefit from tailored GIS solutions, such as dashboards, mobile apps, and workflow automation, to support operations like asset management, utility maintenance, and urban planning.

The City seeks vendors with expertise in Esri’s ArcGIS suite, spatial analysis, and system integration. By collaborating with a qualified partner, Palo Alto aims to modernize its GIS environment, boost operational efficiency, and deliver superior geospatial tools to support city-wide initiatives. The City may award to multiple vendors.
