WORK SCOPE
Background:
GFIAA uses Cityworks to support daily inspection and work activities across various departments and as our
primary digital asset management system. Our Cityworks environment is split into 3 information collection
types: Inspections, logbook entries (service requests), and work orders.
Inspections support the GFIAA Operations department including airfield Part 139 reporting. Airfield inspections
are completed three times a day and work orders are opened as needed during inspections to address
findings. Crystal report templates have been set up to report on inspection findings, associated work orders,
and work order resolutions. These findings are federally mandated to be reported to the Federal Aviation
Administration.
Logbook entries support day to day operations within the public facing areas of the airport by collecting data
on calls received by patrons and employees. These entries document the needs of user groups and improve
response times on critical business functions. Logbook entries also support our SMS program, a federally
mandated program to track instances of safety hazards.
Work orders are the backbone of the GFIAA asset maintenance system. Work orders are used to track work
completed on individual assets throughout airport facilities and the airfield. Work orders are generated using
multiple methods; Part 139 inspections, logbook entries, and Survey123 forms accessible to various user
groups.
Cityworks assets and associated data fields are stored and managed within the airport’s ESRI Enterprise Portal.
Survey123 forms are set up through both the Enterprise Portal and ArcGIS Online. Cityworks work order and
logbook information are fed back into the GIS environment for dashboard creation and management.
To continue operating consistently at the asset level, identify opportunities for system and process
improvements, and to identify expectations (schedule, costs, trainings, and milestones) for Cityworks system
improvements, GFIAA is seeking a professional services partner to work with and support airport team
members on an as-needed basis. Following is an overview of services that may be performed during the multi-
year contract resulting from this solicitation. This summary is not intended to be a final scope nor inclusive of
all services to be provided, rather a representation of the intent of the contract.
Scope:
Consulting services anticipated to support GFIAA team members working in and with Cityworks (and by
extension GIS) may include, but are not limited to:
• Evaluation of existing systems (Cityworks Office) and processes at various levels including administrative
users and end users.
• Issue a summary report of current practices with recommendations for system and process
improvements and opportunities to increase value with additional Cityworks modules.
