AGENDA ITEM
Regular Board of Trustees Meeting
of
December 9, 2014
SUBJECT: Geographic Information System (GIS) Consortium Service Provider Contract
Renewal
FROM: Mike Hullihan P.E. Village Engineer, and Jim Fox, Assistant Information
Technology Director
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT:
GIS: Program 152 (Infrastructure Fund) -$116,549 (2015 Budget)
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move that the Village Board waive competitive bidding and
approve the agreement renewal with the GIS Service Provider currently held by Municipal
GIS Partners, Inc. (MGP).
Background/History:
In January 2009 the Village entered the Geographic Information System (GIS) Consortium.
Since that time several projects have been completed in the areas of Public Safety, Planning,
Engineering, Administration and Infrastructure. The significant accomplishments including the
completion of a water utility atlas, converting all of the official maps (e.g. zoning, roads, and
address) to GIS products, resulting in significant saving (estimated at $100,000).
The program is used routinely for reference, analysis, and communication with residents and
staff is starting to be used by businesses and other government entities. By providing easily
accessible information, GIS will help staff meet both existing and expanded service levels,
reducing the need to hire additional staff. A Geographic Information System is essentially a
large database that can be accessed electronically through the use of maps. The reason that
such a system is useful for a municipality is because so much of what we do is related to
properties.
Utilizing GIS, residents, businesses and staff are able to click on a map and find out items
related to that property—permits, water billing history, zoning, parking tickets, police incidents,
fire calls, emergency information, ownership, etc. Overall, GIS in Oak Brook helps make Village

AGREEMENT
operations more efficient by helping everyone take less time to find info, respond to resident
requests, prepare reports, and do property-related analyses.
A property search function was recently added to the Village website that allows residents to
retrieve property information from a software application called Community Portal. Community
Portal makes looking up property information quick and easy. When an address is entered into
the Property Search window, Community Portal launches and redirects to that property's
"Property Summary" page, which contains information regarding zoning, voting precinct
information, and much more. What makes Community Portal so different from traditional, map-
based address search applications is that, while the information returned for a property is being
served up from a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) database, it's being displayed in a text
based environment without the necessity of a map. While the option exists within Community
Portal to display a property on a map, often times it's the information associated with an address
that is most important to whoever is initiating the search. Simplifying how this information is
displayed, and the ease of use of the search function, is what makes Community Portal so
beneficial to the residents of the Village.
The GIS system is used daily by staff, residents, other governmental organizations, and
businesses. It has been instrumental in achieving positive outcomes in such areas as storm
water management, site selection by prospective businesses, grant applications, forestry
management, traffic management, and utility service improvement.
This will be the seventh year of the agreement with Municipal GIS Partners, Inc. (MGP). The
current agreement expires in December 31, 2014. The proposed agreement is for the period
from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015.
2009: $105,166 (Initial Year)
2010: $105,166 (Actual — First Renewal)
2011: $106,220 (Actual — Second Renewal)
2012: $107,229 (Actual—Third Renewal)
2013: $109,348 (Actual— Fourth Renewal)

2015: $116,549 (Proposed — Sixth Renewal)
2016: $119,784 (Estimated —Seventh Renewal)
Recommendation:
Because the GIS Consortium has selected MGP, and the Village is a member of the
Consortium, Village staff recommends that the Village waive competitive bidding and approve
the renewal to the GIS Service Provider Contract with MGP.
