Plaquemines Parish GIS Assessment

Plaquemines Parish contracted BKI for a major GIS development project for consisting of six phases over 5 years. 

The assessment included evaluating and documenting the parish’s existing GIS systems and data, which were essentially non-existent except for general federal and state-level data.  BKI documented the Parish organization, work processes, data flow, hardware and software systems, and existing GIS data sources.  We also met with individual departments to determine the needs for GIS and the types of functions that would increase work performance and efficiency.  From this information, BKI developed a phased approach project plan with schedules, budgets, and a detailed description of the work to be performed.
