Statement of Work 1 PARCEL MAPPING APPLICATION UPGRADE PROJECT
Project Overview The Consultant’s primary responsibility is to provide consulting services for the upgrade of the County Assessor’s public-facing, Parcel Mapping Web Application. The projected start date is August 2012 with a target completion in November 2012. A principal objective of the project is to offer Internet Explorer 9.0 users’ full compatibility to the Assessor’s Parcel Mapping Application. The upgrade shall strive for minimal functional change to limit end-user impact. Custom functionality shall be standardized where possible. A table of high-level project objectives followed by detailed specifics is included below:
Primary Requirements – Internet Explorer 9.0 Compatibility 1. Evaluate ESRI’s latest JavaScript APIs and provide written assessment 2. Upgrade, test and deploy the Assessor’s Parcel Mapping Web Application to accommodate inherent IE 9.0 user group 3. Maintain End-user transparency by limiting functional changes 4. Standardize custom features where possible
2 Assess ESRI’ latest JavaScript APIs and provide written assessment The consultant will assess the last several versions of the ESRI’s JavaScript API which satisfy the IE9 requirement. The API versions will be mutually agreed upon. The assessment shall include a project specific functional matrix with a description of the API Version’s pros and cons

4 Maintain End-User Transparency The Assessor’s Parcel Mapping Application was developed with usability and performance as key objectives. Maintaining each of these core characteristics is crucial to the success of the upgrade project. In an effort to minimize end-user impact, the upgrade development team shall take the following into consideration:
4.1 APPLICATION FUNCTIONAL COMPONENTS SHALL REMAIN INTACT Core functions described in Appendix A shall remain intact, with the exception of those targeted for standardization. Tools and map behavior shall remain as similar to the current application as possible.
4.2 APPLICATION LOOK AND FEEL SHALL REMAIN INTACT Application headers, pop-up windows and interfaces shall remain consistent with the current application. Branding consistency is a critical component of end-user transparency.
5 Standardize Custom Components
3El Paso County, Colorado, USA APPENDIX A RFP 12-042 In an attempt to lower total cost of ownership, the county incorporates industry programming standards where possible. ESRI includes additional standard functions to the APIs with each iterative release. As a result, several of the County’s custom map tools may now be offered as standard functions. The County would like to take advantage by migrating custom tools to standard tools.
5.1 ASSESS THE CURRENT APPLICATION Review the current application and highlight customized tools/functions for potential standardization. Describe key changes to the overall application behavior for each function.
5.2 STANDARDIZATION ASSESSMENT REVIEW Project Members shall review the functions outlined in the assessment for standardization. Functions having a small impact footprint shall be standardized. Functions which significantly impact the application will remain intact.
