Quality Assurance/Quality Control Procedures. The Consultant will implement effective QA/QC procedures to ensure consistent and reliable street centerline address data development and verification. Be sure to describe your particular QA/QC methods with regard to street centerline address feature/attribute development in the RFP response. Quality control is an integral part of all our projects. GeoComm utilizes documented internal processes to assure the highest quality of deliverables are developed and documented. GeoComm proposes to complete several in-depth project quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) steps to ensure the map data is accurate. GeoComm understands it is crucial to proactively identify and correct data errors before problems are realized during an emergency 9-1-1 call in a communications center. That is why, over the years, GeoComm has developed and implemented a structured QA/QC curriculum as well as a variety of tools to assist in these processes. The QA/QC curriculum currently consists of several audits for various layers. In addition to the audits performed, GeoComm GIS specialists understand the importance of quality data and continuously review it throughout the development of the GIS data layers. The QA/QC audits and regular reviews ensure complete and accurate GIS data. All errors discovered are reviewed and corrected throughout the project. Additionally, GeoComm ensures the topological structure of all line work using quality control procedures which include ESRI ArcGIS topology rules. GeoComm will perform several audits to ensure the quality of the street centerline layer. The audits used for checking the street centerline layer include: ◾ The Address Range Audit checks for overlapping road ranges. Furthermore, the audit is refined by the ESZ layer since the same ranges may exist in multiple ESZs. ◾ The road Topology Audit identifies road centerlines with invalid dangles and unbroken intersections, such as start or end points of roads that are not connected or snapped to any other intersecting roads and are not dead-ends. Invalid dangles are detrimental when routing emergency response vehicles. Most dispatch mapping applications are designed to calculate the quickest route and are not intelligent enough to avoid dangles in the road centerline layer. It is critical to correct invalid dangles so the most efficient route can be calculated. ◾ The Missing Attribute Audit checks for blanks and zero or null values in the address range fields. GIS Specialists will verify the res...
Quality Assurance/Quality Control Procedures. The Consultant will implement effective QA/QC procedures to ensure consistent and reliable address point feature data development and verification. Be sure to describe your particular QA/QC methods with regard to address point features/attribute development in the RFP response. GeoComm is compliant. GeoComm’s QA/QC processes are outlined throughout this proposal.
4.4.3.1 QA/QC processes will be used including the addition of flag fields to capture information about standard errors encountered during address point development. GeoComm is compliant. GeoComm will complete several audits to ensure the quality of the final address point layer. Audits such as the missing attribute audit which identifies address points with missing addresses and comparisons to Scott County’s provided resources will be completed to ensure an address exists and that the address is accurate. GeoComm will work with Scott County to determine accurate address attributes if any discrepancies are determined by the audits.
4.4.3.2 A notes field will be used to capture any additional descriptive information on feature issues. GeoComm is compliant.
4.4.3.3 Measureable QA/QC results should be included in a report with delivery of the address point database final deliverable. GeoComm is compliant.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control Procedures. The Consultant will implement effective QA/QC procedures to ensure consistent and reliable MSAG/ALI Database data development, synchronization and verification. Be sure to incorporate the QA/QC requirements below and describe any additional QA/QC methods with regard to ALI/MSAG development in the RFP response. GeoComm is compliant. The QA/QC methods completed will consist of numerous geocodes and audits to ensure the GIS map data, ALI database, and MSAG are all in sync.
4.5.3.1 During development, the Consultant will synchronize GIS/ALI/MSAG databases to ensure that address information is consistent. The Address Integration and Maintenance Plan (§5) will detail a method of maintaining and synchronizing the MSAG, ALI and GIS address databases in an ongoing maintenance/update environment. GeoComm is compliant. The SOP development and training will include the processes for maintaining the synchronization of the GIS map data, ALI database, and MSAG.
4.5.3.2 Consultant will compare GIS/ALI/MSAG databases and incorporate any changes, corrections, deletions encountered during verification. A listing of all address conflicts and resolutions will be provided to the County including any unresolved conflicts. GeoComm is compliant.
4.5.3.3 As part of the QA/QC process the Consultant will geocode the ALI database against the address point database, street centerline file physical address range and street centerline file theoretical range. An exception report will be provided and resulting XY coordinates stored within the ALI database (WGS 8 4 or NAD 8 3 Longitude/Latitude). GeoComm is compliant. GeoComm will geocode the ALI database to the address point layer and vice versa and geocode the ALI database to the street centerline layer to ensure accuracy. Any errors determined will be compiled into lists.
4.5.3.4 Pursuant to industry standards, the Consultant shall deliver a countywide MSAG and GIS address database that correctly matches a minimum 98% of the telephone subscriber records (ALI database). See NENA Information Document for Synchronizing Geographic Information System databases with MSAG & ALI” ‐ NENA 2‐001, Version 1, June6, 2009. This may require several iterations of database comparison and error corrections. GeoComm is compliant.
4.5.3.5 Consultant will notify the county of all unaddressed structures, landmarks, or other non standard records in the ALI data (e.g. pay phones, special private VOIP records, etc) that require new address assignment or special ...
Quality Assurance/Quality Control Procedures. Contractor shall inspect a minimum of 30% of all completed installations for quality assurance purposes. Details and findings of quality assurance inspections shall be provided to KPCo in the format required at KPCo request. The details of the QA inspection report shall be determined and approved by KPCo with Contractor input. X 8 Standards All work shall conform to all existing state and local building codes. The work shall also conform to standard industry practices. In all cases, lighting shall be maintained at safe and acceptable levels consistent with Illuminating Engineering X Society of North America standards. 9 Inspections KPCo reserves the right to inspect energy assessments for accuracy and quality as well as inspect facilities prior to equipment installation where an assessment has been completed. KPCo also reserves the right to inspect facilities wherein Contractor has completed installations. KPCo reserves the right to inspect Contractor’s facilities and associated compliance documentation as it relates to the proper disposal of waste. P S 10 Audits Contractor shall be subject to auditing of program financials, reports, and other relevant documentation as it relates to KPCo’s EI Program.
