Alpine County, CA

For the past 5 years VESTRA has supported Alpine County, California with an Enterprise GIS implementation. VESTRA prepared the Alpine County GIS Master Plan 2011 and since then has been assisting the County with implementing the GIS within planned phases.  The phased approach laid the foundation of GIS and data development.  VESTRA helped implement a cloud based GIS infrastructure (using ArcGIS Online) and assisted in data maintenance workflows. Later phases helped implement web mapping viewers for the County. VESTRA assisted the County expand their online GIS presence in the County by understanding needs related to additional applications and GIS contribution to daily business processes.  Currently, VESTRA is providing training to County staff covering the following topics: ArcGIS for Desktop (ArcMap and ArcCatolog); ArcGIS Online; a review of the Local Government Information Model (LGIM), application templates, loading data into LGIM; and a review of Collector for ArcGIS workflows.  In addition, VESTRA is developing a multi-scale fire run book grid for the County.

City of Novato, CA

The City of Novato (City) contracted with VESTRA to evaluate and modernize their existing GIS system and leverage the investments made by the City in GIS data and technology over the years, by implementing Enterprise GIS (EGIS) technology.  A low-level needs assessment was performed to City specifications. As per the needs assessment, the EGIS will provide a platform for City staff to access and share authoritative data and information via modern web applications that provide a robust set of tools to perform tasks.  In addition, the EGIS will consume from and contribute to, data and services within Marin Maps, thus providing City staff a robust set of GIS tools to perform work.  VESTRA’s approach towards the EGIS implementation will help the City reach its goals.  VESTRA recently upgraded the City of Novato to ArcGIS for Server 10.4.

City of Emeryville, CA

In 2010, VESTRA initiated work with the City of Emeryville to configure and implement an Enterprise GIS. The project began with a high-level needs assessment to identify current and potential uses of GIS technology within the City. Based on the results of this assessment, VESTRA developed the system architecture for their Enterprise GIS platform. VESTRA supported the City with implementing this architecture by installing and configuring Esri's ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Server software, creating a master geodatabase, and providing training to staff on the use and management of the platform. Following the implementation, VESTRA has supported the City by providing technical support, geodatabase conversion and editing, and custom GIS application development.

City of Elk Grove, CA

The City of Elk Grove contracted with VESTRA to provide GIS program services to the City including GIS Data, Mapping, Analysis Support and Services; GIS Coordination Services; GIS System and Application Maintenance and Support; and GIS Training Services. 

As part of this contract, VESTRA is working with Elk Grove to upgrade their online GIS applications; which can be viewed here.

City of Mountain View, CA

The City of Mountain View implemented an Enterprise Geographic Information System to streamline and improve the current use of GIS within the City.

Services VESTRA has provided for the City::

• Perform a comprehensive needs assessment
• Initial design and development of their Enterprise GIS platform
• Implementation of their Enterprise GIS platform
• Created internal parcel viewer (using Web AppBuilder) - based on Esri's Local Government Information Models (LGIM)

CALFIRE CAD

VESTRA supported the conversion of County roads datasets to Northrop Grumman CAD Dispatch system schema that is used by CalFire. The process included the creation of advanced and sophisticated ETL and geoprocessing tools for data conversion and manipulation of large roads datasets. The process included updating addressing and routing attributes of roads as well as the road geometry.

Shasta Regional Transportation Agency

VESTRA worked with SRTA on several high profile projects, such as the Shasta Forward Blueprint Planning Project which included land-use geodatabase design, GIS data development, current and proposed land use scenario modeling, the calculation of performance measures related to land use allocation, and the design of cartographic results showing projected development, extruded grids of development intensity and model animations. Addition projects are the re-alignment of Shasta County Parcels, and the Sustainable Community Strategy Grant projects that included a non-motorized network to model pedestrian, bike, trail, and bus access and movement in the urban region of Shasta County, the application of a Mobility Assessment Tool (MAT) on the non-motorized network to objectively identify high-priority locations for development on a network, a neighborhood scale dynamic (NeDS) study, and an ex-urban Growth Tool that models sustainable growth in a non-urban setting based on emergency response and the wild land urban interface.
