The Township of Cherry Hill is seeking a CONSULTANT to provide Geographic Information System (GIS) base map maintenance services. The existing GIS base map is compatible with State and local GIS data sources, and utilizes the ESRI ArcGIS 10 version software. A copy of the GIS base map will be provided to the CONSULTANT prior to commencement of this project. A. 2026 GIS Maintenance Process The Township of Cherry Hill will provide filed plans, deeds and additional resource material, as needed, for use in the tax map maintenance process (Phase One). Major subdivisions, minor subdivisions, condominium detailing, easements and lot consolidations are examples of revision work that may be required. The CONSULTANT will be responsible for applying the 2025 changes to the GIS base map in conjunction with the tax map maintenance work, to ensure that both maps reflect uniform 2024 municipal conditions. The CONSULTANT should outline steps that will be taken to ensure the accuracy of the GIS base map foundation as well as compatibility with State and County resource data. All pertinent metadata must be included and/or updated in compliance with current FGDC guidelines outlining the content standard for digital geospatial metadata. B. Linking the GIS Coverages The existing GIS database has been linked to MOD IV tax assessment data for the Township. The CONSULTANT will be responsible for updating the tabular portion of the GIS database to reflect the 2024 changes made to the base map foundation and/or acquiring new/additional tabular data as needed to reflect current conditions. Changes to the base map and MODIV database shall be pushed to the Township's GIS server regularly as changes are made. C. Review and Comment The CONSULTANT will provide a draft copy of the updated GIS mapping for review by the Township of Cherry Hill. All final maps must be created in conjunction with State guidelines as well as the Township review process.
