Oakland County Enterprise GIS Information & Publications

Project Documents

Project Documents include RFPs, project plans, implementation plans and other documents related to individual projects such as road centerlines, orthophotography, etc. 

FEMA Cooperating Technical Partners
In 2002, Oakland County entered into a Cooperating Technical Partnership (CTP) Agreement with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) with a goal to work together to create and maintain accurate, up-to-date flood hazard data for the County.  This partnerships has resulted in two partially-funded projects that will redelineate floodplains in Oakland County and create new Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMs).  For more information on the project, click on the link above. 

Road Centerline/Address Range Project
In 1997, the County embarked on a GIS project to develop a County-wide road centerline and address range data set to be used for computer-aided dispatch and geocoding applications. Below are the RFP and Project Plan used to develop this data set:

• RFP (file size 41k; July 1998)
• Project Plan (file size 36k; Sept 1998)

Digital Orthophotography Projects
Digital orthophotography has been used by Oakland County since 1997. The County has two major orthophotography initiatives. The first initiative is to collect current orthophotography, the second is to convert the County's large archive of historical aerial photography to digital orthophotography. The County’s orthoimagery catalog dates back to 1963. New imagery will be acquired every 2 to 3 years, depending on budget.

Below are documents from the County's 2000 and 2006 ortho projects and the Project Plan from the County Historical Aerial Orthorecitification Project:

• Oakland County 2006 Orthoimagery RFP (file size 223k; Dec 2005)
• Oakland County 2006 Orthoimagery Scope of Work (file size 145k; Mar 2006)
• Oakland County 2002 Orthophotography Scope of Work (file size 88k; Feb 2002)
• Oakland County 2000 Orthophotography Project (file size 74k; Aug 1999)
• Oakland County 2000 Orthophotography Project Plan
• County Historical Aerial Orthorecitification Project (file size 31k; April 1999)

GIS Project Implementation Plans
GIS Project Implementation Plans are a result of the County's geographic information system (GIS) strategic planning process and extensive onsite interviews, reviews of past reports and discussions with agency representatives. These Implementation Plans, in conjunction with the County's GIS Utility Strategic Plan, are intended to facilitate GIS development in a given County agency. Below are several plans that have been developed to date:

• CLEMIS (file size 162k; Sept 2001)
• Drain Commissioner's Office (file size 58k; May 2000)
• Equalization (file size 39k; July 1999)
• Emergency Response & Preparedness (file size 74k; July 2000)
• International Airport (file size 22k; Dec 1999)

Enterprise Parcel Manual  (file size 7k; March1998)
Oakland County's Enterprise Parcel Manual was developed to support the design, collection, quality assurance, maintenance and use of Oakland County's enterprise parcel data. It is a consolidation and publication of individual documents developed during enterprise parcel implementation. Enterprise implementation has instituted several important parcel management changes that will support the development of the following programs:

• Enterprise Parcel Data Access and Distribution
• Enterprise Parcel Data Management
• Enhanced Access
• Data Warehousing

The manual is separated into volumes to promote scalability.  Click here to see all the volumes.
