- GIS data files
•    Color palettes and symbology used in the project must be compatible with (available in) the ESRI online web format.
•    Many colors, border colors, border dashing, hatching, etc., are not available in this media, therefore your submission must meet this requirement. 
•    Any labels must be tied to existing fields in the data.
•    In order to re-print maps for our own use and at different sizes and scales and to have the data available in multiple formats (e.g. Online) for our users: we require copies of the pdf’s, the GIS data exported, GIS layerfiles for symbology, any definition queries, and the .aprx (mapping document) deliverable from the consultant.
•    This will allow us to continue to serve the planning department and be able to add this new data to the county’s enterprise GIS, and to do so in the most expedited timeline.
•    County is currently using the ESRI 11.5 software.
•    To ensure data completion, data integrity, and final data usage; large polygon sets should be properly dissolved, have proper topology (no donut holes, slivers, overlaps, etc.).
•    Some, or all, products from this delivery will be made available to the public via our GIS open data website and policy. 
•    We are committed to providing our residents with accessibility.
•    The GIS department requires a 2/3rds health check – data submission. 
•    This will enable us to check that data is compliant early, pre-load data into our systems, and allow extract time to assist consultants with any questions issues.
