  1. Iowa Geographic Information Council 2007 NSDI 50 States Cap Grant A Business Plan for the Iowa Geospatial Infrastructure (IGI) Jim Giglierano james.giglierano@dnr.iowa.gov July 17, 2008

  2. Iowa Geospatial Infrastructure http://www.iowagic.org/ http://www.iowagic.org/about/projects-and-initiatives/igi/documents/ Check out Appendix A with text of interviews

  3. What is the IGI? • Iowa Geospatial Infrastructure (IGI) is Iowa’s contribution to the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) • IGI’s central focus is on the collection of consistent, common, integrated, standardized local, state, federal and other GIS data layers (“framework” data layers in NSDI terminology) that are freely available to the public through the Internet • IGI will follow NSDI practices for metadata and data standards, and use Iowa’s data clearinghouse for data discovery • IGI includes people, technology and agreements to make this happen

  4. Lots of GIS pieces out there City #1 Federal Agency #2 Federal Agency #1 State Agency #3 State Agency #1 Utility State Agency #2 City #2 County #3 County #2 County #1 University #1 University #2 State Agency #4

  5. Connecting the PiecesIGI Components: • Framework data layers • Best practices/standards for seamless, statewide databases • Metadata • Public access • Data and web application servers • Services to framework data providers and users • Coordination assistance • Contracting assistance • Web hosting and application development assistance • Training • Technical assistance • Agreements between data providers, service bureaus and funding sources

  6. IGI: Delivering consistent framework data from centralized locations on the web Statewide GIS Infrastructure County #1 City #1 Utility State Agency #1 Federal Agency #1 University #2 County #2 City #2 State Agency #2 Federal Agency #2 University #1 County #3 State Agency #3 • Master agreement to participate • Content standards/best practices and metadata • Different ways to provide content • Includes crossed linked GIS service bureaus County #4 State Agency #4

  7. IGI: Facilitating development of seamless statewide applications Web-based Application Statewide GIS Infrastructure Application building blocks: for example, a geocoding service, a routing service, various web mapping services Counties Cities and towns Private Entities State Agencies Federal Agencies Universities colleges

  8. IGI: Fostering Communities of Practice Economic Dev Applications Environmental Applications Public Health Applications Emergency Management Applications Statewide GIS Infrastructure County #1 City #1 Utility State Agency #1 Federal Agency #1 University #2

  9. IGI Framework Layers • Geodetic control: county GPS control monuments and NGS benchmarks • Ortho imagery: BW, color and CIR orthorectified aerial imagery • Administrative boundaries: city, county and state boundaries • Cadastral data: public land survey section corners, section lines and parcel boundaries • Transportation: road centerlines, railroads, trails, airports, waterways • Elevation: digital elevation models and contours • Hydrography: rivers and streams, water bodies, watershed boundaries • Address points • Structures: 2D building footprints, bridges, towers

  10. IGI Framework Layers: Data Sources • Control points – counties • Administration boundaries - counties • Ortho-imagery – counties, state, federal • Cadastral - counties • Transportation – state and counties • Hydrography – state and federal • Elevation – state (and federal?) • Address points – state and counties • Structures – state and counties

  11. County and State GIS Service Bureaus • Provide assistance to data stewards to get data into the IGI • Provide assistance to data stewards to get benefit from participating in IGI • Provide information and assistance to all GIS users to gain benefits from using IGI

  12. ROI Study – Costs Benefits of IGI • Interviewed Counties with GIS • Interviewed Counties without GIS • Interviewed State and Federal Agencies • Utilities and others

  13. Benefits to Counties with GIS Participating in IGI • Using lidar in county engineer office for road maintenance $12k-90k/yr • Using lidar in county engineer office for surveying and design $10k-50k/yr • Cost avoidance for web server $10k/yr • Cost avoidance for aerial photography $20k/yr through participation in IFTN From $50k to $150k in benefits per county per year

  14. Benefits to Counties with GIS Participating in IGI • GIS Coordinator – reduced aerial contracting • Emergency planner – automated mapping • Sheriff dispatcher – locating addresses • Economic Dev staff – producing information packets faster • Conservation staff – faster project planning • Public Health inspector – locating inspection sites From $50k to $150k in benefits per county per year

  15. Costs to Participate in IGI • GIS Coordinator – providing data • County Staff – learning to use lidar elevation, other data layers • Participate in Imagery for the Nation (IFTN) ~ $5k-6k in real costs per county per year to participate in IGI

  16. IGI County GIS Service Bureau • Job functions: about 4 FTEs • County IGI coordinator • County ortho-imagery coordinator • GIS web application developer • GIS tech/training specialist • Funded by the state – free to counties who participate in IGI

  17. 66 Counties WITH GIS participating in IGI

  18. ROI Results:Counties WITHOUT GIS • Typical approach for counties wanting to adopt GIS: • Initial outlay of $200k to $500k for GPS control, orthos, centerlines and parcel conversion project • GIS staff: coordinator and half-time tech • 2 or more copies of desktop GIS software; GIS hardware, servers, plotter • Web mapping server • OR all above services provided by a vendor • Many of the remaining counties can’t afford startup or maintenance costs of GIS

  19. Status of County GISPBC, Inc. Interviews Interview Completed GIS yes GIS no GIS coming or in transition All other counties have GIS in some form

  20. One County Stand Alone $3,000,000 $2,500,000 $2,000,000 Cumulative Costs $1,500,000 Cumulative Benefits $1,000,000 $500,000 $0 2008 2017 2026 2011 2014 2020 2023 Counties adopting GIS: parcel maintenance and tax assessment only

  21. Problems • “Standard” GIS approach is not cost effective for smaller counties if parcel maintenance and tax assessment are the only applications of GIS • Many counties WITH GIS are not getting all the possible benefits of their GIS if all they do is parcel maintenance and tax assessment • May feel compelled to sell data to recoup costs • IGI (and therefore NSDI) won’t happen without major assistance to local data producers to lower their ongoing costs, and expand their overall benefits of having a GIS

  22. IGI Benefits • IGI County Coordinator helps with regional approach starting a GIS • Sets up agreement to share a GIS person among 3 counties • Assists with contracting for GIS data conversion among 3 or more counties; parcel maintenance outsourcing • Data hosting and web application by service bureau • Benefits of access to IGI data (lidar contours, etc).

  23. One County with IGI $3,000,000 $2,500,000 $2,000,000 Cumulative Costs $1,500,000 Cumulative Benefits $1,000,000 $500,000 $0 2008 2011 2014 2017 2020 2023 2026 County Adopting GIS with IGI Assistance – sharing costs with 2 other counties

  24. IGI State GIS Service Bureau* • Job functions – 4 FTEs • GIS database/clearinghouse administrator • Web application developer • GIS tech/training specialist • Community of Practice coordinator • Funded by the state – free to state agencies * Not equivalent to a state agency “bureau”

  25. Communities of Practice • Economic Development • Education • Health and Humans Services • Environment • Public Safety • Emergency Management • Gov’t Efficiency

  26. The IGI ROI Calculation – 20 year cost scenario • 20 counties w/o GIS will build county GIS programs, phased into GIS/IGI over 10 years • 79 counties w/ GIS, will participate in IGI, phased in over 10 years • State and federal agencies will provide funding GIS service bureaus and IFTN • Costs of participating were phased in over first 10 years, then full cost of maintaining for next 10 years

  27. State IGI Costs • Salary and benefits 4 FTEs - $260k/yr • Staff Travel and Training - $25k/yr • Hardware, Software and Office expenses - $100k/yr • IFTN Orthos and Lidar Data - $600k/yr Total $985k/yr (paid by the state)

  28. County IGI Costs • Salary and benefits 4 FTEs - $260k/yr • Staff Travel and Training - $25k/yr • Hardware, Software and Office expenses - $100k/yr • Control Monument Maintenance Program - $50k/yr • Framework Data Acquisition/Modernization Assistance - $250k/yr Total $685k/yr (paid by the state)

  29. Other IGI Costs • Data Conversion Projects • Convert USGS National Hydrography Dataset to high-resolution, lidar-based stream lines: $100k/yr for 5 years • Create address point and structures framework layers; merge county boundary and parcels into statewide coverages with metadata: $300k/yr for 5 years Total $2M (paid by the state)

  30. Costs for Counties to Participate • Counties with GIS: $5k per county per year to contribute framework data and IFTN local share (based on 25% of 60k for a typical county) • Counties without GIS: cost to adopt GIS with assistance from IGI: $1M over 20 years (~$50k/yr) based on the regional sharing of GIS staff person These costs paid by counties

  31. Cumulative Benefits Equal Cumulative Costs Subtract Costs from Benefits Break Even NPV ROI Pay Back Divide Benefits by Cost Time from Now to BreakevenPoint Quantitative Measures

  32. Multiagency Cumulative Costs and Benefits $350,000,000 $300,000,000 $250,000,000 Cumulative Costs $200,000,000 $150,000,000 Cumulative Benefits $100,000,000 $50,000,000 $0 2008 2011 2014 2017 2020 2023 2026 Multi-agency IGI Study

  33. Major Findings – ROI Spreadsheets • The 20 year analysis shows Net Present Value of $271M and Return on Investment of 24.21%. Present value of total 20 yr costs is $56M (about $3M a year). • Sensitivity analysis shows that delayed adoption of GIS, with counties phasing in GIS capabilities over 20 years instead of the desired 10 year span, does not result in extreme detriment to the project. NPV is reduced from $271M to $230M and ROI is reduced from 24% to 22%.

  34. Major Findings – ROI Spreadsheets • With a county GIS service bureau and other benefits, IGI is a good deal for counties with GIS (get more out than put in) • For counties without a GIS, IGI can turn a negative ROI into a positive ROI

  35. Major Findings – Economic Development Interviews • A Chamber of Commerce interview cited GIS as contributing more than 50% of the resources needed to bring in new business • Estimate of $13.5M/year in benefits to a community of modest size • Did not use this in the ROI spreadsheets but it certainly shows the potential for growth in this area

  36. Major Findings – Emergency Response Interviews • Emergency response staff just beginning to reap the rewards of GIS capabilities • BIG need for statewide data sets. • No means to track benefits during a natural disaster or other type of unique emergency - ad hoc response mode • Must devise methods for measuring the improvements in processes through use of GIS • General lack of good base maps and need for expertise and tools for analysis - limiting factors in continued adoption of GIS.

  37. Summary! • A program to build a statewide spatial data infrastructure in Iowa is possible, and financially compelling • By providing funding for services to county and state GIS programs, the state can insure that everyone benefits by participating in IGI • Now we’ve got financial data to help make the case with decision makers, we can now move ahead, cautiously optimistic, to our funding sources in the next year

  38. Things To Do • To finish up the 2007 CAP Grant, we have 90 days to submit final report to FGDC on our IGI business plan • IGI ROI covered by GITA report • Must complete an implementation section to the IGI business plan

  39. Implementation Plan • Discuss ongoing efforts for framework data development and integration • Develop options for funding IGI • Project-based Funding – funding from Pooled Technology, LGIF, Homeland Security, Economic Development, Power Fund, other state grants, FGDC CAP grants, one-time flood opportunities • Long-term Funding – state appropriation from infrastructure funds, real estate transfer fees, or other sources

  40. Moving Ahead with IGI 2008 NSDI CAP Category 5: Building Stewardship Capacity for Structures and Transportation Geodata within the Iowa Geospatial Infrastructure • Another $50k CAP Grant – load DOT transportation layers and lidar-based structures (2D building footprints) into NSDI/IGI servers • Create a web-based maintenance tool for structures • Update hardware for ISU Geographic Map Server and IGIC Clearinghouse

  41. Structures • We need some counties that would like to pilot the business process for attributing the lidar footprints and updating via the web-tool • Develop 3D KML web mapping services??

  42. Structures (Lidar Status)

  43. Moving Ahead with IGI Status of statewide 2’ pixel 4-band spring ortho-imagery program • USGS provided $200k for 17 counties in NW Iowa, flown Spring 2007 – viewable on ISU Ortho Server (a few areas had to be reflown this year) • Nothing new flown in 2008 (too rainy anyway!) • $500k from Pooled Technology Fund available this year for Spring 2009 flights • July 14 - Applied for additional $500k for Spring 2010 flights • For new flights, DNR looking at RFP or RFI on COE contract by the end of summer

  44. Moving Ahead with IGI 2008 NAIP • statewide 1 meter color leaf-on flight in Iowa locked in with $175k local contribution (DOT $100k, IA Soybean Assoc $25k, DNR $40k, $10k others) • No new NAIP flights in Iowa until 2011 unless we come up with full cost ~$800k/yr – not part of IGI ROI cost calculation

  45. Moving Ahead with IGI National Hydrography Dataset • Create a local resolution stream and water body dataset using NHD attributes conflated to lidar-based high-resolution stream networks – include NWI attributes • $50k for USGS for pilot for 27 12-digit HUCs. Only 1750 HUCs left to go!

  46. Planning Ahead for IGI • 2009 Pooled Technology Grant submitted July 14 • Asking for $650,000 to create GIS coverages for address points and structures for 30-50 counties • Develop a web-based geocoding service that can validate and standardize addresses, perform single and batch geocoding, web-tools to update and maintain databases • If approved, money available July 2009 • Apply again next year for second half

  47. Planning Ahead for IGI Local Government Innovation Fund • $800,000 available (though funding may disappear into flood relief efforts) • Use ROI data from GITA study to build pieces of COUNTY GIS SERVICE BUREAU • Work with counties that do not have GIS • Coordinate joint ortho-imagery acquisitions • Training county staff to use GIS

  48. Planning Ahead for IGI – new land cover/land use product • High-resolution – 1 meter? • High-accuracy – 1”=400’ (1:4800 scale) ~5 meters OR BETTER • Yearly updates • Cover classes needed by a wide variety of users • A data model that can include land use

  49. Land Cover vs. Land Use Land Cover • Water • Trees • Grass • Pavement • Sand • Corn Land Use • Reservoir • Orchard • Golf Course • Parking Lot • Beach • Private Farm

  50. Landsat 15 meter land cover
