Sample Products and Applications

Erie County New York, Department of Public Works – GIS Implementation

The primary goal of this project was to build a GIS platform at the Department of Public Works (DPW) and develop datasets and applications identified as the highest priority by the Highway Division. By establishing core applications and migrating many disparate datasets into a central database for highway, the Division immediately gained much-needed asset management functionality. Bergmann implemented the following tasks under this project:

• Configured an operations dashboard to bring a common operating picture of live data to the Erie County DPW Maintenance District Engineers, DPW Commissioner, and County Executive for weather events as well as daily work activities. The dashboard brings together numerous datasets derived from multiple sources, including Automated Vehicle Locator (AVL) feeds, traffic cameras, 511 data, weather radar, road closures and various other road construction activities, public complaints, weather event emails, and more.
• Datasets developed: Highway centerlines, Bridges, Culverts, and real-time point locaitons of DPW trucks (via Verizon wireless and ESRI GeoEvent Server), Road Closure(s), and Detour lines
• Customized Geocortex Bridge Inventory Management (BIM) application 

For each solution, Bergmann provided end-user training classes to County staff.

Several ESRI technologies were applied to compile the data along with some behind the scenes customization.  ESRI technologies utilized as part of the Erie County project began with the county’s existing enterprise geodatabase and expanded through ArcGIS Server and GeoEvent Server,  ArcGIS Online maps, Web AppBuilder apps, as well as Operations Dashboards and Survey123.

Monroe Stormwater System Mapping

Bergmann assisted Monroe County in developing a comprehensive storm water management practices data set, as well as a web and mobile application to facilitate data management, tracking, and maintenance. The purpose of the data and applications is to help the Stormwater Coalition of Monroe County advance stormwater system mapping and water quality improvement.

A.  Requirements Gathering & Process Design: Bergmann, through several requirements gathering meetings, established the data/application requirements and the data collection process from the 29 municipalities of the Monroe County Stormwater Coalition, and the schedule for the project. Bergmann developed a survey for the Coalition members to assess the current status and format of their stormwater practices data, which will advise the process and time needed to gather this data from the municipalities.

B.  Data Development: Bergmann compiled data from the 29 municipalities into the county-wide stormwater practices dataset. Bergmann identified remaining data gaps and determined the best approach for capturing the missing data and attributes.

C.  Field Inspection Application: Bergmann developed an ArcGIS Collector / Survey123 mobile application to be used by Coalition members to perform annual field inspections of their stormwater management practices. The application was designed based on the demo application developed by the Department of Environmental Services for inspecting County-owned stormwater structures. The app includes permission control that limits Coalition members to view and update only the data that falls within their municipality.

Bergmann Survey and Drone Services

Bergmann’s survey and drone services group use state-of-the-art equipment combined with time-tested methods and procedures to achieve the best possible survey results for design and development purposes.    Sample projects include:

A.  Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Main Hospital Entrance and Utility Survey

Using a topographic survey and uitility as-builts, Bergmann scanned and mapped the main hospital entrance of the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in 3D. Using the point cloud output rapid and accurate measurements of the building’s features.

B.  NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP), Western Region

The main objective of this project was to perform a pavement evaluation of roadway and parking areas at four parks (Letchworth, Hamlin Beach, Lakeside Beach, and Darien Lakes) in the Genesee Region.

OPRHP project deliverables included:

• Develop a rating table per roadway and outline areas requiring treatment.  Determine rating by area, based on need, issues, and priorities.
• Develop programmatic estimates per area, separating by roadway and/or parking areas.
• Mapping application to view and update the pavement conditions as they are repaired or fall further into disrepair.
