EXPLANATION:
The agreement for professional services would allow the City of Chula Vista to provide GIS services under the
general direction of National City's Manager of Information Technology Services. The services include
identifying data layers needed for an online GIS viewer, compiling these layers into GIS map documents,
publication of web -based map services, modifying layers to include local data, training staff on the use of the GIS
viewer, managing and hosting the viewer, periodically updating data layers and the viewer as determined by
National City staff, and developing any additional GIS maps or data layers as needed. The services to be provided
require special technical expertise and staff resources that are not available in-house. Chula Vista has the capacity
to provide the needed resources through the GIS Division of their Information Technology Services Department.
In addition, the costs of managing and hosting an online service are minimized by using existing services through
the City of Chula Vista. Although the not -to -exceed amount of $1,800 is within the signing authority of the City
Manager, the agreement must go before the City Council for approval pursuant to Administrative Policy 2.01 since
the City of National City would be agreeing to defend and indemnify the City of Chula Vista under the agreement.
