Exhibit A: Scope of Services
Title: Parcel Extract for Growth Management ID No: 1 CR020
Originator: Monroe County, Florida Organization: ACS Government Systems,
Inc.
Purpose
The CONTRACTOR will develop a new query tool accessing the Monroe County Property Appraiser's
(Appraiser) tax roll database to identify parcels that may have living space on the ground level. The
query tool will determine if section codes (FLA, EPB, LLF, SBF, SBU, GBF, GBU and any other codes
manually entered) exists in the first drawing (far left hand corner) on a property record page. If one of
these section codes is found, then the query tool will add the parcel to a result set. This results set can
then be opened in a parcel viewer to extract the data to a defined output file.
Note: The list of section codes will be defined in a configuration file.
Query tool Functionality
1. Select all COUNTY parcels.
2. Open the sketch file for each Parcel
3. Scan through each Parcel's Sketch files to determine if the sketch has one of the section codes.
If one of the codes exists in the sketch, the query tool will process the buildings on the sketch and
determine which building is at the far left corner which would be the ground level. It will then
determine if one of the codes is in the ground level. If the Sketch file has more than one page the
query tool will search through all pages and determine if one of the pages has one of the section
codes in the ground level.
4. If the query tool determines that a parcel may have a living area in the ground level, then that
Parcel will be written to a result set, the name of the result set can be configured, but the default
will be'Growth Management Ground Living Area Report Month /DDNYYY' with the date being
the date of generation.
5. The query tool will loop through all Parcels.
6. Once the query tool has completed Appraiser staff will open a Parcel viewer, and load in the
result set that was created by the query tool
7. Appraiser staff shall be able to run Parcel Record Card and extract the data for al I the parcels.
This data file wil I be forwarded to the COUNTY.
Query tool Requirements
1. Provide ability to modify and /or enter additional section codes into the query function.
2. Execution of job can be stopped and resumed to assist with long runtime issues that may prevent
it from running completely in one night.
3. Populate a table, accessible to the PA, to contain list of all the parcel ids to be reviewed. This
table can be queried by Appraiser to determine parcels not processed.
4. Upon completion create a text file indicating the total num ber of parcels, total number of parcels
processed and num ber of parcels not processed due to error.
5. Failed status: if a parcel can't be processed write error to table ( #3 above) and continue to next
parcel.
