(1) Vendor needs to provide broadband mapping and planning service to the government authority located in Providence, RI.
• Performing an initial assessment of Rhode Island's current broadband data, including address points, address tables and assessor tables to evaluate the content and structure of the data and identify any deficiencies or changes needed to use the data for the broadband mapping project;
• Determining data definitions and information architecture for multi-unit buildings, multiple buildings for one address, and other configurations where there is not a one-to-one relationship between an address and a building;
• Determining how to classify locations as residential, commercial, government, or other types, using assessor data or other sources as needed;
• Making the modifications needed to create a new, revised master dataset of serviceable broadband locations (e.g., locations where people reside or work);
• Ensuring that any updates made to the source dataset are easily incorporated into the revised serviceable broadband locations dataset;
• Identifying geographic areas or dataset components that may need improvement and ways to make those improvements;
• Documenting design and implementation processes, as well as a process for updating and maintaining definitions, data sets, and all key pieces of the broadband map;
• Reviewing and processing data from service providers, including but limited to broadband infrastructure data, to identify and correct errors and convert the data into a finished, standardized format for mapping and analysis using GIS software;
• Working with the internet service providers to review and verify the data after it has been processed and standardized;
• Creating custom maps for the Corporation, other stakeholders, and the public with varying level of granularity;
• Delivered data should be compatible with ArcGIS Pro 3.0.3 and mapping products for the Corporation should be compatible with ArcGIS software, e.g., ArcGIS Online.
• Creating a public-facing interactive map;
• Creating secure pages for participating broadband providers to log into to review, challenge, and verify the results of the data processing and analysis, which may include provider-specific static or interactive maps;
• Developing an interactive portal for uploading data related to proposed and in progress broadband deployment efforts, to be verified by the corporation;
• Incorporating maps, charts, graphs, data tables, and key statistics into one or more dashboards, for public or non-public use;
• Preparing basic help documentation to be integrated into the portal and additional documentation for the corporation and other users;
• Follow data standards, including for metadata, consistent with state enterprise geographic information systems, in consultation with the corporation.
• Processing the raw speed test data and converting it into finished, standardized formats for mapping and analysis using GIS software;
• Analyzing the speed test data, and other data sources, to identify areas of concern to target for additional data collection and analysis, including for digital equity efforts;
• Creating work products to support the assessment of the data, including maps (e.g., heat maps), charts, graphs, reports and key statistic.
• Working with local and regional partners to collect relevant information;
• Measuring how the performance of broadband services are meeting the subscriber expectations for these services;
• Researching and evaluating other existing datasets or methods for acquiring qualitative and quantitative quality of service and quality of experience data.
• A final dataset for each provider, compatible with ArcGIS software, that includes information on where their service exists or does not exist and any other service-related information requested from the providers;
• Data quality reports for provider engagement and verification;
• Any tools (e.g., scripts and models) developed to assist in processing the provider data and associated help documentation;
• A web portal with static and interactive maps, dashboards, charts, graphs and related help documentation.
