• use GIS software such as ArcView extensions to support the analysis and display of spatial and other data relevant to land planning and management decisions; 
• include a planning guide and technical documentation;
• include training for Dane County staff and community partners in the use, maintenance and enhancement of each module; 
• be incorporated into land use planning workshops for county residents.

• reviewing current County practices and planned activities so that project activities are coordinated with broader County efforts related to geographic information access; 
• advice and assistance in organizing, documenting and presenting public domain land and planning related data in CD-ROM and Web-accessible formats; 
• advice and assistance in the selection, development and implementation of Web-based query and display tools to support access to geographic data relevant to land use planning and management.

• coordinate with existing County applications and prototype potential added capabilities; 
• communicate the progress of the project; 
• support viewing of analyses and data related to the project.

1. Serve as primary contact and convenor of interactions with other jurisdictions, organizations and groups.
2. Provide funding as detailed in budget. 
3. Coordinate project participation among Dane County agencies and departments. 
4. Coordinate and manage activities related to local communities. 
5. Suggest and approve the selection of a pilot site, application modules, and other project components.
6. Expand or enhance County Web site and Web-server capabilities (based upon project results and recommendations) to support the implementation of innovative strategies for broader access to spatial information and local government land-use planning. 
7. Collect, develop, or manage the acquisition of any additional data sets required for the project.
8. Act as data custodian for project data, including generating and maintaining publicly accessible FGDC-compliant metadata. 

1. Develop joint project coordination mechanisms, including a regular schedule of meetings, an email list-serve or distribution list, and designated project leaders and spokespersons. 
2. Coordinate efforts to streamline current processes related to Dane County geographic information access, technologies and applications, and to avoid duplication of effort. 
3. Determine existing and needed data sets to support the project and planning application. 
4. Document and share project results through:
   • academic and popular press outlets,
   • a project Web site, maintained in collaboration with the County, and report(s) to the County and FGDC which include evaluation of the pilot project and recommendations. 
5. Evaluate the feasibility of County-wide deployment of prototype systems and applications, based on project results and extant County resources. Evaluation will include recommendations about training, staffing, and computing resources necessary to maintain and manage the Web site and planning applications, and a projection of benefits from County-wide deployment.

1. Provide ESRI GIS software products to LICGF and to Dane County as defined by the scope of the project, for the duration of the project. 
2. Provide a reasonable level (specifics to be determined based on defined need) of ESRI product training for the University and for Dane County at no cost. Additional ESRI product training can be provided at reduced cost. 
3. Provide a reasonable level (specifics to be determined) of technical assistance at the University and at Dane County in support of (a) software installation, and (b) project implementation and applications designs (e.g., linkage of ESRI GIS software and commercial visualization software). 
4. Contribute ten days of direct development time to the implementation of a Web-based GIS application at Dane County. This application will provide, at a minimum, simple display and query functionality of spatial data developed for and by Dane County in conjunction with this project 
5. Provide additional direct technical development resources at discounted services rates.

1. Provide public domain data; 
2. Provide advice about project products and evaluation of software developments; 
3. Provide information about federal interests and goals influencing project developments; 
4. Participate in project activities and meetings as feasible.

1. Provide funding as detailed in budget for schedule of deliverables.

1. Share all project data without cost, except as restricted by law or prior agreement, for the duration of the project. 
2. Develop a process to jointly review project results and review recommendations; 
3. Review an outreach and communication plan, developed by Dane County and LICGF, to manage and share results of the project. 
4. Jointly review (prior to release) press releases, publications and presentation materials related to the project during the duration of the project and for one year following the completion of the project.
