Summary: Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software manufactured by ESRI is behind all map creation, maintenance, distribution and spatial analysis throughout Cook County’s departments and agencies. Cook County has contracted with ESRI their software products since the late 1980’s. The proposed contract is sole source since ESRI’s suite has no competitors in terms of size, scope, and integration. After firm negotiation, Cook County’s outline for the near future (3 years) were addressed to stay in league in terms of cost and scope of what exists with other counties of comparable size.
Tax parcel creation and assessment, public safety, election reporting, environmental monitoring, transportation, and economic development are just a few of the areas where GIS software is necessary for Cook County to operate properly. ESRI’s platform gives users access to maps and spatial data to make better informed decisions and monitor Cook County’s progress in various geographic areas over time
Shared Data Services: The data services provided through this agreement will support the Cook County Clerk, Cook County Assessor, Cook County Sheriff, Board of Review, Offices under the President, as well as the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, 20,000+ Cook County employees, municipal partners, and the general public.
The acquisition of this software allows the county to continue efficient workflows for spatial data processing and analysis. The addition of this new contract to the previous one outlines no cost increase to GIS software over an 8-year period even though more services and software modules will be added.
This is a Sole Source Procurement pursuant to Section 34-139 of the Cook County Procurement Code.
