Frederick County Public Schools ( FCPS ) has been awarded funding from the Maryland Center for School Safety ( MCSS ) to support the creation of uniform school mapping data for utilization by first responders and emergency services as well as school personnel FCPS is seeking a vendor to produce uniform , floor - aware maps of 71 * FCPS schools in both Computer - Aided Design ( CAD ) and Geographic Information System ( GIS ) file types with submeter accuracy . These maps must show all features within the building as well as on the site . Maps must be drawn to scale , and field verification of maps must be completed by walking each building and site . Metadata must be developed for the GIS element of the project . As required by the Grant , all elements of these maps must comply with the standards set forth in Maryland ’ s Interagency on School Construction ( IAC ) School Mapping Standards ( Appendix A ). FCPS already has draft CAD drawings of the facilities included in this project . FCPS is seeking a vendor who can clean and verify these CAD drawings , which includes adding all features that are required under the IAC ’ s School Mapping Standards ( Appendix A ), ensuring that all elements of the indoor map are floor - aware , validating topology of interior walls and structures , ensuring accurate scale , and validating accuracy of the drawings by walking the building and site . Upon completion of editing and verifying CAD drawings , the vendor is expected to georeference these maps into FCPS ’ preferred GIS software platform to ultimately be shared with our Public Safety partners at Frederick County Government for use in their emergency services software . FCPS currently has the ArcGIS Pro Advanced license and has access to the ArcGIS Indoors application through our partners at Frederick County Government . One or both of these platforms must be used to display GIS file types of the finalized floor plans .
