Existing Software and Services:

The existing Department of Natural Resources computing environment used in day-to-day business operations are outlined below:

•             Desktop OS: MS Windows 7, MS Windows 8

•             Smaller Database Applications: MS Access 2000, MS Access 97, MS Office 2010

•             Enterprise Databases and Systems: SQL Server 2008, SharePoint 2010

•             Email:  MS Outlook, MS Exchange

•             Intuit  QuickBase (Hosted/ASP Team Plan)

•             SharePoint Environment consists of a 3 environments (development, testing, and production) with the following:  SharePoint 2010 Enterprise, Nintex Workflow 2010, Muhimbi, KnowledgeLake Imaging, KnowledgeLake Capture, KnowledgeLake Capture Server, MS SQL 2008R2, MS SSRS Server

•             Current Development Environment: InfoPath 2010, MS Visual Studio

Existing Datasets:

The current Contracts system is a Microsoft Access 2000 database.  It contains numerous queries that are used for reporting and to populate MS Word 97-2003 templates that generate contract-related correspondence and documents. This system currently tracks approximately 381 construction and non-construction contracts.  In addition, the Contracting Section also uses an Excel spreadsheet to track contract status.  Because of the low volume, data from the Contracts system will either be imported or manually converted to the new system. 

The current Pay Estimate System is a Microsoft Access 97 application and database, which has some table linkages to the Contracts database. The Pay Estimate System database contains records from 1991 forward.  Records with a bid opening date of 2010 and beyond will either be imported or manually converted to the new pay estimate solution.  The master Item List table in this database contains approximately 700 line items.  This table is used for engineering cost and bid creation and needs to be part of the new system.

The current Intuit QuickBase is currently using 5.3 MB application space (this includes a test copy of the database) and 215 MB attached file storage space.  Approximately 500 projects are currently tracked in the database, dating from 2006.

User Counts: 

There will be approximately 65 internal users of the implementation. There are approximately 500 active contractors in the contacts spreadsheet, with less than 100 contractors bidding per year. 

Construction projects usually receive 3 to 5 bids from contractors, but ODNR has received up to 15 bids for a project.
