<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The construction of this data model was adapted from the Telvent Miner & Miner ArcFM MultiSpeak data model to provide interface functionality with Milsoft Utility Solutions WindMil engineering analysis program. Database adaptations, GPS data collection, and all subsequent GIS processes were performed by Southern Geospatial Services for the Town of Apex Electric Utilities Division in accordance to the agreement set forth in the document "Town of Apex Electric Utilities GIS/GPS Project Proposal" dated March 10, 2008. Southern Geospatial Services disclaims all warranties with respect to data contained herein. Questions regarding data quality and accuracy should be directed to persons knowledgeable with the forementioned agreement.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN>The data in this GIS with creation dates between March of 2008 and April of 2024 were generated by Southern Geospatial Services, PLLC (SGS). The original inventory was performed under the above detailed agreement with the Town of Apex (TOA). Following the original inventory, SGS performed maintenance projects to incorporate infrastructure expansion and modification into the GIS via annual service agreements with TOA. These maintenances continued through April of 2024.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN>At the request of TOA, TOA initiated in house maintenance of the GIS following delivery of the final SGS maintenance project in April of 2024. GIS data created or modified after April of 2024 are not the product of SGS.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>With respect to SGS generated GIS data that are point features:</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>GPS data collected after January 1, 2013 were surveyed using mapping grade or survey grade GPS equipment with real time differential correction undertaken via the NC Geodetic Surveys Real Time Network (VRS). GPS data collected prior to January 1, 2013 were surveyed using mapping grade GPS equipment without the use of VRS, with differential correction performed via post processing.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>With respect to SGS generated GIS data that are line features:</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN>Line data in the GIS for overhead conductors were digitized as straight lines between surveyed poles. Line data in the GIS for underground conductors were digitized between surveyed at grade electric utility equipment. The configurations and positions of the underground conductors are based on TOA provided plans. The underground conductors are diagrammatic and cannot be relied upon for the determination of the actual physical locations of underground conductors in the field.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
