Abstract
 Integrating GIS and Capital Improvement Program: Quantifiable Prioritization Process Track: State and Local Government Author(s): Tanya Komogorova, Robert O'Neil Bernalillo County, New Mexico, regularly updates its Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to plan major capital projects through the coordination of citizen and departmental requests. The Department of Infrastructure Planning and Geo-Resources implemented a sophisticated system for prioritizing projects based on two levels of attribute scores, weights, and a multiplier. First level attributes apply to all projects (service area, neighborhood support, previously committed funds, etc.). Second level attributes comprise socioeconomic, transportation, and planning factors. Scores at the second level are calculated using GIS tools, empirical factors, and Visual Basic for Applications code. A project multiplier was created to address additional public needs issues such as public health, safety, and economic development. This system helped identify projects of highest benefit to the public. The resulting solution leveraged ArcGIS, SQL Server and ASP .NET to create a powerful system capable of objective, repeatable project prioritization based on quantifiable data.
