SRRA ArcGIS GIS Mapping Project

The Southwest Virginia Regional Recreation Authority (SRRA) is seeking a qualified GIS contractor to standardize field data collection across its Spearhead Trail System and to produce a single, authoritative master GIS layer for all seven trail systems (≈400 miles of multi‑use trail). The contractor will work directly with SRRA rangers, develop consistent data‑capture protocols, and deliver a comprehensive GIS database that supports trail maintenance, planning, and public information. • Develop and implement standardized field data‑collection methods for trail assets (trailheads, signage, surface type, condition, etc.). • Compile, clean, and integrate existing GIS datasets into a unified master layer covering the entire Spearhead Trail System. • Provide GIS deliverables (feature classes, maps, metadata) and documentation for ongoing agency use and future updates. • Offer training or guidance to SRRA staff on maintaining the GIS database post‑implementation. • Ensure compliance with agency standards and any applicable federal/state GIS guidelines.
