The city staff has been working with the State of Wisconsin Department of Transportation to establish a
Wisconsin Continuously Operating Reference Station (WISCORS) within the City of Oshkosh, to expand
their network and increase the accuracy of field collected data within the City of Oshkosh via Global
Position System (GPS).
ANALYSIS
Various city departments rely on GPS to acquire accurate locations of assets and infrastructure
components to utilize within the enterprise Geographic Information System (GIS). Adding a reference
station within the City of Oshkosh increases the accuracy of the data collected.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact of this agreement. The State DOT will offer the acquired data at no charge in
exchange for allowing the installation and operation of the station on the Field Operation Center.
Additionally, the State DOT agrees to all costs associated with the installation and maintenance of the
reference station.
RECOMMENDATION
After review of the agreement by the Information Technology Manager and Director of Public Works,
both recommend the Common Council approve this agreement.
Approved,
Mark A. Rohloff, City Manager
