The private sector offers Vermont businesses, citizens, and public organizations many engineering, surveying, planning, and/or mapping firms which can help with any stage of a project from data collection to analysis to mapping. The documents listed below include a short (4-page) guide to contracting with consultants, a much longer and more detailed guideline for municipal mapping which includes a great deal of information related to hiring and working with a consultant, and a listing of consultants who work with Vermont clients (updated twice per year). If you would like help figuring out what your GIS project consists of or who you should hire, VCGI can provide project development and request for proposals (RFP) development services. Please email our executive director, David Brotzman, for more information:
