Custom Data Production: The development of custom digital maps and/or databases requiring manipulation of existing data. Custom data production work will only be undertaken if staff time is available.

Digital Data: Spatial data, databases, or other forms of geo-referenced digital files that can be used to create spatially referenced maps. Also, digital versions of hardcopy maps.

Digital Data Distribution: Public domain data will be distributed free of charge to any county department, public organization or Not-for-Profit organization. Private organizations and individuals will be charged $43.00/hour for all staff time required to convert file formats and ftp, or copy the data to a digital storage media. Tompkins County will not re-distribute data produced by other organizations.

Existing Hard Copy Maps: A map that is available as a hard copy or can easily be printed from digital data (i.e. it does not require any editing).

Public and Non-Profit Organization: Publicly funded organizations and Not-for-Profit organizations that serve residents of Tompkins County.

Special Projects: The development of custom digital maps and/or databases requiring the development and manipulation of new data.

To Be Negotiated: Special project costs will be determined by the project scope and requested deliverables. Services and/or data exchange may be an acceptable form of remuneration for special project costs. For example, a county department, public or Not-for-Profit organization could be provided with a custom map/database free of charge, in return for a copy of any value-added maps/databases generated from the original county data.
