County to issue RFP to migrate parcel fabric before Esri cloud migration
Summary
Thurston County staff asked the board to approve publishing an RFP to migrate parcel fabric data ahead of an Esri software upgrade; funding is already in the 2025 budget and will be charged to appropriate offices' rates.
County GIS/IT staff told the commissioners the county's Esri software vendor will stop supporting versions older than 10.9 in March 2026, and the county must migrate parcel fabric data to the new cloud‑based platform before the broader software upgrade.
Staff requested permission to publish a request for proposals for vendors who can migrate parcel information, provide training and user documentation for the assessor's office. The presenter said the assessor's office and IT lack in‑house capacity and the work requires specialized vendor services.
The presenter said the work is included in the 2025 budget and will be funded by rates charged to the appropriate offices and departments. No recorded board vote appears in the transcript excerpt for this agenda‑setting discussion.
