GIS Logistics announced it has been awarded a contract by the Pike Co GIS Task Force to conduct a GIS Implementation Plan for County-Wide GIS implementation. "We are pleased that Pike County selected GIS Logistics after conducting a QBS and interviewing numerous firms" said Michael Klingner, P.E. "we look forward to applying our model of success for GIS projects in the State of Illinois to Pike County.

GIS Logistics is a partnership of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) professionals, engineers and surveyors specializing in the development, implementation and maintenance of municipal, county, state and federal agency GIS services. A cooperative effort between the engineering firms of Poepping, Stone, Bach and Associates, Inc and Klingner & Associates, P.C., the team has met the GIS needs of numerous city, county and state agencies, since 1992.

The team has received national recognition for their GIS projects and has received three National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) research grants from the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC). The American Society of Civil Engineers awarded the Adams County GIS 2002 Project the 1996 Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement in Central Illinois and was chosen as one of the top ten engineering projects nationally. In addition, the project format developed for this joint City/County GIS is being used as a model by the National Resource Conservation Services (NRCS) to encourage counties to utilize the NRCS digital ortho photos and soil mapping as primary GIS layers.

GIS Logistics can assist in the development of county and municipal geographic information systems. The firm offers a wide range of GIS-related services including surveying, providing ground control for aerial photography, and developing topographical maps and GIS layers in many GIS/CAD formats (ArcInfo/ArcView, AutoCad, and Microstation). GIS Logistics employs GIS to develop accurate infrastructure information in a customized format to meet the special needs of each client.
