SLI is conducting independent evaluations and assessments of project processes and deliverables for reasonableness, validity, thoroughness and accuracy
SILVER SPRING, MD (February 19th, 2020) SLI Government Solutions has been awarded an Independent Quality Assurance (QA) contract to provide project progress review and risk assessment services for the Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL). SLI is providing resources to conduct QA reviews and assessments across the entire project lifecycle. These QA services, planned for two years, cover four key tasks including Risk Assessment, Quality Planning, Quality Control, and Quality Assurance Status and Improvements Reporting.
At statehood, the federal government granted a portion Oregon’s state land to finance public education. DSL continues to manage land and other resources dedicated to the Common School Fund for K-12 education. DSL has embarked on a project to replace their outdated Land Administration System (LAS), with the overarching goal to improve the quality and convenience of its customer service to the public and to dramatically reduce response times. The current LAS system went into service in late 1999. LAS was built using a development tool and platform that has been at the end of the technology life cycle for more than a decade. Upgrades to the system are no longer viable.
A new LAS System will allow staff to work in or out of the office. The system will allow the public to start new applications online from the convenience of the home or other remote location. The system will be compatible with mobile devices and will utilize all electronic permit files and documents. DSL’s communications with applicants will emphasize email over postal mail. The system’s functionality will include: an online portal for permit applications where the public can make payments, monitor the status of applications, ask questions of agency staff, and upload new documents as needed. In addition, the new system will increase transparency and reduce the number of public records requests by placing frequently requested wetland inventory data online. Placing this data online will align with the Governor’s priority to be “Responsible Environmental Stewards” by making wetland information available to the public.
