PROJECT OVERVIEW
City of San Rafael Historical Street Files Assessment:
Currently the city's building department has 11,880 Historical Street files that have not been
scanned and placed into the department's document management system. Because of the size of
the project and lacking available resources the department has asked for a cost effective and
timely solution to handle the existing backlog. By having SoftFile scan the files and index the
corresponding address those files can then be placed the into the departments document imaging
system. By doing so the City of San Rafael will be able to dramatically reduce the amount of
documents currently stored onsite and provide immediate up-to-date information for all public
records from one source.
ASSUMPTIONS
SoftFile has assumed the following in preparing this quote:
Pick-up, Storage and Return or Destruction of Files:
• San Rafael Building Department will box files for delivery

San Rafael, CA
• SoftFile will deliver the files to their production facility located in Sacramento, CA
• SoftFile will assign a project manager for all file related requests and project overview
• SoftFile will hold the department's files until authorization is provided by the department
to return the files.
Scanning Files to include the following:
• SoftFile will prepare all files for scanning

of 166,320 pages to be scanned (some possible color)
• Approximately 3,564 large format folded drawings to be scanned (some possible color)
San Rafael will indicate a color document to be scanned with a clearly marked post -it -
note
• SoftFile will index the 11,880 files with the street address on each file
• APN will be added to each address using San Rafael provided data file
• Any address that were not able to be matched to APN using the supplied data file will be
manually indexed by SoftFile
• SoftFile will perform several quality control actions before delivering data and images
• SoftFile courier will deliver all data back to the San Rafael Building Department
Deliverables
• DVD -Rom with images
• Original Documents will be returned to the department
Project Timeline
• SoftFile will initially pick up two shelves files for scanning monthly
• Based on speed of the initial pick up SoftFile may be able to increase bi weekly or weekly
pickup of files. Data will be returned on DVD -ROM monthly.
• SoftFile's goal will be to scan all files within 2 months

DOCUMENT PREPARATION
Prior to beginning the preparation process, our team meets with a client representative to obtain
specific instructions on document handling; including document order and organization, how to
handle exceptions and anomalies, and final disposition of the documents after the imaging
process is completed.
During the initial step in the document imaging process, our staff removes any and all staples,
paperclips and bindings from the source documents to ensure that the document itself is scanner
ready. This task is truly a vital piece of the process as our staff works carefully to maintain the file
integrity throughout the preparation process. Additional responsibilities of the document
preparation staff include verifying file order, inserting barcode separator sheets (if required) and
returning the documents to their original condition after imaging (if required). Once this process
has been completed the documents/files are then routed to our image capture department.
SCANNING
During the scanning process, the primary concern of our scanning technicians is to maintain the
integrity of our clients' documents. This includes capturing a high-quality image and keeping the
pages of the document in exact order. SoftFile will typically scan all documents as a TIFF group
IV image at 200 dpi resolution (unless otherwise requested by the client). For image capture
SoftFile utilizes Bell & Howell document scanners which are rated as the highest quality image
capture device in the industry today. The Bell & Howell scanners offer a robust document
throughput as well as an "intelligent monitoring feature" that checks for image quality problems,
document mis-feeds, and paper jams. Upon completion of the scanning process our operators
perform a brief QC of their work prior to releasing the data over to our Data Entry/OCR
department for indexing.
For the purpose of this project SoftFile will be utilizing a dual key from image process with an
accuracy rate of 99.95%. For consistent accuracy SoftFile will use a combination of personnel,
software and procedures to insure that the captured data exceeds accuracy requirements. Our
accuracy begins with our software. We have designed our Key From Image (KFI) software from
the ground up, allowing us to customize field order, data validation, use of look up tables and data
formatting. As part of our data entry process we assign a QC technician for every five data entry
employees. This individual performs a variety of checks which include running pre -designed
queries against a SQL database, as well as visually verifying keyed data and live monitoring of
work. Once this stage of the process has been completed the data will be submitted to the project
manager who will assemble all of the data and rerun the quality assurance queries against the
database in its entirety. Prior to beginning the project SoftFile's data entry manager will spend
time working with the client so that he will have a thorough understanding of all the details as they
relate to the key data entry portion of the services.
QUALITY CONTROL
The Quality Control Stage is the next step in our imaging process. The primary function of the QC
technician is to inspect the images and folders processed. This operator will check all images
and indexes for accuracy, completeness and legibility. The technician will also ensure that any
client -provided data has been properly merged with the manually -keyed data.
The QC Supervisor has the authority to coach personnel and implement corrective action for any
errors found during the QC inspection. The QC Supervisor oversees all document -handling
aspects of the process and is the direct supervisor for the scanning and preparation personnel

SOFTFILE COURIER

pick up the files for image conversion and data entry. During the pickup and delivery process,
SoftFile will attempt to minimize disruption to client's employees. We will provide advance
communication so that all files will be prepared for pickup and placed in an area that will provide
our courier with fast and easy access. To insure the confidentiality of our client's records SoftFile
employs our own couriers and does not outsource this service. All couriers employed by SoftFile
are required to wear company uniforms and carry a picture ID during business hours. Business
