(A) HIGH-RESOLUTION COLOR ORTHOIMAGERY - AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS
OF THE CITY
It is requested that Council approve the contract with Digital Aerial
Solutions, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $54,000.00, to provide
high-resolution color orthoimagery ? aerial photographs of the City. The
services are available via the UA133 National Imagery Program being conducted
by the U.S. Geological Survey.
Under the NIMA 133 Urban Areas for Domestic Preparedness program the U.S.
Geological Survey (USGS) will be acquiring high-resolution color orthoimagery
for the 133 most populated metropolitan areas in the United States. The
project is being conducted to provide up-to-date imagery critical for Homeland
Security and emergency response.
The Department of Homeland Security has added the majority of Columbus and the
surrounding area to the project. Only a small portion of the county in the
extreme northeastern portion of the county will not be included in the project.
The USGS will pay 25% of the cost of acquiring new aerial photographs.
The flyover will be conducted by Digital Aerial Solutions, LLC from Tampa,
Florida beginning February 26, 2007. Contracts for jurisdictions requesting to
participate in this program are due no later than February 21, 2007.
The City last updated the GIS aerial photographs in 2004. Since then the City
has experienced significant growth throughout the community. A project to
update the GIS aerial photographs was planned for Fiscal year 2008.
This is a unique opportunity for the City to update our GIS aerial photographs
at a significant savings (USGS will pay 25% of the cost), when compared to the
cost of a stand-alone flyover project. The new orthoimagery will be 6? orthos
and will include additional capabilities beyond our current images to include
LIDAR, building footprints, edge of pavement, and elevation contours.
