Explanation
§ The City has a need for aerial and oblique imagery data for use in its application, map making and data collection. All City departments use the aerials and obliques in a direct or indirect way.
§ Data gathered from aerial imagery may be used to verify streets, addresses, streams, ponds and buildings, as well as assists in the determination of damage to structures after a disaster.
§ While other firms provide a similar product, they are not compatible with the necessary viewers and lack the quality required or fail to perform.
§ A Waiver of a competitive solicitation process may be granted on a limited basis when deemed appropriate and in the City’s best interest. The City Manager has approved a waiver on this item.
§ Contract expenditures are estimated to be $95,000 annually and $465,000 over the three-year term.
