Introduction
The Georgetown-Scott County Planning Commission, GSCPC, Kentucky, is seeking a qualified Contractor or team of Contractors to assist in updating the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) database using the implementation of various photogrammetric services in accordance with the specifications in the Request for Proposals &Qualifications (RFP&Q). This procurement is for the production of aerial photography, ground control, analytic triangulation, light detection and ranging (LIDAR) to produce the digital terrain model and contours, creation of digital orthophotography, and digital planimetric files to be used in the GIS. These services will be of sufficient accuracy and utility to update and enhance an existing GIS database that supports current and proposed applications involving public access, land records management, planimetric mapping, infrastructure management, engineering, map production, topographic mapping, and various land data analyses.
Purpose
The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP&Q) is to receive competitive bids based upon qualifications of the bidder and selection criteria outlined in the RFP&Q. The objective of the selected bidder will be to provide professional services as mentioned in the first paragraph. The selected firm will negotiate a contract with the Georgetown-Scott County Planning Commission and will, therefore, become the contractor. GSCPC is not automatically held to the lowest bid and reserves the right to reject any bids if it is determined the bid does not meet the requirements outlined in the RFP&Q.
Scope of Work
All Respondents to this RFP&Q should propose procedures, specifications, and costs in order to accomplish each of the following major tasks:
Aerial Color photography
Digital 6 & 1\' pixel resolution digital orthoimagery
Light Detection and Ranging System (LIDAR) point collection and classification
Digital terrain and/or elevation models derived from LIDAR
Global Positioning System (GPS) survey control to support photography and LIDAR
Full analytical aerotriangulation (if required)
Update/creation of Planimetric data
Scott County is requesting Proposals for services to create digital orthoimagery and other photogrammetric products based on Spring 2005 aerial photography. The orthorectification of the photography will, in part, utilize LIDAR technology. These products will support the maintenance of planimetric and cadastral databases included in the Commission\'s Geographic Information System (GIS).
The initial flight was executed in the Spring of 1999 with spot updates of selected areas in Fall of 2003. The Commission, in addition to external users such as the public, sees a need to update these images and the planimetric layers.
