�1 H, <br /> CONSENT <br /> INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br /> THROUGH: Kristin Daniels,Budget Director <br /> FROM: Will Rice, Manager, IS/GIS Division <br /> DATE: October 14, 2019 <br /> SUBJECT: 2020 Oblique Aerial Imagery Acquisition Project <br /> DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br /> This agenda item is a proposal for the acquisition of high-resolution oblique and vertical aerial <br /> imagery of the populated eastern half of Indian River County for the years 2020, 2021, and 2022. <br /> Annual new flights of aerial imagery are valuable to GIS staff for maintaining key street <br /> centerline and addressing related data sets,maintenance and update of other GIS layers, and, in <br /> parallel with building permit data, verifying change due to new residential and commercial <br /> construction. Additionally,the high-resolution oblique imagery has proved valuable to Code <br /> Enforcement staff for the identification of code violations and Traffic Engineering staff for <br /> documenting signage, lane configurations, and roadway lane markings. <br /> Oblique aerial imagery, aerial photographs taken with the camera axis at a side angle,provides <br /> side and profile views of features. These oblique or side views frequently provide the additional <br /> detail and information needed to identify a feature. In addition, objects that are not visible in <br /> vertical aerial imagery often can be detected and identified using the oblique imagery. <br /> Pictometry International Corporation is a firm that specializes in acquiring high resolution <br /> oblique aerial imagery. Nearby counties in Florida that Pictometry currently contracts with <br /> include Brevard, Martin, Osceola, Okeechobee, and Palm Beach Counties. Indian River County <br /> has previously contracted with Pictometry in 2011, 2013, 2015, 2016, and a three year contract <br /> from 2017 thru 2019. <br /> Staff is proposing a three year, multi-year contract with Pictometry to acquire new high <br /> resolution oblique and vertical aerial imagery during the three time periods of January 2020, <br /> January 2021, and January 2022. The area of coverage for each aerial imagery flight is 355 <br /> square miles and the specific project limits are shown in Attachment 1. Each area in the project <br /> area would be imaged in 5 different directions, north, south, east, and west, and a vertical view at <br /> approximately a 3" ground resolution. Staff is proposing the three year, multi-year contract with <br /> Pictometry because of the 15%discount Pictometry is offering with the three year contract. The <br /> contract includes a"Non-Appropriation" clause which allows the contract to be suspended for <br /> subsequent projects if in subsequent years funding is not approved for the contract. <br /> 51 <br />
