body
INFORMATION CONTACT:

ACTION REQUESTED:
Authorize the County Manager to 1) negotiate and execute an agreement substantially consistent with this agenda item, 2) exercise any renewal or extension term options set forth in the Agreement, and 3) terminate the Agreement if deemed in the best interest of the County, each in the County Manager's discretion.
PRIOR BOARD ACTIONS:
1) February 18, 2019, Regular Meeting, Agenda Item #21 - Approved Original Countywide Imagery Collection Agreement
2) July 15, 2019, Regular Meeting, Agenda Item #19 - Approval of Planimetric Data Collection
BACKGROUND:
The County uses aerial photography in several County Departments. Aerial photography provides a high-level image of the land, buildings, and other geographic features. Union County has used Pictometry to collect orthophotography and oblique imagery every two years beginning in 2019. This data has been of great benefit for various departments, particularly Tax, Emergency Management, IT/GIS, Emergency Communications, Planning and UC Water. If this amendment is approved by the Board, imagery and oblique collections will be made every year. Extraction of additional features, primarily building footprints, will be done every two years.
The County has utilized the contractual services of Pictometry International Corp. for Imagery and planimetric data since February 2019. The company has been effective and efficient in meeting our service needs, and we are requesting to continue this service for an additional six years. The Department will collaborate with Procurement to explore solicitation options near the end of the term.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The anticipated annual cost for this service is $221,255. Since the contract contains a six-year term a total of $1,327,530 is estimated to be spent. Funding is available in the IT Capital Improvement Plan.
