PROJECT DESCRIPTION

SCOPE OF WORK

The following Tasks are the detailed scope of work. The Vendor will be responsible for delivery of these

tasks for the area of Moore County that includes all the parcels in Moore County, now referred to area of

interest from this point forward. Full tiles to be delivered of any tile that is delivered for the area of

interest. Moore County reserves the right to modify and further develop project specifications with the

Vendor. Any modifications to the State Standard or other terms of the Agreement requested by a Vendor

must be submitted to Moore County for consideration together with a written justification for the

requested change. Changes shall be permitted only upon approval of Moore County, and if evidenced in

writing by the Vendor and Moore County.

The Vendor shall acquire new high-resolution natural color digital aerial imagery with airborne GNSS-

IMU control and ground surveyed control to support orthorectification of either four-inch (4”) or six-inch

(6”) pixel resolution 4-band digital orthoimagery depending on cost. The County is also interested in an

option to add on oblique photography, if possible, at the same resolution. If the Vendor does not capture

oblique photography as part of their service, it is ok to just submit the proposal for the orthoimagery as

this is our primary need. If the Vendor captures any other data during flight as an optional add-on, the

vendor should provide a description of the service and qualifications for the county’s consideration.

Data acquisition will be consistent across the acquisition area with south to north oriented flight lines

utilizing large format aerial digital camera systems and conforming to the North Carolina Technical

Specifications for Digital Orthophoto Base Mapping, Adopted December 2014 by the Secretary of State

(the State Standard). All technical requirements referred to in this document must adhere to the

specifications set forth in the State Standard unless otherwise noted in this Scope of Work. Below is a

link to this standard:

https://it.nc.gov/documents/files/north-carolina-technical-specifications-digital-orthophoto-base-

mapping/download?attachment

The Vendor will be required to share ground control coordinates, AT data, exploitation images, look up

tables (LUTs) and any useful data along project boundary regions. This requirement will be applicable to

all Tasks.

Task 1: Flight Planning, North Carolina Validation Range Accepted and Preferred, Camera

Systems Acceptance, Control Surveys, and Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)

The purpose of this task is to perform all necessary work to complete pre-flight planning, validation

range processing, digital camera systems acceptance, control surveys, QA/QC, and reporting in

accordance with the State Standard, this Scope of Work, and other project specific standards that may be

mutually developed during scoping and execution of this project.

Control and Check Points

The Vendor shall plan and survey sufficient ground control to use with airborne GNSS-IMU control to

produce orthoimagery tiles that meets American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing

3

(ASPRS) horizontal accuracy for either 4-inch 6-inch orthophotos, 1”=100’ scale planimetric data with a

limiting RMSE of 1.0 feet in each X and Y. The NC Geodetic Survey can provide information on

existing government control monuments. If additional controls are required, the Vendor is to indicate the

location of the necessary additional control and describe how that control will be established.

Based on the number of aerotriangulation (AT) Blocks per assigned area of interest, the Vendor shall

select a defined number of previous project points not used for control to be used as independent check

points for quality review:

• 1 AT Block: 30 checkpoints evenly distributed across the entire area of interest with a

minimum of 3 per county)

• 2 AT Blocks: 40 checkpoints (20 checkpoints per AT Block evenly distributed with a

minimum of 2 per county)

• 3 AT Blocks: 60 checkpoints (20 checkpoints per AT Block evenly distributed with a

minimum of 2 per county)

The Vendor shall use their professional judgement to determine whether coordinates from previous state

project GCP are sufficient or if they must be re-occupied. The Vendor shall be responsible for recovering

the previous project state GCP and painting or setting panels as applicable. In the event the Vendor is

unable to recover any of the previous state project GCP, then the vendor shall report such and establish

and survey a new independent checkpoint in the same vicinity as the points that could not be recovered.

The Vendor is expected to identify and comply with applicable specifications set forth in the State

Standard and this Scope of Work that cover these work phases. Specific sub-tasks that the Vendor must

address include, but are not limited to, the following:

1.1. Develop and submit a Flight and Control Plan by area of interest based on the following

specifications and the State Standard in accordance with the schedule in this Scope of Work. The

flight plan will be designed to facilitate a delivery order determined by and agreed upon by the

Vendor and the Project Team. The following are the flight planning specifications and

evaluation criteria:

Flight Plan Methodology

• It is expected that the vendor develops a flight plan for the area of interest that meets the

following specifications and minimizes the overall cost to the county for the production and

delivery of 0.5-foot color orthoimagery based on their proposed equipment and procedures.

• Since the project area does not have any areas of extreme elevation, 2-D flight planning with

flying height set to average mean elevation over the planned flight line will be acceptable.

Sun Angle

• Conduct flights during optimal sun angle conditions to minimize shadows. A minimum 30-

degree sun angle

Flight Line Orientation

• N-S flight line orientation.

Nadir Ground Sample Distance (GSD)

• Nadir GSD shall be between 0.15 feet to 0.50 feet for 75.0% of planned exposures or pseudo

exposures for the push broom cameras

4

• Nadir GSD shall not be less than 0.12 feet or greater than 0.53 feet of planned exposures or

pseudo exposures for the push broom cameras

• For push broom cameras, GSD nadir values will be computed at pseudo exposure station spacing

along the flight line at 200 foot intervals

• If either Nadir GSD flight plan specification is not met, then flight plan revision may be directed

at the sole discretion of Moore County after consultation with the vendor

Transportation Feature Ground Sample Distance (GSD)

• Transportation feature GSD shall be between 0.15 feet to 0.55 feet for 98.0% of tested points

• Transportation feature GSD shall not be less than 0.10 feet or greater than 0.60 feet

• For push broom cameras, transportation feature GSD values will be computed at a distance not to

exceed 100-foot spacing along the flight line

• If either transportation feature GSD flight plan specification is not met, then flight plan revision

may be directed at the sole discretion of Moore County after consultation with the vendor

Forward and Side Overlap

• Forward overlap shall be planned at a minimum of 60%

• Side overlap shall be planned at a minimum of 30%

• The sum of void areas produced from intersecting the planned minimum reduced (F60/S30)

image footprints with the terrain as compared to a defined area (stereo overlap, county, AT Block,

or other area) shall be less than 0.10%

• Planned forward overlap shall not be less than a nominal 58% (based on maximum void area

distance parallel to flight direction – see table below)

• Planned side overlap shall not be less than a nominal 28% (based on maximum void area distance

perpendicular to flight direction – see table below)

• If any forward or side overlap flight plan specification is not met, then flight plan revision may be

directed at the sole discretion of Moore County after consultation with the vendor

•

The principal points of the first two and the last two exposures of each flight strip shall fall

outside the project area boundaries.

For push broom sensors, the flight design shall ensure the forward and aft imaging arrays

coverage fall outside the ends of each strip to accommodate stereo viewing of the entire

project area.

All side boundaries shall include an overlap at least equal to the side overlap

specifications for the project.
