Title
Authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to enter into a contract with a vendor for digital ortho imagery services (aerial photography) and to accept grants and payments from participating communities include the USGS. (City Wide)
Body
Preamble
The goal of this project is to update the City of Madison's existing digital ortho imagery catalog with imagery to be acquired in the spring of 2007 during "leaf-off" conditions. The new imagery will enhance the City's enterprise Geospatial Information System and directly support parcel management, infrastructure and asset management, community and land-use planning, public works construction projects, remote sensing and other GIS applications. The City's Engineering Division, Water Utility, Traffic Engineering, Planning and Development, Police, Fire, Parks, Forestry, Health, Assessor's Office, Attorney's Office, the Dane County District Attorney's Office, and various other agencies, use the City's digital ortho imagery. The City's previous digital ortho imagery projects were done in 1997, 1998, 2000, 2003, and 2005. A Request For Proposals for this project has been issued with a response closing date set for March 12, 2007 and it is anticipated that a vendor will be selected by March 16, 2007.
This project is part of the US Geological Survey/National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency 133 Urban Area Program and the USGS will provide a grant for 25% of the City's costs for this project. Municipalities and private entities within Dane County are being offered the opportunity to participate in this project, at their own expense, and that additional participation may result in opportunities for further cost sharing.
The City Engineer shall manage this project.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mayor and City Clerk are hereby authorized to enter into a contract with the selected vendor, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor and City Clerk are hereby authorized to accept grant funds, in an amount to be determined, and other funds for this project from the U S Geological Survey and from any additional participants, and
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Engineering Division is authorized to establish and/or maintain accounts as required for the administration of the grant funds, and any additional funds, received for this project.
