III. DESCRIPTION
A. Back ouncl
This is a cooperative of many government agencies working together to acquire aerial
phatogt•aphy at a significantly lower cost than each entity would otherwise acquire the same
photography independently. This is the same cooperative that worked together to successfully
Frr~e 1 of 3
acquire the 2007, 2005 and the 2003 photography. This is an impvrtant year to have
orthophotography. The flight will coincide with the 2010 Census data.
B. Proposed Nmject
The scope of this project. will be to produce true or natural color digital orthophotos at six inch
(6"} pixel resolution, conforming to one inch equals one hundred feet {1" = 100'), according to
National Map Accuracy Standards. This will allow all departments through GIS to sec the
existing infrastructure.
C. Consultant Selection
Compass will send out a Request for Proposals (RFP} the committee members will review all
RFP's. Then the committee will vote to select the best candidate for the job. The best candidate
will be detern~ined based upon guidelines outlined in the RI'P.
1V. IMPACT
A. S_trate~ic Impact:
This will help to create a city unified mapping system fur all user data. As stated in Public
Works Strategic Objectives under Business Operations BO-9.
I3. Service/Uctivery Impact:
The new photography will provide current infvnnation for all departments in City of Meridian to
utilize. It is important to have current photography that gives a real representation of existing
infrasttltchzre.
C. Fiscal_Impact:
Project Costs
Consultant Agreement $8,000
Project Funding
Fiscal year 2010
General Fund $266b.fi6
Enterprise Fund $2666.67
Dev Sctvice Fund $2666.66
l'otal $8,000
The cyst of this project is divided between all funding sources because it benefits all departments
in the city.

V. ALT~RNATIVF,S
A. "1'he City could go for a bid independent of the cooperative. This would
significantly increase the cost of the project. From $8,000 to approximately
$100, 000
B. The City staff could continue to use the photography from 2007. This would not
show the growth and changes to the city that have occurred in the last three years.
Staff would not have a visual comparison to correlate to the census data.
VI. '.i'lIv1E CnNST'ItAiN'1'S
Council's approval will allow Compass to move forward with the RFP. "I'l~c contractor needs to
he selected with time to plan the flight in the spring of 2010.

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
No. 2009-03
For the purpose of jointly funding an updated set of orthophotos fur Ada County and Caldwell
(UPWP Program 861)
Project Purpose
I'he purpose of the project is to acquire 2410 six-inch resolution natural color digital orthophotos over
the urbanised area of Ada County and Caldwell, and 1-foot resolution natural-color digital imagery
over the rural areas of the same area of interest as identified by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) fur
Homeland Security activities.
WHEREAS, the parties to this agreement, indicated below, hereafter referred to as "the Parties" and
the Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho, hereafter refen-ed to as "COMPASS", desire
to cooperate in funding an update to the 2407 orthophotos;
WHEREAS, the Parties have determined that a comprehensive set of high resolution orthophotos is of
mutual henefit to their respective planning activities and programs;
WHEREAS, the United States Gealagical Survey hereafer referred to as "USGS," is responding to a
Department of Defense (DOD) request for high-resolution image and geospatial data in support of
Homeland Sccru~ty. The National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NINA) has identifcd Boise as an
area Lor which imagery is required. Nll~1A data requirements call for 1-foot or better resolution nahrral-
color, leaf-off, otthorecti tied digital imagery. To address this need, USGS has offered funding in the
amount of $75,000 I'or tllc purpose of creating a set of updated orthophotos;
`WHEREAS, COMPASS coordinated the 2000, 2003, and 2007 orthophotos on behalf of its Ada
County members and has found a comprehensive set of orthophotos of henefit to its work in
transportation, and regional planning; and
WHEREAS, the Forties agree to the following:
1. COMPASS agrees to obtain the deliverables from the selected consultant. Deliverables include:
a. Spring 2010 orthophotos taken prior to leaf=out of trees for the area covered in Exhibit A.
Only digital imagery will he provided as part of this agreement.
b. Said photos to be compatible with the orthophotos taken in years past and meeting the
technical specifications listed in E:chibit B.
2. COMPASS must meet applicable federal procurerncnt rcyuirernents and its awn procurement
process.
3. All newly generated products of the COMPASS orthophotos acquisition project will be in the
public domain. COMPASS will make available all products for USGS and Earth Resources
Observation and Science archives.
