<br />City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />December 1, 2009 <br />Page 5 of 12 <br /> <br />DISCUSSION/DIRECTION/ACTION - AERIAL PHOTO MISSION AND <br />PLANIMETRIC DATA CAPTURE CONTRACT TO FUGRO-HORIZONS <br /> <br />Mayor Sisk requested a Stan presentation. <br /> <br />IT Manager Chris Browning Bxplained the City has undertaken development of <br />an enterprise-wide Geographic Information System (GIS). One of the first stages <br />of implementing a successful GIS is to obtain an extremely high-accuracy base <br />map layer. This is accomplished by aerial photos, planimetric data and contour <br />layers of the City of Louisville. The GIS component establishes the level of <br />accuracy for each subsequent piece of information developed or created. The <br />City released a Request for Proposal (RFP) on October 5 and received bids from <br />eight companies. A committlge made up of the GIS Coordinator and <br />representatives from Public Works, Open Space, IT and Planning reviewed each <br />bid with the following criteria: <br /> <br />· The contractor's capabilities and professional competence in providing the <br />service required and experience in completing similar projects. <br />. Qualifications and references <br />. Compliance with RFP requirements <br />. Schedule for completion <br />.

While the bid is higher, it provides <br />the most complete technical approach to the specified requirements for ground <br />control, aerial photograph, planimetric data capture and contour development. <br />The GIS Implementation Project is funded by resources from the Conservation <br />Trust - Land Acquisition Fund; Capital Projects Fund, Water Utility Fund; and <br />Wastewater Utility Fund. Awarding the bid to Fugro Horizon will require <br />additional funding of $70,85Ei. <br /> <br />Mayor Sisk requested public comments. There were no comments. <br /> <br />COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> <br />Councilor Muckle voiced his concern over the additional funding required from <br />the Land Acquisition Fund, but was impressed with the GIS system used by the <br />Boulder County Open Space Advisory Board. He supported a GIS system. <br /> <br />Mayor Pro Tem Marsella voiced her understanding for the need for a GIS <br />system, but was concerned over the additional amount of funding required. She <br />asked why the cost estimations were so far off. IT Manager Browning explained <br />a needs assessment was performed to assist in the cost projections, however the <br />estimations were low. HB noted Fugro Horizon also offered more services than <br />
