Imagery shall be acquired at a nominal ground pixel resolution sufficient for developing 3" (three inch) pixel orthophotography. The Contractor may resample from a smaller pixel resolution to achieve the specified pixel resolution, and shall not resample from a larger pixel resolution to achieve the specified pixel resolution. Specific flight parameters are shown in the table below. Parameter Value No. Flight Lines — Lubbock (Base) 34 No. Flight Lines — Lubbock Downtown (True Ortho) rBD No. Images Lubbock (Base) 2420 No. Images Lubbock Downtown (True Ortho) TBD Forward Overlap / Sidelap % (Base) 60/30 Forward Overlap / Sidelap % (True Ortho) 80 / 40 if required Average Flight Altitude 4750 R AGL No. Photo Control Panels Project (Estimated) Approx. 51 Sensor Microsoft UCE Aircraft Piper Malibu 2.1.3 Capture Conditions Leaf -off conditions and no haze, clouds, fog, dust, smoke, air pollution, snow, or other ground obscuring conditions shall be present. Capture shall occur within two (2) hours before and two hours after maximum sun angle, and when the sun angle is 30 degrees or less from nadir (solar noon) as discussed on Table 6 on page 18 of the proposal. Images shall not contain objectionable shadows caused by relief or low solar altitude. The downtown area of the City and other areas with true ortho candidate structures shall be scheduled to occur as late as possible in the leaf -off acquisition window and close to high noon or at the time with the best solar angle possible to minimize shadow effects of tall buildings. In order to assure leaf -off conditions, aerial photography capture will occur prior to March 15, 2015. The capture window for this area of Texas is typically late winter through early spring, with snow conditions varying from year to year. 2.1.4 Flight Design The flying height above mean terrain is indicated above is appropriate for achieving the required pixel resolution and for achieving DEM accuracy sufficient to support rectification in areas where new DTM data is required. New DTM areas would include places where significant disturbance of the existing LiDAR surface model has occurred and may include the following criteria; mass grading of subdivisions, new transportation infrastructure, and modified/new drainage infrastructure. The flight mission shall be designed such that forward lap is 60% and sidelap 30% in areas of gentle terrain. Crab shall not be in excess of three (3) degrees; and tilt of the Page 4 of 11 camera from verticality at the instant of exposure shall not exceed three (3) degrees. The flight mission schedule must include sufficient time for captured data to be inspected and for any necessary reflights to be completed within the capture window and prior to March 15, 2014 (see section 2.1.3 above). Reflights shall be centered on the plotted flight lines and must be taken with the same camera system. The Contractor at no additional fee must correct aerial imagery that does not meet defined specifications. 2.1.5 Horizontal Positional Accuracy Horizontal accuracy shall meet the ASPRS Class I standard for I"=50' scale orthophotography (RMSEx, RMSEy of 3 inches) Accuracy testing and reporting must conform to the NSSDA requirements. Accuracy testing parameters shall be determined by the Contractor in consultation and with concurrence of the City's Project Manager. Complete NSSDA accuracy testing results of all well-defined points shall be provided to the City at the time of data delivery. The City may choose to use a tlurd party to validate the accuracy of the dataset. 2.1.6 Aerial Triangulation (AT) Aerial triangulation will be performed using industry -standard procedures and software packages to support the horizontal accuracy requirements of the orthophotography. The AT services will conform to the methodology listed in the submitted proposal which is incorporated into this contract. 2.1.7 Image Quality Orthophotography shall be clear and sharp in detail with no noticeable blemishes and be radiometrically and geometrically corrected to enable adjacent files to be displayed simultaneously without obvious differences in tone, contrast, or position of ground features between single images, across the block, or across the database. The most nadir part of every image will be used in mosaicing. Seam lines will be created to ensure that joins do not cut hard detail and will not cross through above ground structures. Visible seams within a tile or between tiles, which exhibit a noticeable "edge" or "displacement" effect, will be grounds for rejection of tiled or mosaiced data. The imagery shall not contain defects such as out -of -focus imagery, blurs, whorls, color blemishes, or any other kind of digital blemish or data corruption. Feature warp or misalignment, smearing, double image, or image stretching indicating bad elevation data shall not be present and will be grounds for rejection of tiled or mosaiced data. Distortion resulting from elevated surfaces such as bridges and interchanges or other abrupt changes in elevation shall be corrected or removed. Occlusion and smearing in areas of extremely high relief shall be fixed or minimized to the extent possible using overlapping orthophotos. Page 5 of 11 Color and contrast adjustments are allowed in post process production provided that information is not lost in the shadows or highlights as a result of the process. 2.1.8 Image Tiling See Section 2.2.1 of this Scope. Tile grids based on the 2010 project for the US Survey Foot dataset will be supplied by the City and extended by the Contractor in any new imagery areas. Orthophoto files will be named according to the locally used tile identification. 2.1.9 Image Mosaics JPEG2000 and ECW compressed format image mosaic at one foot (P) GSD resolution of the entire project area shall be produced. 2.1.10 Project Control Project control shall include ground control points acquired under the supervision of a Texas professional registered surveyor. The control layout shall be designed for approximate equal distribution for point placement at roughly every eight (8) square miles. The root mean square accuracy of newly established control observations shall be 2 to 3 centimeters horizontally and 3 centimeters vertically. All control will follow technical specifications provided by the City or published by the State of Texas. In addition, Airborne Global Positioning System (AGPS) control and Inertial Measurement Unit (B4U) technology shall be used as part of the digital capture system. To the maximum extent possible and practicable, the Contractor is encouraged to utilize existing ground control points or to establish points that are within public properties (i.e. within road right-of-ways). In the event ground control or targets are needed on private property, the Contractor shall notify and obtain written permission of the property owner or proper agency prior to placing these ground control targets. Control will be collected in State Plane, Texas North Central, U.S. Survey Feet, horizontal datum NAD83, and vertical datum NAVD88. The particular horizontal datum refinement will be determined in consultation with the City and will match previous project control. The Contractor shall provide the location and identification of all ground control and photo control points established and used during the flyover in ArcGIS shapefile or geodatabase format. Additionally, any newly established control points shall be delivered in a control report with individual control sheets per the example in the incorporated proposal. Latex -based paint shall be the preferred control point marking identification method. Contractor shall identify any control points placed using panel material which will be removed by the contractor once AT / re -flight phases are complete. The contractor may be directed to permanently monument newly established control locations in consultation with the City. Permanent monumentation will include the setting of an aluminum rod, stamped brass cap, and concrete collar. The City will review and approve the final monumentation specifications used by the contractor. Page 6 of 11 2. 1.11 DEM/DTM The City will provide a LiDAR derived surface for use in the orthorectification process. In areas where sufficient surface does not exist, a DTM/DEM shall be developed at a density level necessary to accurately represent the shape of the ground and support the orthophoto production and accuracy specifications as outlined in this Scope. Terrain/elevation data used in the development of the DTM/DEM shall be captured by photogrammetric techniques. Existing LiDAR data shall be reviewed by the Contractor to determine if significant terrain altering activity has occurred since the LiDAR data was acquired. If such an area is identified, the Contractor shall update the DTM in that area for use in the orthorectification. Any updated DTM data will be delivered to the City. 2.1.12 Building Footprint Update The City will provide building footprint coverage that was collected in 2010 as base information, as well as data from recent collection efforts that will be evaluated by the contractor for possible use. This coverage will be updated by the Contractor to reflect the building footprint structures that have been added, modified, and deleted as observed in the Contractor acquired 2015 aerial imagery. The contractor will perform building update location analysis by generating a reflective surface model by semi -global -matching (SGM) photogrammetric methods. This SGM derived surface model will be subtracted from the City's 2010 LiDAR reflective surface to determine change in structures. The difference surface shall be converted to a vector coverage and used to target candidates for building footprint updates. Updated building footprints shall be derived from the 2015 orthophotography with heads -up digitizing in 2 - dimensions per the specifications found in the incorporated proposal. Elevation values for each updated footprint will be derived from the SGM surface model. Attribution will match existing building footprint features with the additional of a `SOURCE INFO' attribute for all footprints that indicate the footprint source. Specific detail of attribution will be determined in consultation with the City of Lubbock. 2.1.13 True Orthophotography True orthophotography shall be developed in areas in the vicinity of downtown. Buildings greater than five (5) stories in this area shall be modeled to allow for the correction of building lean and occlusions. Planimetrically accurate and topologically sound feature data shall be collected to provide for detailed digital surface modeling of extruded building walls and relevant building roof superstructure detail. Additional aerial photography shall be collected with 80% overlap to facilitate the correction of occlusions in identified true orthophotography areas that will be determined with input and final approval from the City. At a minimum, these areas will include the area bounded by IH - 27 on the east, Quaker Avenue on the West, 4`h St/Marsha Sharp Fwy on the north and 19 Street on the south, but also extension south to 2Wh Street in the hospital district (between Indiana and Quaker). A final boundary will be determined in consultation with the City prior to acquisition. 2.1.14 Metadata Complete, Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) compliant (reference FGDC- STD-001-1998) metadata shall be provided for each component of the project, including Page 7 of 11 digital orthophotography, building footprint collection, and DEM/DTM data. All metadata shall be delivered at the same time and on the same media as the dataset delivery. Each delivered metadata file will include the City of Lubbock disclosure statement. 2.1.15 Data Review At the start of the Quality Review, Corrections, and Accuracy Assessment Task period as shown on Figure 1, Project Schedule, the Contractor, in consultation with the City, shall provide a securelaccess restricted web -based input system which allows the City to review orthophotography data and create error calls. This system shall run on industry standard web -browsers including Microsoft's Internet Explorer. The system shall allow for the proper spatial creation of point, line, and area geometry as well as population of a text attribute per feature to indicate other error information. The system shall also display contractor -generated quality control error calls during the Task period. 2.2 Project Deliverables 2.2.1 Data A single set of deliverables shall be required. The City of Lubbock will use the final deliverables with ESRI software packages and all data requested must be useable in this suite of software with no further manipulation.

(BHI) appreciates this opportunity to provide you our proposal for the City of Lubbock's 2015 Digital Orthophotography Project. We present for the selection team's consideration a proven team and track record of orthophotography project performance. BHI has been following the City's orthophotography and geospatial projects and have submitted previously in 2005 and in 2010. Since then, as we have been awarded similar projects over the past few years, we have refined our technical solutions, focused on quality processes, and exploited automation to extend competitive costs and high- quality geospatial services and products to our customers. From our experience using many different sensor technologies including digital frame and digital push broom sensors, we have proposed a digital frame approach given the City's requirement for 3 -inch resolution orthophotography and especially for potential true orthophotography products. If you have any questions concerning the proposal, or if we can be of additional assistance, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. My contact Information is included in the proposal. Sincerely, is R. Senior Vic Spatial De drs Enclosure 0 Registered Professional Photogrammetrist (RPP) Technologies Engineering A Spatial Data A Advanced Technologies A Bohannan AHuston II) METHODOLOGY This section of the proposal is tailored in response to requirements delineated specifically in accordance with RFP Section 4—Project Requirements and Specifications. The intent in this section Is to not only describe the proposed methodologies in technical detail, but also to outline specific recommendations, innovations, and resource commitments related to how the BHI team will deliver high-quality orthophotography and derived building update services to the City of Lubbock. Technical Approach A proven technical approach will be deployed to develop the 2015 Lubbock project. The outline of this approach follows a well-established workflow that will Include the following project phases: 1) flight/project planning, 2) aerial Image acquisition, 3) ground control survey, 4) aerial triangulation, 5) elevation data production, 6) orthophoto production, 7) building update production, and 8) delivery. 1) Flight Planning A single-phase flight mobilization to capture required aerial photography at the 0.25 ft (3 -inch) GSD will be conducted with our acquisition partners Aero -Graphics, Inc. Digital aerial photography forthe project is proposed to be completed using a Microsoft Ultr; CAM Eagle (LICE)" sensor for all data acquisition (all aircraft platforms and sensors are owned by Aero -Graphics). At 20,000 pixels across the flight strip, the LICE sensor is a proven all -in -one digital camera sensor that provides wide area coverage even at resolutions as low as 3 inches. Moreover the sensor (Serial Number UC -Eagle -1-70012378-1`100), has been thoroughly calibrated to standards acceptable to USGS standards for verification of key sensor qualities, such as lens quality and geometric, sensor, shutter and radlometric Calibration. Initial plans have been completed to produce a preliminary flight plan over the 2015 Lubbock project area of interest. Upon award, BHI would anticipate conducting a project kickoff meeting to review and finalize this Initial plan. Additional planning would also Include further evaluation of existing control for observation and re -paneling as well as selection of any new control prior to the airborne mission. Table 1.

Digital Orthophotography Project 2015 RFP 15.12079 -MA 3 Figur Bohannan S Huston tery• The Image sensor will capture natural color and color infrared Imagery simultaneously at a 16-bit radiometric resolution for creation of final 4 -band Images. The UCE is also equipped with precision GPS/IMU to accurately position the raw imagery for orthorectification. in addition, it Is equipped with Forward Motion Compensation and mounted Ina GSM -3000 gyro -stabilized mount that works together with the IMU to automatically correct up to S' roll, 8.4' pitch, and 6.2' yaw before each exposure is fired. 2) Aerial Image Acquisition Initial flight plans (below) propose to capture data in discrete collection blocks by project area and reflect change in river direction. Subject to low-level flight clearances being obtained, the proposed airborne collection survey would be executed In 1 to 2 days, depending upon weather/wind conditions. Allowances have been anticipated for mitigating flight conditions to meet ASPRS image quality requirements related to shadow, smoke, fog, and optimal sun elevation. After systems mobilization and calibration, flight operations will be conducted with the UCE installed in a Piper Malibu aircraft. Figure 3. Prellminary Lubbock (Base) 2015 flight plan displayed with ova liable City ground control reference data and UCE night lines. Digital Orthophotography, Project 2015 RFP 15 -12079 -MA 4 Bohannan Huston Rigorous validation routines for both acquisition and processing will be employed on the project by fully trained and experienced project personnel. Throughout the acquisition mission, the airborne sensor operator is responsible for ensuring that collected data meets required standards. All collected Imagery will be reviewed for completeness before mobilizing Imagery and aircraft back to the home operations office for post -acquisition data processing. Downtown Flight Image Acquisition for True Orthophotography Planning for data capture of the downtown area is represented in Figure 4. In this case the UCE Is an ideal sensor for capturing data to support true orthophotography production given the small area extents (0.3 square mile) of the downtown area where tall buildings would bathe primary focus of true orthophotography production. The high degree of overlap in acquisition planning provides a solid means by which an adequate record of the buildings subject to true orthorectiRcation may be fully modeled as a digital surface model (DSM) with sharp edges and all polygon faces and roof maps being constructed through the multiple available stereo overlaps. Figure 4. Preliminary downtown (Option) Right plan with high (go%) forward overlap for optimization of multi -look angles for UCE. 3) Ground Control Survey For orthophotography projects with the UCE system, the proposed technical approach utilizes two navigation solutions. As Indicated In the previous section, the flight navigation systems supports real-time inertial measurement aided by Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) solutions, the second is a post -processed tightly coupled kinematic solution. For accurate post processing, Geodetic Control will be provided through a network of previously established Base Stations established prior and operating simultaneous to flying operations. Data from these stations, along with Precise Ephemeris, will be used to provide a post -processed navigation trajectory for data processing and refinement of photo exposure station exterior observations. Digital Orthophotography Project 2015 RFP 15.12079 -MA 5 Bohannan S Huston Ground survey crews will mobilize to establish and survey permanent targets to be utilized in the aerial triangulation of digital aerial photography. BHI panel material (Figure 5) and monuments for photo control typically utilize aluminum Cap and 18" rebar for new monumentation. Due to the high degree of exlsting control (as shown in Figure 3), BHI's Texas -registered professional land surveyor would study existing control data reports to determine the viability of relocating previous photo control to the extent possible.

Innovations In Survey Control Data Collection BHI ground survey crews will mobilize with the latest In Trimble GPS survey -grade equipment. In fact, BHI surveyors have been operating with Tablet Rugged PC4 equipment for more direct geospatial Integration with Trimble RB GNSS GPS Receiver Systems', enabling accurate and efficient field-based geospatial survey -grade data capture. Deployed on the Tablet data collector is a professlonal desktop GIS mapping package—TatukGIS Editor .6 This software provides BHI surveyors and field personnel with access to robust mobile GIS data capabilities unparalleled in standard survey equipment. This innovative field equipment configuration enables direct GIS data visualization in the field and collection Into a pre -defined GIS monument feature schema. This in turn allows fortight integration with GIS office processing of survey data and fully attributed features and automated output of control data sheets for project reporting and survey documentation purposes.

Corresponding control point data attribution values are displayed In attribute window (left top) and field photo of photo control point during data observation using Trimble equipment (left bottom). 4) Aerial Triangulation BHI proposes to develop the orthophotography through standard photogrammetric practices using acquired imagery and airborne GPS/IMU along with post -processed ground control points. Aerial triangulation of project photography is a key photogrammetric task that will he performed and will support the ultimate processing of all remaining tasks, including orthorectiflcatlon and elevation data production. BHI will derive an aerial triangulation jAT) solution based on both the flight mission airborne GPS and IMU data and survey control data. The AT project will be developed using the camera calibration reportfor parameters defining the calibrated photogrammetric qualities of the UCE camera including calibrated focal length. Using automating techniques, the project will be matched for tie points with flight lines. Conjugate tie point coordinates will be analyzed for number of rays to Improve AT solution strength. Higher ray counts Indicate a Digital Orthophotography Project 2015 RFP 15.12079•MA 7 BohannanA-Huston higher number of Image frames tied together. A final AT report will be generated to document that final adjustments meet ASPRS standards for Class 1 mapping at a scale of 1" = 50'. Consistency in coordinate systems will be maintained throughout the project in production systems. As such, the AT will be developed in the project coordinate system: State Plane, Texas North Central Zone, NAD83, NAVD88 coordinate system with units of US Survey Feet. Prior to full data production, AT results will be confirmed and tested by a variety of means Including stereo measurement of control panels in stereo models set based on the final AT. These results to control will help provide validation that the AT Is meeting expected coordinate values in both horizontal and vertical dimensions. Additional tests will be run to derive preliminary 4 -band orthophotos over areas with both control and available surface elevation data. Again, "to -from" displacement measurements will be captured from the orthophotography to confirm horizontal coordinate values of known, well-defined control points visible in the preliminary orthophotography. Preliminary sample orthophotography will also be translated or written to Google Earth format to verify internal coordinate systems of output orthophotography. 5) Elevation Data Production For orthorectification, BHI would utilize existing 2011 LIDAR-based digital elevation models (DEM) where available. In areas where no surface data is available, BHI would recommend development of new elevation data produced from 2015 project aerial photography. The newly collected stereo photography would be capable of producing a DEM with resolution comparable to the 4 -foot resolution existing DEM data. As noted in the RFP, 93% of the aerial project index is covered by the existing elevation data. Analysis shows that approximately 25 square miles of new DEM data will be required, located in four different contiguous sectors of the project area of interest (AD]) (Figure 7). Figure 7. Shaded areas over Google Earth depict where new elevation data Is required. Innovations in Development of Photogrammetric High Density 3D Elevation Point Clouds To develop new elevation data, BHI proposes photogrammetric image matching or autocorrelation techniques. Forthe past 15 years, BHI has been using autocorrelation technology to support orthorectificatlon. As this technology has advanced, BHI has continued to generate Image -based surface models, now with higher data fidelity or point density. Semi -global mapping (SGM) autocorrelation supports current advanced photogrammetric autocorrelation processing for creation of high-density Image -based point cloud development. Digital Orthophotography Project 2015 RFP 15 -12079 -MA Bohannan.kHuston In fact, as these techniques entered the commercial software market, in 2012, BHI collaborated with Intergraph- software developers to test and ensure full compatibility with Microsoft Ultracam digital imagery. Since then, BHI has owned/licensed and operated this photogrammetric software (Intergraph ISAE-EM) and utilized these techniques to generate high-density 3D point clouds forthe purposes of elevation modeling and for providing 3D data to serve as a means of automating elevation attribution of building footprints with approximate drip -line elevation values. During BHI's 2014 Albuquerque orthophotography project, for example, with Microsoft UCE digital frame photography captured at 6 -Inch GSD resolution, BHI produced highly detailed 3D elevation point clouds at densities nearly equivalent to the resolution of the orthophotography or approximately 30 points per square meter (Figure 8). These Image -based point clouds are representative of a unique team capability that provides additional value comparable to LIDAR-based point cloud data generated from the same imagery used to produce orthophotogaphy. One of the advantages of these dense Image -based point clouds Is that since they are derived from color Imagery, each point natively retains Its corresponding red, green, blue (RGB) natural color value. Figure a. Digital stereo aerial photo based point cloud made[ with approximately Gap million points visualized at Albuquerque Sunport terminal. Also from 2014 Imagery, BHI has developed DEMs using these standard SGM photogrammetric point clouds for development of digital elevation models that may be utilized for topographic modeling for the purpose of dam breach analysis and downstream inundation mapping (Figure 9). Autocorrelated digital surface models provide a cost-effective means to develop detailed elevation data over the areas requiring new data creation. Digital Orthophotography Project 2015 RFP 15 -12079 -MA 9 Bohannan Huston approximately 2 miles south of Hatch, NM. The above Oft. surface model was produced using spline Interpolation modeling. The Lubbock project area Is Ideally suited for use of autocorrelatlon techniques. With the predominant land use / land cover made up of open agricultural areas, these sites exhibit high image contrast with minimal shadows, lending themselves to optimal autocorrelation elevation data development conditions over these new areas. Also, as can be seen In Figure 8, SGM-autocorrelatlon is capable of successfully matching paved surfaces; therefore, these point clouds are adept at distinguishing urban terraln features, such as highways, buildings, and bridges. On the Lubbock project, after generating the SGM point clouds forthe new areas, the points will be Interpolated into a DSM for surface data evaluation. BHI will utilize industry standard triangulation and/or spline -based surface Interpolation techniques to generate continuous Floating point raster files at the same resolution (4 -foot GSD) as the City -provided elevation data. A review of the Initial surface outputwill follow and help determine the extent to which point cloud classification, if any, may be needed to reduce potential surface artifacts (elevated features in particular) that may need additional treatment (e.g., reclassification to non - ground) in order to ensure high-quality orthorectification. 6) Orthorectification With the project AT completed and existing elevation data, batch scripts will be set up to run automated server - side orthorectificaiton of each frame found in the ATsolution. Orthorectificatlon parameters defining AT photo ID, strip ID, and other key parameters (Identified in Table 3) are formatted into a series of batch files for automated processing of orthophotos. BHI has found that establishing individual scripts for each photo can enhance production speed and quality. Since output is actively managed by the photo unit, any photo with a Digital Orthophotography Project 2015 RFP 15 -12079 -MA 10 Bohannan i Huston remaining script Is easily Identified for further processing. These scripts executed using Intergraph OrthoProe software. Table 3. Key BHI orthorectifintion production parameters to be Implemented In USER project orthorectlRatlon.

BHI will work within the City - provided project tiling scheme. All rectified frames will be mosalcked together to achieve consistent radiometric qualities across the project. Advanced seam line processing will ensure conformance with Standards for Digital Orthophotos in that feathering at boundaries of adjoining orthorectified frames are matched to minimize tonal variations (Figure 10). Seamline data will be utilized in quality sampling protocols to Inspect Intersecting road, rail, and other Infrastructure during QC. Figure 10.Onhophotogaphy PLSS quarter section the mosaic displayed In Google Earth (left( and seam line overlay Idght). Innovations in Seamline Placement: Use Building Footprints as Exclusion Layer Seamline placement Is important in orthophotography with respect to hard features, such as buildings, roads, rail, and other similar constructed Infrastructure. BHI proposes to employ existing building footprint polygons for Digital Orthophotography Project 2015 RFP 15.12079•MA 11 Bohannan A Huston usage as "exclusion" areas. This is an innovative seamlining process which can Improve orthophoto quality. BHI employs Industry standard mosalcking and color balancing software from Inphoa. This software allows for integration of exclusion polygons that act as an avoidance layer to help guide the seamline placement around these features. BHI used existing building footprints in this manner during our 2014 Albuquerque Metro Area orthophotography project. In fact, during ourwork on the 2013 North Central Texas COG project, BHI first auto - generated coarse building polygons from existing TNRIS LiDAR, which served as a building exclusion layer. Using exclusion layers in mosaicking of orthophotography creates efficiencies during the seamlining process. Although the computational effort to embed exclusion polygons Is higher, this Innovative technique saves time by helping to avoid errors; this, in turn, leads to faster processing and concentrates the work effort on other quality tasks rather than spending time in fixing seamline placement. Innovations in Bridge Deck Rectification Bridges and flyover highway Infrastructure are often subject to special attention in orthophotography projects. These features are Important for a map -registered Image base map. When Apple rolled out its map product for (Phone in 2012 with warped bridges, the aesthetic qualities of these elements in the orthophotography received very public attention. This phenomena is essentially a structure Issue in the process since high-resolution orthophoto projects typically use an underlying bare earth DEM model that does not model the bridge as an elevated structure. As a result, the pixels on the bridge get differentially rectified to the corresponding ground beneath the bridge, resulting in the warping. BHI has explored numerous techniques to ensure correct bridge placement, including Digital Terrain Model (DTM) creation. One of the most rapid and effective techniques has been through the rectification of imagery using coarse DEM rectification. BHI has adopted these techniques from standard processing approaches used In satellite data processing for geometric correction of Imagery orbits in which coarse DEMs are applied to normalize topographic relief. BHI has applied these techniques to provide for accurate terrain rectification of elevated bridge structures in which applied terrain corrections generate map -registered bridge decks that can be mosaicked along with surrounding image detail to provide for aesthetically pleasing data. Figure 11. Example of bridge deck without terrain normalization applied In raw ortho (left) and same corrected bridge (right) with terrain normalization applied to correct for bridge warping In orthophotography. Another Innovation in handling of bridge deck Infrastructure stems from our long experience in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex. Due to the high degree of bridge features present in a project such as the NCfCOG, BHI developed querying methods that pre -Identified bridge analysis for review based on those bridges present in the National Bridge Inventory (NBI) dataset available from the Federal Highway Administration and/or other available bridge location feature data. BHI would propose utilizing the NBI and other bridge data for review of City of Lubbock 2015 project data. Digital Orthophotography Project 2015 AFP 15 -12079 -MA 12 Bohannan -1 Huston To develop true-orthophotography the downtown portion of the City of Lu back, highly detailed stereo collection of all building facets Is proposed. BHI has been modeling buildings for the exacting requirements of true-orthos for many years. True orthophotography has the specific advantages in that orthophotos are produced with rectification of buildings so that distortions inherent in photography are corrected for these elevated structures. As a result, surrounding Infrastructure near buildings, which can be occluded by building lean in normal orthophotos, may be viewable in true orthophotography. Recently, in the 2013 NCTCOG project, BHI produced "true orthophotography" over the downtown Dallas skyline (Figure 12). The Dallas sky line Is one of the most complex true-orthophoto projects BHI has completed. Figure 12.30 analysis of true orthophoto buildings collected extrude to visualization In Google Earth. Innovations and Expertise in Approach to 31D Building Modeling on City of Lubbock 2015 Project For the Lubbock downtown area, BHI proposes the same approach where qualifying buildings will be modeled from the downtown 80% overlapped stereo flight. The Industry standard for true orthophotography requires creation of a sufficiently detailed DSM that incorporates all the roof facets to enable proper differential rectification of the building. True orthophotograhy Is developed from photogrammetrically collected 3D stereo building data. It is Important to collect the building facets in a topologically consistent manner to achieve a clean (no gaps/silvers, etc.) and spatially accurate depiction of the subject buildings. Stereo collection of these buildings will be completed in Intergraph Image Station Stereo for Geomedia•, which provides geospatial analysts with direct access to powerful GIS tools in a stereo viewing environment. Furthermore, collected building facets will also be validated for topology using Safe Software FMEe. FME will also be used to output the 3D building models to a DSM as well as 3D KIv1Z for visualization. True orthorectiflcation procedures will commence with the modeled processed DSM loaded into Inpho OrthoMastere, software which offers rigorous pixel based true-orthophotography rectification. Digital Orthophotagraphy Project 2015 RFP 15.12079 -MA 13 Bohannan.1Huston 7) Building Footprint Pianimetrics Update To update the City's building planimetric data, BHI proposes a proven methodology that It has recently used to collect more than 400,000 building structures in the Greater Albuquerque and City of Las Cruces, NM areas. The methodology relies on using orthophotography as the base map for collection. The orthophotography provides for a rapid collection platform where geospatial analysts can take advantage of Innovative digitizing tools that boost productivity In building collection. Construction aids are available in GeoMedia Professional software that can be linked to hot keys for productivity enhancements. Among the enhancements are orthogonality (right angles), other rapid digitizing techniques such as feature placement by rotated rectangle, and reduction In interactive vertex placement. These time -saving approaches allow BHI production to average at a building collection rate of nearly SO buildings per hour for new building collection. This collection environment also allows for extraction of architectural details to collect curved building details. while BHI does not anticipate that the same collection rate for an update, using this methodology will nonetheless Improve throughput and allow for an affordable update to the building planimetric. Figure 13. Example buildings with significant architectural detail collected over Albuquerque IMRCOG 2012) orthophotography. For the City of Lubbock, BHI would propose collection of the building footprints using similar specifications completed for our other building project in New Mexico. The criteria for building collection in Lubbock, however, would seek to maintain consistency with the existing 2010 features. In analyzing the City's existing building data, it is apparent that the building features have been collected in stereo. Although BHI is not proposing a stereo collection for the update, each building feature placed would be adjusted by orienting the footprint to where the building and visible ground meet (if visible in orthophotography). The table below outlines collection specifications typically used in BHI building collection projects. This would be proposed for the City of Lubbock's consideration. Table 4.

In the update, BHI would follow this size criterion for holes in buildings. Forthe 3D geometry, BHI would recommend using an automated technique to associate and approximate 3D to the elevation attribute of the building. Forthe purposes of the building update, once a new building polygon is generated, BHI would generate a SGM point cloud at those locations where new buildings are present. This point cloud would be used as the 3D data source to automate the 3-dimensional attribution of the geometry as well as the table "Elevation" attribute value. By applying this innovative technique, an interior inward buffer of the polygon for each building samples 3D point cloud point elevation values of WAR or SGM data. The mode value of elevations within the buffersample approximates an average building height that is based on point cloud data. Figure 14. WAR poly at dripline. As these sampling regimes are automated, the statistical modeling and sampling can be tailored to meet specific City needs. For example, in Figure 14, a LIDAR point cloud is sampled at the near edge with statistical averaging (mode) to mitigate Influence of tree canopy surrounding the building. Similarly, if the elevation values on existing buildings pertain to the highest point, analysis of new buildings and the SGM points underlying the newly collected footprints could easily derive similar elevation attribution. Analysis of the Transfer Plaza on Buddy Holly Ave. and Broadway, for example, shows the building to be approximately 20 feet above the surrounding DEM elevation model. In analyzing the elevation values on this existing building (Figure 15), it appears that the elevation data may in fact pertain to the highest elevation in the polygon. On new buildings updated for this project, BHI can calculate the highest elevation value if needed. Digital Orthophotography Project 2025 RFP 15.12079 -MA 15 Bohannan S Huston Figure 15. [luaus Transfer Plaza In Lubbock visualised agali the approximate height of the building structure. 8) Delivery Final data products will be delivered to the City of Lubbock on external USB portable hard drives.

BHI has built regional area Image service caches to support integration with Google, Bing, and other web -delivery Imagery system. Digital Orthophotography Project 2015 RFP 15.12079 -MA 16 Bohannan S Huston Quality Control Approach In this section, BHI provides a quality control plan for the City's review. This plan describes the quality control approach that BHI will implement on the project, following the company's ISO -based quality model. The following Quality Control Plan is a draft of the proposed plan/documentation for the quality control and management activities to be employed on the project during data production phases. Additionally, BHI proposes an interactive web mapping interface forthe City to review Imagery and interactively place "call points" or quality control comments to provide BHI with feedback during production and for quality control comment during the City's review of deliverable products. Details regarding the web mapping interface are provided in the section describing the "Method for Handling Errors and Omissions." Purpose: The purpose of the quality management plan is to identify quality policies that must be followed and standards that must be met; develop plans on how quality will be measured throughout the project; execute and control quality during project work; and gain City of Lubbock acceptance of the quality of all deliverables. Objective for the 2015 City of Lubbock Digital Orthophotography Project Quality Assurance: Bohannan Huston, Inc. (BHI) will follow this quality plan and framework to define the standards, processes, tests, and controls that will be deployed to ensure that the 2015 orthophotography and building footprint update collection meets the City's quality requirements. BHI Quality Pcllcy: BHi's Quality Management System (QMS) is designed to support our efforts to provide high quality services and products and to comply with the requirements of ISO 9001:2006. Quality objectives for the DIMS have been established and are reviewed by top management as needed. Our established quality policy is to: • know our customers' needs and requirements • meet and exceed our customers'expectations • meet, or exceed, our quality objectives • strive for continuous improvement Our quality policy statement is located on the BHI intranet and available to all employees and partners. All personnel are urged to be vigorous in the pursuit of quality. The quality responsibility matrix for the project is delineated in the following table. Table S.

Other Value Added to be determined — DRAFT Tools/Services Visual Daily PLS Quality Assurance: QA Will have two main focuses. First, it will ensure that checklists and control records nave been completed and filled out with sufficient detail to determine trends or systemic errors and that corrective action on those trends have been addressed and implemented Into the production environment. Second, the quality assurance team (Project Manager and QA Manager) will verify that a sufficient number of quality reviews are performed and that those reviews were comprehensive reviews of the product. Each quality review should be In decreasing number of calls, and calls should not be present in a reoccurring pattern. QA will only be performed by the QA Team. Geospatial Production: QA for internally produced products will follow the QC processes. When the production team has completed a sufficient number of QC reviews and has a high confidence in the product being error free, it may be released to the City. The production task leads will review QC documentation and ensure that all areas of errors have been properly added to the production guidance and QC checklists. Geospatial analysts performing QC processes will then choose areas of nonconformity to spot check in the deliverable. If the data has met all the quality requirements, It will be approved for delivery to the City. If the QC documentation and subsequent review of the data prove not to be acceptable, the QA manager will conduct a quality review with the production staff to determine and document the weakness of the process and institute a corrected procedure for QC. This process will be repeated until the QA manager is satisfied with the output of the QC process and the quality of the data. External Production—Aerial Acquisition: When data is received from external producers, the QC documentation will be reviewed. If this documentation does not meet the criteria listed in the quality metrics section above, the data will be immediately rejected and returned for correction of the documentation. If the documentation is sufficient, the QC task team lead will concur and move forward the processes for initial data review and validation. This allows the data to be Integrated Into production workflows. Quality Control: QC will have the following process and documentation requirements. All data will go through a thorough review using the checklist for the appropriate product. These checklists will document who is doing the review as well as whether the data Is In compliance with the requirement. If the data Is not In compliance, it will also contain the nonconformity and the corrective action. Corrective actions will include additions to guidance documents and checklists to ensure errors of this type are caught in the future during data collection or personal QC. All products produced by BHI will go through QC processes as depicted in the following table Table 7.

X) DISCLOSURE OF POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST BHI and subcontractor AGI have no past or current obligations that would pose a potential conflict of interest. BHI and Its teammate AGI do not have any current contracts with the City of Lubbock. XI) ADDITIONAL MATERIALS Dennis Sandln and Rob Dzur toured the City of Lubbock on October 21 of this year to inspect the area and gain greater insight of the project characteristics. During this trip, special attention was given to the tall building structures for confirming the level of effort required to true orthorectify 3 -inch pixel resolution imagery. The figure below captures the greatest density of structures in the downtown area that would be great candidates for true ortho imagery. As stated previously in this proposal, BHI has developed a true orthophotography approach for the City. With the building lean that is Introduced from high-resolution, 3 -Inch Imagery, most structures over five stories tall will benefit from rooftop orthorectification and the backfilling of occluded areas.
