Item 433
CONTRACT FOR PHOTOGRAMMETRIC MAPPING SERVICES
This contract is made and entered into this 9th day of February 1995 by and
between the City of Lubbock, Texas, hereinafter called the City, and Williams -Stackhouse
Incorporated, hereinafter called WSI.
I. Scope of Work
WSI shall furnish, in a professional and workmanlike manner photogrammetric mapping
services as described within this Scope of Work. Services shall include developing
1 foot interval contour maps by obtaining aerial photography, control surveys, analytical
aerotriangulation, and digital map compilation for at least 34 square miles. Additional
aerial photography, rectified photo enlargements, and photo mosaics shall be provi-
ded for an area of 342 square miles. The attached map (Exhibit A) identifies these
areas. WSI shall perform these services in accordance with the specifications
described herein, and as described in WSI's proposal dated December 14, 1994, and
the City's Request for Proposals (RFP) #13120.
A. Aerial Photography
To produce the required map data and photo products, WSI shall obtain new
black -and -white aerial photography at three scales: 1 "=420' (2520' above
ground), 1"=1000' (6000' above ground), and 1"=3000' (18,000' above ground).
The 1"=420' coverage shall be used for digital map compilation at 1"=200' with a
1' contour interval. It shall be taken only of the 34 square mile area to be mapped
and shall consist of six north -south flight strips and two east -west flight strips. Each
photograph shall be taken to overlap the preceding photograph in the direction of
flight by approximately 60 percent. Photographs from adjacent flight strips shall
overlap by approximately 30 percent. This shall result in full stereoscopic coverage
of the area and shall be suitable for attaining 1 "=200' scale/1 foot interval contour
map accuracy standards.
The 1"=1000' coverage shall be used to prepare scale -rectified photo enlargements
at a final scale of V=200'. It shall be taken of the entire 342 square mile project
area and shall consist of 28 north -south flight strips centered on each row of
sections. Each photograph shall be taken to overlap the preceding photograph in
the direction of flight by approximately 80 percent. Photographs from adjacent flight
strips shall overlap by approximately 41 percent. Photography taken in this manner
shall ensure that each photo sheet can be produced from the center portion of a
single exposure.
The 1 "=3000' coverage shall be used to prepare a photo mosaic at a final scale of
1"=1500'. It shall be taken of the entire 342 square mile project area and shall
consist of five east -west flight strips. Each photograph shall be taken to overlap the
preceding photograph in the direction of flight by approximately 60 percent.
Photographs from adjacent flight strips shall overlap by approximately 30 percent.
WSI shall take the photography with Kodak Double -X 2405 Aerographic Film using
a Wild RC -30 precision mapping camera equipped with eight fiducial marks and a
standard six inch focal length.
All photography shall be accomplished during the winter season when foliage cover
is reduced and during the high -sun -angle period of the day (10:00 am to 2:00 pm).
The photography shall also be taken with calm, clear atmospheric conditions when
the ground is not obscured by clouds, cloud shadows, haze, fog, or snow.
The photography shall be carefully examined with respect to scale overlap/sidelap,
crab, tip/tilt, image density, and overall quality. Exposures that do not meet
specifications, or are in some other way deemed unacceptable, shall be reflown as
soon as conditions permit. All acceptable photography shall be labelled with date,
scale, project name, and exposure number.
Once the photography is checked for quality and labelled, WSI shall prepare 9" x
9" contact prints using Kodabrome RC II photographic paper. One set of prints for
each flight scale shall be delivered to the City. Additional sets shall be prepared
for a photo index and for use during the control survey and aerotriangulation phases
of the project.
Photo indexes shall be prepared by aligning and matching the contact prints and
stapling them to a board. The indexes shall then be photographically reduced and
printed onto overlapping 34" x 34" sheets. Each sheet shall contain title information,
project name, date, scale and north arrow. Delivery to the City shall include one set
of prints on Kodabrome RC II photographic paper.
All original aerial negatives with flight reports shall be delivered to the City.
B. Control Surveys and Monumentation
Horizontal and vertical survey data shall be established at approximately 103
locations in and around the mapping area.
This phase of the project shall be subcontracted to and performed by Wilson
Surveying Company, Inc. Prior to obtaining the aerial photography, field
reconnaissance and targeting shall be performed. As many of the control points
as practical shall be pre -marked (targeted) to ensure visibility on the photography.
Acquisition of the survey data shall be accomplished using three Trimble Naviga-
tion 4000 SSE GPS receivers.
Current Trimble software shall be used for baseline processing, network analysis,
and network adjustment.
Quality assurance shall be provided by conforming to guidelines outlined in the
FGCC "Geometric Geodetic Accuracy Standards Specifications for Using GPS
Relative Positioning Techniques." All network design, computations, and final
values shall be performed by a Registered Professional Land Surveyor, with current
license in the State of Texas.
The horizontal control shall be established to second- order accuracy standards and
shall be referenced to the Texas State Plane Coordinate System, North Central
Zone, NAD 1927. The vertical control shall be established to at least third -order
standards and referenced to mean sea level based on NGVD 1929. At each
control point an iron pin and aluminum cap shall be left, as a minimum, for
future survey use.
A comprehensive survey report shall also be furnished. This report shall be bound
in loose leaf form and shall include a narrative section, GPS compensation
summaries and results, description sheets, azimuth references, coordinates,
and elevations.
C. Analytical Aerotriangulation
WSI shall expand the network of control points obtained in the field through an
analytical aerotriangulation adjustment which shall provide supplemental control
for setting individual stereo -models in WSI's photogrammetric plotting instruments.
Film diapositives (9" x 9") shall be prepared from the photography on which WSI
shall mark both the field points and the supplemental points required for setting the
stereo -models. WSI shall use a Wild PUG point transfer devise for pugging the
emulsion of the diapositives and shall then set each diapositive in a Zeiss C-120
Planicomp analytical stereoplotter to determine relative coordinates for each pug
point. These values, along with the known ground coordinates, shall be used to
compute the ground coordinates for the supplemental points.
From the aerotriangulation, a computer printout shall show the following: ground
control; triangulated ground point residuals; triangulated camera stations;
triangulated ground points; corrections applied to ground control; computed
coordinates for all control points, passpoints, and checkpoints with their field or
computer designations; and a root -mean -square error summary of the final
adjustment.
A report shall accompany the printout describing procedures and computer
programs used. A listing of all field control not used in the final computer run shall
also be shown with a description of any misclosures encountered at control points
and steps taken to rectify the discrepancies.
D. Digital Map Compilation
WSI shall use Zeiss first -order analytical stereoplotters to compile digital
topographic mapping at 1 "=200' scale with a 1' contour interval for an area of
approximately 34 square miles.
The digital data shall be edited and formatted with Intergraph MicroStation 5.0
software. During the edit process, text shall be added and the data placed in the
final layered structure.
Map data to be shown shall include the following: contours (1' interval), spot
elevations, coordinate grid ticks and values (NAD 27), highways/streets/roads
(including names), fencelines, bridges, drainage features (rivers, streams, lakes,
ponds, etc.), dams, outline of wooded areas, cross-country power lines, tanks,
and control monuments.
After the edit and structuring of the data, a plot file shall be created for each sheet.
One set of paper verification plots and, upon approval, one set of final mylar plots
shall be produced and delivered. Each plot shall be 34" x 34" in overall size and
shall contain a standard title and border format that shall include project name,
north arrow, bar scale and sheet number.
WSI shall also deliver to the City one set of digital files in Intergraph MicroStation
5.0 format.
All digital map compilation shall meet or exceed the following photogrammetric
accuracy standards:
Ninety percent of all well defined planimetric detail shall be plotted to within
1/100" at map scale, and no such feature shall be in error by more than 1/50".
Ninety percent of all solid -line contours shall be accurate to within one-half
the contour interval, and no such contour shall be in error by more than one
full interval.
In areas of dense vegetation (heavy brush, trees, etc.) where visibility of the
ground is obscured, the contours shall be shown as dashed lines and plotted
as accurately as photogrammetric methods permit.
Ninety percent of all spot elevations shall be accurate to within one-fourth the
contour interval, and no such elevation shall be in error by more than one-half
the interval.
Throughout the survey and map compilation phases of the project, efforts shall be
made to ensure that the new mapping shall tie to the City's previous mapping. If
any erroneous data is discovered in the previous work where tie-ins are difficult
or impossible, the City shall be informed of the problem.
E. Photographic Enlargements
WSI shall prepare scale -rectified photo enlargements to correspond in size and
scale to each of the 1 "=200' map sheets. This shall cover the entire 342 square
mile project area which includes both the 34 square miles of new mapping as
well as areas of previous mapping.
Each enlargement shall be printed on 4 mil. reproducible film positive material and
shall be 34" x 34" in overall size. The imagery shall be printed with a 133 line -
per -inch screen and shall be centered on each one mile by one mile section.
Each sheet shall be printed with a standard title and border format containing
project name, north arrow, scale bar, date, sheet number.
Each enlargement shall be scale -rectified by projecting the imagery to a "best fit"
of the map detail. This process shall adjust for tip and tilt as well as scale.
F. Photo Mosaic
WSI shall prepare and deliver a 1 "=1500' photo mosaic of the entire 342 square
mile project area. This shall be accomplished by enlarging the 1"=3000'
photography and scale -rectifying each individual photograph. They shall be
contour -cut, feather -edged, and spliced to give the appearance of one large
photograph of the area. The mosaic shall then be copied and printed on
three overlapping 40" x 72" sheets.
G. Delivery Products
One set of 9" x 9" contact prints
One set of photo index prints
One set of original aerial negatives with flight reports
One survey control report with description sheets and GPS survey data

CITY OF LUBBOCK
MEMO
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Blas J. Gomez, P.E., Senior Civil Engineer, Chair
of Review Committee
SUBJECT: Photogrammetric Mapping Services
Consultant Selection
DATE: December 21, 1994
The City Council authorized preparation of aerial
photography and contour maps as part of the FY 94-95 Capital
Projects Budget (Fund -Project #: 293-9090). This project
includes: 1) Preparation of a new aerial mosaic for the
city and portions of its Extra Territorial
Jurisdiction(ETJ); 2) Creation of approximately 340
rectified aerial photographs at a 1"=200' scale; and 3)
Contour mapping of approximately 35 square miles of the
city's ETJ, including digital data for GIS use and mylar
copies at 111=2001 scale.
Up-to-date aerial photographs for the city and much of its
ETJ will replace current aerial photos that are as much as
ten years old. The contour maps to be produced will provide
complete and accurate information for the completion of the
Master Drainage Plan and Drainage Manual which are currently
being prepared by a private consultant.
Aerial photographs and contour maps are used by many
departments and the public on a daily basis. City
departments, including Planning, Building Inspection, Code
Enforcement, Right -of -Way, LP&L, Parks, and others, need
accurate and up-to-date information to complete their daily
tasks and minimize on-site inspection. Up-to-date photos
and contours are needed for design activities in
Street/Drainage Engineering, Water Utilities Engineering and
Storm Water Management. They also expedite the work of
field crews and survey teams in Street/Drainage Engineering
and Water Utilities.
In order to obtain accurate aerial photography and contour
maps, it is always advisable to fly the target areas during
the winter months, when deciduous trees are barren,
providing optimum visibility. For this reason, the Staff
proceeded to prepare a Request for Proposals (RFP) early in
the fiscal year, so that aerial photos can be taken, at the
latest, in February of 1995.
In response to the Request for Proposals (RFP), five (5)
firms submitted proposals by the closing date of December
15, 1994. Listed in alphabetical order, these firms are:
International Aerial Mapping Co., San Antonio, TX.
Koogle & Pouls Engineering, Inc., Alburquerque, NM.
Surdex Corporation, Chesterfield, MO.
Tobin Surveys, Inc., San Antonio, TX.
Williams-Stackhouse Incorporated, San Antonio, TX.
Following City policies and procedures, Bob Cass, City
Manager, appointed a committee of seven (7) people to review
the proposals received and make recommendations to the City
Council on the most qualified firm to provide the
photogrammetric services being requested. The review
committee consisted of:
Blas Gomez, P.E., Storm Water Management, Chairman
Keith Smith, P.E., Street/Drainage Engineering
David Jones, Airport Administration
Mike Murphy, P.E., Water Utilities Engineering
John Webb, Parks Department
Sally Abbe, Planning Department
Wayne Hicks, P.E., LP&L Engineering
The first meeting of the review committee was held on
December 16, 1994. Each of the committee members received a
copy of the RFP, a complete set of proposals, and a Rating
Form. The committee discussed the criteria listed in the
RFP and decided how each would be weighted on the Rating
Form.
The criteria used for selection of the consultant was
described in the RFP and included:
A. Firm Qualifications: including experience with similar
projects, professional references, and firm's years of
experience.
B. Personnel Qualifications: including experience and
background of the project manager, experience of staff
to be involved in the project, and number and level of
personnel to be assigned to the project.
C. Methodology: this includes compliance with and
understanding of the RFP, equipment to be used in the
project, and work schedule.
The committee members reviewed the proposals on their own
time before the second meeting, which took place on December
21, 1994. The composite scores were tabulated and they
ranged from a high score of 93.09 to a low score of 81.66.
After further discussion of each firm's qualifications and
proposal, the committee ranked the firms as follows:
2
1. Williams -Stackhouse Incorporated
2. Surdex Corporation
3. International Aerial Mapping Co.
4. Koogle & Pouls Engineering, Inc.
5. Tobin Surveys, Inc.
While any of these companies could adequately perform the
services being requested, the committee is hereby
recommending Williams -Stackhouse Incorporated (WSI) as the
aerial mapping company to provide the services required for
this project. WSI is proposing a completion time of nine
(9) months, which the Staff considers is reasonable and
would meet the needs of the City.
WSI has many years of experience in the surveying and
mapping disciplines, and uses state-of-the-art equipment and
technology. This company is also familiar with the local
conditions, as they have previously completed numerous
projects in the Lubbock vicinity including topographic
mapping of the Texas Tech Campus. For the surveying portion
of the project, WSI will utilize the services of a local
firm, Wilson Surveying Company, Inc. Wilson Surveying has
an in-depth knowledge of existing survey control points and
local conditions, and has performed numerous projects for
the City and other local private and public agencies.
Wilson Surveying will utilize Global Positioning Surveying
(GPS) which should result in better accuracy, completion
time and cost effectiveness than conventional surveying.
The selection committee hereby recommends that the City
Council authorize Staff to negotiate a contract with
Williams -Stackhouse, Inc. It is our understanding that if
no response is received from Council members by Friday,
January 6, 1995, then we shall proceed to negotiate a
contract. If a mutually acceptable contract cannot be
negotiated with Williams -Stackhouse, then we request
authorization to negotiate with the firm who rated second
highest in the evaluation, Surdex Corporation.
