Title
Approval of Aerial Photography Purchase with Cumberland County E911
Body
SUMMARY: City Engineering staff has been in discussion with E911 about updating the City’s aerial photography. The City has obtained new aerial imagery every 5 years since 2000. Since 2010, the city has partnered with E911 for approximately $10,000.00 each time (2010 and 2015). There is a notable difference between the imagery the City desires and the product E911 purchases. The difference is in the accuracy of the imagery. The discussion with E911 has been in regard to upgrading the product they receive to the accuracy that is needed by the City. The cost difference is $50,809.00. City staff included an estimated cost of $45,000.00 in the 2019/2020 budget. The standard contract between the Cumberland County 911 aerial imagery company, Pictometry, allows for the amount to be spread over two years. The amount due this fiscal budget year would be $25,404.50, with a balance to be paid in the 2020/2021 fiscal budget of $25,404.50.
Staff recommends the approval of the purchase through the Cumberland County 911 with a payment of $25,404.50 this fiscal year and $25,404.50 in the 2020-21 fiscal budget year.
