AWARD CONTRACT TO PARTICIPATE IN LOS ANGELES
REGION — IMAGERY ACQUISITION PROGRAM
Administrative Services
City Council appropriate $92,059 from the Technology Services Replacement Fund (Fund 601)
to the Technology Services Replacement Account (Account No. 2311-8601), direct staff to
execute a Memorandum of Understanding with Los Angeles County, and award contract to Los
Angeles County in the amount of $92,059 for the purchase of high-quality aerial imagery and
elevation datasets.
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clarita seeks to participate in the Los Angeles Region — Imagery Acquisition
Program (LAR -IAP) organized by the County of Los Angeles Chief Information Office.
Participation in this program will provide the City with high-quality and accurate aerial imagery
and elevation data products at significant cost savings of 60-70%. The Consortium includes the
County of Los Angeles, plus 25 cities (including Glendale, Pasadena, Los Angeles, and
Torrance) and public -sector organizations (including Caltrans) and was formed with the purpose
of acquiring high-quality spatial datasets at a reduced cost than would be available through
independent acquisition.
The project will provide digital aerial imagery data and related photogrammetric services for the
entire 4,100 -square mile Los Angeles County area. Consortium members will use the highly
accurate digital aerial imagery and other data with GIS, web -mapping systems, computer-aided
design (CAD), and engineering design applications. Delivery includes near -infrared imagery,
oblique imagery, LiDAR elevation data, and topography line data and is expected to be received
by the City before September 2006.
In order to participate in this Consortium at this time and realize these significant cost savings, as
part of this action it is necessary for the City Council to appropriate monies from the City's
Technology Replacement Fund. If the City were to independently contract for the services
provided by the LAR -IAP, the City would incur costs 60-70% higher in order to receive
comparable deliverables. The allocation of these funds will allow staff to procure these aerial
imagery and elevation data deliverables.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
1. Do not approve the award of this contract.
2. Other alternatives as identified by Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adequate funds are available in the City's Technology Replacement Fund and had been
previously anticipated for appropriation consideration as part of the Fiscal Year 2006/07 Annual
Budget process. The City's obligation to participate in the Los Angeles Region — Imagery
Acquisition Program is $92,059, and payments to the County will be made in increments of
three, beginning in February of 2006 and concluding in July of 2006.
