TECHNICAL PROPOSAL
City of Fayetteville
2025 Orthophotography and Impervirous Mapping
Surdex is proposing the City contract with us using our contract through the Government Cooperative
Purchasing Program, GSA Schedule 70, Contract #47QTCA18D00J5, GSA Special Item Number (SIN) Earth
Observation Solutions: 132-41. Surdex agrees to meet the specification provided in the City’s “Request for Bid”
for the 2020 Digital Orthophotography. This proposal is a brief understanding of the scope of work and
includes a fee schedule for this project.
PROJECT AREA
The project area includes approximately 56 square miles within the city limits of the City of Fayetteville,
located in northwest Arkansas. The exact area of interest (AOI) is shown on the boundary diagram later in this
proposal. Prior to mobilization of acquisition assets and production, we will require confirmation of the
contractual project limits.
DIGITAL AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY
Surdex, a Bowman company’s aircraft will capture aerial photography of your area of interest. Each aircraft is
equipped with high-precision digital aerial mapping sensors. The acquisition plan will be designed to achieve
photogrammetric accuracies based on the known requirements requested by Fayetteville and generally
accepted industry practices. Our image sensors are equipped with forward motion compensation and gyro -
mount sensor leveling features. To supplement the required photogrammetric ground control, all aircraft and
sensors are equipped with Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) navigation and Inertial Navigation
System (INS) technology. Our direct digital sensors capture Panchromatic (PAN), Red, Green, Blue (RGB) and
near Infrared (IR) bands simultaneously. Processing and delivery of supplemental image bands is available
upon request for an additional charge.
Acquisition Conditions
We will acquire imagery when the sky is free of clouds, cloud shadows and atmospheric haze, generally
between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. and/or when the sun angle is greater than 30 degrees.
GROUND CONTROL SURVEYS
We will use existing photo identifiable control points provided by Fayetteville to support geospatial data
production for this project. We will design a control plan for Fayetteville to work from. We will perform
additional ground surveys to support the increased requirements for 3” imagery and impervious geospatial
data production projects. This surveying will be performed to an accuracy and density required to support the
mapping project. The American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) Positional Accuracy
Standards for Digital Geospatial Data defines the accuracy of ground survey points used in the generation of
geospatial data products.
TRIANGULATION
All aerial imagery collected for this project will be processed through an analytical triangulation solution that
is controlled to ground survey points.

ORTHOIMAGERY MAPPING
Surdex, a Bowman company will produce digital orthorectified aerial image tiles consistent with the shapefile
area of interest (AOI) and tile layout provided by Fayetteville. The orthoimage tiles will be provided at a
horizontal scale of 1″=50' at a ground resolution of 3”. Unless specifically requested in writing, we reserve the right
to utilize, if available, any existing elevation model deemed suitable for orthorecti fication to meet the contractual
accuracy requirements as stated. If suitable elevation data is not available, we will generate a new elevation
model using manual and automated photogrammetric techniques. If requested, we will deliver the elevation
model used in the orthorectification process. To improve efficiency of client accept ance, we may provide, at its
discretion, seamline data for reference. Standard image format shall be tiff and tiff world (.tif/.tfw) and
deliverables will be provided on an external hard drive. Additional image formats are available. An additional
charge may be required for additional formatting or processing.
IMPERVIOUS MAPPING
Our technicians will collect visible and identifiable features from the aerial photography that are generally
shown on maps at 1”=50’. We will digitize the planimetric features in a 2D environment, following industry
accepted practice. Field data collection of planimetric features is not included in this proposal.
Planimetric features to be shown include:
• building
• building under construction
• concrete
• deck
• driveway
• golf cart path
• home
• parking
• patio
• pool (above ground)
• pool (below ground)
• road
• runway
• shoulder
• sidewalk
NOT to include parking lot planter islands
For driveways and parking area polygons, add an attribute for material – the only material to be
populated is rocked surfaces

ORTHOIMAGERY MAPPING
Surdex, a Bowman company will produce digital orthorectified aerial image tiles consistent with the shapefile
area of interest (AOI) and tile layout provided by Fayetteville. The orthoimage tiles will be provided at a
horizontal scale of 1″=50' at a ground resolution of 3”. Unless specifically requested in writing, we reserve the right
to utilize, if available, any existing elevation model deemed suitable for orthorecti fication to meet the contractual
accuracy requirements as stated. If suitable elevation data is not available, we will generate a new elevation
model using manual and automated photogrammetric techniques. If requested, we will deliver the elevation
model used in the orthorectification process. To improve efficiency of client acceptance, we may provide, at its
discretion, seamline data for reference. Standard image format shall be tiff and tiff world (.tif/.tfw) and
deliverables will be provided on an external hard drive. Additional image formats are available. An additional
charge may be required for additional formatting or processing.
IMPERVIOUS MAPPING
Our technicians will collect visible and identifiable features from the aerial photography that are generally
shown on maps at 1”=50’. We will digitize the planimetric features in a 2D environment, following industry
accepted practice. Field data collection of planimetric features is not included in this proposal.
Planimetric features to be shown include:
• building
• building under construction
• concrete
• deck
• driveway
• golf cart path
• home
• parking
• patio
• pool (above ground)
• pool (below ground)
• road
• runway
• shoulder
• sidewalk
NOT to include parking lot planter islands
For driveways and parking area polygons, add an attribute for material – the only material to be
populated is rocked surfaces
