PROJECT DESCRIPTION
SCOPE OF WORK
The following Tasks are the detailed scope of work. The Vendor will be responsible for delivery of these
tasks for the area of Moore County that includes all the parcels in Moore County, now referred to area of
interest from this point forward. Full tiles to be delivered of any tile that is delivered for the area of
interest. Moore County reserves the right to modify and further develop project specifications with the
Vendor. Any modifications to the State Standard or other terms of the Agreement requested by a Vendor
must be submitted to Moore County for consideration together with a written justification for the
requested change. Changes shall be permitted only upon approval of Moore County, and if evidenced in
writing by the Vendor and Moore County.
The Vendor shall acquire new high-resolution natural color digital aerial imagery with airborne GNSS-
IMU control and ground surveyed control to support orthorectification of either four-inch (4”) or six-inch
(6”) pixel resolution 4-band digital orthoimagery depending on cost. The County is also interested in an
option to add on oblique photography, if possible, at the same resolution. If the Vendor does not capture
oblique photography as part of their service, it is ok to just submit the proposal for the orthoimagery as
this is our primary need. If the Vendor captures any other data during flight as an optional add-on, the
vendor should provide a description of the service and qualifications for the county’s consideration.
Data acquisition will be consistent across the acquisition area with south to north oriented flight lines
utilizing large format aerial digital camera systems and conforming to the North Carolina Technical
Specifications for Digital Orthophoto Base Mapping, Adopted December 2014 by the Secretary of State
(the State Standard). All technical requirements referred to in this document must adhere to the
specifications set forth in the State Standard unless otherwise noted in this Scope of Work. Below is a
link to this standard:
https://it.nc.gov/documents/files/north-carolina-technical-specifications-digital-orthophoto-base-
mapping/download?attachment
The Vendor will be required to share ground control coordinates, AT data, exploitation images, look up
tables (LUTs) and any useful data along project boundary regions. This requirement will be applicable to
all Tasks.
Task 1: Flight Planning, North Carolina Validation Range Accepted and Preferred, Camera
Systems Acceptance, Control Surveys, and Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)
The purpose of this task is to perform all necessary work to complete pre-flight planning, validation
range processing, digital camera systems acceptance, control surveys, QA/QC, and reporting in
accordance with the State Standard, this Scope of Work, and other project specific standards that may be
mutually developed during scoping and execution of this project.
Control and Check Points
The Vendor shall plan and survey sufficient ground control to use with airborne GNSS-IMU control to
produce orthoimagery tiles that meets American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing
3
(ASPRS) horizontal accuracy for either 4-inch 6-inch orthophotos, 1”=100’ scale planimetric data with a
limiting RMSE of 1.0 feet in each X and Y. The NC Geodetic Survey can provide information on
existing government control monuments. If additional controls are required, the Vendor is to indicate the
location of the necessary additional control and describe how that control will be established.
Based on the number of aerotriangulation (AT) Blocks per assigned area of interest, the Vendor shall
select a defined number of previous project points not used for control to be used as independent check
points for quality review:
• 1 AT Block: 30 checkpoints evenly distributed across the entire area of interest with a
minimum of 3 per county)
• 2 AT Blocks: 40 checkpoints (20 checkpoints per AT Block evenly distributed with a
minimum of 2 per county)
• 3 AT Blocks: 60 checkpoints (20 checkpoints per AT Block evenly distributed with a
minimum of 2 per county)
The Vendor shall use their professional judgement to determine whether coordinates from previous state
project GCP are sufficient or if they must be re-occupied. The Vendor shall be responsible for recovering
the previous project state GCP and painting or setting panels as applicable. In the event the Vendor is
unable to recover any of the previous state project GCP, then the vendor shall report such and establish
and survey a new independent checkpoint in the same vicinity as the points that could not be recovered.
The Vendor is expected to identify and comply with applicable specifications set forth in the State
Standard and this Scope of Work that cover these work phases. Specific sub-tasks that the Vendor must
address include, but are not limited to, the following:
1.1. Develop and submit a Flight and Control Plan by area of interest based on the following
specifications and the State Standard in accordance with the schedule in this Scope of Work. The
flight plan will be designed to facilitate a delivery order determined by and agreed upon by the
Vendor and the Project Team. The following are the flight planning specifications and
evaluation criteria:
Flight Plan Methodology
• It is expected that the vendor develops a flight plan for the area of interest that meets the
following specifications and minimizes the overall cost to the county for the production and
delivery of 0.5-foot color orthoimagery based on their proposed equipment and procedures.
• Since the project area does not have any areas of extreme elevation, 2-D flight planning with
flying height set to average mean elevation over the planned flight line will be acceptable.
Sun Angle
• Conduct flights during optimal sun angle conditions to minimize shadows. A minimum 30-
degree sun angle
Flight Line Orientation
• N-S flight line orientation.
Nadir Ground Sample Distance (GSD)
• Nadir GSD shall be between 0.15 feet to 0.50 feet for 75.0% of planned exposures or pseudo
exposures for the push broom cameras
4
• Nadir GSD shall not be less than 0.12 feet or greater than 0.53 feet of planned exposures or
pseudo exposures for the push broom cameras
• For push broom cameras, GSD nadir values will be computed at pseudo exposure station spacing
along the flight line at 200 foot intervals
• If either Nadir GSD flight plan specification is not met, then flight plan revision may be directed
at the sole discretion of Moore County after consultation with the vendor
Transportation Feature Ground Sample Distance (GSD)
• Transportation feature GSD shall be between 0.15 feet to 0.55 feet for 98.0% of tested points
• Transportation feature GSD shall not be less than 0.10 feet or greater than 0.60 feet
• For push broom cameras, transportation feature GSD values will be computed at a distance not to
exceed 100-foot spacing along the flight line
• If either transportation feature GSD flight plan specification is not met, then flight plan revision
may be directed at the sole discretion of Moore County after consultation with the vendor
Forward and Side Overlap
• Forward overlap shall be planned at a minimum of 60%
• Side overlap shall be planned at a minimum of 30%
• The sum of void areas produced from intersecting the planned minimum reduced (F60/S30)
image footprints with the terrain as compared to a defined area (stereo overlap, county, AT Block,
or other area) shall be less than 0.10%
• Planned forward overlap shall not be less than a nominal 58% (based on maximum void area
distance parallel to flight direction – see table below)
• Planned side overlap shall not be less than a nominal 28% (based on maximum void area distance
perpendicular to flight direction – see table below)
• If any forward or side overlap flight plan specification is not met, then flight plan revision may be
directed at the sole discretion of Moore County after consultation with the vendor

The principal points of the first two and the last two exposures of each flight strip shall fall
outside the project area boundaries.
For push broom sensors, the flight design shall ensure the forward and aft imaging arrays
coverage fall outside the ends of each strip to accommodate stereo viewing of the entire
project area.
All side boundaries shall include an overlap at least equal to the side overlap
specifications for the project.
