Explanation

The State of Ohio bid and awarded a contract to Woolpert Inc. for Digital Orthoimagery services. Municipalities within Ohio can receive these images as specified in the base contract or can request enhanced imaging as described below by purchasing the enhanced imagery off a State Term Contract with Woolpert Inc. The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an agreement with Woolpert Inc. to provide the Division of Operational Support, GIS Section with enhanced Digital Orthoimagery services in accordance with the State Term Contract, CSP#0A06008. This contract was bid through and awarded by the State of Ohio, Department of Information Technology. This ordinance is being submitted in accordance with Columbus City Code Section 329.27, waiving the requirements of competitive bidding as defined by Section 329.12

The intent of this project is to acquire new countywide color digital imagery and new countywide 2-foot contours to populate the GIS database with updated imagery and contours covering the entire utility service area. This project will leverage the existing State Term Contract with the Ohio Geographically Referenced Information Program, State of Ohio for Statewide Imagery Program (OSIP) with Woolpert Inc.

This project supports stormwater and watershed management and provides higher accuracy in calculating impervious area for the stormwater utility billing system.

The Ohio Geographically Referenced Information Program (OGRIP) continues to sponsor programs to better support the users of geospatial data within Ohio and the Ohio Statewide Imagery Program (OSIP) is one program that accomplishes this goal. As a governmental subdivision of the State of Ohio,...
