Indianapolis, IN (Friday 5/14/2010). The Indiana Department of Administration (IDOA) acting on behalf of the Indiana Office of Technology (IOT) today released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for new orthophotography for the State of Indiana.
The last statewide orthophotography project for Indiana was flown in 2005/2006. Under this new program, new orthophotography would begin to be flown in the spring of 2011. Funds for the statewide orthophotography program will come from state agencies, local governments, grants and other sources.
The Indiana Geographic Information Council (IGIC) and the Indiana Geographic Information Office (GIO) have worked closely together to develop this RFP and to develop a funding and partnership model to create this program for new orthophotography across Indiana.
A goal is to acquire imagery for at least one-third of the state per year in an ongoing rotation. The first year (2011) will be the middle third of Indiana (though this has yet to be finalized), since this provides the most challenge in terms of delivery in multiple coordinate systems.

Delivery of all new products will be no later than September 30th of the year that the imagery is captured. The final extents and distribution of each resolution for this project will be fixed during contract negotiations.
This new program will include imagery acquisition, and subsequent delivery of digital color orthophotography and selected optional mapping products, at resolutions of 18-inch, 1-foot, 6-inch and 3-inch imagery. Depending on pricing and availability of funds, IOT intends the base product to be 18-inch pixel resolution orthophotography statewide, plus ancillary data products. Local and regional government entities, and other groups will be encouraged to participate in this program and buy-up from the base product resolution as well as purchase ancillary and additional data products. All orthophotography and ancillary data products produced through this contract shall be public domain data without restrictions on distribution or use.

Vendors will be asked to provide quotes for the following:
Orthophotography Product Set Deliverables:
Color Orthophotography and Ancillary Products (3-band, 24-bit GeoTIFF tiles) at 18-inch pixel (Base product), 1-foot pixel, 6-inch pixel and 3-inch pixel resolution.
Optional Product Set Deliverables:
- Orthophotography tiles in Enhanced Compression Wavelet (ECW) format, compressed at 20:1
- New bare-earth digital elevation model (DEM) suitable for holding orthophotography
- LiDAR mission (1-meter post spacing, at least first and last returns) and classified (ground/non-ground) point cloud
- Two-foot contours produced from the LiDAR mission data
- Near infrared Orthophotography (false color, CIR)
- Additional products: may include planimetric capture, feature extraction, breaklines, contours, spot elevations, true orthos, oblique photography, stereo photography, etc.
Proposals are due back from the vendors on June 9, 2010, with the goal of having a signed contract in place by late summer. This schedule will provide plenty of time for program outreach, education, budgeting and buy-ups before the spring 2011 flying season begins.
