Client-Consultant communication throughout the project is vital to success. Aero-
Graphics embraces this necessity by holding in-person kickoff and debriefing meetings,
through regular progress reports,and by being available to discuss any project-related
issue at any time throughout the project.
Our 9,000-square foot facility located in Salt Lake City supports all management,
administrative,aerial acquisition management,surveying, LiDAR processing, ortho
processing, and mapping functions. Aero-Graphics welcomes any member of Bozeman
City management to visit at any time. Client visits are educational and help us refine
our processes to more efficiently meet their needs.
Challenges and Solutions. Accomplishing the full scope of this project will not come
easy. Weather,terrain, equipment, property ownership, and schedule are but a few of
the ones we anticipate encountering.
1. Challenge: In Bozeman,the chance of inclement weather over the course of April is
• s rapidly increasing, starting the month at 24%and ending it at 30%.
�,. Solution: Owning our own aircraft allows us to control our own flight schedule and
y take advantage of good weather opportunities when they arise.
- 2. Challenge: Multiple sensors and components are used simultaneously in the
acquisition phase, increasing the risk that one part may cause the entire system to
fail.
Solution: Aero-Graphics invests in the latest and most reliable equipment available,
strictly maintaining it through careful inspection and calibration. Our Quality
Delivery System (QDS) on the following page outlines our QA/QC process.
Additionally,our sensor vendors provide 24/7 support with available loaner sensors.
3. Challenge:Approximately 2,000'of terrain relief exists within the project area.
Solution: Track'Air flight planning software will be used to create the project flight
plan. This considers all project requirements, including boundaries,terrain relief,
GSD,fore/sidelap,flight line orientations, etc. Flight lines will be carefully planned
(and broken if necessary)to maintain flight crew safety and consistent overlap
between photos.
4. Challenge: Control point locations may involve placement on private property
Solution: Aero-Graphics will attempt to find alternative locations within public
rights-of-way. If not,we will obtain property owner permission in advance of
setting control.
5. Challenge: Processing ortho imagery, lidar data, and digitizing new planimetric
features involves a large output of labor which can negatively impact schedule.
Solution:Aero-Graphics augments its internal processing staff with tried and proven
subcontractors. This allows us to ramp up production when facing tight
turnarounds, as we typically do from March to November.

Quality Delivery System (QDS). QA/QC is built into each one of our processes,from
planning and design to production. Our QDS, customized for the City of Bozeman
project,organizes and lists specific, measurable QA/QC steps for each process and
assigns personal responsibility to ensure each is performed with exactness. Quality
Assurance is separated from Quality Control to make our system comprehensive.
QA denotes a preventive step or design that is performed before the associated process
to avoid mistakes. QC is a task that takes place after the associated process and aims to
find and rectify mistakes that do slip through.

Proposed Work Plan
Target Placement and Control Surveying. Prior to photography, Robert Peccia and
Associates will target and survey the 16 aerial control points shown in RED in the
attached KMZ file. Control will tie to both UTM Zone 12 and Montana State Plane
Coordinates. Horizontal datum shall be NAD 83 (2011);Vertical datum shall be NAVD
1988. Working units shall be in Meters.
Horizontal and vertical control for all targets will be accurate to within 5 cm.
Aero-Graphics will provide a Survey Control Report to the City of Bozeman in XLS format
with the following information included:AGPS/IMU coordinates (XYZ OPK), NAD83
Latitudes, NAD83 Longitudes, Project Eastings, Project Northings, Elevations,and
description of equipment and software used in processing.
Targets will be 1'wide x 6'arms.Targets will be in contrast with the ground and clearly
visible from the air. Monuments will be flush with the ground (or otherwise noted in
the control listing).
Aircraft. Aero-Graphics owns and operates three (3) aircraft, including a new twin-
engine Cessna T310R,which speeds acquisition and provides further redundancy and
risk mitigation to our fleet(chart shown on next page). When not flying,these aircraft
are housed at our 9,500-square foot hangar at Bountiful Skypark near Salt Lake City.
Our Cessna T31OR and T206 will be dedicated to this project to ensure proper and
timely delivery. The UC Eagle is interchangeable between all three aircraft. If the
assigned aircraft is unavailable, one of the others can replace it with ease.
Each of our aircraft is maintained and operated with strict adherence to all FAA
regulations. IFR instrumentation and other equipment necessary to operate within
Class A airspace are standard on all aircraft,and all are equipped with survey-grade GPS
for precise acquisition over required areas.

The sensor openings on the underside of each aircraft have been fabricated such that
the camera lenses are open to the outside. Metal shields have been installed that
protect the camera lenses from oil and exhaust,while leaving the camera's field of view
unobstructed.
As part of Aero-Graphics' Risk Management System (RMS), every lift requires a pre-
flight inspection of the associated aircraft. This includes the following:
• Fuel Level—Instrumental and Visual • Engine Oil Level
• Aileron and Control Surface freedom • Propeller Condition
of movement • Landing Gear Condition
We now have an in-house A&P (airframe& power) mechanic who can quickly respond
to mechanical issues in the field. We keep an on-the-shelf inventory of key parts for our
aircraft to further improve the speed of necessary repairs.
To maximize safety for our flight crews,we have installed Traffic Collision Avoidance
Systems (TCAS) in each of our aircraft. This provides an ATC-independent buffer around
the aircraft that detects and displays the position of surrounding aircraft, up to seven (7)
nautical miles and 3,500 vertical feet away. In addition,we have installed weather
monitoring systems that automatically relay real-time pilot-reported weather
conditions.
Flight Range: 1,300 mn
Cessna T31OR Maximum Cruise Speed:2301
FAA Certified Ceiling:25,000 ft
Cessna 206 Flight Range:800 nm
Turbo Stationair Maximum Cruise Speed: 160 kt
FAA Certified Ceiling:25,000 ft
Imagery and UDAR Sensors. Aero-Graphics'state-of-the-art Vexcel UltraCam Eagle
(UCE)digital camera is noted as one of the finest digital camera systems currently
available. It has a 100.5mm focal length and delivers 260 megapixels per image and one
I of the widest cross-track image formats available in any CCD frame based sensor
! (20,010 pixels). At a 7.5cm GSD,the swath covers nearly 1 mile on the ground. This
configuration provides the best image-size to image-number balance, i.e.the larger
footprint size allows a smaller number of images to cover the project boundary,which
translates into fewer images to georeference,tag, metadata,and QC,which translates
into faster delivery time for us and for the City.
►� The imagery flight will require 29 flight lines and 650 exposures at a 7.5cm GSD for
complete coverage.
In 2013,Aero-Graphics acquired the Optech Orion H300 LiDAR sensor. It is one of the
latest, most versatile sensors on the market today. With the Orion,Optech designed a
Aero-Graphics,Inc: Geospatial Services 6

aero-graphics
new laser—from the ground up—especially suited to mid-altitude, high-accuracy
engineering-scale surveys. It delivers proven accuracies within five (5) cm vertically,can
send/receive up to 300,000 pulses per second, can receive up to four(4) returns per
pulse,and maintains the same small pulse size regardless of flying height.
The flight will achieve a point density of approximately 8.3 points per square meter. To
j fully capture the project area,97 flight lines are required at a flying height of 3,400'above
I mean terrain elevation,a pulse rate frequency of 225 kHz,and an 18-degree full scan angle.
-- - -- --- The MAR sensor will collect an average swath width of roughly 1,070 m on the ground.
GPS/IMU Data Post-Processing. After successful acquisition, raw GPS/IMU data is
processed for the flights using Applanix POSPac MMS software. At this stage,QC of
flight parameters (initialization, bank angles, proximity to bases, etc.) is performed. This
process refines the air point coordinates (XYZ)and angles (Omega, Phi, Kappa, or roll,
pitch, and yaw) of the plane, and delivers up to 3cm accuracy. It produces a refined
SBET(trajectory)for LiDAR processing.
Relative LiDAR Data Calibration. Using Terra Match/TerraScan software,we then
perform relative calibration by correcting for roll, pitch, heading, and scale discrepancies
between adjacent flight lines and test the resulting relative accuracy to ensure
interswath overlap consistencies 5 8cm RMSDz and_<16cm max. Relative vertical
accuracy is also assessed by smooth surface repeatability in a single swath over hard,
flat surfaces. Repeatability will not exceed 6cm. A relative accuracy data quality
polygon feature class overlay is created depicting the limited isolated areas exceeding
USGS standards.
LiDAR Data Classification. Once the relative calibration and accuracy assessment is
completed,the LiDAR points are classified to the minimum USGS point cloud
classification scheme:
Code Description
1 Processed,but unclassfied
2 Bare earth
7 Low noise
9 Water
10 Ignored ground(near a breakline)
17 Bridge Decks
18 High noise
This is accomplished by using a series of classification algorithms in TerraScan. The
algorithm parameters will be fine-tuned to yield the best results for the terrain
encountered in the project area. This data will then be put through a rigorous QA/QC of
bare-earth classification, conducted manually to ensure accuracy.
Both raw and classified point cloud data,with embedded flight line information,will be
delivered in fully-compliant LAS v1.4 format in the City's pre-defined tile structures.

Hydro-Flattening, Hydro-Enforcement,and Breakline Compilation. Breaklines and
hydro-enforcement of water and drainage features are completed in this stage.
Breaklines will be collected for water bodies larger than %-acre, drainages<2 meters
wide (single line), drainages>2 meters wide(double line), and permanent islands one
(1) acre or larger within a water body. Elevations will be removed from the tops of
selected drainage structures (bridges and culverts)to depict the terrain under those
structures. Breaklines will be delivered as a feature class in File GDB format.
DTM Creation. Filtered LiDAR model key points (MKPs)for 1ft contours shall be
delivered as a regular DTM feature class in File GDB format.
DEM Creation. Hydro-Flattened, Bare-Earth DEMs will be created from the ground
surface TIN model at a 0.5-meter cell size in ESRI GRID format and delivered in the City's
predefined tile structures. 1st return (highest hit) DEMs will also be provided at a 0.5m
cell size. There will be no DEM voids within the project area. DEM tile extents that fall
outside of the project area will be coded "NODATA".
Analytical Aerotriangulation. Industry-leading Trimble-Inpho Match-AT software is
utilized to perform fully analytical digital aerotriangulation for the image block.
Automatic tie points and refined GPS/IMU exposure centers(air points)extend full
control for each stereo model. This project will be controlled by a combination of
ground control values and airborne GPS/IMU.
Planimetric Data Collection
_J;. `� �� ! Skilled stereocompilers will perform GIS data layer updates within areas of change
outlined by the City. Kevin Reid, an ASPRS Certified Photogrammetrist,will oversee the

distributed processing features. This allows multiple idle workstations to process vast
amounts of ortho tiles simultaneously,which greatly expedites turnaround time.
Orthorectified imagery will be manipulated in OrthoVista software to compute subtle
radiometric adjustments that compensate for visual effects within individual images.
Furthermore,OrthoVista performs a block-wide color balance by adjusting adjacent
images to match in color and brightness. Tonal differences are not detectable between
individual images.
Multiple orthophotos are combined into one seamless,color balanced and
geometrically-perfect ortho mosaic. Separate RGB and CIR image files will be delivered
at a 7.5cm pixel resolution in uncompressed 24-bit TIFF and MrSID formats, with
associated world files,furnished on portable hard drives. Imagery will be broken up into
the City's predefined tiling schemes. Files will be tone matched to optimize image
quality throughout the project. An overall MrSID mosaic will also be delivered at a 15cm
pixel size.
