a. Executive Summary
Aero-Graphics, Inc., an SBA-registered small business, highly values this opportunity to provide the
City of Bozeman with digital orthoimagery and building footprints to support its regulatory, land
management, planning, and engineering projects.
Aero-Graphics is uniquely qualified and has demonstrated its proficiency at performing wide-area
image acquisition projects on time, on budget, and of the highest quality for numerous County
governments, regional consortiums, City governments, and Federal government agencies throughout
the United States. We were honored to have the opportunity to perform the 2018 City of Bozeman
Digital Orthoimagery and LiDAR Data Collection and the 2021 Digital Orthoimagery.We value the
friendships we built during the project and are looking forward to working with you again.
At every stage of the project,Aero-Graphics strives to add value above and beyond the minimum
requirements. Our twin engine Cessna T31OR and top-of-the-line Vexcel UltraCam Eagle (UCE) digital
camera system will be assigned to the City of Bozeman Project. Along with its unmatched image
quality, its large footprint and lower number of required exposures translates into fewer required
flight lines and faster acquisition, allowing us to take advantage of critical narrow weather windows.
In addition,the Eagle's 100mm focal length provides a greater angle of incidence and thus exhibits less
building and tree lean than competing 70mm focal length sensors.
Above all,Aero-Graphics is recognized for its superior project management, responsiveness, and
excellent communication. Weekly progress reports with clear visualizations of project status are
provided and can easily be distributed to all project stakeholders.
Aero-Graphics is confident that its strengths will ensure the success of the City of Bozeman project, as
well as the long-term success of the City of Bozeman and its partners' future projects. We look
forward to an opportunity to demonstrate our capabilities on this contract.
b. Firm Profile
Aero-Graphics is the fastest growing geospatial company in the Intermountain West. We have been in
business for over 55 years and have had the same stable ownership for the last 40 years.

Aircraft I Aero-Graphics owns and operates seven (7) aircraft, all based out of Bountiful,
Skypark Airport KBTF,just minutes north of our main Salt Lake City office and processing
center. Our twin-engine Cessna T31OR and UltraCam Eagle digital camera system will
be dedicated to the City of Bozeman Project to ensure proper and timely delivery. The
MSRp�
UC Eagle is interchangeable between all seven aircraft. In the unlikely event that the
assigned aircraft becomes unavailable, one of the others can replace it with ease.
Each aircraft is maintained and operated with strict adherence to all FAA regulations.
IFR instrumentation and other equipment necessary to operate within Class A airspace
is standard on all our aircraft, and all are equipped with survey-grade GPS for precise
acquisition over required areas.
The sensor openings on the underside of each aircraft (pictured below) 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
Our twin-engine camera's field of view unobstructed.

Digital Camera System I 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 delivers 260 megapixels per image and the widest cross-track image format available
in any frame-based sensor currently on the market. At 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 process, QC, and
VE XC E L perform aerotriangulation, resulting in a faster delivery time.
IMAGING The UCE sensor collects visible light and near infrared imagery simultaneously at a 16-bit
radiometric resolution and is equipped with Forward Motion Compensation (FMC). It
features automatic exposure control through our flight management system but also
allows for manual overrides when necessary.
It is installed in a gyro-stabilized mount (GSM 3000) that is regularly maintained
according to schedule and passively isolated from aircraft vibration through a series of
specially manufactured springs and viscous dampers. In concert with the pilots' strict
training and talent in keeping the plane's attitude as straight as possible,the GSM helps
keep roll, pitch, and yaw angles true, even in windy or turbulent conditions. It
automatically corrects up to 5° roll, 8.4° pitch, and 6.2°yaw in either direction from
zero.
The UCE is equipped with a Vexcel UltraNAV flight management system which
integrates GPS and IMU into one cooperative unit, allowing image principal point
accuracy to 3cm. It is important to note that each time the sensor is moved to a
different aircraft, and before and after large acquisition projects, a boresight calibration
is systematically performed. This enables us to measure and account for the natural
angular misalignments between the camera and IMU and is imperative to maintaining
accuracy.
Our Quality Delivery System (QDS) requires on-ground lens cleaning, proper installation
and cable/hardware inspections for the UCE and GSM, GPS/IMU statistics analysis, and
test exposures before every mission.
Flight Plan I Track'Air flight planning software is used to create flight plans for each
area. This takes into account all project requirements, including boundaries and
associated buffers, GSD,forward/sidelap, flightline orientations, etc. The plan is then
verified for project conformity by another member of the Aerial Department. Special
focus is given here to ensure that all area boundaries and buffers are stereo-covered
and that no overlap or sidelap gaps exist, especially in areas with high relief. Flight plan
coverage and specifications are displayed on the next page.
Trimble Planning software is used to determine the Positional Dilution of Precision
(PDOP) for the project location. PDOP is used as a gauge for the overall quality of the
GPS signal. A PDOP value under 3.0 is desired for the best accuracy possible, and we
strive to fly in PDOP windows below 3.0. In addition, we observe forecasts and always
fly with a Kp Index below 4.0 to minimize geomagnetic field disturbances caused by
solar particle radiation, which can negatively affect the quality of the GPS signal.

Flight Execution I Prior to take-off, a ground verification of all aviation equipment and
camera systems is performed to ensure everything is functional and safe. Once in the
air, the flight management system (FMS) provides GPS-based guidance information to
the first flight line. Calibration of all systems (FMS/GPS/IMU, as appropriate)takes place
during a 5-minute initialization period before any exposures are taken.
With the UCE, digital images are reviewed as they are collected to ensure they meet

All results of inspection are retained in the production framework.
Digital Image Processing I Vexcel UltraMap is a sophisticated application used in the
i 3 initial color balancing of digital imagery from the UCE. It utilizes camera calibration,
P custom dodging, solar adjustment masks, high dynamic range, and location and date
time of data to minimize hot spots and large variations in color and brightness.The
resulting multi-lens, raw imagery(leve100) is then pan-sharpened (at a 1:3 color-to-pan
ratio) and converted to useable imagery(Ievel03). Bit-depth resolution is also chosen at
this stage (8-bit for this project).
Sometimes sunspots and other atmospheric factors beyond our control affect the
quality of the raw imagery. We have developed contrast enhancements and haze
filters that can be used as necessary to minimize these issues. Image radiometry is a
subjective process and the "ideal" can change from year to year even.Therefore Aero-
Graphics is committed to adjusting the imagery multiple times to meet our clients'
needs.
Image Radiometry I We perform statistical analysis of initial radiometry on selected
images throughout the project area to make sure all terrain types meet project
requirements. Radiometry is adjusted for certain terrain types if necessary.
Preproduction samples will be furnished to the City for approval prior to full-scale
production, and correct color balancing of the full image set will be reviewed by our
aerotriangulation specialists prior to orthorectification. Every effort will be made to
provide maximum detail in shadow areas.The imagery is checked against the clipping,
contrast, brightness, and color balance parameters as directed by the City.
GPS/IMU Data Post-Processing I After successful acquisition, and in parallel with image
processing, raw GPS/IMU data is processed using Applanix POSPac MMS 8.0. At this
stage, our Processing Manager performs QC of flight parameters (initialization, bank
angles, proximity to bases, etc.). The process combines the raw trajectory of the aircraft
with concurrently running base stations to refine the photo center (air point)
coordinates (XYZ) and angles (Omega, Phi, Kappa, or roll, pitch, and yaw) of the sensor,
and delivers up to 3cm accuracy.

Because the integrity and accuracy of our imagery on this project relies heavily on
control from ABGPS/IMU, it is extremely important that our Processing Manager, a
Licensed Professional Land Surveyor and Certified Photogrammetrist, conducts rigorous
QC procedures and generates several reports and charts to verify the quality and
accuracy of the data. These include PDOP, number of satellites, positional RMS, roll-
pitch-yaw, and several other quality indicators. Omega-Phi-Kappa angles and altitude
are checked at this point for conformity with project requirements.
Aero-Graphics has been performing precision ABGPS/IMU processing since 1997. Both
a IanIX our Processing Manager and our AT/Ortho Manager have been formally trained in
GPS/IMU processing through in-person Applanix University education from Applanix
■ A TRIMBLE COMPANY staff. This combination of experience and training lends strength to the efficiency and
accuracy of our results. For example, we can discern which processing mode to use and
in what situations it would yield more accurate results to process portions of a block
individually rather than all together. GPS/IMU processing is the backbone of the
accuracy for the City of Bozeman project.
Analytical Aerotriangulation I Industry-leading Trimble-Inpho Match-AT software
(Version 6.0) is utilized to perform fully analytical digital aerotriangulation for the block.
Automatic tie points and refined GPS/IMU exposure centers (air points) extend full
control for each stereo model.

Once the AT solution is complete, we use Inpho's DTMaster to check every model in
stereo. We ensure that all parallax is cleared and that all tie points are on the ground—
with no points floating or digging. Every control point must be on the center of the target
and fall vertically within one-quarter of the applicable contour interval, based on flight
height, of its surveyed position. The AT/Ortho Manager, a Certified Photogrammetrist and
GIS Professional (GISP),verifies the integrity of each AT solution before it moves forward
in the process. Our QC procedures are in place to find erroneous points and correct them
before the AT results are used in subsequent processes.
Orthorectification I Aero-Graphics will utilize existing DEM data from the 2021 project as
the initial rectification surface.The surface is then inspected and edited to ensure that the
resulting orthorectified imagery will be accurate and meet client specifications.The most
common surface improvements include removing points from buildings,generally
correcting surfaces, such as cliffs,that would warp the ortho, and adding breaklines where
necessary, especially on bridges and overpasses.
Upon completion of the surface modeling, each digital image
_ undergoes automatic ortho rectification in a one-step batch
-- process using Trimble-Inpho's OrthoMaster software. This
4 process moves each pixel into its true geographic location,
correcting for terrain relief displacement and offsets caused by
aircraft tip and tilt.
>> Final orthorectification and tile-to-tile color balancing is
performed in Inpho's OrthoMaster and OrthoVista which have
proven to provide superior radiometric and seamline results.
+, Seamlines are placed in areas of consistent tonal balance and
between buildings and bridges.
Aero-Graphics takes advantage of Inpho's parallel processing features that allows multiple
core processing of ortho tiles;this greatly expedites production. Orthorectified imagery is
manipulated in Inpho's OrthoVista software to compute subtle radiometric adjustments
that compensate for visual effects within individual images.

Planimetric Data Collection I Skilled stereocompilers will perform building footprint
updates within areas of change outlined by the City. Kevin Reid, an ASPRS Certified
Photogrammetrist, will oversee the process to ensure quality procedures are adhered
din to. New or modified features will be collected and attributed according a� G g to specifications

Quality Control I Aero-Graphics prides itself on rigorous quality control procedures.
Orthoimagery and surface data is produced outside the designated digital boundary and
then cut back to the boundary to assure thorough coverage of each project area. The
orthoimagery is then inspected by a QC Inspector completely removed from the project,
where linear and above-ground features are reviewed to detect misalignment and

h. Present and Projected Workloads
The Aero-Graphics Team possesses the capacity, expertise, and resources to easily meet the City's desired
project completion date of 90 days from photo acquisition. Our approach involves resource allocation such that
parallel processing, rather than sequential processing, is the norm. We regularly manage multiple concurrent
projects, with and without subcontractors, with varying degrees of complexity. Workloads and budgets are
closely monitored daily to ensure that schedules never slip. All staff members are cross trained to perform
multiple production tasks; this allows us the flexibility to ramp up capacity in certain departments when
needed.
Our present workload for our Orthoimagery Department (pictured below) includes a total of 12 (12) projects
currently in progress, most of which are projected to complete by April 2023. Between the months of April and
July,we currently have one (1) ortho projects scheduled.Aero-Graphics will surely have sufficient capacity,
staff, and resources to meet the scheduling demands of this contract.

j. Additional Information
Quality Delivery System (QDS) I 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.
