digital GIS basernaps in different software formats. The Zone 7 agency maintains a digital map of its managed facilities in the Pleasanton, Dublin and Livermore area. The Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department (LPFD) is a department jointly operated by the cities of Livermore and Pleasanton. The LPFD has merged the two Cities' basemaps into a common entity. An accurate GIS basemap is necessary for supporting other management applications that utilize the parcel and facilities data. The City anticipated a need to periodically secure up-to-date digital imagery for basemap corrections and established a budget to fund an aerial survey orthophoto basemap project to be flown in FY 2004-2005. Funds have already been appropriated in the General Fund for the purpose in the amount of $75,000 (account 012681-4385). The Cities of Livermore and Dublin and the Zone 7 agency have also developed and maintain automated mapping databases. It is in the common interest of these agencies and for economies of scale, to form a partnership to contract and secure aerial imagery and a base line of information about land features and development in the Livermore-Pleasanton area at a considerable cost savings. In addition, the partners also look to use the ortho-processing of the imagery as a means to fully correct their existing basemaps. Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: DISCUSSION The Cities and Zone 7 have a record of successful coordinated projects in the Livermore- Pleasanton-Dublin area. In 2001 the Cities and Zone 7 conducted a public bidding process to select a consultant to conduct a similar aerial orthophotography project and as a result of that process, HJW Geospatial, Inc. (the consultant) was determined to be the service provider most qualified to conduct the work. In 2003, the Cities and Zone 7 used the consultant to provide updates of existing information. In anticipation of the need for updating their digital aerial orthoimagery, a number of the local agencies began meeting in the Spring of 2004 to discuss the potential for once again coordinating the work. This digital imagery is a systems requirement needed to make adjustments to the parcel basemap and other layers of the GIS. As an outcome of these discussions, Livermore, Dublin, Pleasanton and the Zone 7 agency agreed to common specifications and to share in project costs. SR 05:042 Page 2
