Description

This contract calls for McHenry County to obtain high‑resolution, true‑color, four‑band digital orthophotography covering the entire county (≈ 600 sq mi) plus a 1‑mile exterior buffer. The awardee must conduct a spring 2025 leaf‑off aerial survey, collect new ground‑control points, integrate existing county control data, meet ASPRS Level II positional accuracy (≈ 7.5 cm pixels), and deliver gap‑free mosaics, a DEM for orthorectification, and complete FGDC‑compliant metadata. The work is governed by the County’s Standard Terms and Conditions, requiring the County to retain full ownership of all deliverables, compliance with Illinois prevailing‑wage and labor statutes, and provision of bonds/insurance where applicable. The base‑year contract runs from 1 Dec 2024 to 30 Nov 2025, with three optional one‑year extensions subject to funding.

Contract value

$750,000

Public‑sector orthophotography projects of comparable size (≈ 600 sq mi) and resolution (3‑inch ground resolution) typically range from $500,000 to $1,200,000 depending on terrain complexity, required ground‑control density, and post‑processing services. Considering the inclusion of DEM integration, metadata production, and the optional three‑year renewal option, a midpoint estimate of roughly $750,000 for the base year is reasonable. This estimate accounts for aircraft operation costs, sensor rental, crew labor, photogrammetric processing, quality‑control, and the County’s overhead for project management and legal compliance.
