City of Augusta/Richmond County, GA
EXHIBIT B - PROJECT WORK PLAN
Aerial Photol!raphv:
Kucera will perform the aerial photography flyover of the County in the February 1 - March 15
time frame following target placement and before significant emergence of leaves. The
photography will be taken at times of appropriate weather (clear, no excessive cross-winds),
ground (no smoke, fog, snow, flooding), sun angle (>300), and satellite PDOP (~3 or less)
conditions.
The photography will be taken from one or more of Kucera's Piper Navajo Chieftain aircraft
using Leica ADS40 large format digital aerial cameras with continuous scan/sweep-style image
capture. The flying height used will be approximately 4700', yielding a ground sample distance
(GSD) of approximately 0.5' The imagery will be simultaneously captured in the RGB (color)
and NIR (near infrared) spectrum bands and will have 100% stereo coverage provided by
forward and aft looking sensor CCD lines. The imagery will be acquired in continuous image
swaths having 30% side overlapping coverage. The image swaths will be of sufficient number
and length to provide full coverage of the County and beyond as needed for "full tile" orthophoto
production at the County periphery.
During the aerial flyover the digital camera position and angular orientation will be accurately
measured via airborne GPS/IMU survey technology integrated with the aerial camera system.
The airborne GPS/IMU survey data will be used for the initial georeferencing of the digital aerial
Imagery.
The deliverable for the aerial photography phase will be a digital flight index showing the image
swath coverage.
Aerial Lidar Survev:
In conjunction with the digital aerial photo flyover (i.e., February 1 - March 15 time frame)
Kucera will perform an aerial lidar survey of the County to acquire digital terrain surface data
supporting the digital orthophoto image rectification and creation of a digital terrain model
(DTM) supporting 2' contour generation. The lidar flying height used will be approximately
5500' and the raw lidar point spacing will be approximately 8'. The lidar survey data will be
processed/classified to yield a "bare earth" digital elevation model and other surfaces such as
building roofs which will be available together with the raw lidar point data as a deliverable to
the City or County.
Aerotrianl!ulation:
Kucera will use a softcopy aerotriangulation process to combine the airborne GPS/IMU and
ground-based control and check and finalize the georeferencing of the aerial imagery. All
triangulation will be performed directly in the target project datums, i.e., NAD83 GA state plane
horizontal and NA VD88 vertical. The triangulation will be held to a horizontal and vertical

EXHIBIT B - PROJECT WORK PLAN
accuracy of approximately 0.8' (1:6000 flying height) for individual point RMS and 0.47'
(1: 10000 flying height) for overall RMS. The triangulation will support production of
orthophoto imagery and mapping meeting the project accuracy standards. A triangulation report
will be furnished as a project deliverable. The triangulation phase will be performed in the July-
August 2007 time frame.
Stereo compilation:
In the stereocompilation phase of the project Kucera will perform the following on softcopy
stereoplotters using the triangulated digital aerial imagery:
. Check the lidar bare earth DEM and augment with stereocompiled breaklines as
needed to produce a digital terrain model (DTM) supporting 2' contour generation.
. Update the City's/County's existing building footprint mapping.
.
Perform new compilation of building roof heights, towers,
surfaces/pavement edges, and optional hydrography.
. .
ImperviOUS
The DTM data will be subject to quality control review checks and will be provided as a
deliverable to the City/County in generic or GIS platform-specific ASCII format.
The building footprint update will include addition of new buildings, deletion of razed buildings,
and revision of footprints for buildings/structures having substantial modifications, such as
additions. The update will include correction of minor errors in existing mapping as needed but
will not include correction of major errors/anomalies unless mutually agreed upon with the
City/County.
The new building height, tower, and impervious surface mapping will be performed using
collection criteria developed with input/directives and layering preferences provided by the
City/County. Impervious surface capture will include paved lots/pads greater than 400 sq. ft. in
size and paved drives longer than 100' in length.
Dieital Orthophotoeraphv:
The project digital orthophotography will be produced by rectifying the triangulated aerial
imagery to the new lidar DEM/DTM, conducting a manual quality control check/edit of the
initially rectified imagery for geometric accuracy, performing a batch/automated mosaic and tone
balance on blocks of rectified imagery, extracting seamless, grid-defined tiles from the block
image mosaics, and performing through final manual review of each image tile for proper
geometric accuracy and image quality before delivery. The manual quality control review will
be performed at the target scale (1 "=200') and reasonably enlarged scales, but will not be
performed at highly magnified scales.

The final 1"=200' scale digital orthophotography will be furnished as 8 bit/channel RGB (color)
imagery with a 0.5' pixel resolution and will be delivered in uncompressed georeferenced TIFF
and optional compressed SID format on DVD or USB drive. The ortho image delivery will
include corresponding FGDC metadata for the project. At the City/County's option, a duplicate
color infrared version of the orthophotography will be provided.
The orthophotography will be produced and furnished in the August 2007 - January 20008 time
frame. The initial delivery of imagery in August will be for a pilot area selected by the
City/County and will include samples for selection of preferred color/contrast.
TOPo2raphicIPlanimetric Feature Mappin2:
During the digital orthophoto production phase Kucera will also be generating the countywide 2'
contour topography from the breakline-augmented lidar DTM and will be batch and manually
editing and converting this topography together with the updated and new planimetric feature
mapping to the specified Arc GIS format. The editing process will include data cleanup, review
of layer assignments, addition/placement of annotation and spot elevations, etc. as needed and
generation/review of checkplots of the mapping. The digital mapping will also be reviewed for
consistency with the corresponding new digital orthophotography. The conversion to ArcGIS
will be performed through the DXF exchange format and will include cleaning, polygon and line
topology formation, attribute population as needed, and manual quality control review directly in
ArcGIS. The finalized plan/topo mapping will be furnished in the specified layering and form of
ArcGIS (e.g., geodatabase) and delivered as individual tiles or larger area coverages.
The planimetric/topographic feature mapping will be completed in the August 2007 - May 2008
time frame.
Project Wrap-up:
At the close of the project Kucera will perform an audit/review of the project
transmittals/deliverables to ensure that all specified services were performed and associated data
received and approved by the City/County.
