FOR OBTAINING ORTHORECTIFIED AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS
This Agreement is entered into effectively February 1, 2006, between the County of Santa
Clara (COUNTY) and the City of Cupertino (CITY), collectively know as the "Parties".
The Purpose of the Agreement is for the COUNTY to provide the CITY with a
refreshed set of Orthorectified Aerial Photographs (orthophotos) for the year 2006,
subject to the terms of this Agreement.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the COUNTY maintains a Basemap using Spring 2001 orthophotos for the purpose
of supporting COUNTY business functions and the Basemap is also used by several regional
entities, as well as the CITY for its business, by means of a Basemap License Agreement; and
WHEREAS the Spring 2001 orthophotos have become outdated as significant development has
occurred in the countywide since the last flight; and
WHERERAS, the COUNTY, several cities and utilities, as well as the CITY seek an
infonnation~building and cost-sharing partnership opportunity to refresh the orthophotos in 2006
by working collaboratively in an orthophoto project; and
WHEREAS, the COUNTY will administer and implement the orthophotos project enabling
economies of scale benefit for all agencies participating in this effort; and
WHEREAS, cities of Palo Alto, Milpitas, Monte Sereno, Los Altos, Cupertino, Sunnyvale,

SECTION 1.
GENERAL
A. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AREA
The project area for the Spring 2006 Orthophoto project administered .and managed by
the COUNTY includes all of Santa Clara County with deftned areas extending outside of
the COUNTY boundary. The project will be flown using two scales of photography. The
low level photography used to depict the valley floor (3" resolution flight plan) is to be
flown at a nominal scale of 1 "= 630'. High level photography used to depict both the
rural and mountainous county (6" resolution flight plan), is to be flown at a nominal scale
of 1 "= 1200'. These flight plan polygons when combined, define the extent of the
countywide project area as described in Attachments lA and lB.
B. DESCRIPTION OF CITY PROJECT AREA
The City of Cupertino project area includes all the geography within the CITY limits, as
well as a 500-foot buffer around the CITY limit perimeter. The area shall be flown at
low level, at a nominal scale of 1"= 630' resulting in 3" resolution orthorectifted imagery.
A map of the CITY'S area of interest is shown in Attachment 2.
The COUNTY shall hire Triathlon Inc, d/b/a IMDA Geospatial Services (MDA), to
perform the following services to cover the CITY project area:
1. Aerial Photography at 1"= 630' for CITY coverage in Attachment 2;
2. Aerial Triangulation including coordination of existing control from 2001
project
3. Orthophoto production to produce 3" pixel resolution ortho imagery
SECTION 2.
SPECIFICATIONS
All work and services undertaken by the COUNTY to produce orthophotos for the CITY
is in accordance with specifications defined in the Orthophoto Contract the COUNTY has
with MDA, and shall be quality-tested by another certified photogrammetric vendor that
the COUNTY shall hire after the orthophoto project is underway.
At a minimum, the CITY shall be provided orthophotos in accordance with the following:
1 d/b/a stands for Mdoing business as.- Triathlon is in the process of completing merger with parent

C. The acceptable window for photo acquisition for this project is between 15
January and 15 March 2006. COUNTY shall ensure that MDA selects the most optimal

D. The COUNTY is responsible for MDA applying for, and obtaining, any required
permit for access, overflight, or intrusion into restriction or otherwise limited ground
access and/or airspace. Every effort shall be made to avoid breaks within individual
flight lines. Where breaks within a flight line are necessary, the entire flight line
composed of the resulting segments shall meet all of the requirements set forth in these
specifications. Where breaks occur, these shall have an overlap of at least two frames to
ensure a stereo model of overlap or tie. All photos within a single flight line shall be
acquired with the same aerial camera and with the camera oriented in the same direction.
E. All photography shall be acquired to provide adequate stereo coverage. Nominal
overlap shall be 60% forward and 300/0 sidelap. The imagery shall not contain any
objectionable shadows caused by terrain relief or low solar altitude.
F. Each photo shall be annotated with the following:
1. Roll number
2. Exposure number
3. Camera counter number
4. Date flown (YYYYMMDD)
5. Lens Number
6. Focal Length
7. Nominal Scale
G. All orthorectified images produced covering the CITY project portion shall be
clear and sharp in detail with no light streaks, static marks, scratches, dust marks, or other
\\CUPERTIN020060RTHO.doc

noticeable blemishes. The imagery shall be free from defects, such as out~of~focus
imagery, and should not contain inconsistencies in tone and/or density between individual
orthos and/or adjacent sheets.
All orthophoto imagery shall conform to horizontal National Map Accuracy Standards
(NMAS) for the scales shown in the Table 1. below and use the indicated pixel sizes:
Area A Area B
Photo Scale I" == 630' I" = 1200'

according to the absolute positioning standards.
The CITY shall upload to the MDA'S website more recent ground control for MDA to
use to process the 3" orthophotos for the CITY region, if these happen to be more recent
