*Note – Actual 1ft Tile names to be determined

*Final tiling scheme may differ as actual deliverables are received

The regional ortho-imagery project is the product of a joint effort of the CCJDC and the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG). The following is an outline of the project:

1. The Regional Ortho-imagery Acquisition Partnership
   
   
   a. CCJDC initiated the project to acquire seamless imagery of the region in a cost-effective manner for each participant. The latter was achieved by charging each participant a proportional share of the project cost.
   b. AMBAG sponsored and managed the project.
   c. Project Goals:
   • Obtain current, high-quality, affordable ortho-imagery for the entire region
   • Build an improved map base for the region. There was no common coverage or continuous   mapping effort for the region.
   • Fill gaps in coverage
   • Create a common baseline for future updated imagery
   d. 25 Participants were involved in the project.
   e. Project cost $800,000.
   f. Project flight dates were in June and October 2003.
   g. Data is public record subject to the California Public Records Act.
   
   
2. Results and Lessons Learned
   
   
   a. Results
   • Participants saved 35-45% of the costs they would have borne had they acquired the imagery on their own. The potential would have been greater if we had more participants.
   • A superior product was achieved because of QA/QC process using a subcommittee of project participants.
   • Partnerships are being created with those who were unable to participate this time around through in kind support.
   
   b. Lessons learned
   • CCJDC has provided a collegial atmosphere that has contributed directly to the success of this project.
   • AMBAG was seen as an honest broker by project participants.
   • Varying levels of technical knowledge addressed by technical workshops conducted by the CCJDC.
   • Project management requirements:
     
     1. Working with vendor
     
     a. Clear, precise language spelling out project deliveries, timelines, form of deliveries.
     b. Importance of tight contract language to control adherence to deadlines.
     2. Dynamic QA/QC process through CCJDC Aerial Imagery Subcommittee.
   
   
3. Project Deliverables (State Plane, Zone 3 & 4, NAD83, Feet)
   
   a. Imagery Data
   b. Contour Data
   c. MrSID Data
   d. Other
