AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY AND BASE MAPS NECESSARY <br /> TO IMPLEMENT LAND TITLE RECORD PROJECT <br /> , <br /> After surveying mapping available of Orange County representatives of <br /> the State Department of Natural and Economic Resources feel, between the <br /> maps Orange County currently has and those available from the University, <br /> maps adequate to support the Land Title Records Project exist county wide <br /> except in the immediate Hillsborough area. To correct this shortcoming, <br /> we must obtain aerial photography of the Hillsborough area and have <br /> 15 new base maps at a scale of 1" = 100' prepared. This expense would <br /> not be chargeable to the grant. <br /> Bids for this work have been received and the staff recommends the Board <br /> accept one of the bids of Landmark Engineering Company: <br /> A. County-Wide Photography and 15 Maps of Hillsborough <br /> Area . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $12,300 <br /> B. Photography of the Hillsborough area and 15 Maps of <br /> Hillsborough . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $10,985 <br /> The staff prefers bid A, as the cost differential between A & B is only <br /> $1,315. The county-wide photography is worth more than this sum to the <br /> county. <br /> The staff recommends acceptance of Landmark Engineering's bid <br /> even though it is not low because: <br /> A. The low proposal was received by telephone and does not <br /> seem a valid bid. <br /> B. The only proposer willing to commit itself to immediate <br /> performance is Landmark Engineering. <br /> C, This photography must be done before buds and leaves emerge on <br /> vegetation in order that the actual ground is visible on the <br /> photographs. <br />
