Intro
RESOLUTION NO. 21856, February 3, 2025
INTRODUCED BY Sean E. Smith, County Legislator
Body
WHEREAS, various County departments have a need for mapping services that are cloud-based and that provide high-resolution panoramas and oblique 3-D imagery; and,
WHEREAS, oblique photography is a multi-camera aerial photography system that allows for the creation of 3-D images to enhance the perspective of structures to provide greater functionality for geographic purposes; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to section 1030.1 of the Jackson County Code, the Director of Information Technology/GIS and the Director of Finance and Purchasing recommend the award of a five-year contract for the furnishing of ortho and oblique aerial imagery for use by various County departments to Nearmap, U.S., Inc., of Lehi, UT, as a sole source purchase; and,
WHEREAS, due to the unique capabilities of Nearmap U.S., Inc., the Director of Finance and Purchasing has determined that Nearmap U.S., Inc., is the sole source for the needed services and products; and,
WHEREAS, in order to secure optimum pricing, the Director further recommends a five-year contract, to lock in pricing and to provide savings to the County of approximately $100,000.00 over the life of the contract; and,
WHEREAS, funding for future years is subject to annual appropriation, allowing the County the flexibility to end the contract early if an alternative source for these services becomes available; now therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the County Legislature of Jackson County, Missouri, that award be made as recommended by the Director of Finance and Purchasing, and that the Director be, and hereby is, authorized to execute for the County any documents necessary for the accomplishment of the award; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Director of Finance and Purchasing is authorized to make all payments, including final payment on the contract, to the extent that sufficient appropriations to the using spending agency are contained in the then current Jackson County budget.
Enacted and Approved
