Mou/Moa - 2003 - Joint Funding Of Updated Set Of Orthophotos - 8/4/2003
MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
No. 2003-21
For the purpose of jointly funding an updated set of orthophotos in areas of Ada County
(UPWP Task 760.01)
Project Purpose
The purpose ofthe project is to acquire 2003 six-inch resolution natural color digital orthophotos over
the Boise metropolitan area, and I-foot resolution natural-color digital imagery over the remainder of
the Boise Urban Area of interest as identified by the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA)
to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for Homeland Security activities.
WHEREAS, the parties to this agreement, indicated below, hereafter referred to as "the Parties" and
the Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho, hereafter referred to as "CaMP ASS", desire
to cooperate in funding an update to the 2000 orthophotos; and
WHEREAS, the United States Geological Survey, hereafter referred to as "USGS," is responding to a
Department of Defense (DaD) request for high-resolution image and geospatial data in support of
Homeland Security. The National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) has identified Boise as an
area for which imagery is required. NIMA data requirements call for I-foot or better resolution natural-
color, leaf-off, orthorectified digital imagery. To address this need, USGS has offered funding in the
amount of $45,000 for the purpose of creating a set of updated orthophotos; and
WHEREAS, the Parties have determined that a comprehensive set of orthophotos is of mutual benefit
to their respective programs; and
WHEREAS, the Community Planning Association coordinated the 2000 orthophotos on behalf of its
Ada County members and has found a comprehensive set of orthophotos to benefit to its work in
transportation, water, floodplain and other planning;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the Parties agree to the following:
1. COMPASS agrees to obtain the deliverables from 3Di Technologies, Inc. The deliverables include:
a. Spring 2003 orthophotos of Ada County taken prior to leaf-out of trees for the Area covered
in Exhibit A. Only digital imagery will be provided as part of this agreement.
b. Said photos to be compatible with the orthophotos taken during Spring 2000 and meeting
the technical specifications listed in Exhibit B.
2. COMPASS will be the fiscal manager of this project and oversee quality control in concert with the
Parties.
3. COMPASS must meet applicable federal procurement requirements and its own procurement
process.
4. All newly generated products of the COMPASS aerial photo acquisition project will be in the
public domain. CaMP ASS will make available all products for USGS and EROS archives.

6. COMPASS will invoice the Parties for the project's direct costs, based on their proportionate share
using the above contribution schedule, with the understanding this is a cost reimbursable process.
7 . COMPASS will distribute the imagery to the Parties in one of the following methods:
a. For Parties requesting 25 or fewer sections, distribution will be on CD-ROM.
b. For Parties requesting more than 25 sections, each Party may furnish COMPASS an
external hard disk drive of sufficient capacity to store the requested files, or CaMP ASS
will maintain the imagery on an external hard disk drive and loan out this drive so that a
Party may download desired files from it.
8. This agreement and related funds may carry over into FY2004 (starting October 1,2003).
Participants may pay their proportionate costs out of FY2004 funds with the understanding that
invoices will be issued in October and are due within 30 days of issuance.
