Appendix B – Statement of Work

Color Digital Orthophotography and Feature Extraction for Washington Dulles International Airport, Reagan National Airport and the Dulles Corridor Enterprise

1.0 Introduction and Overview Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) manages Washington Dulles International Airport, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, the Dulles Toll Road and the Dulles Access Road to Route 66. In an effort to maintain the Authority’s GIS system updated Color Digital Orthophotos, contour lines and feature extraction are required. 2.0 Scope of Work - General The purpose of this project is to acquire high quality color digital aerial imagery and aerial lidar data for the purpose of feature extraction, development of DTM (Digital Terrain Modeling) data and 1 foot topography and the capture of design grade planimetric data of the Washington Dulles International Airport, Reagan National Airport and the Dulles Enterprise Corridor for the production of 2 inch pixel color orthophotography. The contractor will collect the imagery utilizing a digital mapping camera equipped with airborne GPS and IMU technology. The contractor will implement a quality control process that identifies and corrects spatial problems, format problems and visual problems before final delivery to the Authority. The location and boundaries of desired flight path is provided in Attachment #1. Upon award the Authority will provide location and boundaries in ESRI Personal Geodatabase format. The Authority will use the data produced under this project in both GIS (ESRI) and CADD (DGN) applications. Not only will this data be used by the Authority, but it will be also provided to Engineering/Surveying consultants for use on future design projects for the Authority. In order to meet the future mapping needs of design projects, the horizontal and vertical accuracy of all primary mapping deliverables developed under this project (Digital Orthoimagery, Planimetric Data, DTM [Digital Terrain Model] and 1-foot topography) shall meet, or exceed, NMAS (National Map Accuracy Standards) for 1”=50’ scale map feature data with 1-foot topography. See Attachment #2 for excerpts of NMAS. In addition to aerial imagery, an aerial lidar survey of each airport will be performed to acquire ground and feature surface data for creation of a digital terrain/ground surface model supporting development of the contour topography and orthophotography. The aerial lidar survey will cover the property boundaries of the airports and beyond these boundaries as needed. The aerial lidar survey will be performed so as to achieve a point return accuracy within 0.5’ and a point return spacing of within 2.2’. 3.0 Project Specific Requirements 3.1 Digital Ortho-photography Methods and Guidelines 3.1.1 Aerial Image Acquisition

Weather and ground conditions permitting, the contractor must acquire color digital aerial imagery in the summer of 2016 with a minimum acceptable sun angle of 25 degrees. All imagery shall be free of clouds and/or cloud shadows. Should weather or snow conditions not permit the taking of imagery prior to December 1 or a sun angle of less than 25 degrees the taking of the imagery may be deferred until the summer of 2016 when the sun angle is above 30 degrees. All digital orthophotography deliverables will be delivered to The Authority with no distribution/sale to any other entity.

3.1.2 Flight Plan

Once the scope has been approved the final flight plan will be given to The Authority and approved before work commences.


Page 8 of 19

3.1.3 Base IAD/DCA ORTHO Acquisition Area

Buffer Areas

3.1.4 Coordinate system

All mapping products will be delivered in Horizontal Datum State Plane Virginia North Zone NAD83; Vertical Datum NAVD88; Units in US Survey Feet. RTK Survey Grade GPS units with GEOID09 will be used to collect any X, Y and Z positions for this project.

3.1.5 Flying Height

The altitude of the flight must be appropriate to produce digital orthophotography at a pixel resolution equal to, or less than, a GSD (ground sample distance) of 3 inches for the given area. Images captured at the time of flight containing pixels larger than a 3” GSD will be cause for rejection and reflights will be required. The imagery shall support the extraction of planimetric and topographic features that adhere to NMAS for 1”=50’ scale feature mapping with 1’ topography. Regardless of aerial camera platform used for this project, flight altitudes above mean terrain exceeding 2400 feet are not permitted due to the accuracy and map detail required for primary map-data deliverables.

3.1.6 Tile Size

Delivered Digital Orthoimagery tiles will be produced at 1500’ x 1500’.


Page 9 of 19

3.1.7 Environmental Conditions Optimal conditions should favor the time of flight for the aerial imagery. Sun angle should be no less than 25 degrees above the horizon. The sky should be clear of low and high clouds, rain, smoke, haze, dust, ash, snow and etc. Rivers and streams shall be at normal heights for correct bank inventory. Correct spectral reflectance from water should be minimized and should not distort or wash out shoreline features.

3.1.8 Side overlap

Side overlap between flight lines must have an average of 40 percent +/- 5%. Imagery less than 30% will be rejected and re-flown at the contractor’s expense.

3.1.9 Tilt

Tilt of the camera from verticality at the instant of exposure shall not exceed 3 degrees. Average tilt over the entire project shall not exceed 1 degree.

3.1.10 Crab

Crab shall not exceed three degrees (3°) in any image frame. Any two or more consecutive image frames displaying crab in excess of five degrees (5°) shall be rejected.

3.1.11 Mosaicing

Within the Airport boundaries best fit mosaicing practices will be used to correct structure lean than might create blind spots that would lead to missing or hidden features in the photos. Although “True-Ortho” orthorectification is not required, the contractor shall use the best available area possible of each raw image frame during mosaicing to minimize the vertical displacement of vertical features in the final ortho tile. Outside of the area boundaries structure lean will be held to the minimum.

3.1.12 Ground Control

The contractor is required to set ground control as targeted or clearly defined photo-identifiable feature points. The ground control points will be submitted to The Authority before flight for random accuracy checks by sub centimeter GPS collection units. The ground control target or photo-id marking must be large enough to be seen in the final aerial product. Photo-identifiable control will be set on points readily visible in the imagery and shall be marked so as to be readily recoverable.

3.1.13 Quality Control

Using aerotriangulation multiple checks must be made to detect data and control errors. 3.1.14 Deliverables

3.1.14.1 Sample (Pilot Area)

Prior to full production, the contractor shall submit digital sample TIF & MrSID orthoimages to The Authority for review and acceptance. The sample area will be a minimum of 20 contiguous image tiles for Dulles (IAD), Dulles Corridor Enterprise (DCE) and 10 for Reagan (DCA). After acceptance all QA/QC guidelines will be followed and The Authority has the right to refuse product if the entire set does not hold to the accepted samples quality.

Contractor shall also submit for review and approval sample files of the same area of IAD as outlined above containing DTM, DEM, breakline data, limited planimetrics and 1’ contours. For DCA, the contractor will furnish similar sample files for a minimum of 5 tiles all falling within the DCA airport boundary.

3.3.1 Topographic Contour Lines

3.3.1.1 Using a TIN (Triangulated Irregular Network) generated from the required DTM data, Topographic Contour Lines will be created at 1 foot intervals. No annotations will be required for the contour lines or spot elevations. In addition to industry standard map content requirements, the following criteria and specific map content requirements will also be fulfilled.

3.3.1.2 Files will be compiled with coordinate values to the nearest one-thousandth (1/1000) of a foot. 3.3.1.3 Contours will reflect the crown or cross slope of all paved areas, including paved ditches, and

will truly depict all drainage ways. 3.3.1.4 In areas of comparatively level terrain where contours are more than 2 inches apart (at final

map scale), the contours will be supplemented by spot elevations spaced 1 – 2 inches apart (at final map scale) in each direction to form a rectangular grid. Where trees or buildings preclude exact adherence to a grid pattern, the pattern may be varied, but the density and spacing of spot elevations will insure that no place on the map is more than 2 inches from either a contour or spot elevation. Spot elevation in wood or obscured area will be shown to the best of contractor’s ability but may not adhere to National Map Standard of accuracy.

3.3.1.5 Where the profile gradient is 2 percent or less, spot elevations will be shown at intervals not

greater than 1 – 2 inches apart at final map scale, along the center of levees, roads, ditches, and railroads. Spot elevations will be shown at all saddles, crests, summits, depressions, and road intersections regardless of gradient where the feature is 0.5 inches or larger in size at final map scale.

3.3.1.6 Spot elevations will be shown at intervals not to exceed 2 inches (at final map scale) along the

boundary of the area to be mapped at locations where the nearest contour is over 1 inch from the boundary.

3.3.1.7 Features that are interpreted from the photography as being under construction will be labeled

as such. 3.3.1.8 Contours will meet or exceed the contracted map accuracy standards requirement except as

follows: In areas where the ground is obscured by dense brush, shadows, or tree cover, contours will be plotted as accurately as possible, while making maximum use of spot elevations obtained from the stereoscopic model in places where the ground is visible.

3.3.1.9 The accuracy tolerance allowed for contours will not affect the requirement that contours reflect

the crown or cross slope of all paved areas. 3.3.2 Contractor will adhere to the following compilation requirements:

3.3.2.1 Edgematching: All digitized tiles must be both visual and coordinateedgematched with adjacent sheets. No edgematch tolerance will be allowed. The coordinate edgematch must be 100 percent precise at double precision values. Attributes for adjoining features must also be identical.

3.3.2.2 Common Boundaries: All graphic features that share a common boundary must have the exact

same digital representation of that boundary in all layers when required by the database design. 3.3.2.3 Point Duplication: No duplication of points that occur within a data string is permitted.


Page 13 of 19

3.3.2.4 Connectivity: Where graphic elements visually meet, they must also digitally meet. All

confluences of line, area and polygon data must be exact mathematically; that is, no “overshoots,” “undershoots,” or “offsets” are permitted. Lines that connect polygons must intersect those polygons precisely; that is, every end point must be an intersection point of the respective polygon.

3.3.2.5 Line Quality: A high quality cartographic appearance will be achieved. Transitions from straight

line to curvilinear line segments will be smooth, and without angular inflections at the point of intersection. The digital representation must not contain extraneous data at a non-visible level. There should be no jags or hooks or zero length segments. Curvilinear graphic features should be smoothed with a minimum number of points. When appropriate, line-smoothing programs should be used to minimize the angular inflection in curvilinear lines. Any lines that are straight, or should be straight, should be digitized using only two points that represent the beginning and ending points of the line.

3.3.2.6 Segmentation: The digital representation of linear elements must reflect the visual network

structure of the data type. An element should not be broken or segmented unless that segmentation reflects a visual or attribute code characteristic, or unless the break is forced by database limitations.

3.3.2.7 Area and Polygon Closure and Centroid: For area features being digitized, the last coordinate

pair must be exactly (mathematically) equal to the first coordinate pair. No line or polygon will cross itself, or any other digitized feature, except to join at an actual confluence. All digitized features that are continuous across map boundaries will be edited to effect smooth, continuous lines.

3.3.2.8 Point Criteria: All point features will be digitized as a single x,y coordinate pair at the visual

center of that graphic feature. 3.3.2.9 Features that cross map sheet or model boundaries will not have duplicate data points at those

boundaries except where those boundaries coincide with delivery areas. Post-processing procedures will be utilized as necessary to minimize data redundancies. No map sheet borders will be provided as continuous polygons for deliveries of a single coverage. One master grid will be created and all grid tics for all sheets will match exactly. Each coverage must be free of node and arc intersect errors. Each polygon coverage must have one unique label per polygon and be free of label errors.

3.3.2.10 All data created in this conversion effort will be spatially continuous. This requirement for

spatial continuity means that the structure of the database will not inhibit the execution of GIS functions across boundaries or artificial discontinuities in the database (sheet edges, model edges, or other delimitations).

3.3.3 Deliverables

Using the same tile grid as the Digital OrthoImagery, Topographic Contour lines will be delivered in 1500’ x 1500’ separate full tiles except where the project boundary forces a partial tile in digital format.

A complete seamless topographic contour line file will be delivered separately in digital format. Seamless, monolithic DTM file containing 3D breaklines and masspoints used for TIN Terrain

Surface generation in digital format. Grid index corresponding to the topographic Contour lines Topographic data will be delivered in Geodatabase and Microstation .DGN formats.

With a view to the utmost economy and expedition in producing maps that fulfill not only the broad needs for standard or principal maps, but also the reasonable particular needs of individual agencies, the Federal Government has defined the following standards of accuracy for published maps: 1. Horizontal accuracy. For maps on publication scales larger than 1:20,000, not more than 10 percent of the points tested shall be in error by more than 1/30 inch, measured on the publication scale; for maps on publication scales of 1:20,000 or smaller, 1/50 inch. These limits of accuracy shall apply to positions of well-defined points only. Well-defined points are those that are easily visible or recoverable on the ground, such as the following: monuments or markers, such as bench marks, property boundary monuments; intersections of roads and railroads; corners of large buildings or structures (or center points of small buildings). In general, what is well-defined will also be determined by what is plottable on the scale of the map with-in 1/100 inch. Thus, while the intersection of two roads or property lines meeting at right angles would come within a sensible interpretation, identification of the intersection of such lines meeting at an acute angle would not be practicable within 1/100 inch. Similarly, features not identifiable upon the ground within close limits are not to be considered as test points within the limits quoted, even though their positions may be scaled closely upon the map. This class would cover timber lines and soil boundaries. 2. Vertical accuracy, as applied to contour maps on all publication scales, shall be such that not more than 10 percent of the elevations tested shall be in error by more than one-half the contour interval. In checking elevations taken from the map, the apparent vertical error may be decreased by assuming a horizontal displacement within the permissible horizontal error for a map of that scale. 3. The accuracy of any map may be tested by comparing the positions of points whose locations or elevations are shown upon it with corresponding positions as determined by surveys of a higher accuracy. Tests shall be made by the producing agency, which shall also determine which of its maps are to be tested, and the extent of such testing. 4. Published maps meeting these accuracy requirements shall note this fact in their legends, as follows: "This map complies with National Map Accuracy Standards."

5. Published maps whose errors exceed those stated shall omit from their legends all mention of standard accuracy. 6. When a published map is a considerable enlargement of a map drawing (manuscript) or of a published map, that fact shall be stated in the legend. For example, "This map is an enlargement of a 1:20,000-scale map drawing," or "This map is an enlargement of a 1:24,000-scale published map." 7. To facilitate ready interchange and use of basic information for map construction among all Federal mapmaking agencies, manuscript maps and published maps, wherever economically feasible and consistent with the use to which the map is to be put, shall conform to latitude and longitude boundaries, being 15 minutes of latitude and longitude, or 7.5 minutes, or 3.75 minutes in size.
