obtaining the QLI data from the LIDAR imaging; and,
Whereas, the City will benefit from acquisition of the QLI and QL2 data for
future flood control modeling, building footprint documentation, grading plans and other
urban planning projects.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mayor and City Council of
the City of North Augusta, South Carolina,have determined the following:
1. That it is in the best interest of the City to enter into a Joint Funding Agreement to acquire
and process QLI and QL2 LIDAR data.

BASICS OF LIDAR
What is LiDAR? * r,
• Light Detection and Ranging is a remote v .
sensing method that uses light in form of aQ'gw
pulsed laser to measure ranges (variable ..
distances) to the Earth. The light pulses—
combined with other data recorded by the
plane generate precise, three-dimensional
information about the shape of the Earth MAR Point cloud of US Capital Building
and its surface characteristics.
.i,
PROJECT COST AND DELIVERABLES
City's portion for the LiDAR Project is $10,000.00 at QLl (B points per meter square)
• Note: if the city contracted for LIDAR individually at QL7 the cost would be over$20,000.00
• Deliverables include:
• Classified Point Cloud (for each level of points features are identified such as
bare earth, vegetation, buildings, etc...)
• Intensity Images
• Tile-Based Bare Earth
• Surface Raster (DEM—Digital Elevation Model)
• Survey Control Report
• Survey Checkpoints
• QA/QC Assessment
• Project Report
• Metadata
• Tile Indexes
• Breaklines
