The primary objective is to update the Roadway Information Management System (RIMS) through systematic data collection using imagery, video logs, and field surveys, with a requirement to collect a minimum of 1,000 centerline miles monthly.

National Data & Surveying Services, Inc. was awarded the competitive selection contract (DOT52824-1) with a contract period from March 19, 2024, to March 31, 2027. The contract was competitively bid with a total proposed value of $425,220, representing a fixed rate of $11.19 per centerline mile. After a comprehensive evaluation process involving multiple vendors, National Data & Surveying Services was selected based on their technical score of 352 points and cost-effective pricing. The IDV covers the entire state of Ohio and is designed to ensure continuous updates to the state's comprehensive roadway spatial data infrastructure through a structured, three-year data collection and verification approach.
