About this file

This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the City of Waco for aerial videography survey services focused on documenting hydrological flows and water quality concerns in the North Bosque River watershed. The RFQ seeks experienced professional firms to conduct an initial survey flight and at least four quarterly aerial flights across Erath, Hamilton, and McLennan Counties, with the potential for on-demand flights during storm events. Each flight must provide high-resolution aerial video and imagery with specific technical requirements, including giro-stabilized video capture, a minimum resolution of 6 inches per pixel, and acceptable file formats like .jpg, .jp2, and MP4. The vendor must be prepared to accommodate up to three City employees during flights, with all data to be delivered within 21 calendar days via USB drive or approved online service.

The RFQ emphasizes that pricing information will be negotiated after vendor selection, and respondents are instructed not to include pricing in their initial Statement of Qualifications. Vendors must detail their equipment specifications, including airframe types (drone, helicopter, fixed-wing), sensor types, and stabilization technologies, and provide a "menu" of available airframe and sensor combinations. The City reserves the right to choose multiple methodologies or vendors to achieve desired outcomes. Critically, the City of Waco will retain exclusive ownership and use rights of all collected imagery and data. Respondents are also advised to consider potential line-of-sight access challenges for drone operations and propose alternative approaches if necessary.
