Aerial_AOI.sbn

This is a geospatial data file containing aerial area of interest (AOI) boundary information for the City of Midland, Texas Information Technology Services Department - GIS Division in support of an RFP for LiDAR and geospatial data acquisition services. The file defines the acquisition boundary comprising 390 square miles within the City of Midland for which qualified geospatial services firms are to provide LiDAR QL1 topographic capture, impervious surface mapping, and associated data layers. The aerial AOI file serves as the geographic extent and spatial reference for all proposed data collection and processing activities under the contract opportunity.

The file functions as a technical specification document establishing the precise geographic boundaries within which all LiDAR acquisition, data processing, and deliverables must occur. This boundary definition is essential for vendors to accurately scope their proposals, estimate costs, schedule data collection flights, and plan project logistics. The AOI file ensures that all responding firms are working from the same geographic parameters and understand the exact area for which comprehensive topographic and impervious surface data must be delivered.
