Document_Type_DCP_Z&DR_for_scanning.docx

The document is a detailed scanning and digitization request for the City of Pittsburgh's Department of City Planning (DCP) Zoning and Development Records (Z&DR), involving multiple document scanning and indexing tasks across various file types and sizes. The project encompasses scanning and indexing multiple document collections, including: approximately 7 boxes of oversized documents (240 documents per box, estimated 6,000 pages), 1 box of bound books (up to 70 books with 25-250 pages each, estimated 13,000 pages), approximately 85 four-inch binders containing ZBA decisions (72,500 single-facing pages), and approximately 169 bound books (estimated 48,000 pages). Documents range in size from standard 8.5" x 11" to oversized formats up to 36" x 48", with some historical documents potentially exceeding standard dimensions.

The scanning project requires comprehensive digital conversion of physical documents, transforming paper-based records into searchable digital formats across multiple document types including standard paper documents, oversized drawings, bound books, binders, and historical records. While specific pricing and funding details are not explicitly outlined in the document, the scope suggests a significant digitization effort focused on preserving and improving access to zoning, development, and ZBA (Zoning Board of Adjustment) historical records for the City of Pittsburgh. The project appears designed to modernize document management by creating digital, indexed versions of physical documents that span various sizes, formats, and historical periods.
