Countywide Oblique Digital Aerial Imagery

Kenosha County Land Information Division, through the Kenosha County Purchasing Division, is requesting proposals from qualified aerial imagery acquisition firms for a one-time countywide oblique digital aerial imagery acquisition project, with sealed proposals due August 20, 2026 at 1:00 PM.

The scope covers acquisition of color, high-resolution oblique imagery for the entirety of Kenosha County plus a minimum 300-foot buffer outside the county boundary. Acquisition must occur under leaf-off conditions (less than 30% leaf on) during minimal shadow conditions with sun angles greater than 30 degrees, completed in Fall 2026 or Spring 2027. Imagery must have a nominal ground sample distance of 3 inches or better, delivered in Wisconsin State Plane South Coordinate System, NAD83(2011). The contractor must provide a secure, web-based imagery viewer with distance and height measurement tools, annotation capabilities, historical imagery toggling, GIS layer overlaying, and export functionality.

Proposers must have completed a minimum of three similar projects within the past five years and provide three current reference accounts with detailed contact information. The evaluation committee will score proposals equally across four 25-point criteria: Cost to the County, Company Profile, Viewing Software, and Proposal Solutions, using a lowest-cost-constant formula for cost scoring. Top-scoring proposers may be required to participate in interviews and presentations, and the County may request Best and Final Offers.

The contract shall begin in late 2026 or early 2027 and continue for two years, with an option to renew the viewer and/or viewing license for two additional years. Contractors must maintain minimum insurance coverage including Commercial General Liability, Professional Liability, Cyber Liability, and Automobile Liability of $1,000,000 each, with Kenosha County named as additional insured.

Questions are due in writing to Matthew Fleming, Purchasing Director, by 5:00 PM on July 30, 2026. Vendor presentations are scheduled for September 22, 2026, with contract award estimated for October 16, 2026. All vendors must register with the State of Wisconsin's eSupplier portal to receive addenda notifications.
