Regional Digital Orthoimagery Acquisition and Impervious Surface Change Mapping

The City of Waco, in conjunction with McLennan County Emergency Assistance District (MCEAD 9-1-1) and McLennan County, is requesting sealed proposals for regional digital orthoimagery acquisition and impervious surface change mapping under RFP 2026-050, with proposals due September 25, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. at the City of Waco Operations Center.

The scope requires high-resolution, 4-band digital orthoimagery and seamless countywide mosaics captured during the early 2027 winter leaf-off window. The awardee must deliver orthorectified imagery products, seamless mosaics, metadata documentation, and impervious surface change detection analysis for the Waco City Limits area of interest plus a half-mile buffer. Vendors must demonstrate qualifications in large-scale orthoimagery production, georeferencing accuracy, and impervious surface classification methodologies. The proposal package establishes technical specifications, evaluation criteria, and contractual terms; the RFP 2026-050 Proposal Package (6 MB, posted August 26) contains the full requirements.

Pricing should reflect costs for aerial data collection, processing, quality assurance, and final product delivery to the three participating entities — the City of Waco, McLennan County, and MCEAD 9-1-1. No estimated contract value, contract term, incumbent, or set-aside program is stated in the source.
