RR-16-9196 Aerial Mapping Services Amendment

This state and local contracting opportunity is for an amendment to extend a contract for aerial mapping services on an upon-request task order basis for the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (Tollway). The original three-year contract was awarded to Quantum Spatial Inc. (now NV5 Geospatial, Inc.) in February 2018 for $1,500,000 and was set to expire on February 28, 2023. This one-year extension to February 28, 2024 will allow NV5 Geospatial to continue providing high-resolution Digital Elevation Models and 2-ft contours for as-built surveys on the I-90 and Elgin-O'Hare corridors, as well as design-level LiDAR survey information for design projects. The Tollway requires this data, which is dependent on weather and seasonal conditions, to support ongoing and future design work, particularly on the I-490 Elgin-O'Hare corridor project. NV5 Geospatial has the personnel and experience to quickly collect the necessary data within the restricted airspace around O'Hare airport.

This amendment does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. NV5 Geospatial is the incumbent vendor, and the contract value will remain at $1,500,000. The Tollway is seeking to extend the existing contract to ensure continued support for its design projects within the required timeframes and environmental conditions.
