Current Status of VBMP 2013-2016 www.vita.virginia.gov 2
VBMP Program 2013-2016 • Commonwealth contracted with the Sanborn Map Company to provide full color, leaf-off, digital orthophotography for the entire land base of Virginia. • Eastern portion of the State was acquired in Spring 2013. • Western portion of the State will again be acquired in Spring 2015.
“Off-Year” Flights • Orthoimagery/upgrades outside of the base program years (2013 for eastern half, 2015 for western half) can be acquired • Minimum area/order size must be greater than $25K in value • 1ft ortho price = $20.59 per 1’ tile in off-year.
2013 Acquisition 2013 2015
Acquisition • Flights began on 2/21. • Final flight was performed 4/14. • In between, weather and flying conditions were as bad as we’ve seen • Multiple snow events, last one in April • Very few clear days – multiple re-flights needed for clouds/shadows • All 6-in and 3-in blocks were completed. • 98% of the 1-ft blocks were acquired • Portions of Fredericksburg, Fauquier, Prince William, and Stafford were not able to be acquired before the leaf-on conditions stopped flights • Sanborn and VGIN will be coordinating to re-fly these areas in spring 2014.
Status Summary Statistics • 23,164 of 32,354 tiles have been delivered from Sanborn to Dewberry (72% of total program) • 12,556 of 32,354 tiles have completed QC (39% of total) • 8,731 of 32,354 tile are fully accepted (27% of total)
