Summary

Council authorized a three‑year contract with Civil Inc. for LIDAR/360 imagery data collection and pavement condition ratings (citywide drive estimated under three days, processing ~3 weeks) and approved ordinance 18‑2026 to appropriate $18,200 for the infrastructure management system.

Barnes described Civil Inc.'s platform and equipment—a roof‑mounted LIDAR and 360‑degree imaging system that drives city streets, processes data with AI, and returns GIS asset inventories and pavement condition ratings.

"It takes us probably less than 3 days to drive around the city, and then we ship the equipment back... and then they process everything in probably 3 ish weeks or so," Barnes said, describing the timeline. Council approved ordinance 18‑2026 as an emergency measure to enter into agreement with Civil Inc. and appropriate $18,200 for the software/system. Barnes said the service will produce a granular baseline for assets (signs, curb ramps, sidewalks, pavement markings, street trees, street lights) and automated pavement ratings to inform a 5‑ to 10‑year resurfacing plan.
