County’s 3‑D mapping contract continues; staff touts historical survey inventory
Summary
The Highway Department is under a multi‑year MAPS contract (roughly $60,000 per year) to produce high‑resolution 3‑D roadway mapping the county plans to share with other departments for planning and recordkeeping.
Zach described a three‑year professional services contract to build a survey‑grade, three‑dimensional inventory of the county’s highway network that can serve multiple departments. “We were on a very early pilot program for MAPS there,” he said, adding the program provides high‑resolution, historic 3‑D records that the county can use like a local version of Google Street View.
When commissioners asked about cost, Zach said the contract is “on the order of around $60,000 annually” for the service on the current schedule. He argued the historical data will reduce field visits and provide efficiency for engineering, assessing and emergency response. Commissioners asked for user‑interface and access details before any renewed contract commitment to ensure the purchase yields cross‑departmental value.
