A. Base Map Rectification
The rectification process shall include, but is not limited to the editing of the vertices of the City's GIS
layers to match visible boundaries within the Digital Orthophoto Photography (DOP) product. The
editing process shall ensure that the GIS layers remain relative to each other as well as to the DOP.
The existing GIS layers that shall be rectified to the DOI include:
Polygon Line Point
Annexations Precincts Fire Hydrants
Aquifer Streams
Traffic Serial Zones Census Tracts
Water Basins Water Lines
Elementary Schools Wastewater Lines
General Plan
Habitat
High Schools
Lakes
Middle Schools
Northeast Road District
1969 Zoning
Parcels
Quadrants
City Limits
Extraterritorial Jurisdiction
Southeast Road District
Subdivisions
Williamson County
Fire Districts
Zoning
It is essential that the rectification of the parcel layer be completed in a timely manner. The Planning &
Community Development Department is responsible for maintaining the City's base map and a delay
increases the risk of routing emergency vehicles to incorrect addresses. Multiple deliveries of this file shall
be in accordance with the mutually agreed upon work plan.
All editing shall be done at the highest possible resolution to ensure the planimetric data and the DOP
match at very low map scales.
Any questions concerning boundary modification shall be directed to the GIS Analyst. The GIS Analyst
may also provide additional resources (such as support data for the layers referenced above) to aid in the
accurate transfer of boundary information.
B. Contour Generation
EXHIBIT "A"
Scope of Work
Working with the City's existing DEM, the vendor will develop two contour coverages: one at the lowest
possible contour interval while maintaining an accuracy level consistent with National Map Accuracy
Standards (estimated at 2 ''A feet), another with a two foot contour interval.
7
To create the contour coverage, a triangular irregular network (TIN) will be developed using both the
collected break Imes and mass points. From this TIN, the contour intervals will be interpolated and
cartographic editing will be performed. During the editing process, special attention should be paid to
make sure the contour lines do not conflict with the planimetric features digitized with the DOP product
(centerlines, buildings and hydrography). All obscured areas will be indicated by a closed polygon. All
generated contours in these areas will appear dashed in a manner that maintains ARC/INFOMticrostation
topologic integrity.
Specific contour features are listed below:
Contours Spot Elevations
Index Spot
Intermediate Water
Index Depression Bridge
Intermediate Depression Dam
Obscured Index
Obscured Intermediate
Obscured Index Depression
Obscured Intermediate Depression
Hidden
Generated contours shall portray the shape of the terrain within specified accuracy standards.
Accuracy standards notwithstanding, contours shall clearly reflect the crown of the cross slope of all
paved areas and shall truly depict all drainage ways.
For both the 2 -foot contours and the other contour layer, every fifth contour shall be shown as an
index contour. All Index contours are to be clearly distinguishable and labeled and/or attributed with
their elevation given in full feet. Labels shall be oriented to follow the contours and shall be readable
the same direction as other text. Care shall be exercised in labeling contours so that the elevation of
any contour is readily discemible, The distance along a contour line between labels generally shall
not exceed eight inches on plots produced at plot scale (1 "= 200').
There shall be a graphical break in the contour just wide enough to permit the placement of the
contour label. This break shall be coded as a hidden contour. Where possible, contour labels shall be
in diagonal stacks one above another along the general line of slope.
Contours shall be continuous throughout the project area. No breaks shall be made in areas where
there is dense tree cover, or where the contours are too close together, or for contour labeling.
In densely wooded areas where the ground is partially obscured by dense brush or tree cover,
contours shall be plotted as accurately as possible. The obscured contours shall be produced so that
the elevations from the contour are accurate within the contour interval in as many situations as
possible.
Elevation values shall be assigned to contour lines as attributes. In addition, contours lines shall be
broken for buildings and other feature symbols. All such breaks shall provide clean junctures
between the contours and the features. Gaps and overruns are unacceptable. Hidden contours shall
be used to allow digital representation of break points between lines.
C. Spot Elevations
Spot elevations data shall be used to supplement elevation data provided by contours, generally where
exact elevations are needed and in areas of relatively flat terrain where the contours are widely spaced
and for special areas required by the City.
Spot elevation shall be shown at the following locations:
8
• At all road/railroad intersections
• On the road centerline at the center of bridges and similar structures.
• On the road centerline over all culverts.
• At the crest of all closed contours.
• M the lowest point of all closed depression contours, significant saddles, cuts, and depressions.
• In areas of dense vegetation where the ground is visible.
• At the center point of all dams
In placing spot elevation, whenever possible they should be placed on a clearly defined photo -
identifiable feature.
The surface elevation of all open water bodies shall be indicated by one or more water elevation
readings near the center of the water body, or the portion of the water body shown on the map. All
spot elevations shall be labeled with decimal values giving their elevation to the nearest one -tenth of a
foot for the required 1" =200' scale mapping. Spot elevation labels and/or attributes shall be placed so
that they do not obscure other map detail, and shall read from west -east.
All revised files shall be registered to the North American Datum 83, Texas Central State Plane, and
units in feet. The Consultant will install the revised files onto a workstation selected by the City
within the GIS lab at the Planning & Community Development Department and at the Public Works
Department. If necessary, the Consultant shall also provide technical assistance and support to
ensure that all GIS layers function correctly within the existing computer architecture.
