Memo LeveraLyinti Technology Equipment: The plan is to leverage the use, of advanced UAV/Drone Lidar technology to survey "'both the Hiawatha and Drumheller road alignments together and quickly. The purchase of the UAV/Drone Lidar &GPS System (Attachment A) and a powerful processing computer (Attachment B) will provide this technology for future projects and the surrounding Counties will also likely request reimburseable work utilizing on their road design projects too.

Existing staff must stay focused on getting State and Federally funded projects completed first, so that we can bring additional State and Federally funded projects for the following year. In short, we need to rebuild our Capital Road Projects production from the historical low amounts of project work in the last couple of years. UAV/Drone LIDAR / Civil Desimner Skills: UAV/Drone Pilots with LIDAR and Civil Design skills are very. rare and in high demand. Fortunately, I have several of m F Y WAPOLY graduates that have these skills and which I stay in } contact with. A project based 1 -year hire, dedicated t. 6-1,work on the Hiawatha Truck Route project, under the supervision of the County Road Engineer, would provide the production needed for this work (Attachment Q. S This temporary support is greatly needed for,,Public Works t:.o.,,ge:.t. the Hiawatha/Drumheller Truck Route ' Design ,completed this year. In addition, introducing these advanced technology skills ,1 and equipment to our existing staff will help to` boost their productivity too. :r ASPI Contribution (Potential Hiawatha Extended,.Route): ASPI is working on dedicating right of way to provide for a straighter, shorter, and less costly Hiawatha Extended Truck kovte�,.The ASPI right -of -Way dedication work will be conducted concurrently with the County design work-ASPI is requesting the the'=UAV LIDAR and Civil Design work to include the Hiawatha Extended Truck Route ,alternative and road spur to provide for a potential future bridge crossing site }' f. i ASPI proposes to contribute up to S50,000, by agreement, toward the payroll of the 1 -year hire UAV LIDAR / Civil Designer, should at be needed. This would provide for the extra time and cost of the LIDAR flights, LIDAR processing; and Civil Design to keep the alternate truck route alignment in consideration. This will ensure that the Hiawatha Extended Truck Route survey and design work is conducted concurrently with the ASPI rights-of-way work. If ASPI is then successful secureing the rights-of-way needed, a much better Truck Route for the public -benefit shall be created. ASPI understands the risks of this contribution so that this alternate truck route alignment stay in consideration.
