Summary: Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data is granular imagery of the natural and built environment in three-dimensions. The LiDAR data combined with the county’s geographic information systems (GIS) enterprise software gives the County the ability to conduct a variety of spatial analysis tasks.
Analysis like property assessment, flood management, facilities maintenance, and urban planning would all be better served with highly accurate LiDAR data for modeling or monitoring purposes. Being able to see the county’s built and natural environment in 3D allows for better long-term planning and gives the user the ability to interact with a “virtual” Cook County. The data services provided through this agreement will support the Cook County Assessor, Board of Review, public safety and environmental agencies and departments, as well as the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, Cook County employees, municipal partners and the general public.
This contract is awarded through Request for Proposals (RFP) procedures in accordance with Cook County Procurement Code. Merrick & Company was selected based on established evaluation criteria.
