HJW AWARDED LIVERMORE VALLEY, CA COLOR ORTHOPHOTO AND CONTOUR MAPPING CONTRACT

Oakland, California, February 28, 2005 – HJW GeoSpatial (HJW), Inc. has recently been awarded a contract to provide contour mapping and color orthophotography of the Livermore Valley to a consortium of government agencies. The cities of Livermore, Dublin and Pleasanton entered into a consortium agreement to update orthophotography and topographic mapping of the region in order to better support their municipal services.

HJW will acquire color photography at a scale of 1:7200 (1”= 600’) for the production of 1”= 100 scale orthophotos in the valley. Photography at a scale of 1”= 24,000 will be used to generate 1”= 200’ scale orthophotos for the outlying hilly areas. The photography will be used to support compilation of 2’ and 10’ contours and update of the digital terrain model used for orthophoto production. Orthophotos at each respective mapping scale will have a pixel size of 0.5’ and 1’.

Prior to this project, in 2003, HJW had provided orthophotos and contour mapping with similar specifications for the City of Livermore. Also in 2003, HJW provided 1”= 20’ scale mapping of downtown Livermore for the City’s Engineering Division.
