The satellite imagery must be processed to meet the needs of the Province, as defined by this RFP and the solution must meet the following project objectives:

1. To obtain updated imagery for the entire province in the most cost-effective and operationally useful manner;

2. To obtain imagery at a sufficient spatial resolution to fulfill the requirements of the business processes ongoing within the Ministry and the Government of Alberta;

3. To obtain imagery that is acceptable to the Ministry and the Government of Alberta in terms of spatial referencing, radiometric properties, accuracy, and data deliverables;

4. To obtain imagery which has undergone an acceptable and standard set of pre-processing in order to ensure data quality (spatial and spectral); and,

5. To obtain imagery of sufficient currency to satisfy the business requirements of the Ministry and the Government of Alberta.

As noted above, AEP and/or the GoA may wish to exercise additional options related to obtaining satellite imagery on a more frequent basis for monitoring purposes. If additional purchases are made to assist with monitoring, the same general set of objectives would apply.
