methodology that will ensure the City of Gilroy’s Community Development Division (hereinafter
“CDD”) receives project data deliverables that meet its stated requirements. Under this best
practice-based approach to the overall project, BMI Imaging will:
• Maintain the integrity and security of the microform collection while it is under its custody, care
and control;
• Implement a tuned, accurate scanning process that best accommodates the format and
quality/characteristics of the various microforms (both microform and aperture cards);
• Capture any pertinent metadata presented on the microform title bars and aperture card headers
for use during the PDF file foldering/naming process;
• Ensure CDD receives project data deliverables of acceptable quality/completeness in accordance
with mutually agreed upon delivery schedules.
The high-level microform processing tasks are as follows:
1) Pre-production Activities
2) Microform Pick-up
3) Shipment Receipt/Reconciliation
4) Microform Scanning and Image Quality Control
5) Microform Image Indexing
6) Data Formatting
7) Data Delivery via SFTP
8) Microform Return/Delivery
Each of the processing tasks is described briefly below:
1) Pre-Production Activities
During this initial phase of the project, the criteria for the subsequent production effort will be
established and agreed upon, and procedures will be implemented to ensure compliance with
CDD's processing and data delivery requirements. The Consultant will work closely with CDD's
designated project manager to complete the following pre-production activities:

LAC\04706083
a) Examine representative sample microform to determine the configuration settings and
process workflow components that will be used during the conversion process;
b) Define the microform collection pick-up/delivery schedule and chain-of-custody
shipping documentation requirements. The Consultant will work with CDD to implement a
schedule that will allow each submission to be accurately and efficiently processed within a
reasonable, mutually agreed upon turn-around time;
c) Complete a Proof of Concept processing phase, during which a small portion of the
overall microform and aperture card collections will be fully processed for CDD’s review/approval
prior to moving to full production status on the project.
2) Microform Pick-up
The Consultant provides a high level of care for client records and takes responsibility for
maintaining the condition of the materials while they are under its custody, care and control. The
Consultant will utilize its own vehicles and staff to transport the microform collection from its
offices located at 7351 Rosanna Street in Gilroy directly to its secure Sunnyvale processing
facility. Appropriate chain-of-custody shipping documentation will accompany all pick-ups.
3) Shipment Receipt/Reconciliation, Tracking and Storage
Upon arriving at the Consultant's production facility, the received boxes will be reconciled with
the shipping documentation and logged into Unity, a Consultant-developed production processing,
control and reporting platform that uses barcode technology closely track each box/unit through
the required production process flows.
While on-premises within the Consultant's secure facility, the microform will be stored within their
secured, temperature-controlled vault while not in process.
4) Microform Scanning and Image Quality Control
The Consultant will utilize Mekel scanners and Mekel's Quantum scanning software for the
simultaneous 300 DPI bitonal (black and white) and grayscale scanning of the microform-based
records. The Quantum software controls the operation of the scanner and provides extensive image
enhancement and verification capabilities to support the production and quality review/control
processes.
During the post-scan image quality review process, inspections will be performed to verify
successful image capture. The Consultant's image inspection procedure is based on “ANSI/ASQC
Z1.4-2008 Sampling Procedures and Tables for Inspection by Attributes”, using a 0.10% AQL
using MIL STD 105E switching rules. This procedure dictates that the Consultant inspect a certain
number of images from each microform and, if the quality/completeness of an image is deemed to
be unacceptable, the inspection level is escalated to review a larger sample which, ultimately, may
result in the microform or aperture cards being re-scanned using alternate settings.
5) Microform Image Indexing

-3- 4835-2267-0361v1
LAC\04706083
The images generated by the scanning process will be indexed as per the following specifications
for each of the microform types:
• Jacket Microform (Building):* By the street address and permit number (if applicable)
information indicated on each microform title bar (or “header”). Images generated from microform
that have same (exact) information will be grouped in preparation for the PDF creation process.
• Aperture Cards (Building): By the information typed on each card’s header (format TBD).
• Jacket Microform (Planning): By record type presented on the tabbed microform separator
cards and the subject matter information presented on each microform title bar (or “header”).
Images generated from microform that have same (exact) subject matter information will be
grouped in preparation for the PDF creation process.
• COM Microform: By record type presented on the tabbed microform separator cards and
the subject matter information presented on each microform title bar (or “header”). Images
generated from microform that have same (exact) subject matter information will be grouped in
preparation for the PDF creation process.
* To facilitate an accurate/consistent indexing process, CDD will furnish a comprehensive, Excel
spreadsheet-based street address listing that provides columns for street number, name, suffix, unit
number etc. for all City of Gilroy addresses.
6) Data Formatting
The image files (bitonal or grayscale to be determined based upon an initial sampling effort) and
their associated index information (metadata) data will be formatted for import into the City's
Laserfiche system using the software’s “List File” import specification. During the import process,
the documents will be associated with City-designated index templates (if applicable) and
foldered/named as per a yet-to-be-determined convention.
7) Data Delivery via SFTP
The PDF file collection will be delivered via a download from the Consultant's Secure FTP server
environment by a CDD-designated staff member. The Consultant's SFTP data delivery-related
policies/procedures are described below:
• The Consultant will notify CDD's project manager via email as d ata deliverables are
posted;
• All data deliveries posted to the Consultant's SFTP server environment will be permanently
deleted no sooner than 90 days from the date they were posted;
• The Consultant is not responsible for a) verifying that the notification emails were received
by CDD or 2) notifying CDD prior to completing the data deletion process;
• The Consultant will be virtually available (via Zoom or Microsoft Teams) to assist CDD's
project manager with the upload of files to the City's Laserfiche system, if needed.

LAC\04706083
•Requests for deleted data deliverables to be re-posted to the SFTP site may be billed at the
Consultant's then-current professional services rate provided the data is still available.
8) Microform Return/Delivery
The processed microform collections will be returned to CDD’s office located at 7351 Rosanna
Street in Gilroy via the Consultant's delivery vehicles and personnel. Appropriate shipping
documentation will accompany all deliveries. The Consultant will work with City staff to establish
a delivery schedule that minimizes any impact on normal business activities.
Assignment/Subcontractor: The Consultant is approved to use iBridge LLC, a long-time/trusted
BMI data entry vendor in Beaverton, Oregon, to facilitate the capture of the microform title bar-
based information via a key data entry process. iBridge will not have access to any of the document
images within the microform.
