11. OIR – GIS Services 11 Tennessee Base Mapping Program What is the plan about? The business case for State-level coordination for the statewide capture of high-resolution elevation data ₋ Minimize future losses from damages due to low-resolution data for high-risk decisions ₋ Achieve effective economies of scale and avoid inefficient duplication of effort across many separate projects Plan Highlights Tennessee Enhanced Elevation Business Plan Plan Highlights

12. OIR – GIS Services 12 Tennessee Base Mapping Program Why is this important? The existing low-resolution data for most of the state is out-of-date and not suitable for applying to billions of dollars worth of decisions The various agency project efforts have no statewide enterprise context Better terrain data will help protect Tennesseans and their future investments in property and land development Keeping pace with current technology Plan Highlights (Continued) Tennessee Enhanced Elevation Business Plan Plan Highlights (Continued)

13. OIR – GIS Services 13 Tennessee Base Mapping Program How much is it going to cost? Enhanced Elevation Data Standard Products: $10.4 million (maximum…other states showing reduced costs) Optional Derived Products: $4.5 million Optional “upgrade” products for stringent needs Plan Highlights (Continued) Tennessee Enhanced Elevation Business Plan Plan Highlights (Continued)
