Matrix Imaging works closely with our clients to ensure that their needs are being met. The digital capture process covers a series of operations that both precede and follow the actual scanning of the documents. These processes include document preparation, scanning, indexing, quality control operations, storage and uploading to the host system. Matrix Imaging has been able to successfully complete similar projects with the highest level of satisfaction. This objective is achieved by stressing project planning and communication for each task and using professional, trained imaging specialists. Matrix Imaging will submit for your review and approval a production schedule with benchmarks and quarterly status reports. The following is an overview of the proposed scanning process. Document Management We consider documents to be extremely valuable and they must be handled with the utmost care and security. A written document management procedure will allow scanning efficiency and facilitate tracking document movements. Matrix Imaging has implemented procedures for many other projects scanning highly confidential and valuable documents. Matrix Imaging will provide a bi- weekly status report of project including the images converted, deliverable timelines and cost tracking. Logging and Preparation ofDocuments When the documents are received at Matrix Imaging they will be entered into a log -file to record receipt and pertinent information for the rest of the processes. An essential part of this step, is the inspection, grading and evaluation of document quality, and the need for post scanning processing operations such as despeckle, deskew or other image enhancement processes. Documents with defects such as holes through text or of poor quality due to visual defects, etc. are stamped "Poor Quality Original ". Scanning All documents will be scanned in the same order they exist. The documents will be scanned with an appropriate scanning threshold set for each document at 300 dpi CCITT Group 4 Single Page TIFF or JPEG. Each group will be pre - scanned to determine the best threshold setting. Images will be batch cropped to remove excess black borders. Landscape pages will be rotated to proper orientation. Indexing Matrix Imaging works with many clients requiring a variety of formatting. Matrix Imaging has a "Match and Merge" process in order to verify and extract data from external databases or data files.. Indexing source may include scan sheets, file folders and image verification. -10- Final Scanned File Review During the final stages of the post processing, the images and indexes are inspected for overall quality. Once the documents have been scanned, they may be processed to improve the image quality and improve results. Post processing includes: Despeckling To remove insignificant specks on the document. This will also reduce the file size. Deskewing To align the image horizontally in the file. Every image will be manually examined for cut -offs or compression errors. If necessary, the document will be rescanned or extra processing will be done to improve the quality of the raster image. If Matrix Imaging determines that an original image is of poor quality than a "Poor Quality Original' image will be added. Index values will be verified against images. Any corrections will be recorded and provided in the form of a log. Large format images are manually deskewed and cropped during the examinination process. Deliverables After indexing, scanning, and quality control is completed, index data and related images will be committed to DVD. Requirements for quality control and metadata are explicitly stated in the RFP. Matrix Imaging will confirm that all files for conversion have been received, sequence is correct, metadata is complete and correct (100 %); check image quality on screen. Images will be the same or better quality than the original paper image. At no cost to the city, Matrix Imaging will correct all unacceptable images or add a preceding image stating "Poor Quality Original'. A "Poor Quality Original' image will be added to any image that contains unreadable text or graphics. The above proposal shall remain in effect for ninety (90) days from submittal date.

The price for indexing per field and per document is $0.045. 2. Document Preparation: $18 per hour. 3. Rather than convert the images from the microfiche (Diazo duplicates), which can be of poor quality, we would recommend that we convert the images from the original silver film. We will convert the images for the same price as fisted above in the pricing section and are confident that this will result in much better image quality. 4. At no additional cost, we will scan all the microfiche images in both B &W and grayscale mode. if the B &W image is of good quality the city can upload this image to their document imaging system, however, if the B &W image is of poor quality they will have the option to use the backup grayscale copy as their final copy. The undersigned agrees to keep any and all pricing proposed in this bid document firm for a period of ninety (90) days. In the event your firm is selected as the contractor, an official City contract/agreement will be drafted to protract this pricing for the duration of the contract period.
