PROPOSAL FOR DIGITAL ARCHIVING
Presented to the Village of Key Biscayne
February, 1996
Scanning and Printing Costs
A true digital archiving system includes provisions for both
input (scanning) and output (printing) . Our prices for the high
volume you require are as follows:
Size
Scan 1st Print Dup.Prints
E (30x42) 4.50
D (24x36) 3.00
C (18x24) 1.50
B (12x18 or 1.00
11x17)
A (8.5x11 or 1.00
8.5x14)
2.97 1.44
1.92 .96
. 99 .48
. 66 .32
. 66 .20
Scanning is based on a charge of .50 per sq.ft. with a 2 sq.ft.
minimum. Reprints are quoted for bond paper copies at .32 per
sq.ft. for a single copy, and .16 per sq.ft. for duplicate
copies. Reprints can also be made on vellum or mylar for 1.00
and 2.25 per sq.ft. respectively. This would allow blueprint
copies to be made from the reprints.
Note that the software also allows printing on your in-house
laser printers and plotters. Reprints can be made any size
regardless of the size of the original. This means you can offer
reduced or full-size copies. Full-size copies are 100% accurate
and to scale.
Modem File Transfers
Transferring files by modem, perhaps overnight, appears to be the
best way to deliver the scanned images. Our modems will handle
rates up to 28,800 baud, giving a transfer time of about 3
minutes per megabyte. The BBS we use for receiving plot files
from our customers can be set up to make the scanned images
available for you to download. At your convenience you would
just have to dial and select the files to be transmitted. In
the event of a bad transmission, you could easily retrieve any
individual file again. This process could be further automated
so that it would involve a minimum of time and attention on both
ends.

Mass Storage Options
We can also support file transfers on removable high -density
disks -- currently Bernoulli and Zip disks by Iomega. Other
formats could be supported at your request.
Software License Options
We supply a variety of software packages that access, view,
and print scanned images, and also provide for automating the
transmission of files to be reprinted by us. Multiuser prices
can be quoted on request.
WINDOWS (3.11, NT, 95)
Apprentice -- viewer/printer/remote transmission
Views/prints DWG, DXF, DGN, TIF, GP4, and
HPGL or Calcomp PLT files on any Windows device.
Automated remote transmission for service bureau
printing. $ 99.00
Image Access -- customized MS Access database
for image retrieval. Includes Access runtime.
Full multiuser. Supports multiple file viewers. 800.00
DOS
UltraView image viewer/printer for TLC 300.00
U1traTransit import/export option for UltraView 2,000.00
Software support is free for the first 90 days, $40.00 per hour
thereafter.
Option for Future Expansion
If your needs grow, you have the option of purchasing a KIP 3800
Digital Copier to do your own scanning and printing. South Miami
GRAFIX is a Shacoh USA dealer for the 3800 and provides
maintenance contracts for the machine. The current price is
approximately $60,000 including the computer interface.

MESSAGE: Re: Document Scanning Project
PROPOSAL
In response to your concerns about the limitations of the UltraBase software product, I propose the
folfrwing:
We will replace UltraBase with a custom database application developed to your specifications at no
additional charge. Further, we will save you the future expense of upgrading to DataScan's multiuser
site -license by including full multiuser capabilities at no additional charge. Your only future licensing
requirement will be for any added "seats" for the UltraView file viewer, which are $295.00 each, or
UltraMark markup utility, which is $195.00. You will retain the UltraTransit, View, and Mark utilities
and their licenses for use with TLC images and the database we will supply. You may wish to
upgrade to the Windows version of the viewer when it becomes available.
In place of DataScan's 15% annual maintenance fee on UltraBase, I propose an hourly rate ($40.00)
for program modifications if and when they become necessary after the initial design has been
installed and meets your approval. We will supply all code to you, so you will be able to make your
own modifications in the future as you see fit.
FEATURES
As we have discussed. the features to be included in our custom application will be:
1) Relational file structure. with the main record representing the Building Permit, and
suPtrecords listing all available documents.
2) Pushbutton viewing and printing of selected documents.
3) Ability to search on any field or combinations of fields.
4) Flexible memo fields for miscellaneous data.
5) Industry standard Microsoft Access data format, with ability to attach to other database
tables.
6) User-designable reports.
7) Direct support of TLC. GP4, PCX, BMP, and TIF images, so that document sets can be of
mixed formats.
8) No artificial limits on filename conventions or directory structure for the scanned
documents.
9) Access privileges limited by user group and/or user name.
TIMETABLE
As we discussed on the phone. I already have a working model of the database structure and entry
forms for you to evaluate. If this preliminary design meets your approval, I should be able to deliver
a working version by mid -January that would immediately allow you to begin entering data and using
the scanned images.
Once this version proves itself in use. it can be refined into a standalone application suitable for
distribution to other users on your network. This form of the application would use an Access
runtime module (no charge) so that a full installation of the Access database product would not be
required by other users. It would offer enhanced ease of use by techniques like substituting buttons
for more complicated menu commands. It would also prevent casual users from modifying the way
the application is designed.
This final phase of development should not take more than 30 to 60 days.
If this is agreeable, pending your approval of the database model, please initial a copy of this
document and return for our records. or just fax a memo indicating acceptance. Development will
continue immediately.
Thanks for your collaboration in this ground -breaking project.
