Hirota, Inc. (SOH) is pleased to respond to the County of Hawaii, Department of Information Technology, Notice to Provide Professional Services, Fiscal Year 2023-24, to provide GIS Mapping/Programming Services to support Department of Information Technology projects. SOH wishes to be considered for the following category of service: DS.4) Computer Engineering (GIS Mapping/Programming Services) As an ESRI Silver Partner, SOH has had access to the latest GIS software and training from the largest provider of geographic information system software in the world. This compelling combination has enabled the firm to remain a leader in the practical application of advanced GIS technology. For the US Army Corps of Engineers' Boundary Studies and Surveys for eight US Army installations and 120,974 acres of land, SOH provided crucial support surveying, providing ground control for aerial imagery, and CAD formatted planimetric and topographic mapping. In addition, SOH has developed survey grade ArcGIS geodatabases, attendant metadata, and the complex conversions necessary to move data from AutoCAD to ArcGIS. SOH completed 3D imaging services for 3,650 lane miles of City and County of Honolulu roads for the Pavement Management System and Street Condition Survey. Over 60 million images were captured, compiled, processed, mapped, and fed into the City's ArcGIS database for viewing and analysis by Department of Facility Maintenance personnel. In 2015, SOH completed complex and exacting airport mapping survey work at the then, Honolulu International Airport. In the field, SOH survey crews located a wide variety of specific runway end elements and markings required by the FAA. In the office, GIS personnel identified and classified the objects and markings according to FAA Advisory Circular AC 150/5300-18B. All information was then provided as attributes for pre-defined feature classes and eventually uploaded to the FAA Airports-GIS website. 864 SOUTH BERETANIA STREET, HONOLULU, HAWAII 96813 | Tel: 808-537-9971 | Fax: 808-524-6313 | www.samhirota.com Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (808) 382-6536, or via email at dennishirota@gmail.com.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost) The Boundary Studies and Surveys for Various Army Installations, Oahu, and Hawaii Island represents one of the largest survey projects accomplished by any Hawaii survey firm, demonstrating that SOH, as a small business, can successfully complete a large and complex boundary and topographic survey project across various types of terrain. Totaling 120,974 acres and 8 US Army facilities, the boundary and topographic survey services included title reports, recovery of boundary evidence, staking of missing boundary corners, location of installation perimeter fence, and location of improvements 5 feet beyond the property boundary. Cadastral survey grade ArcGIS geodatabase development including collection of hard copies, validation of existing survey and title information and creation of parcel /boundary data and monumentation. Work included new aerial surveys, identification of adjacent properties, internal boundaries within the installation for ACTUS/IPC property, HECO easements, installation or replacement of missing monuments, and field verification of encroachments and conflicts. In addition, new title reports for each installation were included. Surveys also included the installation and location of ground control points for reference by the aerial survey. Project deliverables included ArcGIS Geodatabase and metadata for boundaries, survey controls, and monumentation. Installations surveyed were Aliamanu Military Reservation, Kipapa Gulch, Mokuleia (Old Nike Site), Schofield Barracks, Pohakuloa Training Area, Fort Shafter and Shafter Flats, Tripler Army Medical Center, Wheeler Army Air Field, East Range and Fort DeRussy Military Reservation. “Although the description of the project appears to be straight forward and easily accomplished, this project has turned out to be very complicated.... Although standard boundary documents were used, Army unrecorded documents and easement discovery was very time consuming, and SOH committed overtime efforts to remain on schedule. With all of the hurdles that SOH had and continues to overcome, they remain professional, courteous and responsive. SOH does not seek modifications readily; they work with us to provide the best quality submittals. They are always available to meet with us, and they are very helpful in situations where solutions are required." 25. FIRMS INVOLVED WITH THIS PROJECT a.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost) Relevant to the AH2042-34 contract’s scope was mobile laser scanning at the Varsity Center that SOH performed for Lowney Architects in late 2021 and early 2022. Four buildings with various condition challenges, slated for renovation by Kamehameha Schools (KS) were laser scanned and Revit modeled for current condition assessment and future remodeling/renovation use by Lowney and KS. Two large spaces in a Varsity Center building were in particularly poor condition. No electricity and lack of lighting in the dark kitchen and loft spaces might otherwise have precluded contextual color photography taken simultaneously with the laser scans if not for the creative use of LED lights attached to the SOH mobile scanner. The resulting photos, viewable through a browser-based virtual walk-through platform, allowed safe, remote inspection of the somewhat dangerous areas and a greater understanding of conditions at the site. Construction work is expected to begin in 2018. Sam O. Hirota, Inc. scanning teams completed digital documentation of the approximately 22,000 square feet of interior and exterior space on two separate days. SOH also deployed surveyors to the site to geospatially locate scanning targets placed at strategic points on site. These geospatially referenced targets allowed Hawai‘i State Plane coordinates to be appended to the scans, a crucial aid in registration (alignment) of the many separate scans taken. The scans were delivered to SOH partners who created Revit models of the entire site. 25. FIRMS INVOLVED WITH THIS PROJECT a. (1) FIRM NAME (2) FIRM LOCATION (City and (3) ROLE Sam O. Hirota, Inc.

Boundary Study Surveys, Various Army Installations, Oahu, Hawaii US Army Corps of Engineers - Honolulu | Official Report Date: 01/22/2014 Client Contact: Todd C. Barnes, Chief, E&C Division, Tammy Luke, Project Manager | 808-835-4078 Attributes rated Rating Surveying, Mapping & Geospatial Very Good Planimetrics Very Good Thoroughness of Site Investigation/Field Analysis Very Good Quality Control Procedures and Execution Satisfactory Plans Clear and Detailed Sufficiently Satisfactory Management and Adherence to Schedules Very Good Cooperativeness and Responsiveness Exceptional Quality and Accuracy of Imagery Exceptional   RATING OFFICIAL REMARKS: PM Comments: Although the description of the project appears to be straight forward and easily accomplished, this project has turned out to be very complicated. The definition of a military installation boundary was not always clearly defined. Although standard boundary documents were used, Army unrecorded documents and easement discovery was very time consuming, and SOH committed overtime efforts to remain on schedule. Field surveying for installation boundaries included survey data in areas with restricted/limited access. Placing boundary monuments included areas with explosive hazards, and a qualified UXO guide was required in one instance. Obtaining imagery over a live range was a particularly difficult challenge to overcome as the restricted airspace provided limited opportunities. In addition, clear weather was required in order to gather the photos, thus an exceptional amount of planning and proactive engagement with the range was necessary. Schofield range has the most restricted airspace in Hawaii, and due to SOH team's standby readiness, high-quality imagery was acquired.   H. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION  30.

County of Hawaii Notice to Providers of Professional Services FY 2024-2025 STANDARD FORM 330 (REV. 7/2021) SAM O. HIROTA, INC. CAPACITY Sam O. Hirota, Inc. is structured to leverage its surveying and engineering personnel to quickly respond to the requirements of its clients. In terms of large jobs, we have successfully completed 18 IDIQ contracts for federal agencies, including the U.S. Navy, U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, and U.S. Coast Guard, since 1983. Services included civil engineering, land surveying, and aerial photogrammetry. Concurrently, the firm provided important surveying and engineering services for, among others, Red Hill Fuel Storage Facility to survey 71 monitoring points; laser scanned Four Seasons Hualalai Resort hotel rooms for the purpose of renovating and capturing as-built plans; Honolulu Airport Runways for preparation of Aeronautical Field Data Collection and Geographic Information System (GIS); digital leveling for the Island of Oahu 1 of 2 phases to reproduce Geodetic Digital Leveling Observations for approximately 108 miles; and educational institutions to expand and to renovate classrooms. To accomplish these jobs successfully, project managers at SOH know that resource allocation, communication, and flexibility are their most important responsibilities. In 2012, the U.S. Army entrusted SOH with a comprehensive boundary study and survey contract (No. W9128A-09-D- 0001, Task Order 0024) that will eventually include all Oahu Army installations. As Tammy Luke, Boundary Studies and Surveys Project Manager for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, noted in the project's Interim Performance Survey: Although the project is only 10% complete, Sam Hirota provided excellent service in responding quickly to our requests for proposals, including revisions during the year end crunch. Funding for this project became available late in the fiscal year. Sam Hirota worked tirelessly through the weekends and late into the evenings to provide numerous proposals that met our changing requirements. They were available to us at anytime while we worked through the paperwork of awarding this large task order. Sam Hirota provided fair and reasonable proposals, which allowed us to expedite the overall process. They were very cooperative, flexible and a joy to work with. We highly recommend them to anyone requiring their services. Despite its relatively small size, SOH can deploy up to four surveying teams at any one time. The teams' utilization of cutting-edge technology and sophisticated processing software saves both time and money, allowing SOH to efficiently manage multiple project priorities. I.

Hirota, PhD, PE, LPLS, President County of Hawaii Notice to Providers of Professional Services FY 2024-2025 5. Promotional and Descriptive Literature THE USE OF 3D REMOTE SENSING TECHNOLOGY Sam O. Hirota, Inc. (SOH) respectfully suggests the use of 3D remote sensing technologies, for which the firm owns the hardware and software and maintains the expertise necessary for successful implementation. These technologies are proven strategies to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of client projects, as well as the safety of personnel working in the field. 3D laser scanning is the process of rapidly capturing three-dimensional positional and measurement data of objects such as buildings and sites using a laser scanning sensor. Millions of x, y, and z data points are collected, then aligned together to form a "point cloud" of highly accurate, measurable 3D information. With the addition of a synchronized color camera, full spectrum RGB colors can be applied to the scans, making them more realistic, comprehensible, and usable. There are many types of 3D scanning instruments. SOH can utilize all of the below examples: • Terrestrial - mounted on a tripod, these scanners quickly capture large amounts of data at specific locations. The scanners are then moved to multiple locations, the information later merged to form an overall cloud of accurate 3D information • Mobile – SOH owns three types of mobile data capture devices: • a scanner and high-resolution photographic array secured to an SOH vehicle that can drive down a road and continuously gather 3D information quickly, efficiently, and safely. Large road areas and associated infrastructure assets can be captured in a short amount of time. (All SOH scanners feature Class 1, eye-safe lasers.) • a NavVIS M6 trolley with 4 LiDAR scanners and 6 cameras meant to capture large indoor and outdoor spaces quickly, efficiently, and accurately • The very newest “wearable” mobile mapping system, the NavVIS VLX carrying 2 multi-layer LiDAR sensors and 4 cameras designed to complement the M6 by capturing smaller spaces and multi-level areas. NavVIS data from both devices can be added together to form comprehensive 3D color representations The main contributions of laser scanning to client goals is the technology's ability to gather precise 3D data (if performed utilizing appropriate surveying practices, sub-millimeter accuracy can be achieved) in a short amount of time. Measurements of length, area, and volume can be conducted in the office, limiting the necessity of challenging, and often costly, repeat site visits. SOH has wide-ranging 3D color laser scanning experience on a variety of projects: County of Hawaii Notice to Providers of Professional Services FY 2024-2025 Project Use International Market Place Historic Banyan Trees 3D models in Sketchup format for use by architects mandated to incorporate historic banyan trees in their design Hulihe'e Palace Digital survey of historic structure to determine earthquake damage Kailua Methodist Church Georeference files available within RiPano Makena Beach and Golf Resort Complete digital capture of hotel for use by structural engineers planning renovation/remodeling of the hotel Punahou Winne Units Complete digital capture for historical, institutional advancement, marketing and an interactive virtual tour Four Seasons, Maui Scan to 2D drawings for as-built condition assessment of luxury suites for comparison to design drawings and eventual remodel Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace Thermal scans + images for Cathedral renovations Sacred Heart's Chapel Thermal scans + images for historic stained-glass renovation USS Arizona Memorial Topographic survey, laser scanning for complete digital capture effort as well as a virtual tour Kaneohe MCBH Historic Hangers 2D Sections, elevations in AutoCAD for inclusion in Historic American Building Survey documentation Queen’s Medical Center Laser scanning and photography of Pauahi Tower 5th floor geriatric ward and spaces above false ceiling.

Hirota, Inc. is proud to represent NavVIS in Hawai‘i. Investment in this state-of-the- art technology allows fast, accurate capture of interior and exterior spaces. With the M6’s ability to quickly capture large spaces and the new VLX’s complementary smaller/multi-level capability, SOH can offer full digital capture of any size/configuration of space. While the digital capture of spaces is important to the efficient use of client time and money, an equally, if not more important aspect of reality capture is the ability of clients to use the information in meaningful ways. NavVIS’s web-based companion software Indoor Viewer offers clients the following features: Fully immersive The unique combination of 360° images and 3D scan data provides a realistic experience and lets users move through the digital space as if they are on site Intuitive The intuitive user interface makes it easy to use the advance functions to browse, enrich, and interact with digital buildings Web-based Web-based software displays 3D buildings in any compatible browser without the need to install software or download plugins County of Hawaii Notice to Providers of Professional Services FY 2024-2025 Examples of SOH projects City and County of Honolulu Environmental Services Kapolei Pump Station captured with SOH NavVIS M6. All three levels of the pump station can be seen, shared, annotated, and measured using Indoor Viewer, the NavVIS web- based 3D visualization tool.

Right above: Sculpture Garden area from the second floor Courtyard seen using IndoorViewer. Even though the Navvis viewer is called IndoorViewer, the system is equally adept at capturing outdoor spaces. Right middle: Interior children’s creative space. In August of 2020, Sam O Hirota, Inc. conducted a Topographic Survey of a portion of the project area being the grounds around the “Hawaii State Art Museum”, and fronting roads Hotel Street and Richard Street. The field survey located with elevations, improvements, trees with diameter of 0.5-feet and greater, top and bottom of walls and slopes, measured utility inverts and pipe sizes, and determined ground topography. The project was surveyed at 1-inch=20-feet scale. A plan delineating located features and improvements, and contours at 1-foot intervals, as related to subject boundaries, was produced and provided. Deliverables consisted of Civil3D “DWG” file and PDF files of the topographic survey. In addition to a detailed topographic survey, SOH utilized its company-owned Navvis mobile mapping system to laser scan and capture full- color spherical images of the exterior and selected interior elements of the building and surrounding grounds. The resulting color point clouds and 360° images can be viewed, measured, routed, geographically tagged, and more, all from the comfort, safety, and convenience of any supported internet browser. The point clouds can also be downloaded and used independently in the creation of: • scan-to-BIM workflows • as-built verification for remodelling/renovation • 3D modeling Client: Urban Works Architects Contact: Mr. John Ida Services: Topographic Survey 3D Full-Color Laser Scanning, Spherical Imaging, Online Visualizatio County of Hawaii Notice to Providers of Professional Services FY 2024-2025 Breakthrough Visualization, Measurement, and Collaboration Tools Sam O.
