Scanning – The Vendor will provide all necessary hardware, software and staff to perform scanning of microfilm rolls that will be obtained from the State archives. • Content Inspection – The Vendor will provide necessary services to ensure that all pages scanned must be accounted for and any missed scans be captured prior to the microfilm being shipped back to the State archives. • Inventory Report – The Vendor will inventory the film and create an Inventory Report. Vendor staff will input their employee number and the quantity of images after completing each step: scanning, cropping, inspecting, indexing, enhancing, formatting, and shipping. • Book Scanning – The Vendor must scan all microfilm at 300dpi in color and save in industry standard JPEG format with 85% quality compression. All JPEG images will be converted to 300dpi single page Black & White TIFF images with Group IV compression. • Automatic Image Enhancement – The Vendor will automatically deskew and remove solid black borders on each TIFF image for optimum file compression. In cases where there may be black images with white text (if applicable) the Vendor will automatically reverse any TIFF image so that white text become white images with black text. There could also possibly be some pages which have marginal notations and dual polarity, where additional processing may be required during physical image enhancements.
