About BMI
BMI Imaging Systems was incorporated in 1958 with the primary business plan to film County
records and is an acknowledged leader in the image conversion services marketplace. Since 1958
BMI has implemented hundreds of solutions throughout the United States and provides a full
range of image and data management services and product solutions. We also design and
implement custom high-performance image and data solutions and support installed systems
through web, phone and on-site support. Building upon a track record of quality and
dependability, we were able to expand our services to include preservation-related microfilming of
some of California's leading newspapers, as well as some of the world's rarest books and
manuscripts. This success spawned a reputation for service, precision, reliability and innovation.
We have been scanning microfilm based records for nearly 20 years and have performed many
successful projects in CA including the Fresno County Recorder along with the Fresno County
Board of Supervisors. Our Digital ReeL technology is currently in use by over 35 Counties in
California.
BMI maintains two comprehensive production facilities located in Sunnyvale, CA and Sacramento,
CA. Both production facilities are free-standing, alarmed, and equipped with automatic sprinkler
systems throughout. The Sunnyvale Facility is equipped with an internal storage vault used for the
safe-keeping and protection of client material and data. This area is constructed with concrete
floor, walls and roof and is secured with a vault door to control access. This storage area is fully
climate controlled and has internal fire-suppression equipment. This project will be performed at
our Sunnyvale, CA facility. We currently employee approximately 60 team members.
The Sunnyvale corporate headquarters facility is in the center of Silicon Valley @
1115 E. Arques Avenue
Sunnyvale, CA 94086
Phone: 408-736-7444
Our state-of-the-art Sacramento office is located close to downtown @
749 West Stadium Lane
Sacramento, CA 95834
Phone: 916-924-6666
Security/Insurance:
BMI’s production facilities are protected by an electronic security system. Electronic identification
fobs are required for all entrances. This system is monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Both of our production centers are protected by a heat activated sprinkler systems that notify the
fire department when activated.
Customer microfilm records that are not actively being processed are stored within a locked 7000
cubic foot walk-in vault with a two-hour fire rating. All customer film stored in our facility is
covered by an Inland Marine valuable papers insurance policy with a limit of $2,000,000. Client
film shipped from our facility is also covered by an Inland Marine policy to a limit of $200,000 per
shipment. At the time of their hiring, all of our employees are given an employee handbook that is
3
based on a framework from the California Chamber of Commerce. This handbook details BMI’s
employment policies and workplace regulations. As a requirement of employment, each
employee is required to sign a non-disclosure agreement that prohibits discussion or distribution
of information that originates with or belongs to a client of BMI. All production employees are
HIPAA trained and many are DOJ certified to work on Law Enforcement and Confidential
documents. BMI currently employs 60 staff members between our two facilities. Our client base
includes approximately 3,000 governmental agencies and private industry interests.
Confidentiality:
BMI has security policy documents in place as we process a high volume of confidential material
on a daily basis including HIPAA documentation. These security documents can be provided to the
County management upon request prior to contract award. All scanning will take place at our
Sunnyvale, CA facility which has recently been certified to be in compliance with the National
Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication (NIST SP) 800-53 guidelines. Below is
additional information regarding our security and facility:

Project Goals
BMI currently hosts historical land records for the Assessor-Recorder for the time period of 1979 –
1853. Listed below are the goals of this Digital ReeL system upgrade:
Achieve best standards compliance for microfilm creation of Official Records. Create
archival quality standard rolls from previously recorded documents. The documents
written to 16mm microfilm x 215’ @ 40x and will include un-redacted Official Records.
Provide a portal for County to upload newly recorded documents to keep current with
archive and back up needs. The County will upload both redacted and un-redacted Official
Records.
Acquire a copy of recorded images and indices from 1980 to current which will be added
to the existing hosted site (redacted and un-redacted) estimated at 22,000,000 images.
Provide a complete disaster recovery system by replicating the entire history of the County
in two geographically different data centers.
Provide back-up images for the current recording system.
Convert older on premise Vital Records system to hosted Digital ReeL version.
Replacing poor quality images in the current Digital ReeL systems from better quality
microfilm rolls (rescanning of rolls).
Work Plan
BMI will be shipping an external HD (encrypted) that can be utilized to copy the Official Records
from Tyler as described above along with the Digital ReeL Vital Records images and indices. This
data will be processed and converted to the current version of Digital ReeL.
BMI will provide a secure FTP for the submission of the backlog documents that need to written to
microfilm. This will be a one time project. For more current recorded documents, BMI will provide
a portal for daily submission of recorded images and data (MDA or Microfilm Digital Archive).
The final result of these projects is the County will have access to the complete history of Fresno
County land records in Digital ReeL format located in two geographically different data centers for
disaster recovery purposes. Additionally, we will achieve best standards compliance by creating
archival microfilm rolls for recorded images.
Lastly, BMI will provide pick up and delivery services for the 400 rolls that need to re-scanned.
Project Management:
BMI believes that a process driven, repeatable and predictable program is one that yields expected
results. The following describes our normal process for project startup and monitoring as the
project progresses.
Project Kickoff Meetings and Workshops
The BMI Account Executive and BMI assigned Project Manager meet with
the Counties Project Management Team (via phone, web conference, or in
5
person) to clarify the expectations of the project deliverable, reporting
requirements and completion dates.
Project Status Measurement, Monitoring, Meetings, and Reporting
All material is entered into BMI’s production tracking system, JobTraQ.
There is a project level status report that shows all the processes for that
project and how all material is distributed across those processes. Each
project is broken in milestones that will require communication between
both parties (via phone, web conference, or in person) to approve
milestone deliverables and resolve issues. Reports can be generated as
agreed to by both parties during the Kickoff Meeting.
Project Productivity and Budget Measurement and Monitoring
A project schedule is determined during the Kickoff Meeting. Milestones
are created and completed throughout the project in accordance with the
project schedule. Project budgets are tracked with the completion of each
milestone to provide a clear picture of funds available/used at a given
time during the project.
Source and Deliverable Data Transmittals
Deliveries or shipments from BMI for original material and/or physical
product deliverable will contain a Customer Copy and BMI Copy
transmittal sheet that requires a client signature upon receipt. Electronic
product deliverables will be followed up with an email requesting client
approval and receipt.
Confirmation of Requirements and Specifications
The purpose of the Kickoff meeting is to confirm the project specifications
and deliverable requirements. If during the course of the project the
project specifications and deliverable requirements need to be changed,
the project will be put on hold and written documentation will be
generated and agreed to by both parties. BMI development and project
management staff then put in place procedures through which all project
work is directed. While some of these procedures are manual (prep and
scanning) most image management and data merging processes are
automated. (See example of BMI HUB screenshot indicating management
process tracking. All processes are tracked and monitored.

Data Problem Resolution and Issues Management
Any problems or issues with a project are to be discussed with the BMI
Project Manager and BMI Account Executive (as needed) to resolve the
problems or issues. Written documentation will be sent from the party
identifying the problem/issue to the other party. An action plan to resolve
the problem/issue will be determined and agreed to in writing by both
parties.
Change Control
During the Project Kickoff meeting, the scope of the project will be defined
to reduce scope creep. If during the project a change is determined and
agreed to by both parties, the project will be put on hold, any previous
deliverables may be reworked to meet the new requirements, client
approval will be requested, and upon client approval receipt the project
will continue.
Customer Satisfaction Measurement and Monitoring
Milestone approval requests will be sent throughout the project requiring
the client to verify they are satisfied with the milestone deliverable. At the
completion of the project, a follow up is conducted to inquire on the
satisfaction of the deliverable and experience.

Complete Project
Transportation of Materials:
The County will designate a point of contact that will be responsible for communicating with
BMI during the project.
The Counties point of contact will work with BMI to allow access of BMI personnel to the
material for transport to the BMI document conversion facility.
BMI employs its own drivers and trucks to provide transport of documents to our facilities.
Upon arrival at BMI, each shipment is logged into the BMI job control and tracking system .
This includes assignment of a Job Number and box labeling, affixing bar coded document
control numbers to boxes for tracking and accountability. The Job Number and box numbers
are used throughout the conversion process.
During production the microfilm will be stored in our secure vault following scanning.

BMI intends to utilize our off-shore partners for the following services described herein:
Framing of images (these images are out of focus and cannot be read). This allows for efficient
printing/saving of images as this eliminates the black border around the frame or copyboard. See
samples below:
