Aerial Drone Cinematography Services

The contract encompasses the operation of drones to capture aerial cinematography footage beneath the I-105 freeway within Caltrans District 7’s right-of-way in Los Angeles, requiring strict adherence to Federal Aviation Administration regulations and controlled airspace protocols. This includes comprehensive flight planning, real-time video acquisition, and continuous compliance with all federal and state airspace restrictions, safety guidelines, and operational approvals specific to the urban environment of the I-105 corridor. All services must be delivered in coordination with Caltrans’ infrastructure and safety objectives, ensuring no disruption to traffic, public safety, or agency operations. The work falls under NAICS code 541921 for other photographic services and is structured as a subcontract, with performance entirely localized to the Los Angeles area. The contractor is expected to maintain full regulatory compliance, manage logistics within a high-density urban airspace, and deliver high-quality aerial footage aligned with Caltrans’ project needs without reliance on external citations or documentation beyond operational execution.
