View complete RFQ (Adobe PDF) Project Description & Purpose The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) team at Consortium for Ocean Leadership (Ocean Leadership) is in the process of creating a new IODP Website. This new website is ultimately intended to serve the needs of both IODP’s U.S. Science Support Program (USSSP) and the portions of IODP’s U.S. Implementing Organization (USIO) that are administered by Ocean Leadership (see the section entitled, “IODP: Program Overview” for details about the IODP, USSSP, USIO, etc.) The purpose of this Web project is to provide online visitors with readily available, clearly organized, and highly useful information and data regarding various elements of IODP. The IODP team has a near-term requirement to have an effective graphical design developed for this new program website, with design focus being placed initially on the IODP Home Page, which features hypertext links to 7-10 major IODP components. Of these program components, only the USSSP Web Section (see below); the Future Program Web Section; and the Online Media Room need a new graphical design developed in the near future. Because USSSP has the most pressing time requirement, the decision has been made to develop the graphical design for the USSSP Web Section, and to have the design developed for the IODP Home Page; the Future Program Web Section; and the Online Media Room, soon thereafter. For this reason, the Scope of Work for this RFQ provides requirements only for design work needed to develop the new USSSP Web Section. A second, related RFQ will be issued within the next few weeks, which will provide the graphical design requirements and Scope of Work for the IODP Home Page; the Future Program Web Section; and the Online Media Room. |
