The government requires the procurement of vessel services to support multiple Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) video electronic monitoring trips aboard commercial shrimp vessels operating in Southwestern Florida waters. Fishery observers will be placed on approximately 15 trips aboard shrimp vessels to monitor smalltooth sawfish interactions. In conjunction with observers, vessels will be equipped with video monitoring hardware and software to determine the feasibility of monitoring smalltooth sawfish bycatch, release mortality, and other shipboard practices aboard shrimp trawl vessels. The objective of this research is to determine the feasibility of monitoring smalltooth sawfish bycatch, release mortality, and other shipboard practices aboard shrimp trawl vessels. In partnership with the shrimp trawl industry, the NOAA Fisheries Service Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) propose to conduct a pilot study to test video monitoring hardware and software to determine the feasibility of developing a cost-effective and reliable system of monitoring smalltooth sawfish bycatch, release mortality, and other shipboard practices aboard shrimp trawl vessels. Data on previous interactions (Figure 1) indicates sawfish are primarily captured in the southwest Florida area adjacent to the Florida Keys. Therefore, only vessels currently known to operate in this area and meet specific vessel and electronic capability requirements will be able to participate in the program. Period of Performance: July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, with four option years. Location of Work: The work will be conducted in Southwestern Florida.

PURPOSE/BACKGROUND

The U.S. Department of Education has a requirement for the production of up to (6) short videos, 3 – 4 minutes in length, aimed at teachers and the public.  The Department intends to award a contract with a period of performance of up to 1 year with the first 2 videos due by September 2015 and with the option to purchase up to 4 additional videos by the end of the 1 year contract period.  The intention of the videos is to build on and to complement a series of four existing videos, recently completed, that feature four schools, teachers, principals and students who talked about the impact the Department’s initiatives have had on them. The videos shall provide information on, and encourage support for, the Department’s initiatives and focus on the impact they are having in classrooms all over the country. The videos will mirror the style and tone of the series, and continue to be thoughtful and in documentary style, and will feature interviews with real teachers, principals, students and their families. The Department has already invested considerable time and funds in developing the video treatment, and we are currently in the process of securing the right teachers, principals and students for the next video, which will be filmed in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area. Secretary Duncan will also have a part. ED wants to build on the existing creative ideas that have been developed so that we can use similar creative concepts for the additional videos, resulting in the same look and feel. Basically ED wants to maintain the consistency of style and approach throughout the video series.

The Department has supported states in their efforts to raise standards for student learning, to improve supports and evaluation for teachers, and to champion technology and data on student progress. The Department has also developed funds and initiatives to support the needs of low-income and vulnerable students, and supported bold new thinking at the state and district levels about how to serve all students better. The videos will feature these and other efforts that have helped to drive and sustain exciting progress for students and teachers in communities throughout the country. The primary audience will be America’s teachers, showing their voices from the field. The viewers will see via interviews with real teachers and educators how they are making a difference for students and the passion they have for their jobs.

QUOTE INSTRUCTIONS

Quoters shall submit a brief narrative that addresses how the contractor plans to meet the requirements stated herein, including how they are prepared to maintain a consistency of style and tone throughout the series (see link below to existing videos in series), as well as the personnel proposed and three references for past projects. Quotes shall provide two to three sample videos via an online link and shall simply identify the lead personnel and the role played.

Offers shall include a firm-fixed-price (FFP) quote to meet the requirement to produce up to six vidoes, 3-4 minutes in length, similar in style to the existing videos in the series.  The price quote should include a FFP for the first 2 videos as well as pricing for up to 4 additional videos.  The first video will only have local Washington, D.C. travel and quotes shall account for this. Should subsequent videos require travel outside of the immediate D.C. area, a Not to Exceed (NTE) contract line item for travel will be used.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

The Government will make an award resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quotes conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. Evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are more important than price; but offeror’s should nonetheless, submit competitive prices. The Government will not, however, make an award at a significantly higher cost to gain slightly superior technical features. Technical quality will be evaluated based on:

1. Demonstrated Experience Producing videos for specialized audiences and production of videos for, or familiarity with, social issues. Quotes shall include sample videos via an online link (preferred) or DVDs of projects similar in scope, style, tone, size and complexity to ones in the existing series, and performed in the past three years, including references (client name, contact name and phone/email only). Demonstration of past experience in developing videos for groups or government projects in the public interest should be clearly observable.

2. Demonstrated understanding in the brief narrative of the Partners in Progress initiative and how the firm intends to complement, and maintain the look and feel of the existing series.

3. Key Personnel: Quotes shall provide information on the key personnel who will be involved in this project. Include a brief overview of their similar projects, experience, and other qualifications.

REQUIREMENTS

Department staff looks forward to a creative conversation with the individual or firm selected to create the video. The top-line aim of the video is to highlight the impact of Department-driven initiatives as they affect and support teachers, in part by emphasizing the powerful role teachers play in changing their own classroom and the effect they have on student success.

The videos may also feature a few brief remarks from either a Department official and possibly from a local school official or school leader about what the new flexibilities offer the schools. The closing will rely on a narrator, graphics or interview clips, driving home the point that the changes the Department is making today are critical for student success in the future. The Secretary of Education may appear as well. A voice-over narration may not be required because informational cards may be used with the video footage, music and interviews to convey the story. The Department will be able to help identify the educators who would be willing to be on camera to tell their story. The Department will also help to identify the geographic location for shooting the video; will help to identify educators willing to be on camera and discuss the type of teacher who would be best to highlight.

The contractor shall be able to view the past videos on the Department’s website or on YouTube. The timeline would be to complete the videos by the end of the September year 2015.

Other parameters include:

• The project would include concept management, production, and editing and rendering the final video in a format for posting on ED’s YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/usedgov.

• All videos and graphics must be 508 compliant. Section 508 requires that when Federal agencies develop, procure, maintain, or use electronic and information technology, Federal employees with disabilities have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to the access and use by Federal employees who are not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency. A transcript shall be provided for the video. The transcript shall be high quality and free of typos and errors and the transcript file shall be provided in Microsoft Word.

• The vendor shall produce a rough cut of the creative treatment that is discussed for the Department to review and 2 to 3 rounds of comments prior to delivery of the final video product.

• Rough cut versions of each video shall be digitally uploaded to an on-line site or DVDs provided to ED for subsequent review and comment by Department staff.

• A final version of the video shall be digitally posted to the contractor’s website for subsequent download and uploading, hosting and maintenance on ED’s YouTube channel on or within 2 days of final approval by the Government.

• For permanent archival purposes, the contractor shall provide ED with a master DVD of the video as well as a hard drive (w/original video footage) .
