- This is a modification to combined synopsis/solicitation number RS-ADM-03-161. The purpose of this modification is to add part 1 of attachment number 2 entitled "DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT, Broadcasting NRC Commission Meetings On The Internet." Part number 1 of Attachment number 2 follows: Attachment No. 2 DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT "Broadcasting NRC Commission Meetings On The Internet" PART ONE (1) I. BACKGROUND: One of the primary goals of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is to make available to the public, full and complete information on NRC's activities to assist the public in making informed judgements regarding NRC activities. The primary means of keeping the public informed about the regulatory activities and programs of the NRC is through the news media. The NRC informs the media by: issuing and posting on the Web news releases, speeches and fact sheets; distributing reports, decisions and other documents reflecting NRC actions; giving press conferences and talking with editorial boards of major newspapers around the country; responding to media questions after Commission meetings, staff meetings with licensees, plant visits, special inspections and other significant meetings; and talking to the media in person or by telephone. Since March of 2000, NRC has offered the public, industry, and other NRC stakeholders access to monitoring Commission meetings over the Internet (webcasting). Under this initiative, designated Commission meetings are made available for remote access by Internet viewers "live" (as they take place) and/or "archived" (digital recordings of previously held meetings). NRC currently obtains webcasting support described herein under an Interagency Agreement (IA) with the National Institutes of Health (NIH), IA number NRC-10-02-144. II. CONTRACT OBJECTIVE: The contractor shall provide experienced staff to support the creation and maintenance of the NRC webcast website and management of the technical aspects of NRC's webcasts. The Contractor shall also provide the hardware, software, and telecommunication services to achieve complete and clear webcasting of NRC meetings via the Internet. The contractor shall monitor all equipment remotely and shall not maintain a presence at NRC facilities. III. SCOPE OF WORK: The contractor shall capture the audio and video content of Commission meetings from NRC's Commission Hearing Room audiovisual system, encode the content, and transmit the content to the contractor's technical infrastructure from which the Contractor shall make it available to the public, free of charge. The contractor shall have a commitment to quality, customer service and providing the greatest number of viewers the fastest access possible to the NRC webcasts via the Internet. The contract support shall include: (webpage development & maintenance, technical expertise, hardware, software, telecommunications services, Internet bandwidth, primary and backup servers, backup power, "viewing-software" user-Licenses, etc.) required to provide all interested parties with reliable access to NRC webcasts during the contract period. The NRC estimates that a total of 40-meetings annually will be webcast "live", with an average length of support for each "live" webcast of 4-hours, including: A. 1-hour of pre-meeting testing the day before each webcast; B. 1-hour of pre-meeting testing the day of the webcast (just before the start of the actual meeting); C. 2-hour usual duration of the actual meeting. Upon completion of each "live" webcast, the Contractor shall add the webcast to the webcast webpage as an "archived" webcast, and provide viewers access to it on an "on-demand" basis, 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week, for up to 12-months. Occasionally, NRC will provide the Con NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS.GOV ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (07-MAR-2003).
