The work of this project requires the design and creation of a Web page-based multimedia program for use as an interactive information exhibit on California Mojave Desert public lands recreation sites and recreation opportunities. The program should be installed on appropriate hardware provided by the contractor, then installed on-site and fully operational upon completion. The project site is a small visitor center and office complex leased and operated by the California State Parks-Mojave Sector and located near Highway 14 in Lancaster, Los Angeles County, CA. This facility is one of several identified by a multi-agency management group (National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Department of Defense-Edwards Air Force Base, and California State Parks) as a facility to provide the traveling public with crucial information on desert recreation, proper use of desert resources, and safety information. The program will include information on the activities of the federal and state public land agencies participating in a National Performance Lab management experiment and working cooperatively to implement the requirements of the Desert Protection Act of 1994. As part of this project, the contractor shall conduct all research, design, create, and develop a Web site and Home Page about the California Desert public lands that will be housed and maintained from an identified agency server. The contractor shall provide all professional services, labor, materials, facilities, equipment, and travel as necessary to plan, design, evelop, install the Web page and multi-media program and provide operational training. The program and information developed shall be hard-drive based. Web pages and other electronic materials developed shall be usable on multiple hardware platforms and computer operating systems such as Windows 3.1, 95, and Apple 7.1-8.0. Fully licensed copies of all software required to operate the exhibit shall be provided. The Web pages shall reflect the significance, diversity and complexity of the California Desert public lands resources and recreational opportunities, and accurately represent the specific missions and management objectives of the participating agencies and describe the collaborative efforts underway to effectively serve the public and efficiently manage agency lands and heritage resources. Award will be made on the basis of "Best Value" to the Government, considering price, and factors other than price, such as Proposed technical approach, Experience of key personnel, Work samples, and Understanding of the project's purpose and technical requirements. This action is 100% set-aside for small business concerns. Interested parties may obtain a copy of the Request for Quote by written or facsimile request to 415/663-8132. (0221)
