CREATIVE "BOOK OF IDEAS" BASED ON HUD'S COMMUNITY 2020 SEMINARS THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT ACTION. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (the Department) is interested in partnering with an entity in the private sector to develop an accessible, creative "book of ideas" based on the Community 2020 Seminars. One year ago, the Department launched a series of public diaglogues addressing critical issues that face America over the next 25 years and beyond, including the changing economy, rase and diversity issues, homelessness, and more. These are known as the Community 2020 Seminars. Participants in these seminars have included national opinion leaders on contemporary urban issues. This cooperative effort will compile the contributions to the 2020 Seminars and supplement them with articles, photographs, and art material, which will be developed into a book. This book will be suitable for distribution to general audiences. This hard cover book will be visually attractive, while covering cutting edge issues in plain English. The Department is interested in obtaining proposals from entities who may wish to pursue this partnership. The Department will make available to interested parties a document ("Guidelines") that more fully describes the Government's ideas for this book and the conditions under which it would wish to engage in the effort. These Guidelines will be available on or about 15 working days after publication of this announcement in the CBD. Interested parties may obtain a copy of the Guidelines by calling Paul Gatons in the Office of Policy Development and Research at (202) 708-4230, ext. 5701.
