PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS

GLEN CANYON NATIONAL RECREATION AREA

CONTRACTING OFFICER: CECILIA MITCHELL

PHONE: (303) 969-2387

EMAIL: cecilia_mitchell@nps.gov

Q1: Does NPS have any additional minimum specifications for the loaner camera (codec, color subsampling, etc)?Is there any software that the MacBook should have pre-installed?

A1: No additional requirements for the loaner camera. It should be capable of capturing imagery that will be compatible with the contractor’s footage. Basic OS should be installed on MacBook - no additional software necessary (we have our own Adobe licensing).

Q2: Will the Orientation meeting be on-site or over the phone?

A2: NPS requires a phone meeting. If contractor prefers in person, that's fine, but it will be at no additional expense to the government.

Q3: Can the portfolio samples be provided as YouTube or Vimeo web links? Or should they be submitted as MP4 files on a USB thumb drive?

A3: Links, USB, DVD are all acceptable. So is file sharing if the file sharing system does not require additional software or subscriptions on the part of NPS. We use Google Drive - that is also an acceptable way to share files.

Q4: Should we assume that ¿seven day trip" means 7 shoot days plus additional days for travel to/from Glen Canyon NRA?

A4: Yes. Plan 7 days shooting plus two days travel (9 days total). Note, seven day trip is a minimum travel standard. If contractor feels it is appropriate and/or necessary, and within budget to spend more time shooting in park, that is acceptable.

Q5: Based on the PSA links for inspiration, is NPS open to creative filmmaking and storytelling techniques?

A5: Yes. We are looking for products that will connect with our visitors and potential visitors on an emotional level and inspire positive change. We embrace the fact that creative filmmaking and storytelling are some of the best ways to do that.

Q6: Is it the client's expectation that all of the PSAs will be shot in warmer months, meaning filming will not begin for almost a year?

A6: Shooting should take place when on-screen personnel can comfortably wear shorts, t-shirts and/or bathing suits during mid-day. Our weather is typically suited for this type of clothing between late March and mid-October. Our desire is that the on-site shooting for this project will take place sometime between mid-August and mid-October 2019.

Q7: Will the NPS employees using the cameras, laptop and Ipads have video production experience?

Does the equipment also need to have light kits, lavolier mics, tripods, etc?

A7: NPS personnel using this equipment will have experience, although not extensive experience (1-2 years). As NPS will only be shooting b-roll, mics and lights will not be necessary. A tripod compatible with the camera will be.

Q8: Is there a budget range for the project?

A8: The NPS does not provide project budget information during a solicitation.

Q9: Most TV PSAs are 30 seconds or, at most, one minute. Is it safe to assume that the ninety second videos will just be used on the NPS web site?

A9: 90-second PSAs will be used on NPS website, social media, and on TV screens at local businesses.

Q10: Most local TV stations are not equipped to broadcast UHD/4K yet, but the requirement calls for a 4K master of each of the PSAs

A10: We require a 4k master that can be converted to lesser quality formats for use on internet and lesser quality broadcast outlets.

Q11: The seven-ten days of shooting references Arizona, yet elsewhere in the RFQ it references two locations in Utah. Is it your expectation that the seven to days of shooting can cover all three locales?

A11: Yes. Contractor will be responsible for transportation to/from Page, AZ. NPS will be responsible for transportation in-park. Sample itinerary looks something like this:

Day 1 - Arrive in Page, AZ

Day 2 - Shoot in/around Page, AZ

Day 3 - Shoot in/around Page, AZ

Day 4 - Shoot in/around Page, AZ

Day 5 - Shoot in/around Page, AZ

Day 6 - Travel to Escalante, Bullfrog, or Dangling Rope, UT with stop to shoot Rainbow Bridge National Monument. Travel will be by NPS boat or plane.

Day 7 - Shoot in backcountry setting including overnight to capture camping/night sky imagery.

(Days 6-7 could be combined but this would create longer, more challenging days)

Day 8 - Return to Page, AZ shooting on the way. Travel will be by NPS boat or plane.

Day 9 - Depart Page, AZ

Q12: Do the actors need to be SAG/AFTRA?

A12: This is not an NPS requirement.

Q13: Is the gathering of drone footage permissible?

A13: No.

Q14: Is the distribution of the PSAs required under this contract?

A14: No.

Q15: If not, how will distribution of the PSA's be handled?

A15: NPS will primarily handle distribution through public affairs channels. The park's friends group may also purchase additional ad time.

Q16: Does the NPS have any UHD footage already available?

A16: No.

Q17: What is the deadline to submit questions, and are they to be submitted directly to [the Contracting Officer]?

A17: The deadline for submitting questions is July 25, 2019 at 2:00 PM ET. All questions must be submitted to the Contracting Officer via email. Send questions to cecilia_mitchell@nps.gov.

Q18: Do you envision these 10-15 PSAs having a consistent thematic look and feel across all (at least) 8 topics? From our initial read some subjects feel the proper approach might use humor while others might be more effective with a dramatic and/or serious approach. It would be helpful to know your thoughts on this.

A18: We would like the PSAs to have a consistent thematic look and feel as much as possible. But we agree, some subjects will be better handled with a humorous/light-hearted approach while others will be better treated seriously/dramatically. We would just ask that the PSAs that can be grouped as

"serious" and the PSAs that can be grouped as ¿humorous¿ retain some measure of consistency within those groups.
