580-25-RFQ-0001 geospatial data dashboard for brackish aquifer studies

The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the award of a contract to create a web-based Interactive Data Dashboard to showcase a Brackish Resources Aquifer Characterization System (BRACS) study. The selected contractor will be required to develop a visually engaging dashboard that effectively communicates the findings and insights from the BRACS aquifer study using ESRI's ArcGIS platform, with features such as data visualization, mapping, and storytelling capabilities. The contractor must have expertise in developing interactive web-based mapping and data visualization tools, as well as experience working on geospatial projects. The project has a maximum total cost of $150,000 and a contract term from the execution of the contract to August 31, 2025, with a potential one-year extension. Proposals are due by November 26, 2024.

The RFQ requires good faith efforts to encourage Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) subcontracting opportunities for this project. There is no incumbent vendor or current contractor mentioned, and the RFQ does not provide information about any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The addendum to the RFQ clarifies various aspects, including the requirement for a Texas Taxpayer ID, the allocated budget, and the types of geospatial datasets that will be provided. Additionally, the addendum discusses the hosting and technical requirements for the solution, including the use of TWDB's ArcGIS Enterprise server and ArcGIS Online for the Interactive Data Dashboard.
