Collect, Treat and Return Video Series

The Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District is seeking creative firms and independent contractors to develop a comprehensive three-video series focused on showcasing the wastewater collection, treatment, and clean water return processes. The project requires producing three animated videos, each ranging from 60 to 120 seconds in length, intended for use across the district's website, social media platforms, and in-person presentations. Proposals will be accepted via email until 4:00 p.m. CT on Monday, October 13, 2025, with a project completion deadline of Wednesday, December 17, 2025. The evaluation process will utilize a points-based scoring system across four categories: Qualifications (0-30 points), Approach (0-25 points), Pricing (0-15 points), and Overall Impression (0-30 points). The district emphasizes that the contract will not be awarded solely on price, but rather on the basis of the most qualified consultant, potentially including follow-up interviews. Interested parties should submit proposals to rfp@madsewer.org with "CTR Videos" clearly stated in the subject line, and can direct any questions to Amy Steger at 608-338-2334 or the provided email address.

The Request for Proposal does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The district will provide supporting documentation to potential bidders, including brand standards, examples of past video campaigns, and a professional services agreement template. The contract will be structured as a "not-to-exceed" arrangement, with the district reserving the right to contract for all or part of the proposed project. While no specific budget range is detailed in the provided documentation, the comprehensive evaluation process suggests the district is prioritizing quality and creative approach over minimal cost. The procurement is tax-exempt, and all proposal responses and contents will be considered public record. Potential vendors should monitor the district's website (https://www.madsewer.org/contracting-center/) for any addenda, which should be checked 72 hours before the proposal deadline.
