Promotional Video Bid

The Greater Lowell Regional Vocational Technical School District in Massachusetts is seeking bids for the preproduction, production, and post-production of a promotional video. The video is expected to be 5-8 minutes in length and shot in high definition, with filming taking place at the school as well as at interviewees' homes or businesses within the school district's geographical area of Lowell, Dracut, Tyngsborough, or Dunstable. The video will be used for a New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) accreditation visit and for showcasing the school to visitors from member towns, the state Department of Education, and other political or local leaders. The selected firm will be responsible for the shooting, editing, interviewing, and planning of the video based on the district's guiding criteria and ideas. The RFP states that the budget for the project is established at $10,000 to $15,000, with some flexibility, but the district notes that as a public school district, they have limited resources and not a lot of flexibility in the budget. The district will help guide the story and provide a menu of items to capture, which will be used to create an outline by the contracted firm.

The original RFP required a mandatory pre-bid conference, but this requirement has been changed to a recommended pre-bid conference on November 22, 2019. The RFP does not provide any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, nor does it list any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The district has not specified any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The total award value is expected to be within the $10,000 to $15,000 budget range, with some flexibility.
