Research, Design, Writing, and Book Publishing Services

The Oregon State Capitol, specifically the Office of the Legislative Administrator (OLA), is seeking research, design, writing, and book publishing services for a comprehensive documentation project related to the Capitol Accessibility, Maintenance and Safety (CAMS) Project. The procurement involves creating a 50-to-100-page book in both print and PDF formats that will detail the restoration of the Oregon State Capitol. This contract opportunity is centered in Marion County and involves producing a high-quality publication using available project resources, including the Capitol Master Plan, historical documentation, CAMS architectural designs, project presentations, images, videos, and historical photographs. The RFI is soliciting information on project methodology and pricing for the book publication services, with a specific response deadline of September 28, 2022. Potential vendors will need to demonstrate expertise in research, design, writing, and publishing historical documentation, with a focus on creating a professional and comprehensive narrative about the state capitol's restoration process.

No specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or incumbent vendor information are provided in the available documentation. The RFI does not explicitly outline budget ranges, funding requirements, or specific award values for the project. While the document indicates the CAMS Project is scheduled for completion by 2025, no precise budget constraints are mentioned. The contract opportunity appears open to professional research, design, and publishing firms capable of producing a detailed historical documentation project. Interested vendors are expected to provide comprehensive information about their proposed approach, methodology, and pricing structure for creating the commemorative book about the Oregon State Capitol's restoration. The procurement seems designed to gather market intelligence and explore potential service providers rather than issue an immediate formal solicitation.
