Request for Qualifications for Geospatial Data Scoping Study

The California Ocean Protection Council (OPC) plans to develop a web-based information management system to access, download and view geospatial data to further improve the state’s ability to carry out ocean and coastal protection laws and management policies.

The OPC is seeking an environmental services consulting firm to conduct a detailed scoping study that will inform the development of this information management system through the following tasks:

(1) characterize and summarize the data management and analytical needs of the system’s primary users – state government agency staff – and (2) develop a requirements document that summarizes the functional and compliance requirements for a system that would effectively meet the needs of these users.

Interested firms should review the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and submit the necessary qualifications information by 5:00 p.m. on February 8, 2011. Details on the submission requirements are described in the RFQ.
