[MCN-L] Saint Louis Art Museum Mobile Tour RFP

[Wendy Sporleder]

SAINT LOUIS ART MUSEUM - REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
St. Louis Modern Exhibition Mobile Tour
Project Description - Scope
The Saint Louis Art Museum invites bids to produce a random-access multimedia 
mobile tour app for the St. Louis Modern: Architecture and Design exhibition. 
The app will consist of an introduction, 15 stops at artworks selected by the 
Museum, and a static page conclusion including sponsor and object credits.
This project will utilize video, contextual images, narration, and interview 
clips as determined by Saint Louis Art Museum (SLAM) staff in consultation with 
the selected producer. SLAM Decorative Arts curatorial staff members David 
Conradsen and Genny Cortinovis will  serve as the primary expert voices on the 
tour; up to 3 secondary St. Louis-based voices/personalities will also be 
included. This mobile tour will utilize only images and video provided by SLAM, 
who will secure all rights as necessary. The entire mobile tour must be both 
open and closed captioned. The mobile tour must be designed to provide 
analytics including total downloads as well as number of visits to specific 
tour stops, duration of visit to specific tour stops, option to leave feedback 
(i.e. rate success of stop) and other user metrics as determined by SLAM and 
selected partner. SLAM reserves the right to award part or all of the project 
to the vendor(s) it selects.
Project Deliverables
The vendor must deliver a self-guided mobile tour as a free app to be 
downloaded by our visitors via a cellular or Wi-Fi network to iOS and Android 
devices through their respective app stores. The mobile app must be available 
no later than October 23, 2015. Once installed, the app will be self-contained 
and will not require internet or other data access to function. The Museum 
retains all rights to the content of the multimedia tour as delivered, to be 
repurposed as needed.
The app will be built in native iOS and Android, and will also be optimized for 
various sized handheld devices, i.e. tablets, phones, etc. Additionally the iOS 
and Android version specs will be from most recent to (backward compatible) the 
previous two.
Proposal Requirements
Proposals for the above project must identify key personnel and previous 
projects similar to the St. Louis Modern: Architecture and Design mobile app. 
Proposals must also outline creative ideas for offering visitors layered 
content and an engaging narrative as they tour the exhibition, taking into 
account the attached images and exhibition information. Proposals must include 
a detailed project timeline based on a September 1 project start date and the 
completed app available for download by October 23, 2015. Timelines should 
allow 5 days for the Museum's final review and approval of the tour, as well as 
any other interim review milestones. All proposals must include pricing and 
payment terms. If you have a preferred letter of agreement or contract, you may 
include it. Finally, the successful bidder must comply with the Unauthorized 
Alien Act and complete the required Affidavit. Proposals must be received via 
email to Ann Burroughs, at

2015. Any questions regarding this RFP should be sent by email to Ann 
Burroughs, by 5:00 p.m. on July 17, 2015. Responses will be shared by email
