Subject: Re: new exhibit planning
Cynthia,
The National Park Service has a website that's chock full of info about
exhibit
development. Some of it is specific to Park Service or federal
government
projects, but some of it is generally useful. Here are a couple relevant
pages:
http://www.nps.gov/hfc/products/exhibits/ex-indepth.htm
http://www.nps.gov/hfc/products/imi/imi-docs.htm
It helps to know that NPS applies the term "interpretive media" to
indoor and
outdoor displays, AV productions, computer applications, and brochures.
Your colleague can get a PDF copy of our most recent exhibit planning
and
design scope of work through this link:
http://ww.nps.gov/hfc/pdf/ex/ex-plan-design-dec2006.pdf
This is not a complete contract, only a description of the work that's
being
purchased. There's also a fabrication scope available on the website.
Many design firms will respond to an RFP on spec, with no compensation,
if
they're interested in the job and have time for the work. Another
approach is
to ask a bunch of firms for more general information about their
approach
(sometimes called a Request for Qualifications), and then send the RFP
to a
limited number based on reviewing their general materials.
It's worth putting effort into finding knowledgable, experienced people
who will
explain things as you go and whom you enjoy working with. Good luck!
