ASMFC Seeks Proposals for the Redesign of SEAMAP-South Atlantic Website Proposals Due October 13, 2023

August 28, 2023 — The following was released by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission:

The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking a web developer to design and host a new website for the South Atlantic portion of the Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (SEAMAP). SEAMAP aids in the collection, management, and dissemination of fishery-independent data throughout coastal waters in the southeastern US. The primary goal of this website is to serve as an information hub for the public and state agency members to access resources pertaining to southeastern coastal surveys. The website should heighten the understanding and use of SEAMAP surveys and the importance of fishery-independent data, while also being a repository for information.

The Commission requires a developer who has demonstrated experience in managing website projects and expertise with best practices regarding successful website design, development, and deployment. The ideal developer for this project should be able to design and execute a dynamic and modern website that helps showcase the purpose of SEAMAP to the public while acting as an active resource for SEAMAP survey managers. The ideal developer will also be willing to work closely with the Commission to create a website that is easy to update by the web manager.

Proposals should provide a cost estimate that takes into account all design and functionality elements from the RFP, including security measures and hosting. The chosen developer may have an opportunity to work on similar future projects for the Commission.

Applicants seeking to apply to the RFP must submit, as a single file, an electronic proposal by email no later than midnight EST on October 13, 2023 to Jainita Patel at jpatel@asmfc.org. Please see the RFP for complete proposal details, qualifying requirements, and submission instructions. The RFP is available at https://asmfc.org/files/RFPs/SEAMAP_Website_RFP.pdf.
