Request for Proposal

Solid Waste Management Plan Animated Video

This Proposal is for production of short (e.g. 1-1/2 min) animated video(s)

The RDN is seeking a production team to produce a short (e.g.1-1/2 minute) animated video(s) for use during the Public Consultation on the RDN Solid Waste Management Plan Update. The RDN anticipates that additional communication media (e.g. print, story boards) will also be used to communicate the Solid Waste Management Plan Update and the RDN's preference is to work with a single service provider in this regard. Communications expertise and pricing on this broader spectrum of services will be considered in the evaluation of proposals.

The RDN appreciates all proposal responses; however, only short-listed or successful Proponents will be contacted.
