DESCRIPTION

The contracting entity seeks a vendor to provide technical, analytical, and design services to develop and deliver a Climate Atlas platform over a 24-month period. The project involves creating a platform that compiles, organizes, and presents climate-related information in a usable and accessible format.

Scope of work includes compiling and reviewing relevant regional climate, infrastructure, and vulnerability datasets covering historical, current, and projected conditions. The selected contractor will also define and finalize key climate indicators, map layers, analytical outputs, and user requirements to support the platform’s functionality and usefulness.

Additional responsibilities include developing a standardized data framework and metadata plan that identifies data sources, assumptions, update requirements, and quality controls. The contractor must also establish a testing methodology and tracking system, such as a test case log and quality assurance checklist, to monitor platform functionality, data accuracy, and performance throughout development.
