Specifications include, but are not limited to: Providing web design services to Washington VERTical, a program sponsored by the Port of Benton. The Port is soliciting proposals from contractors (hereafter referred to as “Consultant”) interested in creating graphic and web content to support an industry-led clean energy cluster to be known as Washington VERTical (hereafter referred to as ‘VERTical’ – ‘vert’ is green in French, and the operative word for the green cluster). The cluster’s first activity will be to support creation of a supply chain alliance to solve industrywide challenges to accelerate clean energy innovation. A recently awarded grant from the Washington State Department of Commerce Innovation Cluster Accelerator Program (ICAP) will be used to recruit and empower cluster membership, form and grow the supply chain alliance, coordinate with industry CEOs and foster crosssector collaboration to ultimately grow and leverage the Tri-Cities professional and technical workforce, local and entrepreneurial businesses expanding their network and collaboration across the state. The most important aspect is submitting a well-written and well-articulated plan to provide web and graphic design support to VERTical along with the Consultants experience with the role(s) identified in their submittal with particular attention to excellent digital graphic and web design.
