The IMPO is requesting a quote from your agency for Visual Components of the IndyGo Red Line. Due by June 29 at 4pm ET
Background
The IMPO and IndyGo are conducting a study to understand the impacts of the IndyGo Red Line bus rapid transit project. The study team would like to gather both station-level photography and drone video traversing the full route to compare with imagery before the route began operations.
The drone video before route implementation can be found here.
For photography, the IMPO and IndyGo are seeking street-level photographs at every Red Line station (28 stations) in each cardinal and intercardinal direction (8 photographs per station). For the drone video, the IMPO and IndyGo seek a video taken from an overhead angle traversing the route, starting at the 66th Street station and heading south.
The IMPO and IndyGo wish to illustrate changes in land development along the Red Line via photos and video. Drone video will include added illustrations identifying major changes (see Task 4).
*Note: Solicitation may be broken into multiple contracts. Submit quotations by task.

Task 3. Raw Drone Footage

Task 4. Before & After Drone Illustration
Vendor shall illustrate changes between Baseline drone footage and new footage at twenty-five (25) sites selected by the IMPO. This will be an edited version of Task 3. Visualizations will include text and icons identifying the targeted site and may include headlines or other visual media integrated into the footage as the drone traverses the corridor.
Deliverables: Polished video traversing the full Red Line corridor with seamlessly integrated illustrations of changes at 25 sites along the route
