Leadership by Design: Request for Proposals

Request for Proposals

Deadline for Responses: Friday, March 13, 5pm

On Thursday, April 23rd, AIA Oregon will hold its biennial "Day at the Legislature" event in Salem. The event is planned to promote AIA Oregon's High Performance Buildings legislation (see other posts), as well as the goals of the 2030 Challenge, and their role in shaping the future of Oregon's building industry and economy.

One component of this half-day event has been the display and demonstration of high performance projects and building concepts. These displays and demonstrations will be presented in the main ground floor space in the Capitol Building. The planning committee for this event is soliciting proposals for displays or demonstrations that will reinforce the event's promotion of high performance and sustainable buildings, and the economic growth potential that they represent.

Participants:
The success of AIA Oregon's high performance building legislation will require the support of a broad, diverse coalition. To that end, we encourage participation from the following:

• Students or Faculty involved in programs related to the green building industry.
• Architectural design and engineering professionals, or firms.
• Construction industry companies and trades.
• Product manufacturers or process developers.

Display or Demonstration Formats:
The committee has identified four potential types of displays or demonstrations that can be accommodated in the available space at the State Capitol Building

• Design or information display boards
• Small scale demonstrations or displays.
• Larger scale demonstrations.
• Digital format boards for display via projection.

The planning committee is looking for ideas that will engage, educate and inspire a changing audience of people passing by in the Capitol. The audience will include the general public, professionals participating in our event, state legislators, and others doing business at the capitol.

The planning committee is requesting that proposals be submitted by March 13th and by email to aiaoregon@aiaportland.org.

The planning committee will inform all respondants of their selection or non-selection by Monday, March 23rd.

Participating exhibitors may be responsible for delivery, set up, and take-down of their demonstrations at the State Capitol on the day of the event. More information will be provided by AIA Oregon at a later date.

Questions about this Request for Proposals or about the April 23rd event may be addressed to Stuart Weir at AIA Oregon: aiaoregon@aiaportland.org.
