The Maine Connectivity Authority (MCA) ) is seeking proposals from qualified, independent consultants, consulting groups, institutions, or firms to support MCA’s Research and Data team as they build out the Connectivity Hub for Analysis, Research, and Transparency (CHART) with data integrated across platforms, tools to support ongoing data management, and further system development, all in the Esri ArcGIS Enterprise environment.

The MCA has entered a new phase of data management, analysis, public impact, and awareness. The organization has an opportunity to continue building on the spatial data management system that was brought in house earlier this year, in order to facilitate the organization, communication, and impact of its work and to promote connectivity through the collaboration of data sharing and analysis. We are looking for a consultant to continue building upon the foundation of the new data management system.

​

MCA is seeking support in the following areas: idea generation, resource development, customization, and integration of assets created for and maintained in the system. The services outlined in each area will complement each other to educate the public about the importance of broadband and MCA’s efforts in Maine, promote and successfully engage applicants through MCA funding programs, and support staff through spatial analysis and systems support. Depending on the time of year or evolution of a particular project, each service requires both general and targeted support.

Questions regarding this solicitation or requests for additional information should be emailed to Meghan Grabill, Research and Data Director at  mgrabill@maineconnecitivity.org. Proposal submissions should be emailed to Meghan Grabill, Research and Data Director at  mgrabill@maineconnecitivity.org.
