    Description

    Title: Canadian Sailing Direction Publications - Digital Transformation

    Objective: As part of the Canadian Hydrographic Services (CHS) Digital Transformation Initiative, the CHS is looking to hire professional support to update all volumes of our Canadian Sailing Directions publication with the goal of standardizing the design and layout across all volumes. We require that a variety of improvements be made throughout the publication which will drastically reduce maintenance time and effort throughout our continuous maintenance workflow.

    Now that the files are available primarily as a digital download, it is important to optimize them for digital consumption by reducing the file size, adding hyperlinks throughout, and configuring them to work with screen readers and other accessibility tools. Changes are required to the product to make it compliant with the Government of Canada Standard on Web Accessibility policy and WCAG 2.0 level A and AA.

    Period of the Contract: The period of the Contract is from date of Contract to December 31, 2023.

    Option to Extend the Contract: The Contractor grants to Canada the irrevocable option to extend the term of the Contract by up to three (3) months under the same conditions.

    Deliverables:

    The Professional Support / Contractor will:

    •provide the CHS with all Adobe InDesign working files with all of the edits listed above
     
     ◦rename files according to standard (to be provided at project kickoff)
     ◦reorganize the file and folder structure to model (to be provided at project kickoff)

    •provide the CHS with a final production-ready PDF of all volumes of Canadian Sailing Directions using the following naming convention:

     ◦English: chs-shc-VOL-eng-date.pdf (e.g. chs-shc-ATL100-eng-202208.pdf)
     ◦French: chs-shc-VOL-fra-date.pdf (e.g. chs-shc-ATL100-fra-202208.pdf)

    •provide the CHS with documentation outlining the work that was done with clear instructions on how to perform each of the tasks internally for future maintenance and product updates

    All files will remain the property of the Government of Canada and are subject to copyright © His Majesty the King in Right of Canada, as represented by the Minister of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.
