Request For Design Proposals (RFP) – Landscaping with Style Publication

AMWUA is soliciting proposals for professional design services (Project) to update the popular guide, Xeriscape: Landscaping with Style in the Arizona Desert (Xeriscape Guide). This publication provides homeowners with useful information on planning, installing, and maintaining residential landscapes that will thrive in our desert environment. Design services include updating publication graphics, overall layout, and written content and the alignment of new photographs for both the printed and digital versions of the Xeriscape Guide. Coordination between previously established AMWUA Xeriscape-focused webpages and this publication update are important considerations. Interested respondents may elect to incorporate professional photography services, released under a separate RFP solicitation, should the respondent have those services available.
The project details and scope of work are available HERE.
The current version of the publication is available HERE.
Proposal questions, responses, and clarifications are available HERE (updated Sept 30)
Pre-proposal meeting slides are available HERE.
