Request for Proposal
DEVELOPMENT & DELIVERY OF TWO EDUCATIONAL PRESENTATIONS
Project Description:
The RAiNA Education Committee is seeking a consultant to develop a two 45-55 slide intermediate-level presentation on “Designing Rainscreen Cladding Systems” and “Exterior Insulation, Materials, Technical Considerations, and Regional Differences” These presentations will be based on a detailed outline provided by the committee found in Appendix A in the RFP.
The applicant shall have demonstrated expertise in both rainscreen cladding systems and exterior insulation systems. This includes a thorough understanding of design principles, material selection, attachment methods, and integration with building envelope components. The applicant must also be knowledgeable in insulation systems such as EIFS, spray foam, and mineral wool, with a focus on thermal performance, moisture management, fire safety, and energy efficiency. Familiarity with regional building practices, climate-specific considerations, and local building codes is essential. Additionally, applicants must be well-versed in relevant industry standards, codes, and best practices governing the thermal, moisture, and structural performance of these systems. Experience developing technical presentations—with clear explanatory text and detailed drawings. An applicant with similar knowledge and experience would be considered a qualified entity for this project.
The applicant must also have experience in developing technical presentations, including the ability to clearly explain complex technical concepts, incorporate architectural graphics, and design visually engaging and informative slides.
