Description

Primary

Background

The Indiana Department of Administration (IDOA), on behalf of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR), is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to gather insights for the development of a public-facing online water data portal and dashboard solution. This initiative is in response to Executive Order 25-63, signed by Governor Braun on April 21, 2025, which mandates the creation of a statewide water inventory and management plan. The order highlights the need for sustainable water resource management due to regional disparities in water supply across Indiana. The DNR aims to implement a centralized platform that provides real-time data on water resources, usage trends, and infrastructure status, thereby enhancing public awareness and resource management.

Work Details

The RFI seeks information on developing an online water data portal that integrates multiple public data sources into an easy-to-use dashboard. Key features requested include: - Incorporation of data from various publicly available sources. - Presentation of data in a dashboard format for ease of understanding. - Near real-time data availability. - Downloadable data options. - Trend analysis capabilities for water resources. - Spatial scalability within regions. - Customizability for future data sources. Respondents are encouraged to provide details on: - Recommended technical architecture. - Experience with similar public-sector or water-resource platforms. - Integration approaches for external data sources. - Hosting and maintenance options. - Cybersecurity and ADA compliance considerations. - Estimated implementation timelines and pricing structures.

Period of Performance

The RFI was issued on June 10, 2026, with responses due by July 15, 2026. The timeline for project implementation will be determined based on vendor responses and subsequent RFP development.
