The City of Norfolk has issued an RFP for branding, image-building and visitation strategies on an as-needed basis for its Nauticus interactive science and technology center.
Nauticus explores naval and economic power of the sea. It's home of the Battleship Wisconsin, US Navy-operated Hampton Roads Naval Museum, traveling exhibits, sharks and a giant screen for HD films.
The Virginia city hosts Naval Station Norfolk, which supports forces in the US Fleet Forces Command covering military activity in the Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean and Indian Ocean.
Currently, Nauticus is featuring "Guns, Sweat, and Gears: Anatomy of a Battleship" to showcase guns, equipment and crew mementos from the Wisconsin.
Norfolk is looking for a local marketing firm with a "intimate understanding of the unique marketing and advertising environment of a metropolitan museum."
The contract will be for one base year with three one-year renewal options.
The RFP closes Oct. 22.
Danny Hawk, of the city's Office of the Purchasing Agent, is handling the proposal.
