I. Introduction Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is the nation’s nuclear energy research and development laboratory operated by Battelle Energy Alliance (BEA) and dedicated to supporting the United States Department of Energy's (DOE’s) missions in nuclear and energy research, science, and national defense. INL currently hosts INL.gov which is the main, external, public-facing web presence for the national laboratory. II. Background The current INL website is outdated, and we are beginning the development of a new website with improved navigation, refreshed content, and a more modern look. INL’s Communications directorate has an experienced team in place to develop messaging, visuals, and overall web content. The objective of this scope is to develop a solution that leverages an existing content management platform such as Word Press or Drupal to meet the following needs: Deployment via dev-ops into a containerized environment or cloud platform host that allows for scaling to multiple deployments. Self-management of content, with role-based access controls, including but not limited to, content creators, sub-content editor, approvers, quality control, and search-engine managers. An optimized, responsive user experience that ensures efficient delivery with fast load times. A custom theme with appropriate building blocks to create a consistent experience across widely varying content and content creators. Developed and delivered consistent with policies, procedures, and other needs of the INL Information Management and Cyber Security groups. Commodity work approach that does not re-invent the web or create "dancing bear-ware." The website should be about educating the public on our missions, not about promoting the creator of the website. With this Expression of Interest (EOI), BEA is narrowing down the solicitation list for a formal Request for Proposal.
