Bidding is part of our [[GVCS Parallel Development Strategy]]. The [[GVCS Resource Development Strategy]] involves the goal of $2.4M raised by year-end 2012, which will be disbursed as it becomes available to [[Subject Matter Experts]] doing the actual development work. The process for disbursement involves this GVCS Bid Proposal - which should be solicited from 3 sources. These bids are reviewed by the [[Technical Review Team]], which makes unanimous decisions on the best bidder. The Bid Proposal should be filled out to make a compelling case to the [[Technical Review Team]], with as much supporting information as possible to make a compelling case. Bidders should follow [[OSE Specifications]] as much as possible - focusing on lifetime design, modularity, design-for-disassembly, desing-for-manufacturability with a basic [[Open Source Fab Lab]]. Bidders are expected to work with a corresponding Project Manager (see [[Project Manager Duties]]) on their project, and disbursement shall occur as decided mutually between the [[Technical Review Team]].

CAD and CAM files, technology specifications, and the instructional video should be of quality sufficient for successful replication by skilled individuals.

Compile and publish Instructional Template: Design Rationale, Conceptual Diagram, Bill of Materials (with weblinks to sources), Demo Video, Demo Photos, Instructional Video (A to Z on the fabrication), 3d CAD file (metal fabrication), 2d fabrication drawings (metal), 2d electronics design file to build circuit boards, wiring diagram, Machine-readable CAM files, 2d Exploded Part Diagram, Computer Software Control Code for Automated Devices, Hydraulic Circuit Diagram, Calculations (for scaling purposes), Fabrication Ergonomics (time, workflow, body positions, workshop orientation, best practices of fabrication methods)
24. Compile and publish User Manual Template: How it Works, Operation Procedures, Safety, Maintenance, Troubleshooting, Repair
25. Fabrication Ergonomics documentation. To promote economically-significant replication and production of a given technology, the ergonomics (time and energy requirements) of fabrication should be documented as a function of available production infrastructure.
26. Fabrication Optimization - Update Fabrication Ergonomics Instructions on wiki based on new tool availability and technical insights. The fabrication procedure should be evolved to the most efficient possible for a given infrastructure. The fabrication infrastructure itself should evolve. Fabrication ergonomics may improve through computer assist (CNC) and automation, with an intended goal that production quality and cost in an on-demand, flexible fabrication facility rivals that of centralized production.
27. Open Enterprise Model published for production of technology. We are interested in distributive economics, so publishing documentation for enterprise replication is an inherent part of our post-scarcity creation strategy.
28. Open Enterprise Model published for related enterprise. Related enterprises are those which are not the production of a given technology, but the production of the products of a given technology. For example, for the CEB press, related enterprise may be construction services or the selling of bricks as building materials.
29. User Network development. An internet user group and local user groups should be created for support in using and developing a given technology.
30. Additional Videos published to User Network- Tips and Tricks, User-Generated Videos
31. Augmented Reality training materials prepared for fabricator training.

Introduction

Bidding is part of our GVCS Parallel Development Strategy. The GVCS Resource Development Strategy involves the goal of $2.4M raised by year-end 2012, which will be disbursed as it becomes available to Subject Matter Experts doing the actual development work. The process for disbursement involves this GVCS Bid Proposal - which should be solicited from 3 sources. These bids are reviewed by the Technical Review Team, which makes unanimous decisions on the best bidder. The Bid Proposal should be filled out to make a compelling case to the Technical Review Team, with as much supporting information as possible to make a compelling case. Bidders should follow OSE Specifications as much as possible - focusing on lifetime design, modularity, design-for-disassembly, desing-for-manufacturability with a basic Open Source Fab Lab. Bidders are expected to work with a corresponding Project Manager (see Project Manager Duties) on their project, and disbursement shall occur as decided mutually between the Technical Review Team. Bidders must also allow for the presence of a video and documentation team during any part of the development process. Upon acceptance of the bid, a contract is drawn up.
