National Park Service

Description

The objective of this Task Agreement is to produce and distribute an American Sign Language video translation of the Alcatraz Cell House Audio Tour, which is circulated on handheld video players. Approximately 1.6 million visitors travel to Alcatraz Island every year with a vast majority of them using the Cell House Audio Tour. In 2013, the GGNRA Accessibility Coordinator accommodated over 60 requests for an American Sign Language translator. Furthermore, those that require a translator must do so online, five days in advance. This Task Agreement will better serve the public by allowing those who require such a service to navigate independently and without the inconvenience of making advance reservations. The GGNPC has exclusive rights to distribute the Alcatraz Cell House Audio Tour for the NPS and owns the intellectual property of the content they provide for its production (script, interviews with former guards and inmates, etc.). Antenna International produces the Cell House Audio Tour as the sole provider under contract with the GGNPC and retains ownership of intellectual property for any components they provided to the production (music, sound effects, etc.).
