A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR WEBSITE DESIGN AND HOSTING TO GRANICUS, LLC.
Body
Summary and Background Information:
The current City website and intranet platform provides a critical gateway to resources and communication for residents, businesses, and staff. While the City continues to grow, a more robust, user friendly and scalable website platform is needed to meet the needs of the community. City staff completed an RFP for vendors to support the installation, configuration, hosting, and administration of a new Commerce City website. Specifically, the City was looking for a website vendor that will meet State and Federal accessibility requirements and be able to continuously evolve along with the City and meet the needs of the City as it expands. The new website platform will integrate with other applications the City uses to create a better user experience for the community and staff.
The costs for this project are included in the current IT budget.
The current tentative schedule is to kick-off the project the week of August 1, 2024 and have the new system in place by July 1, 2025. The City has conducted an RFP process in accordance with the City’s procurement policy.
