EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On September 24, 2013, the Procurement Department, in conjunction with the Communications Department, issued an RFP for qualified firms to provide web redesign services for the district’s main website.  Two firms responded and their proposals were evaluated by a committee of district and community stakeholders.  After review and discussion of the proposals, and presentations by the vendors, the committee recommended awarding to the top-ranked firm, Ospro Systems, LLC.

This project will enable the district to provide continuity within the website, update design and user protocols, and allow further enhancements that can be made by district personnel without future outsourcing.   

The initial term of this contract shall be until completion, and the expected time frame is 26 weeks from the start of the project.

Funds in the amount of $65,000 for the completed project have been budgeted in the Communications Department.
