The City is seeking the services of an experienced website design firm to redesign, develop, implement, and provide hosting and maintenance services for the City's website. This project will involve utilizing posted information on the existing website as well as the implementation of new information, products, and features as suggested by the City and the firm selected.
The goal of the City's website is to provide simple electronic access to public services, serve as a public communications tool, reduce transaction costs for the City and citizens, and to streamline business operations. The current site structure and design was developed several years ago and requires significant redesign to take advantage of new design elements and growing demand for electronic services. Specifically, the City would like the redesigned site to support e-government transactions such as on-line permits, on-line forms and applications, on-line payments, and a variety of other activities. Some of the desired items will be predicated on a new ERP software selection process and will not fall within the realm of this project. However; the selected company will be required to assist with the development of access to back office applications to ensure a consistent look and feel throughout the new website. The redesigned site should have a theme promoting the City with a friendly and professional atmosphere.
