Mike Good, City Manager THROUGH: Mark Antonio, ACM FROM: Ted LaMott, Assistant Director of I.T. SUBJECT: Website redesign RFP responses CMD 008/04 City Website BACKGROUND Seven vendors responded to the website redesign RFP. Their proposals and qualifications are discussed below to aid in developing a short list for the final selection process. DISCUSSION Six vendors responded to the website redesign RFP: 1. Civic Plus; Manhattan, KS. 2. Panther International; Clearwater, FL 3. SpeedUneed; no contact information 4. PickMe, Inc.; Ft. Lauderdale, FL 5. Quaxar; Miami, FL 6. Websolvers, Winter Park, FL 7. Computer Gear, Navarre, FL A brief analysis of each of these vendors follows: 1. CivicPlus; Manhattan, KS. Cities: Safe Harbor, Dania Beach, many others nationally Staff: 47 employees Experience: 20 years General comments: this vendor offers a content management system where the user site staff updates the website content; user site staff is also capable of developing new web pages; vendor offered a well organized project plan. Sample webpaqe: The conceptual City of Hallandale Beach web page offered a good start for the basic format; the graphic design needs improvement City website redesign RFP responses Page 2 Responses to RFP: filled out the basic deliverables and supplemented with basic sales material. Service Level Agreement (SLA): 24x7x3 hrs for website support; 24x7x365 for hosting service Hosting: Offered (cost not specified, but calculated at about $3,000 annually); service available to help client to set up the system on servers at client site. Cost: Development: $35,000 Maintenance: $9,000/yr (if hosted by CivicPlus); Hourly charges for service range from $25 to $45. Bottom Line: Offers a website administration system where content and web pages can be managed by the client; vendor appears to have extensive experience; graphic arts are not exciting (but this could be a client- controlled factor) 2. Panther International; Clearwater, FL Cities: None; Tampa Downtown Partnership is closest to a city site Staff: 2 key staff noted; no total count given Experience: 12 years; mostly with aviation and military websites General comments: Project management approach to this project; offered a well organized project plan; extensive client list (24 government websites and 50+ non-government websites); the website offers a content management system that is updated by the client. Sample webpage: not offered Responses to RFP: did not specifically answer questions/criteria of RFP; supplied general sales literature. Service Level Agreement (SLA): not specified, but I would expect it to be adequate Hosting: $258/month ($3,100 annually); vendor prefers to host the website. Cost: Development: $33,981.40 Maintenance: ala carte; $44 to $64/hour Bottom Line: This vendor has a lot of experience with non-city entities; need to better define an estimate of the on-going maintenance cost (e.g. canvass current customers); graphics are not dazzling (but this could be a client-controlled factor); this is one of the larger web design companies that responded 3. SpeedUneed; no contact information Cities: None noted Staff: None noted Experience: None noted General comments: vendor offered a contract and very little specifics Sample webpage: Very similar to the city's current webpage, but cleaner Responses to RFP: No responses to RFP Service Level Agreement (SLA): None specified Hosting: Not specified Cost: Development: $39,000 Maintenance: $125/hour CM website redesign RFP responses 072706.doc City website redesign RFP responses Page 3 Bottom Line: vendor did not properly respond to the RFP; vendor offered no information on qualifications; no contact information noted; this vendor was dropped from consideration. 4. PickMe, Inc.; Ft. Lauderdale, FL Cities: None Staff: 1 full time staff; 2 sub contractors Experience: 5 years General comments: offered other websites as examples of their work; these web pages were visually appealing and designed to draw the visitor into the website. Sample webpage: offered an interactive sample website; visually appealing; good graphic arts; layout looks logical; Responses to RFP: responded to some of the evaluation criteria Service Level Agreement (SLA): not specified Hosting: would continue to use our current website host Ameribiz Cost: Development: $36,500 Maintenance: ala carte; $40 to $75/hour, depending upon service required. Bottom Line: this vendor presented good creative graphics arts ability and presentation; no government website experience; small company with few employees; vendor would be similar to our current webmaster. 5. Quaxar; Miami, FL Cities: Sunrise Staff: 4 noted Experience: not specified General comments: websites have won awards for graphic design and layout; vendor offers a system that allows the client to update much of the online content: a home page web portal, content management system, geographic mapping, calendar, database, document management system, and website statistics; vendor offers a project plan for developing websites. Sample webpaqe: none offered Responses to RFP: responded to some criteria; mostly reused existing sales proposals Service Level Agreement (SLA): Hostin : $400/month ($4,800 annually) Cost: Development: $36,000 Maintenance: $1,000/month ($12,000 annually) Bottom Line: vendor is offering a workable project process to implement a new website; sample web pages were uninspiring (but this could be a client- controlled factor); monthly maintenance is about three times what we are paying now; interesting database content management system allows client to quickly update content. i6. Websolvers, Winter Park, FL Cities: Winter Park, Altamonte Springs CM website redesign RFP responses 072706.doc City website redesign RFP responses Page 4 Staff: 4 listed Experience: 10 years General comments: has a series of modules that are incorporated into the website: document management, job bank, news (press releases); vendor offers a reasonable project plan to develop the website; referenced websites had good to very good graphic arts with a reasonably logical layout.

Sample webpaqe: none offered Responses to RFP: basic responses to evaluation criteria Service Level Agreement (SLA): Hosting: not specified Cost: Development: $37,000 (specified 35,000 elsewhere) Maintenance: ala carte $25 to $45/hour Bottom Line: this vendor offered very little in way of a detail project plan; this vendor did not adequately respond to the RFP; this vendor was dropped from consideration.

Pick Me, Inc. is a small organization comparable to the webmaster arrangement we CM website redesign RFP responses 072706.doc City website redesign RFP responses Page 5 currently have. SpeedUneed did not submit any useful information as to their approach or prior work experience so they were eliminated from further consideration. All vendors indicated they would be able to develop the website within the budget constraints of the RFP. CivicPlus has the most experience with developing governmental websites. They offer a system with many modules to support a city's website needs (calendar, online forms, etc.). A strong benefit of their product is that city staff can directly update website content. The graphic arts of their referenced websites were average to good. Panther International appears to have very strong project management skills to be able to complete projects on time and in budget. They have a large number of clients, but limited government website experience. They did not indicate they have any ready-made modules to be used in the city's website; it appears that they would develop everything from scratch. The graphic arts from their referenced websites were judged to be average to good. Quaxar has a number of available modules that could be used in the new website (calendar, online documents, geographic mapping, etc.). Quaxar's City of Sunrise website graphic arts and format is judged to be just average; the web page layout is not very good (but this could be client controlled). Websolvers offered a well-developed website development process to help ensure the city's website project moves forward in a predictable manner. Websolvers also offers a series of modules that can be incorporated into the city's website (although fewer than CivicPlus and Quaxar). The two listed cities had home pages that are judged to be good to very good in graphic design and organization (balancing enough content against being overly complex). Pick Me, Inc. had few websites and no ready-made modules to incorporate into the new city website. This vendor would also present the least change in our current set up in that they would still work with our current website hosting service. Presumably, they would also incorporate the existing city website modules to maintain the current level of functionality (community survey, applicant tracking, Employee corner, etc.). The web pages used as references were judged to be good to very good in terms of graphic arts with the content and organization judged good. This vendor's presentation of a sample city home page was the best of all presented. Summary The priority of the business requirements of the new city website need to be confirmed. Pick Me, Inc. appeared to offer the best graphic arts presentation, with Websolvers and Panther International close behind. CivicPlus appeared to have the most complete product to allow city staff to directly maintain the website. An ideal situation would be to get the modules offered by CivicPlus with the project CM website redesign RFP responses 072706.doc City website redesign RFP responses Page 6 management talent from Panther and the graphic arts ability offered by Pick Me, Inc. Recommendations Staff recommends the City Manager review the following vendors' proposals for consideration of the redesign of the city's website: • CivicPlus • Panther International • Websolvers Staff recommends IT schedule a meeting with City Manager staff to review and make a final recommendation for the City Manager's consideration. Should you have any questions, I am available at your convenience. Reviewed: D. Mike Good, City Manager Date Approved Denied Hold for Discussion Comments: CM website redesign RFP responses 072706.doc CITY OF HALLANDALE BEACH, FLORIDA • MEMORANDUM DATE: September 22, 2006 TO: D. Mike Good, City Manager THROUGH: Mark Antonio, ACM FROM: Ted LaMott, Assistant Director of I.T. SUBJECT: Website redesign RFP vendor recommendation BACKGROUND A "short list" of three vendors was recommended to the City Manager for final review to select a vendor for the website redesign RFP. The review committee evaluated the vendor proposals and qualifications and determined the CivicPlus product and services as the best offering for this project. DISCUSSION The three "short listed" vendors were: 1. CivicPlus; Manhattan, KS. This vendor appears has extensive experience developing government .websites (over 200 government organizations). CivicPlus offers a software package system where individual pages can be customized, but ongoing updates to the content can be done directly by the client (i.e. city departments in our case). CivicPlus offers technical assistance in various areas including graphic arts to help us develop the various aspects of our website. 2. Panther International; Clearwater, FL This vendor has a lot of experience with non-city entities (military and air ports). Most web pages would be custom-made for the city website. While this would create a very customized look, it is also more expensive to create and maintain. 3. PickMe, Inc.; Ft. Lauderdale, FL This vendor presented good creative graphics arts ability and presentation, but did not have any government website experience. This is a very small company with few employees and the website technology used would be similar to our current website. All web pages would be custom-made which, again, would create a customized look for the city, it is more expensive to City website redesign RFP vendor recommendation Page 2 create and maintain. Analysis It was determined that CivicPlus had the most complete product offering with the most experience with developing governmental websites. Their system offers many modules to support a city's website needs (calendar, online forms, etc.). An extremely useful feature of their product is that city staff can directly update website content allowing quick turnaround of information. CivicPlus offers graphic arts assistance to develop a professional look for our website. Panther International and Pick Me, Inc. lacked the depth of experience of CivicPlus. Additionally, these vendors would need to develop all of the needed web pages and functionality where CivicPlus's product is ready to use. CivicPlus quote for services was the lowest responsive bid received from all RFP submissions. Recommendations Staff recommends the City Manager approve the purchase of the CivicPlus system and associated services for the city website for an amount not to exceed $50,000. Funding is available in accounts 347-2012-519-3448 ($25,000) and 347-2010-519- 3448 ($25,000). Should you have any questions, I am available at your convenience. Reviewed: D.

If Approved, Funding Is Available as Specified In the Staff Report. (Staff: Director of Information Technology) (see backup)CMD#008104 City Manager Good stated that the purpose of this contract award Is to expand the functionality of the City's website including more linkages to associated websites, ability to offer video clips, and ability to download information. Users will be able to pay for utility bills online. Currently there Is a delay involved in providing information such as the Commission agenda because staff must send the information to a third party controlling the website and request that it be added. With this improvement in functioning, staff will be able to directly provide new or updated Information. The cost for the upgrade and expansion is anticipated to be about $50,000. An additional $15,000 is recommended to add enhancements once the website has been redeveloped. Mayor Cooker asked if there is a limit on the number of webpages and/or links on the website: REGULAR AGENDA.-October 3,2006 Page 4 Ted LaMott, Director Information Technolo gy, stated there are no limitations on the amount of webpages and/ or links. The larger the website, the more storage space is needed and costs are based on the amount of storage used. The recommended contractor has done over 200 government websites and is well qualified for this project. 92-T-M15SlOner gibbons noted that the annual website maintenance costs will increase from $4,500 a year to $11.000 a year and requested additional information. _Mr_ LaMott responded that the upgraded/expanded website will require more maintenance and that the company is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to provide technical and related support.
