q E MANAGEMENT TO ADVERTISE A REQUEST FOR
PROPOSALS FOR A QUALIFIED FIRM TO PROVIDE CITY WEBSITE
DESIGN SERVICES, PAYABLE FROM ACCOUNT NO. 16-512491
Description: It is the City's wish to redesign the site to support usual e-government transactions. The
redesigned site will have a theme promoting the City with a friendly and professional feel. Our goal 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.
Financial Impact: This service was not included in the FY 2009 Adopted Budget. However, this is a
project that we recommend in order to provide better service and information to the residents. We will
include the cost of this project in the FY 2009 Budget Amendment.
Implementation Timeline: A recommendation will be brought to the City Commission within 60 days of
advertisement.
Legislative History: None.
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval.
Analysis: The current site structure and design was developed years ago and requires significant redesign to
take advantage of new design elements and the growing demand for electronic services. The new website
will provide easy access to City services, be adaptable to current and changing technology, provide content
management capability for City Staff and be used as a public communications tool.
