Title
Approve CivicPlus Website Redesign Contract
Purpose/Background:
PURPOSE
The purpose of this item is to get council approval on the attached CivicPlus Website Redesign Contract documents. There are two Statement of Work documents (attached). Statement of Work #1 (SOW #1) details the development and integration of the CivicEngage software, which is the base functionality included from the Request for Proposal (RFP). As discussed during the RFP process, and with the City Council on (06/27/2017), city staff further investigated the CivicRec module, which expands the capabilities of event registration and facility management. The cost and outline of features are included in SOW #1. Features are also noted in the Proposal document. After having the software demonstrated for key staff members, we believe the software to be of great value to the City. Also, after some discussion with staff and other CivicRec customers, we are adding training consultation time specifically for the CivicRec implementation (see Statement of Work #2).
BACKGROUND
This case was reviewed by the Council on 06/27/2017, at which time the Council viewed the results for the RFP, staff's recommendation (Civic Plus), and viewed a demo of the Civic Plus product. Generally, the Council was supportive of bringing back a contract for approval. Staff has notified the contractor (Civic Plus) an additional checkpoint with the Ramsey City Council is needed before the project goes too far (i.e. the Council would like to confirm the scoping). Civic Plus has agreed to review "gray scale/ draft" website with the Council before the finalize the design. At that time, changes can easily be made. However, at that time, a better picture of the website scope will be available to share. Staff is hoping to have the new website completed by winter 2017-2018.
Please see 06/27 CCWS case for details on the Civic Plus proposal/ the website RFP.
