8. The redesign of the website will require considerable city staff time. Certainly less staff time will be required if the company <br />designing the web has experience in designing webs for cities. How fast the web is redesigned will depend to a large extent to the <br />amount of city staff time can be committed to the effort. <br />9. An effective backup and disaster recovery system should be part of the design. <br />10. Staff will need some training on site when the web is initiated <br />11. The designer of the website should host it for a monthly fee, provide timely updates and provision should be included to totally <br />redesign the site after some specified period of time, approximately 4 or 5 years. <br />12. It should be expected that the design of a new web will take 4 to 6 months. <br />13. The cost of redesigning the website will probably be between $20,000 and $40,000. <br />Hopkins spent $25,000 recently with some onsite training <br />Plymouth spent $28,000 in 2016 <br />Wayzata spent $17,000 in 2014 <br />Recommendation <br />After consideration of these parameters it is the staff recommendation that the following companies are the best qualified to be considered <br />for the redesign of the City of Orono website. <br />1. CivicPlus <br />2. Vision <br />3. Eleven <br />These are listed in preferential order. Staff recommends that the Council Communications Committee discuss how to proceed. This will be <br />a professional contract and bidding is not required. If the Committee is comfortable in accepting the staff's first choice, then the staff will <br />request a detailed proposal from the company including cost parameters to bring back to the full City Council. <br />If the Committee would like to hear presentations from one, two or three of the top companies, staff will set up the presentations at the <br />Committee's convenience. <br />
