Pre-RFPInformation TechnologyDetected May 18, 2026

At a May 11, 2026 workshop, the Mayor and Council heard a presentation from Tim Smith of Delmarva Digital about redesigning the town’s website and implementing online automation for selected forms such as business licenses. Delmarva Digital, a long-time local partner with municipal web and custom software experience, suggested a phased project in the 15000 to 20000 range to rebuild the site, add a graphical calendar, and enable features like electronic signatures and application status tracking. The town is also exploring integration with its existing Edmunds billing system, which would cost 4500 to enable online bill access plus a 500 annual fee, and plans to have the Budget Committee prioritize web phases against budget needs.This indicates open planning for a website redesign, online forms workflow, and possible payment/billing integration, offering opportunities for web vendors, civic tech providers, and integration consultants to support design, implementation, and process modernization—whether as competitors, partners, or follow-on service providers around Delmarva Digital’s proposal.

No formal procurement or contract is approved yet; a ballpark budget and potential phasing strategy are under discussion, with emphasis on automating a limited set of forms initially.

Budget Planning

The preliminary 2027 budget lists "343 Records Management" at $12,000.

Public Updates

The agenda calls for a VR performance update from the Director of Analytics and Evaluation and the VRGIS team manager. This is a status report, but it signals continued use of analytics and geographic information systems (GIS) support inside the VR program. A seller would use this to track whether data, reporting, or performance tooling needs are expanding.

Contract Admin

The guide states all full-time non-exempt employees will be on a 40-hour work week documented through the TrueTime software program unless their assignment is for fewer hours. That means Temple ISD had already selected and was using TrueTime for workforce timekeeping as of the October 28, 2026 guide revision. This is useful follow-on intelligence for vendors tied to payroll integration, workforce management, and time-clock support, with administration and payroll as likely owners.
