Pre-RFPInformation TechnologyDetected Jun 1, 2026

The city clerk reported that ADA compliance requirements for governmental websites and social media were presented at the State’s 2026 Budget Workshop, and that a city the size of Glen Elder must comply by April 26, 2028. In response, the council directed the clerk to obtain bids from website developers, signaling the start of a website redesign or overhaul procurement focused on accessibility. No vendor has been selected and there is ample lead time, so the city is in early planning and market-sounding mode.This creates an opportunity for web development and digital accessibility firms to educate the city on ADA-compliant design, content management, hosting, and ongoing support, and to position themselves ahead of formal quotes or an RFP.

Clerk was explicitly asked to obtain bids from website developers; scope likely includes website and potentially social media accessibility support.
