Item No: 8E <br />Meeting Date: December 12, 2016 <br />Type of Business: Consent Agenda <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: James Ericson, City Administrator <br />Brian Beeman, Business Development Coordinator <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8679, a Resolution Approving an Agreement for <br />W eb Design, Development and Hosting Services from <br />Revize <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The City Council provided direction to staff to create a task force of interested residents <br />and business representatives to assist in the review of proposals received from web <br />developers. Valerie Amundsen (resident) and Jessica Rieland (EDC member) volunteered <br />to participate in the taskforce. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />The task force “interviewed” six of the twelve firms that submitted proposals in response to <br />the City’s Request for Proposals. The RFP outlined minimum City expectations and only <br />those firms who satisfied the expectations were interviewed. Some firms presented in <br />person while others were conducted online. Of the six firms who were interviewed, three <br />were determined suitable for further consideration. Since each of the three were well <br />positioned to satisfy the City’s needs and expectations, we looked at the cost and contract <br />duration. It was unanimously determined that Revize was found to offer the best product at <br />the most reasonable cost. <br /> <br />The task force presented its recommendation to the City Council at the December 5, 2016 <br />Work Session. The City Council expressed appreciation for the efforts of the task force <br />and encouraged their ongoing participation during web design and development. The <br />Council directed that staff proceed with the preparation of a resolution approving the web <br />development contract at the December 12, 2016, Council meeting. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends approval of Resolution 8679, a resolution approving an agreement with <br />Revize to design, develop and host a new City of Mounds View website consistent with the <br />City’s RFP and in accordance with their proposal dated July 20, 2016. <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br /> _______________________ _______________________ <br />James Ericson Brian Beeman
