GIS Colorado Request for Proposals – Website Development and Maintenance
RFP Issued: September 13, 2013
Proposals Due: November 4, 2013 by 5pm Mountain Time
Contact Information: admin@giscolorado.com with the Subject being “GISCO Website RFP”
DESCRIPTION
GIS Colorado is a non-profit organization represented by members of the GIS community throughout Colorado. The organization started as a group of GIS professionals wishing to help each other to better use GIS technology. With the rapid growth of GIS nationwide, Colorado’s GIS community has exploded. Therefore, GIS Colorado has grown to do much more. Besides maintaining a resource directory of GIS users throughout the state, we also host a very popular listserv where GIS professionals can ask thousands of users for assistance or advice. And, GIS Colorado acts as a unified industry advocate for GIS at the state and federal levels. Our current website is http://giscolorado.com/
GIS Colorado is in need of a website redesign that can support the organization and our members. It must be able to be managed by a non-profit volunteer organization over the years. The previous website was created in Joomla which the organization was not able to manage effectively and was shut down. The new website must be easier to manage with limited and rotating staff and be able to support the essential components listed in Section 2.
