REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS for a Drupal Website Design Services

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS - for a Drupal Website and Website Design Services

I. Project Summary

The Amherst Town Library is seeking a website developer to create a content management system using Drupal that will expand library web services to meet the needs of the public and improve our information and service delivery processes. The solution will add innovative functionality to Amherst Town Library website as well as improve the capability to contribute rich content to the site on an ongoing basis.

II. About the Amherst Town Library

Since 1892 the Amherst Town Library has served the needs of the residents of Amherst, New Hampshire. Amherst is a quiet community located in southern New Hampshire's Souhegan Valley. With a population of approximately 12,000 residents and a land area of nearly 35 square miles, it is a growing suburban community with a long and rich colonial history. The community prides itself on preserving its many desirable historic and rural characteristics. The Amherst Town Library sits in the heart of Amherst village, an area well known for its history and beauty.

The Amherst Town Library is committed to providing quality, professional, and innovative service combined with a personal touch that contributes to the overall the quality of life for the community. The Amherst Town Library has been noted as one of the top five public libraries in NH. It serves approximately 6,000 cardholders and maintains a collection of over 70,000 items, including printed books, audiobooks, music, videos, DVDs, magazine and newspaper subscriptions. Our extensive selection of electronic resources includes general and specialized subscription databases, a directory of suggested websites, downloadable audiobooks and eBooks, and the library catalog.

The library regularly holds programs and special events for children, adults, teenagers, and families. A listing of programs is maintained on our online calendar of events, departmental blogs, and published in a biweekly email newsletter. The library is governed by a ten member Board of Library Trustees and employs twenty staff members.

III. Purpose

The Library’s current website (http://www.amherst.lib.nh.us) is maintained using outdated software that limits both staff contribution and website functionality. The site lacks visual appeal and does not convey the level of professionalism we desire. Presently, the site is cluttered and visitors do not always find what they are looking for. Our current web presence includes the main site (maintained with Macromedia MX), blogs (using Blogger), the library catalog (powered by Polaris), links to vendor databases and e-content, an event calendar, museum pass and meeting room reservation system (using Library Insight), photos (on Flickr), a Facebook page, and limited e-commerce (using Paypal).

With a new website, the library seeks to enhance the site’s visual appeal, improve capability for content creators to contribute to the site, streamline navigation and structure for easier content discovery, and enhance functionality to integrate with both established and emerging web services and social media sites.

The selected provider will be responsible for:

4. Dynamic site index
5. Staff directories
6. The ability to post current topics on the home page

13. A web browser accessible HTML interface for users who choose to edit the HTML code directly.
14. Web browser accessible administrative controls that enable administrative staff to allow and disallow content management functions based upon user or group identification
 
D. The inclusion of the following optional features and functionalities:
 
1. Brand Identity/Logo Design
2. Library Insight Features
3. Page archival and versioning that will allow CMS users to retrieve older versions of web pages for publishing back to the website
 
E. The training of three staff members for administrative management of the system
F. A minimum of one year of maintenance and technical support.

V. Schedule
 
Proposals due: May 24, 2013.
Contract award: June 15, 2013.
Public site launch: September 20, 2013.

Background

The HEA comprises the four municipalities of Midland, Penetanguishene Tay and Tiny. The
Alliance was formed in 2011 to pool both resources and efforts to strengthen the capacity of the area to develop and deliver a comprehensive and strategic economic development
program.

The Vision Statement of the HEA:

By 2020, Huronia will become a well balanced open community linked closely to the Georgian Bay waterfront and economically founded upon education-led innovative industrial base, a world class (four season) tourism experience and health care services.

Areas of effort are currently focused on building community capacity in: education,
manufacturing, tourism, healthcare and agriculture-bioscience.

The HEA applied for and received a Provincial Grant for the branding and redesign of the
organization’s website www.investhuronia.ca . The website is currently hosted by Simcoe
County and is seen as the critical component of the HEA’s economic development
strategy/program to build awareness, promote business opportunities and brand the greater community as a location for the retention and attraction of business.

current website, enhance and create the required content and links to support a fully
functioning economic development website.
