About this file

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This is an Appendix H technical specification document for the City of Dallas's Animal Shelter Software/Application contract opportunity, establishing web accessibility and development requirements for the five-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity service agreement. The City mandates compliance with Section 508 and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 standards to ensure websites and applications are accessible to users with disabilities including blindness, low vision, deafness, hearing loss, learning disabilities, cognitive limitations, limited movement, speech disabilities, and photosensitivity. The technical specifications require HTML5 for content structure, CSS3 maintained in separate documents for presentation and styling, and JavaScript maintained separately for dynamic element control, with approved frameworks including Bootstrap for CSS and Angular for JavaScript, as well as jQuery libraries.

The appendix emphasizes that the City prioritizes user experience (UX) design focusing on understanding user needs, abilities, and limitations while achieving business objectives. Prospective vendors must design solutions incorporating user interface design, content and language considerations, and user interaction principles that align with industry standards. All web development must maintain proper separation of concerns between HTML content, CSS styling, and JavaScript functionality to ensure maintainability, accessibility compliance, and optimal user experience across the animal shelter software application.

Appendix H - Web Accessibility and Development

Web Accessibility

The City makes every possible effort to make sure its websites and applications are accessible to everyone. Our goal is to make content accessible to a wide range of people with disabilities, including blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, learning disabilities, cognitive limitations, limited movement, speech disabilities, photosensitivity, and combinations of these.

We adhere to two standards, Section 508 and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2)., to ensure these requirements are met.

Section 508: https://www.section508.gov/

Section 508 requires Federal departments and agencies that develop, procure, maintain, or use Information and Communication Technology to assure that these technologies provide access to information and data for people with disabilities.

WCAG 2.1: https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/

Web Content Accessibility Guideline (WCAG) 2.1covers a wide range of recommendations for making web content more accessible.

Web Development & User Experience

The City focuses on the user experience of its users and strives to achieve solutions which serve their needs. We utilize industry standards to ensure that all users are able to achieve their desired goal.

User Experience (UX)

UX focuses on having a deep understanding of users, what they need, what they value, their abilities, and their limitations. It also considers the business goals and objectives of the group managing the project. UX best practices promote improving the quality of the user’s interaction with and perceptions of your product and any related services. User Interface Design, Content & Language, and User Interaction are among several components that should be accounted for.

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)

HTML is the language for describing the content of web pages, including heading, lists, and images. It should not include Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript but should instead reference external resources. Version: HTML5

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) CSS is the language for describing the presentation of web pages, including colors, layout, and fonts. CSS should be used to control the layout and overall style of any websites and web https://www.section508.gov/ https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/ applications. CSS should be maintained in a separate document if possible. Version: CSS3.

Frameworks: “Bootstrap”

“JavaScript”

JavaScript is a scripting language of web pages and is used to dynamically control elements.

JavaScript should be maintained in a separate document if possible. Frameworks: Angular.

Libraries: JQuery
