Q1. Does GCMC have a preference for Drupal 7 or 8?

A1. We are going to use Drupal 8 for the site

Q2. How does GCMC plan to host, support and maintain the Drupal website?

A2. We are looking to use Amazon Gov and we will maintain the site, for patches and updates.

Q3. Would GCMC consider a cloud hosting platform service to perform all or some of the tasks below?

A3. We are looking to use AmazonGOV for cloud resource

Q4: 1. The RFI states the site will be English and German, however, the current site is also in Russian. Is Russian being dropped in the redesign?

A4: Russian language support is being dropped

Q5: Will the vendor be expected to provide translation services for site content as part of the engagement?

A5: We have German/English staff onsite to assist with translation

Q6: The existing site seems to be primarily providing top-level menus in multi languages. What site will elements be multi-lingual in the redesign?

A6. We are looking to host in English and only the articles and news items that need to be in dual language will be translated as so, and the College will be providing the translated documents and uploading them.

Q7. Is Joomla the current CMS?

A7. Joomla is the current CMS , but this is not the application we necessarily want to use going forward

Q8. How many pages will be migrating to the new site? Google has about 8400 pages indexed, but it could be double or triple counting with the multi-lingual setup.

A8. We are not sure what we are going to bring over at this point. This will be determined at a later date.

Q9. Where is the site currently hosted? Will it stay there, or will you be seeking a new hosting solution with the redesign?

A9. Site is hosted onsite here at GCMC, but we are planning to move to cloud in AmazonGOV

Q10. Does search need to index the contents of documents hosted on the site?

A10. Yes we are looking at doing Search and Tagging for new site (Taxonomy)

Q11. Do you expect copywriting or editing services as part of engagement?

A11. The GCMC’s Public Affair’s Office will be responsible for any copyright verification
