About this file

This is Amendment Number 1 to Request for Proposals 26-33-04 issued by the State of Alaska Division of Legislative Audit (DLA) for Marketing and Media Services. The amendment, issued on March 20, 2026, addresses clarifications and responses to seven questions submitted by potential offerors regarding the scope of work. Key clarifications include that DLA has already conducted a WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility scan of its website with scores of 85.4 (Legislative Audit) and 86.2 (Legislative Budget and Audit Committee), and the contractor must demonstrate that website upgrades enable compliance with WCAG Version 2.1 Level AA requirements. DLA does not have existing brand guidelines, style guides, or color palettes but does possess a logo file. The agency currently uses MailerLite for email distribution to non-state addresses and Microsoft Outlook for government email addresses. Training on ADA-compliant document conversion may be delivered either in-person in Juneau or remotely at the contractor's discretion. Existing InDesign reports will be used as practice materials for the conversion training, and reports archived as of April 23, 2026 will not require conversion. The proposal submission deadline remains 2:00 p.m. Alaska Time on April 7, 2026, with all proposals and signed amendments required for consideration.

No budget cap or target budget range has been established for this contract. Prior work examples may be submitted as separate documents and are not subject to the two-page limit for the Experience and Qualifications section. No overall page limit exists for the technical proposal; offerors should refer to section 6.01 of the original RFP for submission requirements. All other terms and conditions of RFP 26-33-04 remain unchanged. Prospective offerors must sign and return the amendment along with their proposals to be considered responsive.

i. Will DLA provide an existing accessibility audit of the current websites, or is the contractor expected to conduct a full WCAG 2.1 Level AA audit as part of this scope?

Response: DLA has conducted a WCAG AA scan of its website using siteimprove.com and its accessibility score is 85.4 (Legislative Audit) and 86.2 (Legislative Budget and Audit Committee). The contractor is expected to be able to demonstrate that website upgrades enable the website to comply with WCAG Version 2.1 Level AA requirements.

iii. What email platform or distribution system does DLA currently use to send press releases and audit announcements?

Response: Currently, mailerlite is used for press releases, recruitment notifications, and audit announcements that are sent to non-state government email addresses. Internal Microsoft outlook is used to send notifications to government email addresses.

Response: Either method is acceptable.

v. Approximately how many InDesign reports are currently posted to the DLA webpage and would need to be addressed during the conversion training?

We intend to archive reports that were available via the website as of April 23, 2026 and will not be converting those documents. As a training tool, existing reports created with InDesign are expected to be used to “practice” converting InDesign reports to an ADA web-compliant format.

Response: A budget has not been set for this project.

vii. The RFP requires at least three examples of prior work similar to the deliverables. Are these examples counted within the two-page limit for the Experience and Qualifications section, or should they be submitted as a separate attachment?

Response: The examples may be attached as a separate document or as separate documents.
