Best Value Website Development & Maintenance

The Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) is issuing a due diligence notice of intent to accept a best value offer for website development and maintenance services. The MGC is seeking to obtain permission to post a Notice of Intent to Accept a Best Value Offer from Jack Rabbit Design (JRD) to provide technical assistance and web development services for a period of one year, with an option to renew for two additional years. The services include maintenance and occasional technical assistance to operate and maintain the MGC's websites, MassGaming.com and other related websites, at an estimated annual cost of $25,000 at a rate of $175 per hour. The intent of this notice is to determine if there are any other interested and qualified bidders that can provide comparable or better services at equal or better rates than JRD. Any interested bidders must submit evidence of their qualifications and a comparable or better offer in hard copy and electronically by October 5, 2016. The MGC will then review the submissions and decide whether to withdraw the notice, accept JRD's offer, accept an offer from another qualified bidder, or conduct a competitive procurement for these services.

The contract opportunity is limited to the jurisdiction of Suffolk County. The information provided does not indicate any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor, JRD, is currently providing the services, and the MGC is seeking to continue working with them or find a comparable or better provider. The budget for the one-year contract with the option to renew for two additional years is estimated at $25,000 annually.
