Bids for Website Provider

Breitung Township Schools has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a comprehensive website and communication system targeting district-wide digital transformation. The procurement seeks an integrated digital platform that will include separate landing pages for the district main site and three specific schools: Kingsford High School, Kingsford Middle School, and Woodland Elementary. Key deliverables include a cloud-based content management system, mobile applications for public and staff access, multi-channel communication tools, and full ADA compliance. Evaluation criteria will focus on scope alignment, cost-effectiveness, user-friendliness, mobile app quality, vendor support offerings, and overall vendor experience. The proposal submission deadline is set for Friday, May 2, 2025, with vendors required to provide comprehensive documentation including company overview, detailed project approach, migration strategy, technical specifications, training and support details, professional references, and a comprehensive cost proposal covering both 3-year and 5-year total cost scenarios.

The RFP does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or specific restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The communication system must support multi-channel communication capabilities including email, SMS, voice, and app notifications, with robust role-based permissions and two-way communication functionality. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with student privacy laws such as FERPA and COPPA, and provide proof of insurance with minimum aggregate limits of $1 million for personal injuries and bodily harm. Additionally, respondents are required to complete supplemental forms including a Familial Disclosure Form and an Iran Economic Sanctions Act Certification. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed in the available documentation, the comprehensive nature of the RFP suggests a significant technology investment for a full-scale district communication and website platform implementation.
