About this opportunity

Dorchester County, South Carolina is seeking qualified website development firms to create a comprehensive "Do More" tourism website through a Request for Proposals (RFP) released on December 5, 2025. The project requires designing a stand-alone, modern website that will showcase county attractions, outdoor recreation, cultural experiences, educational opportunities, and volunteer activities. Key deliverables include an interactive map with filtering capabilities, a "Build Your Own Itinerary" tool, an integrated events calendar, dedicated landing pages for Recreation, Learning, Arts, and Service categories, and an ADA-compliant design meeting WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Proposers must demonstrate comprehensive technical capabilities, including SEO optimization, analytics integration, and a user-friendly content management system. Written questions are due by December 22, 2025 at 5:00 pm, with final proposals due January 8, 2026 at 2:00 pm. The project has a 300-calendar-day completion timeline, estimated at 8-10 months, and will be evaluated using a six-criteria scoring rubric: Qualifications and Relevant Experience (20 points), Technical Approach and Methodology (20 points), Website Design Quality and User Experience (20 points), Project Schedule and Work Plan (10 points), Support and Maintenance (10 points), and Cost (20 points).

The total project budget is $30,000, which represents the maximum amount for cost proposals. The contract will include one year of post-launch technical support, hosting services with County ownership, and CMS training for staff. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation. The County reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and is not obligated to select the lowest-cost submission. The resulting contract will have an initial one-year term with options to renew for up to four additional one-year periods. Successful proposers must obtain necessary South Carolina state and local licenses, maintain general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000, and comply with the County's standard contract terms. Payment will be structured through progress billing aligned with project milestones, with invoices to be paid within thirty days of approval. The contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible proposer offering the best overall value to Dorchester County.
