Redesign of the Jefferson County Attorney's Website

The Jefferson County Attorney's Office in Jefferson County, Kentucky, issued Request for Proposal (RFP) #260184 for a complete redesign, build, and installation of a cloud-based website utilizing an easy-to-use content management system. The scope of work requires a responsive redesign of the entire online experience with seamless integration of user interface and user experience, compliance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) AA standards and Accessibility Standards for Electronic and Information Technology (EIT), support for multiple languages, and comprehensive onboarding and staff training. The Jefferson County Attorney's Office, which serves Louisville Metro Government through three divisions (Criminal with approximately 80,000 cases annually, Civil providing legal representation to over 50 metro departments, and Child Support managing approximately 42,000 active cases with annual collections exceeding $48 million), seeks qualified firms capable of delivering a modern web solution to replace the current Drupal-based website. The contract term extends for five years with potential year-to-year renewal options not to exceed a total of five years. Evaluation will be based on Cost Proposal (30 percent), Quality of Response versus System Requirements (30 percent), Company Experience and Prior Project Success (20 percent), and Timeline (20 percent). The question period runs from March 4, 2026 at 3:00 PM EST through March 25, 2026 at 3:00 PM EDT, with sealed proposals due by April 15, 2026 at 5:00 PM EDT through the Louisville Metro digital portal at https://louisvilleky.bonfirehub.com/portal. Pricing proposals are firm for six months following the RFP opening date, with no price increases permitted during the first contract year; any increases after year one require written submission to the Chief Financial Officer and County Attorney approval.

Prospective vendors must be registered with the Louisville Revenue Commission and comply with affirmative action requirements regarding employment and minority subcontracting, with the form allowing self-identification of minority-owned, women-owned, disabled-owned, LGBT-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned business designations. All proposals become County Attorney property and public records under the Kentucky Open Records Act unless materials meet specific exemption requirements, and selected vendors must maintain complete and accurate cost records for five years following final payment to allow County Attorney inspection and audit rights. The solution must comply with Louisville Metro Technology Services and Kentucky Commonwealth Office of Technology standards, with particular attention to SOC II compliance given the Child Support division's participation in the Commonwealth network. No incumbent vendor information or specific budget range has been disclosed in the RFP documentation. Proposers are required to submit a Good Faith Effort file, Vendor Information (PDF), Signature and Information Page, W-9 form, Vendor Response (PDF), and Certificate of Insurance through the Bonfire public portal, with a maximum file upload size of 1000 MB. The County Attorney reserves the right to reject any proposals, award contracts in whole or part, or award to multiple vendors based on competitive negotiation.
