Website Redesign, Migration, and Maintenance Services

The Colorado Charter School Institute (CSI), a state agency operating under Denver County and Denver City jurisdictions, is procuring Website Redesign, Migration, and Maintenance Services through a Documented Quote (DQ-DACA-2026000432) solicitation. The project encompasses the consolidation of CSI's two separate websites—a primary public-facing site and a secondary resource-focused site serving CSI-authorized schools and district-authorized schools—into a unified digital platform. The seven-phase scope includes discovery and project initiation, website design utilizing template-based approaches, content migration (with options for contractor-led, shared, or CSI-led approaches), testing and quality assurance, staff training, and ongoing maintenance and support through June 30, 2027. Key deliverables must comply with Colorado accessibility standards and WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirements, and respondents must demonstrate proven experience working with at least one Colorado state agency, school district, or Board of Cooperative Educational Services on similar website design, development, or migration projects. Required qualifications include acceptance of Colorado state purchase order terms and conditions, submission of at least two references preferably from Colorado public sector organizations, and completion of a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template documenting platform compliance. The solicitation was published April 16, 2026, with a written inquiry deadline of April 23, 2026, and a quote submission deadline of May 1, 2026 at 5:00 PM MT; award notification is anticipated for May 8, 2026, with a desired contract start date of June 1, 2026.

The solicitation documentation does not identify specific set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to particular organization types or disadvantaged enterprises; the opportunity appears open to all qualified vendors capable of meeting the mandatory requirements. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are referenced in the available documentation. The State reserves the right to award to multiple respondents if determined to be in its best interest and may negotiate with respondents to clarify quotes or effect modifications, though requirements identified in the solicitation cannot be negotiated. Pricing must remain firm during the initial contract term and must be competitive and consistent with the State's fiscal conservation efforts, with all costs including travel, training materials, shipping, installation, and administrative overhead to be included in submitted pricing tables. The contract structure encompasses one-time project costs for design, migration, testing, training, and launch support, plus annual recurring costs for maintenance, hosting, and licensing subscriptions, with pricing organized by content migration approach; however, specific budget ranges or estimated award values are not disclosed in the solicitation documents.
