VGBN Seeks Web Designer
The Vermont Green Building Network is excited to [publically] distribute the RFP below for a complete redesign of the VGBN.org web site.
The RFP is written to solicit responses from a broad range of web site design and implementation service providers, and as such includes questions oriented toward the entire spectrum of providers from small to large. VGBN is open to working with with any size provider provided they meet our needs and qualifications. Aspects of this RFP are negotiable, but we needed a place to start and so decided to start with the most comprehensive view.
Proposals are due April 17, 2009. Please feel free to ask any questions of me, Tom Good, and I will try to provide and distribute the answers we give to
all invited and known respondents [in the form of Addendum posted below]. We have invited 8 firms to respond, and will also post information on our web site [for other firms interested in submitting a proposal]. VGBN has budgeted a substantial, but confidential amount [revised by addendum below], of funds for this project. I look forward to your questions, comments, and suggestions.
