Drupal 9 Website Upgrade for Surrey Libraries

​​​​​​REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
INTRODUCTION
Through this Request for Proposals (the “RFP”), the City of Surrey (the “City”) is seeking proposals from proponents (each a “Proponent”) to perform the services described in Schedule A – Specifications of Goods and Scope of Services (the “Goods and Services”).  That schedule, with such modifications as may be agreed between the City and the successful Proponent(s), will be incorporated into the contract between the City and the successful Proponent(s).

SCOPE OF SERVICES
The Surrey Libraries website, surreylibraries.ca, has recorded over 8.5 million pageviews and 2.5 million unique visitors during the past five years.

A steady increase in usage from 2016 to 2019 paralleled City growth. Our page views and visits saw a decline in 2020, but a recovery in 2021. A new community-oriented strategy is scheduled to begin in 2022 that we anticipate will increase web traffic back to pre-pandemic numbers and continuing growth alongside projected population increases. Our vision of a literate, inclusive, thriving city is supported by the information and services that Surrey citizens can access through the library website.

INFORMATION MEETING
An information meeting will be hosted by the City Representative to discuss the City’s requirements under this RFP (the “Information Meeting”).  While attendance is at the discretion of Proponents, Proponents who do not attend will be deemed to have attended the Information Meeting and to have received all of the information given at the Information Meeting.  At the time of issuance of this RFP a meeting has been scheduled as follows:

When:             February 3, 2022

Where:            Video/Phone Conference – Microsoft Teams Meeting

Proponents interested in participating in this Information Meeting should email their requests to purchasing@surrey.ca before February 2 at 3:00pm

Time:              10:00 a.m. local time

ADDENDA
If the City determines that an amendment is required to this RFQ, the City Representative will issue a written addendum by posting it on the BC Bid Website at www.bcbid.gov.bc.ca and the City Website at www.surrey.ca (collectively, the “Websites”), and upon posting, any addenda will form part of this RFQ. It is the responsibility of Contractors to check the Websites for addenda. The only way this RFQ may be added to, or amended in any way, is by a formal written addendum. No other communication, whether written or oral, from any person will affect or modify the terms of this RFQ or may be relied upon by any Contractor. By delivery of a Quotation, the Contractor is deemed to have received, accepted and understood the entire RFQ, including any and all addenda.
