DESCRIPTION

The agency is seeking a vendor to provide web design, hosting, and content management services for the Evergreen State Fair and Paine Field Airport. The solution must deliver a modern, mobile-first, accessible, secure, and revenue-focused web presence that supports seasonal campaigns, real-time updates, ticket sales, travel promotion, conversion-focused design, and high-impact calls to action.

The proposed CMS must accommodate users with varying technical skill levels and streamline content uploads through features such as automatic image resizing and optimization, simplified publishing workflows, scheduled promotions, emergency notices, staging and sandbox environments, staff SSO or identity-provider integration, role-based permissions, backups, web application firewall protection, and uptime suitable for peak periods. The design and templates must meet WCAG 2.2 AA requirements.

The engagement includes inventorying and migrating in-scope pages and documents, remediating content for plain language and accessibility, and providing limited UX writing for ticketing, parking, airline, concessions, and wayfinding information. The vendor must configure and verify revenue-critical integrations, including ticketing and e-commerce, events and calendars, airline and flight information, parking availability and payments, concessions and tenant listings, GIS and wayfinding maps, site search, email and SMS subscriptions, alerts, and social media embeds. Required third-party licenses must also be identified. The contract term will be five years, and all questions must be submitted by September 11, 2026.
