Housing board awards website contract to Visionary Graphics, contract about $7,800; work to begin after signing
Summary
The Block Island Housing Board approved a contract with Visionary Graphics to build the board’s website for about $7,800, subject to change orders; the contractor has provided insurance and will start work after signatures and minor town compliance items are resolved.
The Block Island Housing Board reviewed bids and awarded the website contract to Visionary Graphics. Chris, a staff member, said the contractor provided a certificate of insurance and a mutually agreed statement of work, and would begin work after the contract is signed.
Chris told the board the base contract is about $7,800 and the final price could increase for change orders such as adding credit-card processing. He also told the board the vendor agreed to the town’s requirement that any project email use a town-hosted address rather than a personal Gmail account.
Board members discussed annual compliance and maintenance costs; staff estimated roughly $500–$600 a year for plugin and ADA maintenance. The board moved to award the contract; the motion passed (contract will be signed and work will commence thereafter).
Ending: Board staff will finalize contract signatures, set up a town email for the housing board, and coordinate with the vendor on the statement of work and any needed change orders.
