Board approves CivicPlus contract amendment to add AudioEye and DocAccess accessibility tools
Summary
Danbury City authorized an amendment to its CivicPlus website contract to add AudioEye and DocAccess accessibility solutions, with prorated and annual costs listed; staff said the work responds to federal accessibility guidance and full implementation may take months.
The Board of Awards on Feb. 11 authorized a contract amendment to the city's existing CivicPlus website system to add AudioEye and DocAccess accessibility solutions.
Purchasing staff reported prorated and annual costs in the record: AudioEye prorated at $250 with an annual renewal cost listed at $2,500, and DocAccess prorated at $5,429.24 with an annual renewal of $16,243. Staff said the additions are intended to improve website and document accessibility and help the city meet federal accessibility guidelines. A presenter noted CivicPlus already was making some changes but that full implementation of the main site could take roughly eight months; the DocAccess module was identified as central to bringing legacy PDFs into compliance.
A motion to award the contract amendment was made, seconded and approved unanimously.
