Dolores County approves Sidwell website and hosting contract
Summary
Dolores County commissioners approved a three-year Sidwell contract to update and host the county website, including mapping services; first-year cost was stated as $21,535 and commissioners reviewed termination and multi-year budget implications before unanimously approving the contract.
The Dolores County Board of County Commissioners approved a three-year contract with Sidwell to update the county website, add mapping services and provide hosting and support.
Staff explained the vendor would update the county—site and deliver a refreshed website and map layer, projecting a rollout in four to six weeks. Commissioners asked about customer service and whether the system would be taken offline during migration; staff said many small counties have transitioned to Sidwell and "they're really good" on service.
Board members examined termination and budget language. Staff noted the contract is a three-year term and that, if the county terminates in years two or three, the county could be liable for remaining term payments and therefore should budget for the full term. The first-year cost in the discussion was stated as $21,535, with remaining years at lower amounts (noted but not read line-by-line during the meeting).
A commissioner moved to approve the Sidwell contract; the motion was seconded and carried with unanimous vocal approval.
The board did not amend the budget at the meeting; commissioners acknowledged the need to account for multi-year obligations if the county exercises termination rights.
