Merrimac Light asks whether full website rebuild is required for ADA compliance; vendor offers demo
Summary
Merrimac Light Department asked the commission’s contracted reviewer whether it must rebuild its entire website to meet ADA requirements; the website team at sparkcreative offered to make a single‑page demonstration of the proposed changes.
Merrimac Light Department queried the commission’s contracted reviewer on whether the utility must rebuild its entire website to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, according to the Feb. 5 minutes of the Merrimac Commission on Disability.
The minutes record that the Institute for Human Design (the record uses the acronym “IHCD”) had signed a proposal for an ADA website review. Merrimac Light emailed IHCD asking whether a full site rebuild was necessary; the website team at sparkcreative offered to produce a single‑page demonstration showing the practical impact of any accessibility changes.
The minutes do not record a vote or a formal staff assignment; they note the exchange in the meeting materials and attach the related email. No timeline or cost estimate for a full rebuild or the demo is recorded in the minutes.
