The Olympic Authority is currently inviting proposals for comprehensive Web Development and Maintenance Services. This initiative encompasses all Olympic Authority venue websites, including but not limited to the main Olympic Authority Corporate Website (www.orda.org), the Lake Placid Legacy Sites (www.lakeplacidlegacysites.com), Whiteface Mountain, Mt. Van Hoevenberg, the Olympic Jumping Complex, the Olympic Center, Gore Mountain, and Belleayre Mountain.

The Olympic Authority is limiting this solicitation to certified WBEs, MBEs, and/or MWBEs as Contractors to the awarded Agreement.

We are seeking a highly qualified team, firm, or agency that specializes in Website and Digital Development, Hosting, Maintenance, and digital problem-solving. The selected Contractor will be required to collaborate closely with the Olympic Authority, functioning as an extension of our internal team. Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to, website project assistance, UX/UI design, development builds, maintaining a responsive website design, daily maintenance, onsite search engine optimization, and ensuring website accessibility. The ideal candidate should be capable of delivering high-quality work within tight deadlines and have a deep understanding of the Olympic Authority’s mission and values.

A critical component of this project is the evaluation of the current Olympic Authority venue websites. The scope involves conceptualizing and developing a unified Content Management System (CMS) for all Olympic Authority websites, implementing software for cross-website communication and content sharing (such as event calendars, pricing updates, openings/closures, etc.), integrating current and future software, and providing training for website administrators on best practices. Additionally, this project aims to assist the Olympic Authority's digital team in creating an organized website administration structure across the organization.

Terms and conditions of the Agreement will be mutually agreed upon by both parties before the finalization of the contract. Interested Offerors should possess the capacity to execute projects in alignment with the Olympic Authority’s strategic objectives and within specified timelines.
