Emilia Teasdale is reporting in The Columbia Paper the town of Kinderhook is once again looking for a web designer to upgrade its website. The Kinderhook Town Board okayed the issuance of a new request for proposals last week. The board agreed in April to award the contract to Wisconsin-baesd Town Web Designs, but negotiations fell through over payments. Former board member Peter Bujanow said the company wanted the town to pay upfront costs, which Bujanow said was a not permissible under state rules. The plan is to have a new vendor hired by September. A community member asked during the public comment period if the board planned to post the RFP on the town's existing website. Bujanow said contact information would be provided on the site so that people could pick up a copy of the RFP in person, but he said the document was “voluminous” and there would be addenda. He said the town would also like to know who is looking at the RFP. The only way to keep track of that would be to have the public contact the office. Read the full story in The Columbia Paper.
