COA – Developer Wants to Crowdsource Government RFP – OpenAustin.org
Member of Austin’s tech scene, including its numerous web design shops, were angered by the news of a non-local firm getting the contract, and packed a city meeting to pressure the city council to halt the plan. The contract was subsequently postponed for a month to give the city time to reevaluate its options. With the web site contract in limbo, Hurley contacted the folks at IdeaScale and on Monday will place the request for proposal (RFP) for the City of Austin web site online. His goal is to let the community and developers build out the site to the RFP’s specs.
