DESCRIPTION

A government authority in Detroit, Michigan seeks a qualified vendor to provide comprehensive digital accessibility assessment, validation, remediation guidance, training, and optional support services. The engagement will help evaluate the accessibility of digital assets and strengthen the agency’s internal accessibility practices and governance.

The work includes reviewing the agency’s accessibility program, methodology, governance approach, internal checklists, and review procedures for maps, applications, dashboards, and data visualizations. The vendor will also review the digital asset inventory and recommend a practical sampling plan covering interactive maps, data visualizations, dashboards, ArcGIS Hub sites, StoryMaps, data portals, and related mapping tools.

The selected vendor will conduct expert testing of representative digital assets, including manual keyboard-only navigation, screen reader compatibility, focus order, and visible focus. The vendor will prepare a written gap analysis and prioritized, risk-based remediation roadmap identifying improvements that can be handled internally, those requiring vendor assistance, and those needing additional planning or resources. Training and knowledge transfer will also be provided to improve the agency’s internal accessibility capabilities. Questions are due by August 31, 2026.
