RE: Kalispell City Airport Web Site (4)Erika:
I can see that cost is not going to be the problem since we will have
several thousand dollars to do our part of the website upgrade. In our
meeting yesterday with Stelling Engineers we agreed that our IT
department or the County IT department will invoice Stelling Engineers
for the upgrade to the Airport Website. Stelling will be using FAA
grant funds to pay for the work on the airport website upgrade. All we
need to do is make sure the upgrade meets the upgrade in the Scope of
Work in the grant. We will know exactly what that is by the end of this
week or the first part of next week when Stelling brings over the final
SOW approved by the FAA. If the time line becomes a problem the airport
may have to front the funds to move on the website and get paid back
from grant funds when the grant is approved.
I know that you want more specifics for the contract with the County IT,
but I can't give that to you yet. All I can say is Stelling says they
will fund any changes to our website for the next two years. The top
limit is $4,000 for now. I can set up a preliminary meeting with Jeff
Walla (Stelling Engineer Project Mgr.) any time you are available.

The 4-5 hours of development time would be a onetime charge and the
charges for the hosting would not be charged entirely to the airport.
The airport pays a data transfer fee and that covers the website costs.
Due to this I was asking how I could charge the airport directly. The
City's website will be adequate to host the airport planning
information. However since we are in the requirement gathering phase I
don't have more exact costs than what I have already provided. The
biggest factor on my part is getting the information from Stelling
Engineers to determine that I have all of their requirements when the
airport design is completed. The website contract goes to Council on
Monday June 21st, then the contract still has to go to the Flathead
County Commissioners for approval. I am gathering the requirements now
so I can proceed with the county developer on the design portion after
the contract is signed by both parties.

The cost to design the site the way we want it is fine if the cost is
going to be >$500. I cannot afford ongoing charges of $400 a year right
now. So my question would be whether the hosting and google charges are
a one-time charge or an annual charge? We have a proposal, in a grant,
for $4,000 to set up and operate a website for the next two years
dealing with airport planning. If we can put all of the information
into our current website and have it paid for with FAA grant funds we
can kill two birds with one stone. There should be plenty of money
available to design the website for future needs. Stelling Engineers
would have some input into what we want on the site. We could leave the
entire $4,000 in the grant proposal and use whatever we need.
Does this make sense to you?

Fred talked to me on Friday about the FAA funding he has for the airport
project and that it included funding for the airport website. I was
asked to calculate the amount the airport would pay for the pages in the
website and get it to him by this week since he has a meeting. The
airport project includes funding for the airport website but the funding
is good only for the airport's portion of the website. The bids &
proposals would be used for the airport during anytime the airport had
one, as well as the resolutions or ordinances ,etc.
At this time, the airport has already been charged a transfer into the
data processing budget ($900) of the original $20,000 website redesign &
hosting project from the 2010 fiscal year. I did increase the budget in
the Fiscal 2011 budget because I have anticipated I didn't have every
level of detail in the original website requirements which has indeed
been true after receiving the department requirements.
I have received an answer from Vicki that Fred's airport pages could
take an estimated 5-10 hours to complete at $45/hour. I would also like
to add part of the hosting $25/month ($300/year), and $100/year Google
Analytics fees to the cost for the airport portion of the website. If
the airport also benefits from the home page of our website I see it
suitable to add a block of hours to the airport fees for the home page.
Do you agree with this?

Erika:
Here is what needs to be done to the current Airport web site:
. Make a couple grammatical changes to the verbiage on the front
page
. Develop a link to a Master Plan Update file that can be
updated monthly
. Develop a link to a Documents file where we can list all the
studies done to date on the airport.
. Develop a link to a Meetings file where we can show pending
meetings and meetings that have already taken place with minutes
attached.
If you can get me a price on this development and also the loading of
the documents I can give you an OK. I have a source to fund these
changes.
