FROM: Lori McWilliams, MPA, MMC, Village Clerk
DATE: 8/4/2023
SUBJECT: CivicPlus — Website and VOTBot Agreements

www.tequesta.org
CivicPlus initially proposed a 22% increase in our website and VOTBot services beginning on 10/1/2023. 1
was able to get the price increase down to 7%. Thereafter, our contract will auto -renew with an annual
increase of 5% each renewal term.
BREAKDOWN:
• Website Hosting and Support $5,592.87
• VOTBot — Al Chatbot $2,727.89
• SSL Certificate $ 82.92
Comparing the current negotiated price with the previous contract cost in 2020:
Previous contract cost in 2019: $7,260.80 negotiated down to $5,000 in 2020
Negotiated price (2023): $5,829.71— a 7% increase negotiated down from 22%
The current negotiated price remains lower than what we paid under the 2019 contract. The negotiation
has resulted in a cost -savings to the village. However, it is important to keep in mind that costs will
increase annually due to the 5% auto -renewal increase.
