REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
The Jacksonville Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (JUMPO) is the regional transportation planning organization for the Jacksonville, North Carolina metropolitan area. The City of Jacksonville is designated as the Lead Planning Agency for JUMPO and all contracts are executed through them on behalf of JUMPO. JUMPO consists of representatives from the City of Jacksonville, Town of Swansboro, Town of Holly Ridge, Town of Richlands, Town of North Topsail Beach, Onslow County, the North Carolina Department of Transportation, and area military bases.
JUMPO is responsible for planning and sharing information about long range planning initiatives for all modes of transportation with the citizens of Onslow County as well as our stakeholders. JUMBO’s website serves as a key platform for keeping them updated and engaged. The existing website was initially developed in 2018 and has been updated and maintained since then by staff.
JUMPO is seeking Request for Proposals (RFP) to revamp and redesign the existing website in terms of overall design and content restructuring to provide effective access to information and resources with intent-focus navigation (that is, the user will be able to easily access the intended resource without much navigation).
