Closed June 1, 2026. The Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District, a California air agency, wanted a new public website with improved usability and accessibility.

What decided it

Accessibility was 20 points on its own, and cost was 15. Ties went to the lower price. The $2M and $4M insurance and the 500+ PDF cleanup favored an experienced public-sector vendor.
