RFP builder

[lukefretwell]

Doc

Use ScanGov Standards to generate procurement specifications for a website.

Form:

• Name
• website URL
• Organization
• Questions deadline
• Submission deadline

Forms page:

• /rfp-builder

OG:

• image
• alt

Thoughts:

• /procurement-tool (maybe something more catchy)
• File under Resources tab
• List all standards + description
• Copy/paste contents
• Fill in data (city/poc/etc), generate RFP (copy/paste)
• Include mention of SG standards + link to standards.scangov.org

Sounds good

• The output could be displayed as HTML but have option to download it as a pdf

Optional features:

• We could generate unique urls for each generated spec so they could share the url with somebody else
• Ability to go back from the generated spec to the form, modify and recreate even if the generated url was visited in a new session

In order to ship this quickly @lukefretwell do you want to?

• Create the form you envision people filling out to create
• Build a hardcoded sample of the output using placeholders for data

[lukefretwell]

Yes, exactly what I was thinking re: MVP.

@aaronhans @Narlotl should I create a forms page AND a results page? If so, I'll add the latter.

[Narlotl]

Yes, do both.

• Remove 'The' in first line of executive summary
• Add 'General information' section before contact information

@Narlotl is this link permanent? If so, for the utility buttons suggest:

• Copy text
• <i class="fa-solid fa-link"></i> Copy link
• Suggest expiring the link after 30 days
