I agree that it is doable. I would take those other things in consideration too.

1. ARIA support if needed. Not all developers are familiar with ARIA and how to use it. I experienced that first-hand with Sr. Developers.
2. Various college departments that update pages, which could result in images without alt attributes or image links without labels. I ran into that at Penn State University.
3. Will the developer be targeting large and small views? Add more to small views like iPhones and other mobile devices. Good example, pop-up modals do not get focus with Voiceover like they do with large view.
4. Experience of the web developer and whether the front-end will change from static to dynamic or dynamic with a different front-end language.

As I said, it is doable, but make sure you dot your Is and dash your Ts before you embark on such a project.
