Communications and Engagement Plan Services

The District is seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive communications and engagement plan services to enhance its public outreach and regional presence. The agency needs to solve the problem of inconsistent messaging and limited social media reach across its various projects, programs, and emergency situations. To address this, the selected vendor will develop communication templates, establish best practices for social media and surveys, and create ideas for planned campaigns. The scope of work covers the creation of key messages and outreach strategies for events, projects, and crisis communications. The agency requires guidance to establish a citywide newsletter, an annual report, and an annual community survey, as well as recommendations for media training opportunities. Additionally, the vendor must provide boilerplate language for press releases, emergency messaging, and share relevant case studies about disaster preparedness from other municipalities. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency requires all performance of the work to occur offsite. The contract term will span a period of three years. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget for this project. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than July 17, 2026.
