Public Outreach Consultant Services

The City is seeking a public outreach consultant to develop, implement, and manage a comprehensive public outreach and education campaign. The agency needs to engage the public in understanding municipal code, state regulations, proper sorting of curbside collection streams, and waste reduction. The project aims to solve the problem of improper waste disposal by creating specific engagement approaches for residents, businesses, multi-family tenants, schools, non-profit organizations, and commercial edible food generators. The scope of work covers establishing effective communication and collaboration methods with franchise haulers to optimize outreach delivery to customers. The selected partner must create and execute an ongoing, year-round communication campaign targeting residents, multi-family complexes, and commercial businesses via direct mailers, bill inserts, utility bills, and door-to-door canvas operations. The agency also requires the design of print and digital educational materials regarding proper source-separation, organic waste recycling, and the environmental impacts of methane emissions, as well as localized content for the city website, social media, and other digital platforms. Bidders must perform all work onsite and must be located onshore within the United States. The agency is requesting proposals to determine the budget and will award a contract for a one-year period. Interested parties must submit all questions no later than July 10, 2026, and may submit their final responses digitally via email or online.
