State Lobbying Services for the City of Norfolk

The City of Norfolk is soliciting proposals for state lobbying services to advocate for its interests at the state level. The selected vendor will be responsible for representing the City's legislative agenda, monitoring pending state legislation, budget formation, and engaging with state government representatives. Key focus areas include flood control, transportation, public safety, and community and housing development. The City may award multiple agreements, with a primary retainer-based contract and additional project-based contracts for specialized expertise. Services are to be performed proactively and responsively, with regular communication and strategic engagement, including weekly updates during legislative sessions and monthly updates during interim periods. The RFP was re-issued due to a technical submission issue, and previously submitted proposals will be carried forward for consideration, though vendors may submit revised proposals.
