About this file
This document is a Crisis Communication and Public Relations Services contract (#UWMSN-2025-3715-General) for the University of Wisconsin system. The contract includes 14 approved suppliers: Adamec Communications Inc., BerlinRosen, Boelter & Lincoln, Daniel J. Edelman Inc. (not piggybackable), Eddy Communications, Kane Communications Group, Kou Communications LLC, Laughlin Constable, Michael Best Friedrich LLP, Mueller Communications LLC, Reputation Partners LLC, Revelation LLC, Staples Marketing LLC dba Affirm Agency, and Torres Communication Management. Most suppliers are designated as "piggybackable," meaning other eligible entities can utilize their services under this contract vehicle.
The contract covers crisis communication and public relations services with hourly rates varying significantly by supplier and position level. Standard hourly rates range from $65 for administrative support to $800 for senior executive positions, with crisis communication rates typically commanding premium pricing (up to $750 per hour for principals). Most suppliers offer identical rates for onsite and remote work, though some like Laughlin Constable provide discounted remote rates. Several suppliers offer additional services at discounted rates, including video production, social media strategy, graphic design, and marketing research. The pricing structure references individual supplier tabs for detailed rate information, and suppliers like Mueller Communications include administrative fees (7.5% monthly) and markup on third-party vendor costs (17.65%).
