The city is looking to retain a qualified firm or individual to assist in developing naming rights and obtaining sponsorships for city assets and events, with a focus on periodic, signature, and community-based opportunities. The RFP outlines a comprehensive selection process where potential consultants must demonstrate extensive qualifications, including experience in corporate sponsorship consultation, knowledge of regulatory requirements, ability to manage multiple sponsorship opportunities, and proficiency in municipal funding processes.

The funding for this contract is currently available, with an account balance of $133,081.35 as of July 27, 2023.

The city reserves the right to negotiate consultant fees and requires that key personnel identified in the original proposal perform the work, with any personnel changes subject to city approval. Subconsultants must be pre-identified and approved, and the city maintains discretion in selecting the most qualified consultant based on their qualifications, experience, and proposed work plan.

I’d like to hire a consultant to assist in identifying corporate sponsorships (est. <$50K). Can you confirm funding availability from ED’s professional services account?

Thanks a bunch!

This is a good idea. How much money are we talking about for this consultant? We might have some funding this FY.

Following up on our conversations regarding identification of alternative funding source for economic development, I had previously mentioned pursuing corporate sponsorships. I’d like to hire a consultant to help identify our assets and solicit/negotiate/broker potential sponsorship opportunities.

Scope:

1. Identification of potential assets

2. finalize a list of the sponsorship targets that the Sponsorship Consultant will solicit during the initial Contract term

3. Solicit, negotiate and finalize agreements, with final approval by City Council

What say you?
