New York State Lobbying Services

Rochester Genesee Regional Transportation Authority (RGRTA) is seeking to retain a legislative consultant to provide lobbying services before the New York State Governor's Office and Executive Branch, the New York State Legislature, and New York State Agencies, with proposals due October 2, 2026 on the RGRTA Supplier Portal.

RGRTA has established contracting goals of 3.00% for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVOB) and 30.00% total for Minority/Women Business Enterprise (MWBE) participation. O'Donnell & Associates and Ostroff Associates have held identical or substantially similar contracts within the past five years and may inform competitive positioning.

Solicitation documents are available on the RGRTA Supplier Portal (https://supplierportal.myrts.com/) beginning at 8:00 a.m. on September 4, 2026. Vendors must register through the portal to access materials and submit responses. All responses require acceptance of terms and conditions presented on the portal. Supporting documents must follow naming conventions (under 50 characters, no ZIP files, bid sheets remain in MS Excel format without worksheet protection). Vendors may only contact RGRTA staff listed on the portal's Contacts tab; contacting other staff violates New York State Finance Law. Responses may be submitted, edited while unsubmitted, or modified and withdrawn while the event remains open. Contract performance spans Monroe County (Rochester City and surrounding area).
