About this opportunity
The Town of Amherst, located in Erie County, New York, has issued Request for Proposals (RFP) #202508 seeking professional services for State and Federal Government Relations. The procurement aims to secure a qualified vendor to provide comprehensive representation for the town in Albany, specifically engaging with the Executive Chamber, State Legislature, and various State and Federal agencies. Key service requirements include assistance with legislative issues, local government support, revenue opportunity identification, development of the town's annual legislative agenda, and policy and fiscal matter advisory services. The evaluation criteria will heavily weight vendor qualifications, with 60% allocated to experience and expertise and 40% dedicated to proposed fees. All proposals must be structured as an annual retainer and submitted in four sealed physical copies and one electronic copy by the September 25, 2025 deadline, with an anticipated contract award in November 2025. The successful vendor will receive a one-year non-exclusive contract with potential renewal options for two additional one-year terms, commencing January 1, 2026.
The RFP does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Proposers must meet comprehensive compliance requirements, including certification under the Iran Divestment Act and adherence to various state and local laws concerning labor, civil rights, and non-discrimination. Vendors must provide references demonstrating expertise in government relations and legislative services. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the procurement process indicates the town reserves the right to reject any proposal and is not obligated to select the lowest bid. Insurance requirements and specific submission guidelines are included in the detailed RFP documentation. The contract appears designed to secure a strategic government relations partner capable of effectively navigating and representing the Town of Amherst's interests across state and federal governmental landscapes.
