Federal & State Professional Lobbying Services

The City of Hialeah is seeking proposals from experienced and qualified governmental affairs consulting firms to provide professional lobbying services. The City intends to select two separate firms to provide proactive advocacy, strategic planning, and legislative monitoring: one to represent the City before the executive and legislative branches of the State of Florida, and a second to represent the City before the Federal Government. The goal of this representation is to secure legislation, appropriations, and grant funding for programs and projects identified as priorities by the City. The selected firms will serve as a consistent and effective primary point of contact between the City and state/federal officials. • The City is looking for firms with experience in providing lobbying services to Florida cities, counties, or other Florida governmental agencies. • The firms should have a minimum of three years of experience providing lobbying services. • The designated Principal-in-Charge and Project Manager should each have a minimum of five years of experience in the lobbying field. • The firms should have a proven track record of successfully representing municipal or county governments before state and federal agencies. • The firms should be able to provide a detailed plan for maintaining and leveraging relationships with key stakeholders, including members of the State Legislature, Congress, executive branch agencies, and relevant committee staff.
