Public and Community Relations Support Services

The Alabama Department of Transportation is seeking a qualified consultant to provide on‑demand public‑relations, communications, and crisis‑communication services for its construction, maintenance, and statewide projects. The contractor will be called upon for individual assignments rather than a fixed‑scope contract, delivering counsel, media outreach, community‑engagement activities, and safety‑campaign support as needed. Reimbursable expenses are limited to actual costs with no profit markup, and the vendor must meet state compliance requirements (E‑Verify, disclosure statement, etc.). • Provide public‑information, media relations, and community‑engagement assistance for DOT projects with significant public impact. • Deliver crisis‑communication support and safety‑themed campaign services on an as‑requested basis. • Operate under a cost‑reimbursement model with strict limits on copying, travel, and other expenses; no profit markup allowed. • Must submit a vendor disclosure statement and be enrolled in E‑Verify; compliance with Alabama statutory requirements is mandatory.
