Contract source

Description

This solicitation seeks a qualified consultant to provide comprehensive lobbying and legislative‑advocacy services for the Wilmington Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization. The contractor will act as WMPO’s point‑of‑contact with the North Carolina General Assembly, the U.S. Congress, and federal executive agencies; monitor, analyze, and report on legislation affecting regional transportation planning; draft legislative proposals; and develop briefing materials to advance WMPO’s priorities, such as funding for key infrastructure projects. The selection will be based on a weighted evaluation of relevant experience, staff qualifications, and overall firm expertise. The award will be funded from WMPO’s FY 2024 local planning budget, with no federal funds involved.

Contract value

$300,000

The RFP does not disclose a budget, but lobbying contracts for regional planning organizations typically range from $200,000 to $500,000 annually, depending on the scope of legislative activity and staff levels required. Given the comprehensive duties (continuous lobbying at state and federal levels, drafting proposals, briefing materials, and reporting) and the fact that the contract is funded from a local MPO budget, a reasonable mid‑range estimate would be around $300,000 for the initial performance period. This estimate assumes a one‑year term with potential extensions and reflects market rates for experienced lobbying firms in North Carolina.
