Monthly Billing Strategic Communication Plan

Contract source

Awarded vendors

  • KMK Media Group

Description

This contract calls for the development and execution of a comprehensive strategic communication plan to support Four Rivers Sanitation Authority’s transition from quarterly to monthly billing. The vendor must create a phased rollout schedule, produce all public‑facing materials (press releases, newsletters, TV/radio spots, billboards, social media content, website updates, videos, etc.), manage a small media budget, and coordinate with agency staff and elected officials. The work will be billed on an hourly basis with a “do‑not‑exceed” ceiling, and the vendor must meet extensive insurance, fair‑employment, and IDHR registration requirements. The contract was awarded to KMK Media Group after an open competition. • Scope: strategic messaging, media production, stakeholder outreach, and budget management for monthly billing rollout. • Pricing: hourly rate with a capped total amount (Time‑and‑Materials/Hourly). • Timeline: implementation begins September 2024 for part of the service area, with full rollout by January 2025.

Contract value

$150,000

The solicitation does not disclose a contract ceiling. Based on similar municipal communication‑plan contracts, a full‑service agency handling strategy, creative production, media budget oversight, and stakeholder coordination for a regional utility typically commands between $100,000 and $200,000. The hourly‑rate structure with a “do‑not‑exceed” limit suggests a modest budget; I estimate roughly $150,000 total. Factors considered: scope covering multiple media channels, a rollout period of several months, insurance and compliance costs, and the need for a dedicated project manager.
