Description
The City of Wilmington, on behalf of the Wilmington Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WMPO), issued a competitive Request for Proposals to secure a consultant to provide comprehensive lobbying services. The consultant will act as WMPO’s advocate with the North Carolina General Assembly, the U.S. Congress, and federal executive agencies, handling legislative tracking, drafting, liaison, and outreach to advance WMPO’s transportation priorities, such as funding for the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge replacement. Proposals must be submitted in a concise 15‑page format, include detailed team qualifications, prior lobbying experience with NC municipalities or MPOs, and comply with insurance, MBE/DBE, and non‑collusion requirements. Evaluation will be based on experience, personnel qualifications, staffing capability, and overall firm expertise.
