Jefferson County (“the County”) seeks proposals from qualified individuals or firms (hereinafter referred to solely as “firm”) to provide legislative representation, funding strategy assistance, and lobbying services as described herein. Jefferson County has engaged with a contract lobbyist firm to represent its interests in the past and is interested in developing a new 2-year approach to this work. Through this Request for Proposals (RFP), the County seeks competitive proposals to continue and potentially expand services as described in the “Scope of Work” section. Preference will be given to firms with experience representing rural local governments, as well as proposals that focus on Washington State legislative representation and lobbying services, while also offering federal legislative guidance.
