Communications and Marketing Support Services

The City of Milpitas is soliciting proposals for comprehensive on-call communications and marketing services through RFP 26-155, with responses due by July 28, 2026. The awarded vendor or vendors will provide tailored support across graphic design, video production, and media planning and buying to deliver high-quality public outreach materials aligned with citywide and department-specific initiatives. Services will include creating event recap videos for community celebrations such as Tree Lighting, 4th of July, and Lunar New Year, producing public service announcements on emergency preparedness and water conservation, and developing campaigns to promote local businesses and city programs. The City emphasizes the need for culturally responsive, strategic, and timely communication that fosters public trust, transparency, and meaningful engagement with its diverse population. The procurement is managed by the City Manager’s Office in Milpitas, California, and the contract will operate on an as-needed basis, allowing City staff to request services flexibly to meet evolving outreach goals. Proposals will be evaluated with the possibility of awarding one or multiple vendors based on capability, experience, and alignment with the City’s objectives. Primary contact for inquiries is Charmaine Angelo, Public Information Officer, with Michelle Broughton serving as the Buyer. All work is to be performed within California, and interested firms must submit their proposals through the designated online portal by the established deadline to be considered.
