State Lobbying Services

The City of California is seeking proposals from qualified state lobbying professionals or firms to provide legislative advocacy services that align with the City’s goals and interests. The selected proposer will work directly under the supervision of the Legislative Affairs Manager to represent the City at the state level, aiming to influence legislation and policy in a manner that benefits the community. Given the current economic climate, the City emphasizes the importance of cost-effective solutions that do not compromise the quality of service. Historically, the City has been represented by a single lobbyist, but it is now open to exploring new partnerships that can deliver measurable results and support the City’s evolving needs as it marks 60 years since incorporation. The contract, titled "State Lobbying Services," is part of a formal solicitation process with a response deadline of December 2, 2024. The project’s budget ranges from $50,000 to $200,000, reflecting the scope and importance of the services required. The City encourages interested parties to submit proposals that demonstrate their ability to effectively advocate for the City’s legislative priorities. The primary contact for this solicitation is Mina Layba, reachable via email or phone, and additional information can be accessed through the City’s procurement portal.
