County to issue RFPs for tourism director and attraction services for 2026–27
Summary
Staff returned with draft request-for-proposals (RFPs) to recruit a director of tourism development and to solicit services supporting tourism and cultural attractions in Mason County for 2026 and 2027; commissioners asked for timeline adjustments and final RFPs to come back for action.
Mason County staff on June 23 asked commissioners to move forward with draft request-for-proposals to recruit a director of tourism development for 2026–27 and to solicit proposals for services that support tourism and cultural attractions in the county for 2026.
A county representative said the RFP language had been discussed previously and requested the commission’s approval to proceed; commissioners asked that the timeline be adjusted where possible so the county would not have to change previously set dates and that the item be placed on the next available action agenda if feasible.
One commissioner referenced state law (RCW) as part of the procurement framework and staff confirmed they would follow applicable statutes and bring final RFPs back to the commission for action and distribution.
No formal action on awarding or contracting took place at the briefing; staff sought direction to finalize the documents and proceed with the RFP process according to the RCW requirements and the commission’s timetable.
