TIMA approves on-call strategic communications contracts for up to $500,000
Summary
The agency awarded on-call contracts to five firms for strategic communications, authorizing a combined not-to-exceed amount of $500,000 for up to three years, with extension options for two additional one-year terms.
The Treasure Island Mobility Management Agency voted Tuesday to award on-call strategic communications, media and community relations contracts to five consultant teams for a three-year period, with options to extend two additional one-year terms, for a combined not-to-exceed amount of $500,000.
Cynthia Fong, deputy director for finance and administration, told the committee the services sought include public relations, media relations, public outreach, marketing, crisis communication, event planning and translation services to support agency projects. She said the agency issued a request for qualifications on April 18, 2025, received 10 proposals after a well-attended pre-proposal conference, and recommended contracting with the five highest-ranked firms. Fong said the recommended pool included women-owned, Hispanic-owned and African-American–owned firms and that the five teams committed to meeting a 70 percent DBE percentage requirement for work assigned under the on-call contracts.
Fong said the work will be included in the fiscal year 2025–26 budget and is expected to be funded from Treasure Island Community Development LLC and transportation authority sales tax appropriations to TIMA. There was no public comment. Vice Chair Rafael Mandelmann moved the recommendation and the committee approved the contracts.
