FEBRUARY AGENDA ITEMS |

Execute Sole Source Contract to Design &
Implement a Multi-Media Pilot Project for Web-based Communications with
the Public
There is a need for a database and communications system that would
enable the district to establish immediate and interactive contact with
a large numbers of residents within the AQMD. Staff recommends a
sole-source contract with KSR Strategy Group to implement and assess the
impact of a targeted public education program to raise the visibility of
AQMD among stakeholders and the public. KSR Strategy Group has the
requisite technical expertise and communications experience to assess
our needs and deliver the products needed within a given timeframe.
Staff recommends the approval of a contract with KSR Strategy Group at a
cost not to exceed $69,000 to complete this work within the next six
months. |

Issue RFP
for Media Relations Services
With AQMD activity
increasing in a number of program areas, including outreach for the new
Healthy Hearths program, and the Board’s desire to improve communication
of AQMD programs to Southland residents, AQMD’s Media Office is seeking
to solicit bids from qualified media relations/public relations firms to
assist with media outreach programs. A firm or firms are needed to
assist the office, which handles day-to-day media communications
services and programs, with proactive media outreach activities. This
includes strategic planning, news conferences and media campaigns. This
action is to issue an RFP for Media Relations Services for a one-year
period with an option to renew for two additional one-year contracts. |
