PR Agency Needed For Idaho Water

PR Agency Needed For Idaho Water

The Idaho Soil & Water Conservation Commission (ISWCC), through the Idaho Division of Purchasing (DOP), is seeking quotes from qualified firms to provide media and public information services.

Background:

ISWCC facilitates locally led agricultural stewardship on private lands. We facilitate coordinated non-regulatory, voluntary, and locally-led conservation by federal, state, and local governments including Idaho’s conservation districts and other partners to conserve, sustain, improve, and enhance soil, water, air, plant, and animal resources.

Scope of Work:

The Idaho Soil & Water Conservation Commission (ISWCC) is seeking a qualified and experienced Contractor to provide media and public information services. The Contractor will assist the ISWCC in creating media that will educate and inform the public, decision makers, partners and other stakeholders about voluntary conservation activities primarily in the State of Idaho, but may include other geographic locations that implement innovative or noteworthy conservation practices. The ISWCC is initiating this RFQ to solicit quotes from consultants interested in fulfilling media and public information services as outlined by the ISWCC. The selected consultant will work closely with ISWCC staff to develop a PR plan that meets objectives described in ISWCC’s strategic plan. https://swc.idaho.gov/media/1105/final-iswcc-fy-2018-2021-strategic-plan.pdf.
