29. Award Contract for Federal Lobbying Services

Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-04-21 · agenda_item

The Lee Board of County Commissioners is planning to award a contract for federal lobbying services. This service is intended to help the County advocate for federal funding, policies, and legislative priorities. The contract is planned to be awarded following presentations and board discussion. The process involves selecting a firm to represent the County's interests in Washington D.C. This opportunity is early in the process, as the contract is yet to be awarded. The work will involve developing federal strategies, identifying grant programs, and advocating for specific projects. This could lead to work in areas such as securing earmarks, grant applications, and influencing policy. Local businesses specializing in government relations, lobbying, and federal advocacy could find opportunities by engaging with the County early to understand their specific needs and priorities before final contracts are settled.
