WHAT THEY WANT
(Summarized from the RFP)
The City of Escondido Utilities Department is seeking a qualified communications firm to serve as its ongoing strategic communications advisor. The Department runs the City's water, wastewater, recycled water and related infrastructure, and many of its initiatives are technically complex, expensive and unfold over years or decades. The City needs a consultant who can turn technical, financial, regulatory and operational information into clear, durable public narratives that explain why major initiatives are needed, how near-term actions fit longer-term plans, and what tradeoffs and customer impacts are involved.
