Barbary Coast Consulting and Davis & Associates Communications have picked up PR pacts with the San Francisco County Transportation Authority, following an RFQ process.
Nine firms responded to the November call for pitches, a field narrowed to the two finalists by the SFCTA, which does not have an in-house PR operation.
The firms will handle strategic communications, media and community relations projects as they arise over the next three years and will compete for any assignments over $75K.
The contracts are capped at $525K over three years.
Barbary has worked with the SFCTA for seven years.
