Indiana wants proposals from PR and marketing firms to develop a four-year statewide communications plan to highlight disability issues on behalf of the Governor’s Council for People with Disabilities.
Budget is pegged at $250K per year, with about half of that amount slated for Disability Awareness Month efforts.
An RFP released Oct. 1 outlines work including research and writing for various publications, a bi-monthly newsletter (circulation: 5,500), media relations, developing and implementing a statewide communications plan, and other tasks.
The RFP comes as the council is preparing Indiana’s state disability plan for 2012-16 and is hosting town hall meetings across the state for input. It also follows the 20th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act on July 26, 2010.
The council, based in Indianapolis, wants “high levels” of expertise in PR and media outreach, including “new media,” according to the RFP.
Proposals are due Nov. 19 (questions by Oct. 14).
