The Kenai Small Business Development and Tourism Marketing Services unit is seeking proposals from marketing services firms to help businesses that suffered decreased customer demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Kenai

Located in Alaska, Kenai has views of the Cook Inlet, as well as miles of beaches, two mountain ranges and four active volcanoes. It has earned the National Civic League designation of "All-America City."

Kenai expects to receive a $7.7M grant under the COVID-19 CARES Act. On July 1, the city council allocated $50K to be used by small businesses for marketing services.

The KSBDTMS  is looking for contractors to help businesses in the areas of website management for e-commerce, tourism marketing assistance and other efforts "to help repair the economic damage suffered due to decreased customer demand during the public health emergency," according to the RFP.

Proposals are due Aug. 3.
