Central Basin

The Central Basin Municipal Water District, which serves more than two million people living in cities in southeast Los Angeles County, wants to hire a firm for PR and media relations services.

CBMWD also supplies water for groundwater replacement and recycled water for municipal, commercial and industrial use.

It is looking for a PR partner to provide counsel on the full range of the District’s activities, including strategic planning as well as responses to immediate issues that may arise during the normal course of operations, according to the RFQ.

The firm is expected to have strong national, state, local and international media contacts along with savvy in running social media campaigns.

CBMWD will issue a one-year contract, starting July. It will pay a monthly retainer from $2K to $6K.

The firm will work under the direction of CBMWD’s general manager in order to achieve the District’s PR, branding and media goals.

Proposals are due May 3 at the CBMWD’s PlanetBids portal.
