GLWA

The Great Lakes Water Authority, which provides clean, safe drinking water to 40 percent of Michigan’s population, is looking for a firm to create a “dynamic communications strategy.”

It leases five water treatment facilities, as well as supporting the water supply infrastructure for Detroit.

GLWA wants a firm to refine its brand messaging, cultivate relationships with reporters/editors, serve as main contact for media inquiries, identify speaking opportunities, attend board media meetings and media train staff.

The selected partner will provide counsel in crisis management situations and be available at a site or facility within 30 minutes of notification of an emergency.

GLWA, which is based in Detroit, plans to issue a contract covering work from December 1, 2023 to November 30, 2026.

Proposals are due June 23. Respondents must register at GLWA's Bonfire portal.
