The City of New Haven is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) from individuals or firms for Marketing, Public Relations and Graphic Arts. Selection will be based on professional competence and experience; cost will not be an evaluation factor at this stage. Based on the review of responses, the City will enter into one or more agreements for specific sections of the scope of work.

The Economic Development Administration (EDA) contributes to New Haven’s socio-economic wellbeing by facilitating commercial development and other taxpaying investments, attracting quality companies, supporting local business and entrepreneurial growth, and expanding the breadth of overall employment and economic activity in a manner that offers all residents access to high-quality jobs. The “Together, We Grow” inclusive growth initiative creates avenues to provide greater access to opportunity across the division’s work plan. EDA coordinates the operation of seven departments and provides direct responsibility for general administration, economic development, cultural affairs, and small contractor and small business assistance. All programs support economic opportunity through innovation and small business development; create a citywide value of place and connect residents to opportunity. With this RFQ, the City is seeking partners with proven experience and exceptional capabilities to translate the mission to internal and external stakeholders as well as the general population.
