On-Call Creative Consultant Services

The Port of Portland is seeking on‑call creative consulting firms to provide a menu of services—including illustration, videography, social‑media/content creation, copywriting/narrative writing, and strategic communications/campaign planning—on a task‑order basis. Providers may bid on any combination of these categories; contracts will be awarded per category and will run up to five years with no guaranteed minimum workload. Compensation is hourly (all‑inclusive) and the Port may request rate adjustments once per year. Work will often require rapid turnaround, on‑site presence at port facilities (including the airport), and compliance with security badge requirements. Subcontractors are allowed but must be approved and priced at or below the provider’s own rates. Evaluation emphasizes community‑investment and shared‑prosperity activities, experience, approach, and cost.
