Contract value

$300,000

The RFP does not disclose a budget, but lobbying contracts for regional planning organizations typically range from $200,000 to $500,000 annually, depending on the scope of legislative activity and staff levels required. Given the comprehensive duties (continuous lobbying at state and federal levels, drafting proposals, briefing materials, and reporting) and the fact that the contract is funded from a local MPO budget, a reasonable mid‑range estimate would be around $300,000 for the initial performance period. This estimate assumes a one‑year term with potential extensions and reflects market rates for experienced lobbying firms in North Carolina.
