RFP - Bozeman City Study Commission Recommendations Ballot Education

March 2026

NOTICE IS HEREBY given that the City of Bozeman Study Commission (BSC) is seeking proposals from firms to engage in a Ballot Education campaign. The BSC will propose an Amended City Charter for approval by the voters in the November 3, 2026, election. The Amended Charter will be on the ballot to be Approved or Disapproved. In addition, there may be some (no more than three) Sub-Options for voters’ approval or not. A significant educational process is needed, because the November 3 ballot will have federal and statewide issues and because the Charter Amendment with sub-options is inevitably confusing.

Copies of the Request for Proposals are available on the City’s website.

All proposals must be provided as a single, searchable PDF document file and be submitted digitally as an email attachment to the City email address below. All proposals must comply with level A and AA Success Criteria and Conformance Requirements as defined by current Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Respondents are advised that City’s email attachment size limit is 25MB and that only one PDF file will be allowed per response. The subject line of the transmittal email shall clearly identify the RFP title, company name and due date/time. File sizes greater than 25MB in size may be uploaded to the City Clerks’ Office upon special arrangement with the City Clerk. It is the Respondent’s sole responsibility to ensure the file upload is completed, and that the City is separately notified via email of same, prior to the given deadline.

Deliver RFPs via email to the City Clerk by Friday, April 3, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. MT. It is the sole responsibility of the Respondent to ensure that proposals are received prior to the closing time as late submittals will not be considered.
