Community Engagement and?Communications?Services

The San Mateo County Flood and Sea Level Rise Resiliency District, known as OneShoreline, seeks to retain one (1) qualified firm to provide as-needed community education, outreach, engagement, communications, and stakeholder facilitation services in support of its climate resilience initiatives. The selected firm will enter into a Master Services Agreement (MSA) with OneShoreline and will be eligible to receive task orders for individual scopes of work as needs arise.
