About

The City of Oakland seeks to establish multiple on-call contracts with creative, dynamic, and thoughtful graphic design vendors to assist the City with visual communications and create new graphic materials with a consistent identity.

The objective is to enhance the effectiveness and reach of the City’s communications to multi-lingual, multi-generational, racially and culturally diverse, English-speaking and non-English speaking audiences through clear and compelling visual communications.

The total maximum value of each on-call contract is not-to-exceed $250,000 over the three-year contract period. As graphic design opportunities arise within City departments, department staff would contact vendors in the approved pool to negotiate a specific scope of work and cost proposal for each project, not to exceed a cumulative $250,000 of work during the three-year period.
