The RFP issued in 2017 was the first time Economic Development and Culture (EDC) has worked with a creative marketing agency. As a result, the hours outlined in the original RFP were estimated based on EDC's past engagement with freelance designers and project-based agency work. No other benchmarks were available to identify the hours of work required to support EDC's needs for a three-year term, particularly in the area of strategic planning. EDC has utilized 2,021 hours of the total 2,500 hours identified in the RFP, resulting in the need to add additional hours to the contract to allow EDC to continue to work with Cossette for the remainder of the three-year term.
