EXHIBIT A 
Federal Lobbying Services 
PROJECT 
Scope of Services  
The goal of the federal legislative representation services contract is to provide effective advocacy of the City 
Council’s adopted positions on federal legislative, regulatory and funding matters in a targeted and consistent 
manner. The consultant is to accomplish these objectives by building positive relationships, assembling coalitions, 
coordinating City activities, and directly advocating and participating in national organizations of shared interests. 
Through the Intergovernmental Programs Manager, the consultant is also responsible for keeping the City informed 
on matters at the national level that impact City Council goals and objectives, as well as City operations and 
budgeting. At a minimum, the selected firm will, in accordance with legal, ethical, and professional standards, 
provide at the direction of the Intergovernmental Programs Manager, federal legislative representation and 
consultant services including but not limited to the following services:  
1. Confer with the Intergovernmental Programs Manager to develop a federal program on a mutually agreeable 
timeframe. The program will set forth Glendale’s annual legislative and executive branch priorities and identify 
major issues that will be considered by Congress or the Administration and that affect the City.  
2. Identify and provide analyses of federal issues that impact Glendale, including review of federal executive 
proposals, legislation, administrative rules and regulations, and other federal documents that directly impact the City. 
Keep the City informed about federal funding opportunities proposed in authorizing or appropriations bills.  
3. Represent the City before Congress and legislative committees in Washington D.C. as directed by the 
Intergovernmental Programs Manager and advise the City on legislative strategy, particularly including those to 
secure grants and appropriations. Representation includes engaging in advocacy with the Arizona Congressional 
delegation, other members of Congress, federal officials and key interest groups.  
4. Serve as the liaison to the Arizona congressional delegation and their staff, as well as facilitate meetings with key 
members of Congress and their staff, and federal agency officials and staff as appropriate.  
5. Broker partnerships with other cities that might improve Congressional advocacy for programs that benefit 
Glendale.  
6. Review and comment on City proposals that are being prepared for submission to federal agencies when 
requested by the Intergovernmental Programs Manager and perform appropriate liaison and follow-up work to 
obtain favorable consideration of such proposals.
