OpaLocka

Opa-Locka, which is located in northwestern Miami-Dade County, FL, is looking for a PR firm to help create a "unique and memorable" identity for the city.

Chartered in 1926, Opa-Locka was developed based on an Arabian Nights theme, which is evident by the large collection of Moorish architecture throughout the city and streets named Ali Baba, Sultan and Aladdin.

The RFP calls for a PR program to increase positive perceptions of Opa-Locka and to build community support for its missions and goals.

The desired partner will handle any PR crisis that may arise. It also will advise on "media and PR strategies in multi-disciplinary efforts to address possible changes to the city’s physical and social fabric," according to the RFP.

The contract will run for two years with a one-year renewable clause.

Responses are due July 1.
