From the meeting
At its October 20, 2026 meeting, the City of Gulfport authorized a continuing renewal with Shumaker Advisors, Florida, LLC. for state legislative consultant, advisory, and government relations services. The contract is budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 adopted budget at $3,000 per month plus up to $250 per month in expenses.
This is an incumbent-follow-on signal tied to municipal funding advocacy and legislative priorities, so the useful next conversation is around ongoing state lobbying support and any project priorities the city will carry into the next budget cycle.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
