27 City of Sunny Isles Beach RFP #26-01-01 Professional Lobbying Services February 18, 2026 After each legislative session concludes, we will ensure appropriate follow-through on bills that impact the City. We will ensure the City is informed regarding the impact of all session matters, submitting a written closing report summarizing outcomes of the legislative session within one week of its conclusion, and a comprehensive final report within 60 days. The GrayRobinson team will also submit an annual accomplishments report summarizing outcomes of the firm’s efforts and deliver an in-person presentation to the City Commission, as requested. Outside of session, we will provide the City with periodic reporting in a format and with a level of detail acceptable to the City. We will provide these reports to the City Commission, City Manager, and designated staff. Reports will include: ▪Updates on all issues we are advocating on behalf of the City ▪Additional issues the team is monitoring that could affect the City ▪Budget updates ▪Reports on interim committee meetings ▪Federal rulemaking of interest ▪Studies or anticipated legislation of interest ▪Any other notes worthy of mentioning In addition to the scheduled reporting identified in the Scope of Services, GrayRobinson’s government affairs and lobbying group publishes a weekly newsletter for all clients, both during and outside the legislative session. “Capitol Beats” provides federal, state, and local political news updates of importance to our clients each week. Lastly, GrayRobinson hosts internal seminars and Community Leader Forums (CLFs) in our markets throughout the state. We bring together clients, lobbyists, attorneys, political leaders, and friends of the firm to hear high-profile business leaders, community leaders, and elected officials discuss issues of importance to business and the State of Florida. We can also use these opportunities to introduce City leadership to other political leaders. We also invite City designees to attend “Session Wrap-Up” seminars we host each year across the state INTERACTION WITH LEGISLATIVE STAFF, AGENCY OFFICIALS, AND ASSOCIATIONS. Throughout our representation of the City, the GrayRobinson team will provide direct advocacy in Tallahassee, maintaining a constant presence at the state Capitol and in applicable legislative districts. We will work with key legislators and with the City to identify other legislators who may be champions or advocates for your goals, as well as those who may oppose your legislative priorities. In addition, we will identify third parties who may support or oppose the City’s agenda and collaborate with them on an as- needed basis. Relationships - The GrayRobinson team goes to great lengths to build long and lasting relationships with decision-makers. With 15 offices throughout Florida and an office in Washington, D.C., we get to know legislators at the local, state, and federal levels of government - including agency heads, staff, and other elected officials - in their hometowns. We support their causes and are involved in the same civic organizations - we are their neighbors and friends. Given the size and scope of GrayRobinson, along with the firm’s growth strategy over the years, rarely does a local leader ascend to a role in state or federal government without significant familiarity with GrayRobinson as a leading Florida firm or a direct relationship with one or more of our professionals throughout the state.
