How to compare

- Ask which staff will travel, consult locally, or coordinate remotely.
- Review relevant public-involvement or media cases, including how feedback was used.
- Set clear rules for factual review, response times, and reporting.
Before you contact a firm
A statewide service claim does not imply an office in every community. Confirm current team locations, travel costs, project scope, and any issue conflicts before choosing a firm. Distinguish genuine consultation from a publicity campaign.
These descriptions reflect the firms' own published service information. Request a current proposal and check fit, conflicts, and terms directly with each firm.
