The Texas Department of Economic Development in Austin has extended its entry deadline for public relations duties on the Lone Star tourism account to April 5, a state agency official overseeing the review said last week.
Scott Owings, U.S. and Asia marketing manager for TDEC, said addenda sent out last week to the initial bid requirements are forcing the department to push back the final day for bids from Texas agencies and public relations firms. Owings said he thus far has seen “overwhelming” response to the mandatory review.
The state contract is worth $250,000 annually, with four one-year renewal options.
