I. PURPOSE AND PROJECT OVERVIEW

The County of Santa Barbara Community Services Department is soliciting proposals from a qualified consultant or

consulting team to develop a comprehensive, countywide film-production framework and database, and to evaluate

options for a future Film Commissioner or other film-support function.

Santa Barbara County’s diverse landscapes and distinctive locations offer substantial opportunities for film and

media production. The selected contractor will identify and document the public agencies, jurisdictions, property

owners, operators, permitting authorities, and other entities relevant to film production; assess existing permitting

pathways and resources; and conduct independent research and outreach to collect, verify, and organize this

information into maintainable databases and clear, publication-ready public materials.

As part of this engagement, the contractor will also develop the scope and potential structure of future film-support

services, evaluating service-delivery models such as a dedicated Film Commissioner or film-support role within an

existing County department, a contracted nonprofit or external organization, regional or multi-jurisdictional

partnerships, scaled service models, and hybrid or phased approaches.

The final deliverables will support productions in identifying filming locations, understanding applicable

requirements, and reaching the appropriate contacts, while providing the County with practical resources and a

strong foundation for future film services.

II. PROJECT OBJECTIVES

A. Improve access to film-production information

Make it easier for productions to understand filming requirements, identify potential locations, and connect with

the appropriate agencies, property owners, and contacts.

B. Increase coordination and predictability

Improve communication and referrals among County departments, cities, public agencies, land managers,

property owners, and other entities involved in filming.

C. Create a sustainable information foundation

Establish accurate, organized, and maintainable information that the County can update and use for public

communication, internal coordination, GIS mapping, County-based web resources, external web resources

(including but not limited to the California Film Commission CinemaScout directory), and future film-support

activities.

D. Increase the visibility and usability of local filming resources

Provide a foundation for promoting suitable filming locations and helping productions evaluate opportunities

throughout Santa Barbara County.

E. Support informed decisions about future film services

Give County leadership and the Board of Supervisors the information needed to evaluate whether and how to

establish an ongoing Film Commissioner or other film-support function.

F. Establish a practical approach to measuring activity and results

Identify feasible ways to track production activity, service demand, and potential economic or community

benefits over time.

G. Position the County for effective industry participation

Evaluate appropriate professional relationships, including FLICS participation, that could support coordination,

training, visibility, and future film services.

III. SCOPE OF WORK AND REQUIRED DELIVERABLES

The contractor shall independently conduct the research, outreach, interviews, follow-up, and verification necessary

to complete the work and deliverables specified below in this Section III. Deliverables shall distinguish adopted

requirements and written policies from operational practices or individual comments. Each final deliverable shall

identify its sources, verification status, and date of verification, as applicable.3

County staff will provide overall project direction, available background materials, and known contacts where

appropriate. The contractor will be expected to work largely independently in identifying additional sources and

entities, conducting outreach, following up, verifying information, and managing the day-to-day work necessary to

complete the assignment.

A. Final Project Work Plan and Schedule

Following the project kickoff meeting, the contractor shall refine the approach and schedule included in its

proposal to reflect the final negotiated scope, contract term, County priorities, available information, and agreed-

upon review process.

Required deliverable: Within 10 business days after the kickoff meeting, the contractor shall submit a County-

approved work plan identifying the final tasks, deliverables, schedule, milestones, outreach activities,

responsibilities, dependencies, and County review points. The work plan shall be subject to County approval

and updated only when material changes to the scope or schedule are approved by the County.

Key Project Milestones

The County anticipates the following major completion milestones. The final negotiated work plan may refine

interim sequencing and review dates, but shall preserve these overall completion targets:

By April 1, 2027: Complete the core countywide information collection and assessment, including the

jurisdictional and permitting research, initial permitting and jurisdictional database, filming-locations inventory,

and future Film Commissioner and film-support service-model analysis and recommendations.

By June 1, 2027: Deliver refined and substantially final databases and inventories, publication-ready public

materials, web- and GIS-ready data, and any approved public-facing resources or implementation materials

included in the final contract scope.

By June 30, 2027: Complete final County review comments, corrections, documentation, staff orientation, final

report, and project handoff.

A. Countywide Jurisdictional and Permitting Assessment and Database

The contractor shall identify the public agencies, jurisdictions, property owners, operators, permitting

authorities, and other entities whose authority, ownership, operational role, or approval may affect filming in

Santa Barbara County.

throughout Santa Barbara County. The inventory shall include a reasonable variety of geographic areas,

ownership types, and location categories, including urban, rural, coastal, natural, agricultural, historic,

commercial, institutional, and other settings appropriate to the County.

assists film producers in identifying potential filming locations, understanding permitting requirements,

determining the applicable permitting entities, and connecting with necessary and appropriate contacts.

At a minimum, the contractor shall develop publication-ready content and structured data that the County can

use on its website or in other public-facing systems. The contractor shall also recommend the most

appropriate format and platform or software for presenting and maintaining the information.5

For each recommended measure, the contractor shall identify the definition, available information sources,

responsible entities, collection method, known limitations, County staff responsibilities, and recommended

reporting frequency.

The contractor shall establish baseline information for each measure where reliable data is reasonably

available. When baseline information is unavailable or unreliable, the contractor shall document the limitations

and recommend a practical method for future data collection.

Required deliverables:

paying membership dues.

The contractor shall also identify other professional associations, partnerships, training opportunities, and

industry relationships that may materially support a future County film function.

Required deliverables:

resources and provide a complete handoff to the County. The contractor shall deliver to the County refined

databases, inventories, publication-ready materials, and the other deliverables specified herein by June 1, 2027,

▪ Be sortable and filterable

▪ Identify sources, verification dates, and status

▪ Include clear field definitions

▪ Support export to commonly used formats

▪ Support future GIS or web use where applicable

▪ Avoid unnecessary duplication

▪ Independent outreach and information verification

▪ Database, spreadsheet, inventory, or structured-data development

▪ Public-information, GIS, or web-ready content development

contractor will develop usable information and resources but will not provide ongoing film permitting, production

assistance, location services, or film commissioner services under this contract.

Successful performance will require the ability to independently manage complex research involving multiple

agencies and entities; verify and organize information; communicate effectively with varied stakeholders; develop

maintainable data and public information; and translate the findings into practical recommendations for future

County film services.
