10-BFZ26-00029361 Bond and Disclosure Counsel Services.xlsx

This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the City of Dallas, Texas, for bond counsel and disclosure counsel legal services. The City seeks to award one or more five-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contracts for bond counsel services to experienced law firms or teams of firms capable of providing legal opinions, document preparation, negotiation, and review related to municipal bond issuances, including general obligation and enterprise bonds. Concurrently, the City will award one five-year ID/IQ contract for disclosure counsel services addressing primary offerings and secondary market disclosures. A single law firm or team cannot be awarded both bond counsel and disclosure counsel contracts; however, if a firm qualifies for multiple bond counsel categories, the City retains sole discretion in assigning the firm to general obligation bonds, enterprise bonds, or disclosure counsel. Services will be provided on an as-needed basis throughout the contract term, with the number of contracts awarded and the distribution of bond issues among teams determined at the City's discretion.

The RFQ process establishes an ID/IQ agreement structure appropriate when service quantities and delivery schedules cannot be predetermined. The document provided includes an extensive list of legal services firms and professionals across the United States with expertise in bond counsel, disclosure counsel, legal consulting, professional training, settlements, and financial statement preparation. Pricing terms, specific funding sources, and other financial details are not specified in this summary document, as the RFQ focuses on qualification criteria and contract structure. Interested firms must submit comprehensive qualifications demonstrating experience in municipal finance, bond issuance, regulatory compliance, and disclosure obligations to be considered for these five-year contracts with the City of Dallas.
