Proposal_Response_Cover_Sheet_with_Signature_.docx

This is a Proposal Response Cover Sheet for a Request for Proposals issued by Leon County, Florida, for comprehensive insurance brokerage and risk management services. The County is seeking a qualified firm to provide proactive account management, strategic risk management guidance, insurance market expertise, and responsive service to meet high performance standards throughout the term of the agreement. The solicitation emphasizes that time is of the essence, and the County intends to proceed expeditiously through the procurement process. Proposers must submit written proposals detailing their qualifications, experience, resources, and approach to servicing the County's insurance and risk management needs. The selected firm must not market insurance coverages or contact insurers unless and until Broker of Record authorization is issued by the County; failure to comply may result in disqualification.

The County seeks a multi-year, flat-fee brokerage services agreement with all compensation terms fully disclosed in the proposal and incorporated into the resulting agreement without modification. Any commission payments directly attributable to insurance placement or procurement for the County shall be credited against fees owed under the agreement, with excess commissions promptly remitted to the County. The selected broker will not be responsible for the County's employee health insurance program, and the County reserves the right to procure any line of insurance coverage outside the broker services agreement without affecting broker compensation. The cover sheet requires contractors to provide firm name, authorized representative information, project manager details, and notice contact information for contract administration purposes.
