About this file
This is a Request for Proposals document for the City of Rock Hill, South Carolina, seeking qualified firms to provide comprehensive third-party recovery and subrogation services for property damage claims involving City assets. The scope of services encompasses recovery and subrogation efforts for damage to vehicles and mobile equipment, utilities infrastructure (including poles, signals, streetlights, and signage), water and sewer assets, and real property. The City anticipates ongoing demand for these services to maximize recovery of funds from responsible third parties and insurance carriers. Proposals must be submitted by the specified deadline, with evaluation criteria focusing on the proposer's experience in third-party recovery and subrogation, knowledge of South Carolina law, proposed fee structures, and ability to manage claims efficiently. The anticipated contract term includes an initial period with options for renewal to ensure continuity of services.
The pricing structure should clearly outline the fee arrangement, whether on a contingency basis, hourly rate, or percentage-of-recovery model. Proposers must demonstrate relevant experience managing similar claims and possess expertise in subrogation litigation and negotiation. The City seeks to establish a long-term relationship with a qualified vendor capable of handling multiple asset categories and claim types. There are no identified set-asides, and the incumbent status and specific funding sources are not detailed in the available documentation. Interested firms should ensure compliance with all City procurement requirements and provide references demonstrating successful third-party recovery outcomes on comparable municipal contracts.
