About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The City of Milton in Santa Rosa County, Florida, is soliciting a Request for Qualifications (RFQ-2025-04) for City Attorney Services through a competitive procurement process. The primary objective is to select a qualified attorney, firm, or corporation to provide comprehensive municipal legal services, with a focus on areas such as drafting agendas, reviewing codes and ordinances, managing agreements and resolutions, and addressing ethics and public records matters. Proposers must be licensed attorneys in good standing with the Florida Bar, with a minimum of three years of legal experience, including at least three years practicing municipal government law. The evaluation will be based on a 100-point scoring system that considers qualifications and experience (25 points), understanding and approach to services (25 points), references (20 points), governmental accounting experience (20 points), and personnel and technology resources (8 points). Proposals are due on March 24, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. CST, and must be submitted to the City of Milton Purchasing Department, with proposals requiring a minimum of five references from business clients or governmental agencies.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations, but does offer 2 bonus points for Certified Minority Firms, which may provide a slight competitive advantage. The contract will require the selected attorney or firm to carry liability insurance and comply with public records laws, with potential for contract renewal contingent upon performance, mutual agreement, and budget appropriations. While no specific budget range is disclosed, the comprehensive scope of services suggests a substantial professional services contract. The successful proposer will be expected to attend City Council meetings, draft and review legal documents, provide counsel to city officials, and handle various legal matters including municipal, labor, litigation, and property issues. The solicitation emphasizes the importance of capability, experience, and the ability to work within established time and budget constraints, indicating a preference for responsive and adaptable legal service providers.
