Broker of Record for the City's Property and Casualty Insurance Program

The City of Norwalk, located in Fairfield County, Connecticut, is conducting a Request for Proposal (RFP) to select a Broker of Record for the City's Property and Casualty Insurance program. The solicitation seeks qualified firms to provide comprehensive insurance brokerage services, with detailed requirements to be outlined in Section 2 of the Scope of Work/Project Specifications. The procurement process is structured with a solicitation period from August 29, 2024, at 2:00 PM EDT to September 17, 2024, at 2:00 PM EDT, and a dedicated vendor Q&A period from August 29, 2024, at 2:15 PM EDT to September 9, 2024, at 2:00 PM EDT. Interested vendors must submit their proposals through the Bonfire procurement portal at https://norwalkct.bonfirehub.com/opportunities/152150, with all questions directed to Sharon Conners, the City's procurement contact, at 203-854-7712 or sconners@norwalkct.gov. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the provided documents, vendors can expect to be assessed on their qualifications, expertise in municipal insurance brokerage, and ability to meet the City's property and casualty insurance needs.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on vendor participation. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing insurance infrastructure that might require integration. The RFP documents do not disclose an estimated contract value, budget range, or specific financial parameters for the insurance brokerage services. All vendors are welcome to submit proposals, with the understanding that the full scope of work and specific requirements will be outlined in the detailed solicitation documents available through the Bonfire procurement portal. The lack of specific financial details suggests that pricing and contract terms will be negotiated based on the proposals received and the City's assessment of the most qualified broker for their property and casualty insurance program.
