About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The City of Scranton, Pennsylvania is issuing Request for Proposal #2023-RFP-099 for Delinquency Collection Legal Services. This procurement solicits proposals from individual practitioners or litigation firms with demonstrated expertise in collections and municipal law to provide comprehensive legal representation for the City's delinquency collection activities. The scope of services encompasses the collection of refuse fees, real estate taxes, other municipal taxes, license fees, and municipal liens, with potential litigation activities as needed. Selected respondents must possess sufficient qualified legal, administrative, and clerical support staff, demonstrate technological capabilities for efficient service delivery, and provide monthly accounting reports detailing collection activities. The City emphasizes the importance of equitable collections programs, including hardship programs and de minimis delinquency policies, while treating residents with dignity, respect, empathy, and fairness. The contract term is contemplated as five years with an optional one-year renewal at the City's discretion. The proposal deadline is September 15, 2023, at 10:00 AM, with submissions required electronically through the City's e-Procurement Portal at https://secure.procurenow.com/portal/scrantonpa. Questions regarding the RFP were due by September 8, 2023. All proposals must include a certificate of insurance, signed affirmative action and non-segregated facilities affidavits, non-collusion affidavits, and disclosure statements from current contractors.

The RFP does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to particular business classifications, such as disadvantaged or minority-owned enterprises, based on available documentation. No incumbent contractor information or current service provider details are referenced in the solicitation materials. The City's procurement documentation indicates a strong preference for a remuneration model wherein the selected legal firm withholds a portion of each remittance and is not subject to additional costs for outstanding accounts upon contract termination, suggesting a contingency-based or hybrid fee structure; however, specific pricing details, budget ranges, or anticipated award values are not disclosed in the available RFP summary. Prospective respondents must register on the City's e-Procurement Portal and "Follow" the project to receive addenda notifications and to enable participation in the solicitation process.
