About this opportunity

Brevard County, Florida, is seeking proposals for Disclosure Counsel Services through RFP 1-26-04, targeting law firms with extensive experience in municipal bond law. The primary objective is to secure legal counsel to assist the County with its debt obligations, including reviewing bond documents, preparing preliminary and official statements, and developing continuing disclosure agreements under Securities Exchange Act Section 15c2-12. Qualified firms must demonstrate expertise in municipal bond law, with specific capabilities in advising on debt structuring, material event disclosures, and monitoring federal and state disclosure legislation. Proposals are due by 4:00 p.m. EST on January 15, 2026, and must be submitted as three hard copies and one electronic copy. The evaluation criteria are comprehensive, with 30 points each for Experience/Qualifications/Background and Resources/Key Personnel, 20 points for References, and 20 points for Professional Fee Structure. Proposers must provide three to five Florida governmental client references from work performed within the last five years, and questions regarding the RFP must be submitted by January 8, 2026, at 5:00 p.m.

The contract will have a five-year term with no specified renewal options, and there are no explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. Firms must provide a professional fee structure with tiered pricing based on bond issue size: up to $10,000,000, $10,000,000 to $40,000,000, and over $40,000,000, along with an hourly rate for additional services. Insurance requirements are stringent, including General Liability ($1,000,000), Auto Liability ($1,000,000), Professional Liability ($2,000,000 per claim with four-year tail coverage), and Cyber Liability ($5,000,000 per claim). While no specific budget range is mentioned, the County will evaluate pricing after qualitative factors, with the lowest-cost proposal receiving maximum points. The contract includes standard compliance requirements such as E-Verify verification, non-discrimination provisions, and adherence to Florida Statutes regarding foreign country concerns and anti-human trafficking attestations.
