Legal Services

The Connecticut Housing Finance Authority (CHFA) has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking legal services from qualified law firms across three specific categories: special counsel, bond counsel, and multifamily closing counsel. This procurement opportunity is open to all vendors and will serve the jurisdictions of Hartford County and Sherman CDP within the state of Connecticut. Interested law firms must submit their electronic proposals by September 27, 2024, at 12:00 p.m. EDT, with full details of the RFP available on CHFA's website under the "About Us" section. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly outlined in the provided documents, the RFP indicates that firms must demonstrate expertise in the designated legal service categories. The solicitation period runs from August 8, 2024, through September 27, 2024, with all responses required to be submitted electronically. Potential respondents are advised to contact Shelly Mondo at CHFA's Rocky Hill office for any questions regarding the solicitation.

The RFP explicitly identifies CHFA as an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer, suggesting a commitment to diverse vendor participation. However, no specific set-aside requirements or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises are detailed in the documentation. The solicitation does not mention incumbent vendors or provide information about existing technological infrastructure that might require integration. Additionally, no estimated total contract value, budget range, or specific financial parameters are disclosed in the available documents. The RFP specifies delivery terms as Free On Board Destination with vendor-specified payment terms, but does not elaborate on contract duration, renewal options, or potential extension provisions. Interested law firms are encouraged to review the complete RFP on CHFA's website to understand the full scope of requirements for providing legal services in the specified categories.
