About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Legal Services for Finance, specifically seeking an attorney or law firm to serve as Finance Department Counsel at Orlando International Airport. The procurement covers legal services spanning a five-year contract period beginning approximately December 1, 2023, with comprehensive responsibilities including advising on public entity finance issues, attending Finance Committee meetings, reviewing and drafting board meeting agenda items, negotiating financial agreements, and coordinating with the Authority's General Counsel. Proposed hourly billable rates are structured across different professional levels: Specialty Counsel at $405/hour, Partners at $345/hour, Associates at $265/hour, and Paralegals at $162/hour. Respondents must submit detailed proposals by September 12, 2023, at 11:00 AM EST, including firm experience, key personnel qualifications, references, insurance coverage, and a transition plan. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on the firm's expertise, qualifications of key personnel, understanding of the project scope, and ability to meet the Aviation Authority's specific legal service needs.

The solicitation appears to be open to all qualified legal firms without specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions. The contract is non-exclusive, allowing GOAA to contract with other providers for similar services as needed, and includes provisions for termination with 30 days' notice. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the hourly rate structure suggests potential significant investment in legal services over the five-year period. The contract allows for potential rate adjustments by the Aviation Authority Board, though rates cannot be adjusted downward from the initially proposed levels. Interested firms should be prepared to demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in public entity finance law, with particular emphasis on airport and aviation-related legal expertise. The virtual proposal opening is scheduled for the same date and time as the submission deadline, indicating a transparent and structured procurement process.
