Legal Services for Tax Sale

The Town of Brookfield, Connecticut, through its Tax Collector's Office, is seeking legal services for the collection of delinquent tax, utility, and similar accounts via a Sale of Land for Taxes (the Sale) in 2023. This procurement, identified as RFP T-23-11, is being conducted pursuant to Connecticut General Statutes 12-155 and 12-157, with the goal of selecting a legal service provider to oversee all aspects of the tax sale process. The successful bidder will be responsible for comprehensive tasks including generating demand letters, conducting title searches, and managing the property auction for approximately 36 properties, though this number may change prior to the sale. The solicitation opened on December 20, 2022, and proposals are due by January 18, 2023, at 11:00 AM EST. Interested parties are required to submit sealed proposals, with Julian Capadose from the Brookfield Town purchasing office serving as the primary contact for any questions or additional information.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations, vendor restrictions, or preferences for disadvantaged enterprises. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure that might require integration. The solicitation is open to all vendors and does not list any specific evaluation criteria beyond the basic requirement of providing comprehensive legal services for the tax sale process. Payment terms will be vendor-specified, with delivery terms set as Free On Board Destination. While the RFP includes multiple iterations of the solicitation document, none provide an estimated total contract value or specific budget range for the legal services. The contract appears to be a single-year engagement for the 2023 tax sale, with no mention of potential renewals or multi-year options.
