About this opportunity
Volusia County is requesting proposals from a qualified consulting firm to design, develop, and assist in implementing a Non-Ad Valorem Assessment Fee Program for fire protection and rescue services, with proposals due July 28, 2026. The program will fund all or a designated portion of Volusia County Fire Rescue services across unincorporated Volusia County, the city of Oak Hill, and the town of Pierson.
The consultant must establish a fair, equitable, and proportional rate structure that complies with Florida Statute 197.3632 and Florida Statute 125.01. This is the core compliance requirement and a primary differentiator among proposers. The work encompasses program design, development, and implementation support for a non-ad valorem assessment fee structure—a specialized municipal finance tool requiring demonstrated expertise in Florida statutory framework and case law governing property-tax alternatives.
The contract files (26-SQ-104AK) and supporting documents, including insurance requirements and prime-subcontractor disclosure forms, are attached. Proposers must meet specified types and limits of insurance coverage as detailed in the insurance chart. The selection process will evaluate capability to navigate Florida-specific assessment law, structure fairness and equity analysis, and implementation strategy.
Questions are due by July 28, 2026. Contract value, term length, and evaluation criteria weights are not stated in the available source material.
