About this opportunity

The City of Oviedo, Florida, located in Seminole County, is seeking proposals from qualified financial institutions for a non-bank qualified, tax-exempt bank loan through Request for Proposals (RFP) #25-32. The procurement is specifically targeting a bank loan to fund capital improvements to the city's stormwater utility system and cover associated issuance costs. Two loan options are being considered: Option A is an interim variable rate line of credit not exceeding $10,000,000, and Option B is a fixed-rate term loan not exceeding $17,700,000. Both options will be subordinate or on parity with existing senior lien utility revenue bonds. The proposal submission deadline was initially set for April 18, 2025, but was extended to April 22, 2025, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time. Proposals must be delivered via email to Jacqueta Scott, Procurement Manager, with a copy to Joel Tindal at HilltopSecurities. The city will evaluate proposals based on the lowest overall borrowing cost and alignment with financial requirements. Qualified financial institutions must demonstrate the ability to provide flexible loan terms, including potential prepayment without penalty and adaptable repayment structures.

The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Five financial institutions have submitted proposals: Bank of America, N.A., Regions Capital Advantage, Inc., TD Public Finance LLC, Truist Commercial Equity, Inc., and Webster Bank, N.A. The loan is specifically tied to stormwater projects related to damages from Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Milton, with an estimated reimbursable cost of approximately $5,143,565. The loan will be secured by net revenues from the utility system but will not be secured by system development charges. The city plans to use the loan proceeds for three specific stormwater projects on East Magnolia Street, McKinnon Ditch/McKinnon Avenue, and Panther Street/Carissa Street, though FEMA project worksheets are not yet formally obligated. The expected loan closing date is May 22, 2025, with Option A featuring a variable tax-exempt interest rate and approximately a 3-year term, and Option B offering a fixed tax-exempt interest rate with a final maturity date of October 1, 2040.
