About this opportunity
Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners and the Palm Beach County Attorney's Office are soliciting proposals under RFP CA2026-03 for outside counsel in foreclosure and code compliance litigation, with questions due November 19, 2026 and proposals due December 2, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Experience on behalf of local governments in Florida is preferred, not required.
The selected firm must advise and represent the County in obtaining injunctive relief for code violations, foreclosing code compliance liens, recovering money judgments on code liens including accrued interest, and instituting proceedings to achieve code compliance. The firm must have at least two full-time attorneys with a minimum of five years of consecutive experience in foreclosure litigation, and must maintain an office within 50 miles of the County Attorney's Office in West Palm Beach. Firms beyond that distance may be considered with additional justification. Attorneys must be available to County staff during standard business hours. Proposers must register in the County's Vendor Self Service system. Required insurance includes professional liability of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, and commercial general liability of at least $500,000 per occurrence, with Palm Beach County endorsed as an additional insured.
Work is performed on an as-needed basis, and the County does not guarantee a minimum amount of work. Compensation is hourly, with a maximum annual cap of $300,000 for legal services plus up to $30,000 annually for reimbursable expenses, for a total annual maximum of $330,000. Recommended rates are $320 for partners, $200 for associates, and $110 for paralegals. The contract term runs from February 2, 2027 through February 1, 2030, with two optional one-year renewals at the County's discretion. Invoices are submitted monthly through Clio Co-Counsel.
Evaluation allocates 35 points to proposer qualifications and relevant experience, 25 points to team and staff quality, 25 points to fee proposal, and 15 points to location, accessibility, and availability. The Selection Committee meets December 10, 2026, with recommended proposers notified December 11, 2026. The Board of County Commissioners considers final selection at its February 2, 2027 meeting.
