About this opportunity

The City of New Smyrna Beach, Florida is seeking proposals for a tax-exempt, general obligation fixed rate loan of up to $5,500,000 to finance the acquisition of lands along the Turnbull Creek Watershed and fund associated issuance costs. The procurement is being managed by the City's Purchasing Agent with assistance from Hilltop Securities Inc. as the Financial Advisor, who will evaluate all submittals and provide a comprehensive analysis of proposals. Proposals are due on October 15, 2025, at 2:00 pm, with an evaluation meeting scheduled for October 17, 2025, and a loan closing expected on or before November 14, 2025. The loan will have a final maturity date of July 1, 2045, with semiannual interest payments and annual principal payments. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest overall borrowing cost, with specific attention to the loan's terms, conditions, structure, and covenants. Qualified financial institutions are invited to submit proposals for a Bank Qualified (BQ) tax-exempt fixed interest rate loan that offers prepayment flexibility without penalties.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but it does require extensive compliance documentation, including nondiscrimination provisions and equal employment opportunity requirements as outlined in Executive Order 11246. Vendors must complete multiple mandatory forms verifying their eligibility, including E-Verify participation, anti-boycott provisions, and legal attestations regarding organizational standing. The loan will be secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the City, with the ability to levy a direct ad valorem tax to ensure debt service payment. Based on the Preliminary Amortization Schedule, the total principal amount is $5,500,000, with annual principal payments ranging from $259,000 to $398,000 over the 20-year term. The city's financial documents indicate a strong and diverse tax base, with the top 10 taxpayers accounting for only 3.13% of the total assessed taxable value, suggesting financial stability and low concentration risk for the proposed loan.
