Third-Party Recovery & Subrogation Services for Property Damage

The City of Rock Hill, South Carolina is requesting proposals for comprehensive third-party recovery and subrogation services for property damage to municipal assets, with proposals due October 15, 2026.

The scope covers recovery and subrogation efforts for damage to vehicles and mobile equipment, utilities infrastructure (poles, signals, streetlights, signage), water and sewer assets, and real property. The vendor will serve as the City's agent in investigating claims, negotiating settlements, and pursuing legal action to recover damages from responsible third parties and insurance carriers. Proposers must demonstrate experience in third-party recovery and subrogation, possess expertise in subrogation litigation and negotiation, and demonstrate knowledge of South Carolina law.

Evaluation criteria emphasize the proposer's experience managing similar claims across multiple asset categories, proposed fee structure, and ability to manage claims efficiently. The pricing structure should clearly outline the fee arrangement, whether on a contingency basis, hourly rate, or percentage-of-recovery model. The contract includes an initial period with options for renewal. The sample agreement document indicates the vendor's obligations include insurance requirements, indemnification, reporting requirements, claim documentation standards, and transparent accounting of all recovered funds and associated costs. The City anticipates ongoing demand for these services and seeks to establish a long-term relationship with a qualified vendor capable of handling diverse claim types and asset categories.
