Financial Advisor Professional Services
Solicitation # RFP198130
The City of Palo Alto is seeking a financial advisor to provide professional services in support of its capital financing initiatives, including potential debt issuances for the Electric Grid Modernization project and the Cubberley Community Center redevelopment. The solicitation, RFP198130, seeks qualified consultants to offer advisory services related to public finance, debt structuring, and capital improvement planning, with an emphasis on experience in California-specific regulatory frameworks such as Proposition 13, Proposition 218, and CDIAC guidelines. The contract will be awarded on a fixed fee basis using a best-value trade-off approach, where technical merit—comprising proposed solution, relevant experience, and proposal quality—collectively accounts for 55% of the evaluation, while cost represents only 10%. Proposers must demonstrate financial stability through audited statements or Dun & Bradstreet reports, maintain insurance with an A.M. Best rating of A:-VII or higher, and comply with stringent requirements for key personnel, including submission of resumes, organizational charts, and restrictions on substitutions. All work must align with professional standards prevalent in California and adhere to public works regulations under the California Labor Code. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov portal by September 15, 2026, and must follow a strict format including a three-page summary, firm profile, qualifications, work plan, staffing details, and a clearly articulated cost proposal. Attachments such as firm experience documentation, financial stability evidence, and insurance certificates are mandatory and must be uploaded separately as PDFs. Compliance with Exhibit requirements is critical: Exhibit A defines scope and deliverables, Exhibit B outlines performance milestones tied to Notice to Proceed, Exhibit D mandates comprehensive insurance coverage with contractual liability and cross-liability provisions, Exhibit E requires DIR registration for public works, and Exhibit H imposes cybersecurity obligations not fully detailed but considered essential. No upfront payments are permitted, and any deviations from the sample agreement must be explicitly justified—substantial exceptions will result in disqualification. The City will manage the contract through its Administrative Services department, with invoices submitted monthly to the designated project manager and funding tracked via budget code, cost center, and CIP identifiers. The contract reflects the City’s commitment to fiscally responsible, transparent, and sustainable infrastructure investment while upholding rigorous standards for procurement integrity and vendor accountability.

Investment Management and Advisory Services
Solicitation # BD-23-1213-MA001-MA001-132092
MassHousing is seeking proposals for investment management and advisory services to actively oversee its Multi-Family and Single-Family bond resolutions, Mortgage Insurance Fund, and Working Capital Accounts. The contract has a base performance period of three years with two optional one-year extensions, potentially extending the engagement to five years, and will be awarded based on a best-value trade-off analysis that considers price alongside non-price factors such as organizational stability, technical capabilities, past performance, culture alignment, and the quality of the proposed work plan. Proposals must be submitted electronically by September 24, 2026, to Waseem Arshad at warshad@masshousing.com, with no hard copies accepted, and must include nine structured sections covering executive summary, experience, culture and values, references, project plan, support, adverse actions, conflicts of interest, and pricing, with no page or word limits imposed. The services require strict adherence to the Prudent Investor Rule under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 203C, compliance with GIPS standards for performance reporting, and submission of standardized electronic trade files in CSV or TXT format as outlined in Exhibit C, containing detailed fields such as CUSIP, trade date, settlement date, and par value. The contractor will be required to comply with stringent information security obligations under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act, implementing robust protections for nonpublic personal information and allowing MassHousing access to audit results upon request. Mandatory background checks will be conducted on all personnel assigned to the contract, and the respondent must fully disclose any actual or potential organizational conflicts of interest, including financial, familial, or operational relationships that could compromise objectivity. While no formal clause numbering from the Federal Acquisition Regulation applies—since this is a state-level solicitation—performance will be evaluated through GIPS-compliant benchmarks, credit rating thresholds for investments (e.g., A-/A3, AAA/Aaa, SP-1/MIG1), and metrics for client retention and assets under management in comparable accounts. The place of performance is MassHousing’s headquarters at One Beacon Street, Boston, MA 02108, and although no specific payment office, invoicing system, or accounting codes are provided, the selected firm must ensure all deliverables, including monthly and quarterly investment statements, meet MassHousing’s internal controls around segregation of duties, dual authorization, and reconciliation policies.
