Broker Services for Property Insurance

Jackson County, Missouri, is soliciting proposals for Broker Services for Property Insurance to support its Finance Department. The contract is designed for an initial twelve-month term starting October 1, 2024, with four optional one-year extensions, though continuation beyond the calendar year is contingent upon the allocation of County funds. The scope involves managing property insurance for a diverse portfolio of real estate assets, including courthouses, parks, and museums, as well as specialized equipment such as high-performance commercial boilers. Proposals must be submitted digitally via the Bonfire Portal by August 27, 2024, and must include a cover letter, experience qualifications, at least three references, and pricing. Award decisions will be based on a trade-off approach rather than the lowest price, with evaluation weights assigned to pricing (45 points), experience and qualifications (40 points), references (10 points), and MBE/WBE/VBE participation (5 points). Contractors are required to comply with strict affirmative action goals for Minority, Women, and Veteran-Owned Business Enterprises and must maintain specific insurance coverages, including Commercial General Liability of $1M per occurrence and Commercial Automobile Liability of $1M. Additionally, the successful respondent must operate within the Greater Kansas City Metropolitan Area and remain current on all local taxes to be eligible for the award.
