The City of Fort Myers is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP 26-010) to establish a diverse pool of qualified investment banking and bond underwriting firms to assist with municipal bond issues supporting capital projects and refinancing existing debt. The competitive solicitation, posted in December 2025 with a submission deadline in January 2026, invites firms to demonstrate strong credentials in municipal finance, including capabilities in bond structuring, marketing, legal and credit analysis, and closing support. The City prioritizes firms with proven experience tailored to public sector finance, mandating compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Key elements of the contract include a three-year initial term with renewal options, requirements for adherence to nondiscrimination policies, labor standards such as Davis-Bacon wage rules, and certifications related to suspension, debarment, and affirmative action goals. Evaluation of proposals employs a best-value approach, focusing heavily on pricing, capital commitment, firm qualifications, and personnel expertise, with weighted criteria ensuring selection of firms that offer both technical proficiency and cost-effectiveness. To promote equity and encourage minority- and women-owned business participation, local and minority preference affidavits and certifications are integral to the process. Contract administration will be coordinated by the City’s Financial Services office, with invoices submitted electronically and monitored for compliance. The contract documents emphasize regulatory compliance, including the incorporation of federal and state supplementary conditions, Build America, Buy America provisions, and stipulations for transparency in marketing and distribution capabilities. Communications with City officials are restricted during the evaluation phase to maintain fairness. Ultimately, the contract aims to secure a pool of seasoned underwriters capable of meeting the City’s dynamic financing needs over the contract lifecycle.
