26-0139-2 Annual Contract for Financial Advisory Services
Solicitation # 26-0139-2
Chatham County, Georgia, is soliciting proposals for Municipal and Financial Advisory services under solicitation 26-0139-2. The scope is divided into two distinct service areas: Service Area A focuses on general financial advisory, including the development of financial policies, maintenance and replacement funds, and the structuring of bonds or private placement debt. Service Area B focuses on housing financial advisory, specifically evaluating and financing affordable and workforce housing developments and public-private partnerships. Firms may bid for one or both areas, and the County reserves the right to award these services separately. The contract term is for one year with options for four additional one-year renewals. Selection is based on a competitive sealed proposal method, where the best proposal is determined by a combination of qualitative factors and price rather than the lowest bid. Key requirements include SEC/MSRB Municipal Advisor registration, a commitment to MBE/WBE participation, and the provision of at least five relevant client references. Proposals must remain firm for 60 days from the bid date, and work cannot commence until a written contract is awarded and a Notice to Proceed is issued.

Ben Franklin Transit is soliciting proposals under RFP 26-14 for consultant services to develop a Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) to guide service, operational, and financial strategies for a one to five year period. The project aims to advance near-term priorities from the Long Range Transit Plan, specifically focusing on increasing frequency, expanding service hours, and evaluating on-demand services. A critical component of the engagement is a foundational financial assessment and scenario modeling effort to ensure all service and capital recommendations are fiscally defensible. The primary deliverable is a Board-adopted SRTP, with additional deliverables including the 2028 Annual Service Plan and various technical assets such as scripts and models. The project is structured as a Time-and-Materials contract with a not-to-exceed value of 400,000 dollars. The total performance period is 14 months, beginning with an anticipated award in Q4 2026 and concluding with the final plan adoption in Q1 2028. The work is divided into three main phases: system assessment, plan development, and implementation. Proposals are due by October 12, 2026, via the OpenGov portal and will be evaluated based on technical approach, project management, and stakeholder engagement. The selected contractor must ensure compliance with FTA and Title VI requirements and account for existing collective bargaining agreements regarding general demand work in Prosser and Benton City.

Full Description

Ben Franklin Transit (BFT) seeks consultant services to develop a Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) to guide transit service, operational, and financial strategies for the next 1–5 years. The SRTP is both a strategic guide and a practical resource document: it identifies proposed service changes at the route level, specifies the headcount and operator resources required to deliver those changes, and provides the capital and financial inputs that feed BFT's hiring plans, fleet procurement, and annual budgeting. A clear and reliable financial picture is foundational to this effort: BFT needs a defensible understanding of its current and projected financial position to evaluate the feasibility of every service, resource, and capital recommendation in this plan. The financial assessment and scenario modeling described in this scope (Section 5) should be treated as a foundational input that the rest of the plan builds on, not a standalone analysis. The primary deliverable of this engagement is the Short Range Transit Plan, a standalone, Board-adopted document structured for future integration as a dedicated section or appendix of BFT's annual Transit Development Plan (TDP). All analyses, reports, and supporting documents produced during this engagement exist to inform and populate the SRTP.
