7. Recommendation Concerning the Establishment of a Pool of Firms to Provide

Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-21 · agenda_item

Escambia County is planning to establish a pool of firms to provide bond underwriter services. This initiative is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. The county anticipates needing these services to support the financing, refinancing, or restructuring of its debt over an initial five-year term, with options for two one-year renewals. Underwriters will help the county structure, market, and sell bonds for future financing needs. This early stage presents an opportunity for bond underwriting firms to engage with the county before specific transactions are finalized. Early engagement can help firms understand the county's needs and position themselves for potential future work.
