Palm Beach County is planning to establish a pool of pre-qualified investment banking firms. These firms will serve as senior managers and co-managers for the county's negotiated sale of tax-exempt and taxable municipal bonds, as well as other financing transactions. This selection process will be conducted according to Request for Proposal (RFP) NO. 26-OFMB1/MB. The item is currently under review, with staff recommending approval. This process will set up ongoing opportunities for financial services related to municipal bond sales and other county financing needs. Local businesses in financial services, particularly those specializing in investment banking and municipal finance, should consider engaging with the county early to understand the scope and timing of future financing needs.
