Municipal Advisory Services

The City of Cincinnati seeks a professional firm to provide comprehensive municipal advisory services over a five‑year period, with two optional one‑year extensions. The advisor will support debt policy implementation, develop and maintain a debt‑capacity model, evaluate refinancing opportunities, coordinate with rating agencies, assist in bond issuance, and offer post‑issuance analysis and ongoing financial‑management advice. The contract also allows for special‑project work as needed. • Core services include debt‑policy compliance, capacity forecasting, financing analysis, rating‑agency liaison, and issuance support. • Deliverables: debt‑capacity model, financial analyses, presentation materials, post‑sale memoranda, and policy recommendations. • Evaluation heavily weighted toward qualifications (50 %) and demonstrated cost‑reduction results (20 %); Ohio presence (20 %) and municipal experience (10 %). • No mandatory MBE/WBE subcontracting goals; optional appendices permitted for additional services or personnel résumés.
