Summary Explanation and Background:
The County has had a contract with Nabors, Giblin & Nickerson, P.A., for Bond Counsel Services since 2010. In March of 2015, Purchasing Services issued a request for proposal for Bond Counsel Services. Five responses were received in response to the request for Proposal. In July 2015 a selection committee evaluated all five responses and selected Nabors, Giblin & Nickerson, P.A. as the highest ranked proposer. On July 22, 2015 a contract with a three-year term and two single year renewal options was executed with Nabors, Giblin & Nickerson, P.A.
The current contract is in its final renewal year and set to expire on July 22, 2020. Purchasing Services is requesting permission to develop a new request for proposal and advertise so that there will not be a break in service between the existing contract and any resulting new contract.
