The District is seeking proposals from a Vendor to provide claims management services and expertise, for
the adjustment of large or complex losses, including first-party damage and third-party liability and property
damage loss adjustment, to the Risk Management Section of Human Resources Department. This Vendor
shall serve on an as-needed basis with case assignment on a case-by-case basis for a three-year period. A
description of the required services is provided in the proposal document, Section II, Scope of Work. The
contract for this Request for Proposal (RFP) shall be for the three-year period beginning November 15,
2026 and may be extended, at the option of the District, for one (1) additional two (2) year period at the
same prices submitted in the Cost Proposal (Appendix A), subject to District Board approval. Funding of
this contract for all years is contingent upon the approval of the budget by the District’s Board of
Commissioners.
Affirmative Action Goals will not be included in this RFP due to the scope of work to be performed
under this contract.
The total value of the RFP is not to exceed $150,000.00, and the District intends to award the purchase
order for that amount. Payments will be based on the unit prices as submitted in the proposal. There is no
guarantee that the District will expend the full value of $150,000.00. The Human Resources Department
will place orders for services on an as needed basis during the term of the contract.
Copies of the Request for Proposal are only available online from the District’s website at www.mwrd.org

Further, the District assumes no liability or responsibility for the failure or inability of any Proposer to
successfully download any and all contract documents, including but not limited to specifications, proposal
forms and/or plans, as a result of any type of technological computer and/or software system failure or
breakdown that restricts, prohibits or prevents successful downloading of any and all District contract
documents by the Proposer, whether caused by the District or other parties, directly or indirectly.
Proposers are to include with their proposal signed copies of any addenda, or acknowledge receipt of any
addenda, if the District issued any addenda to this contract. Failure to do so may be cause for the rejection
of any bid. Bidding documents are available only online, and any addenda issued for this contract will be
available online at the District’s website, www.mwrd.org (Doing Business→Procurement and Materials
Management→Contract Announcements). Addenda will also be emailed/faxed to each person receiving a
set of such contract documents and to such other prospective Proposers as shall have requested that they be
furnished with a copy of the addenda.
If any potential Proposer contemplating to submit a proposal is in doubt as to the true meaning of any part
of the specifications or other contract documents, such inquiry should be submitted online at the District’s
website, www.mwrd.org. The path is as follows: Doing Business→Procurement and Materials
Management→Contract Announcements. The District will provide an online response to such inquiries, as
the District deems appropriate. Strings of appropriate questions and answers regarding the bidding
documents will be available online on the District’s website until the bid opening date of the bidding
documents. No questions will be accepted by telephone, fax, email, mail, or any other such form of delivery.
The District will only respond to questions received online up to ONE WEEK prior to the date set to receive
proposals. The District will not respond to questions received after this date. The District does not guarantee
the timeliness of responses provided online, nor does the District guarantee that such responses will be
provided in adequate time to affect the submission of bids. The District shall provide responses online
ONLY if the responses do not interpret or otherwise change the bidding documents.
The District’s responses online are NOT official responses and, therefore, are not binding to the bidding
documents. Any official interpretation or change to the bidding documents will be made only by addenda
duly issued to all plan holders on record by the Director of Procurement and Materials Management.
The contact person for the request for proposal is Brittney Wyatt, Risk Manager. This contact person will
provide online responses to online inquiries.
The District reserves the right to accept any Request for Proposal or any part thereof or to reject any and
all Request for Proposals.
