Bond Counsel

Description:

This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) provides to those law firms (“Law Firms”) the opportunity to qualify for inclusion in a Bond Counsel Pool that will be used by School Districts, Community Colleges, Career and Technical Centers and Intermediate Units; and Public/Private Colleges and Universities (collectively “Schools”) to retain Law Firms as Bond Counsel in connection with the issuance of taxable and tax-exempt bonds by the State Public School Building Authority (“SPSBA”) and the Pennsylvania Higher Educational Facilities Authority (“PHEFA”) on an ad hoc basis.

The Commonwealth will select Bond Counsel for inclusion in the Bond Counsel Pool based upon the criterion set forth in this RFQ.

SPSBA and PHEFA have identified a need to establish a standing Bond Counsel Pool to be utilized by Schools to retain Law Firms as Bond Counsel in connection with the issuance of taxable and tax-exempt bonds by SPSBA and PHEFA on an ad hoc basis. For purposes of this RFQ, the Commonwealth will select Bond Counsel for inclusion in the Bond Counsel Pool based upon the criterion set forth in this RFQ. Because this RFQ is only intended to establish a pool of qualified Bond Counsel, there is no guarantee that any Law Firm included in the Bond Counsel Pool will be selected by a School to perform Bond Counsel work for any engagement or receive any work in connection with any engagement.
