CONTRACT 25-RFP-04
The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (“District”) requests proposals from
any prospective Proposer for the above captioned subject which is described in document 25-RFP-04.
PROPOSALS ARE DUE: April 18, 2025.
Sealed proposals will be submitted to the District via an electronic upload to the Bonfire Portal only.
See “Submission Via the Bonfire Portal” for instructions. Proposals will be accepted from the date of
the Invitation to Bid, up to 11:00 A.M. Central Time (“CT”), on April 18, 2025 as stated above. Bids
will be deemed non-responsive if not submitted using the Bonfire-project specific URL link, provided
by the District.
No proposals will be accepted after 11:00 A.M. CT on the above scheduled due date. Faxed,
mailed, emailed, or hand-delivered proposals will not be accepted. There is no Bid Depository
safe for this purpose.
The objective of this Request for Proposal (“RFP”) is to identify qualified financial advisory firms as
eligible to provide financial advisory services related to the District’s financing program for the next
five years. Services requested include: (a) other financial consulting services not related to bond sale
transactions including selection as the District’s Independent Registered Municipal Advisor
(“IRMA”).; (b) bond sale transaction advisory services.
The estimated cost for the consulting services for the five years is $180,000, which excludes any costs
related to bond sale transactions. Any bond sale related costs will be subject to separate approval by
the Board of Commissioners. Fees related to advisory services on bond sales will be based on a rate
per $1,000 bond. No bid deposit is required.
Copies of the Request for Proposal are only available online from the District’s website at
www.mwrd.org (DOING BUSINESS PROCUREMENT & MATERIALS MANAGEMENT
CONTRACT ANNOUNCEMENTS). No fee is required for the Request for Proposal documents. Any
questions regarding the downloading of Request for Proposal documents should be directed to

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
BusinessProcurement and Materials ManagementContract 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 BusinessProcurement and

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

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.

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
