PURPOSE 

The following Request for Proposals (RFP) has been developed to solicit proposals from experienced Law Firms to provide City Attorney Services to the City of Naples.

BACKGROUND

The City is seeking a knowledgeable, well-qualified, licensed Firm, experienced in city, county, and local government law for the provision of legal services as City Attorney for the City of Naples, Florida.

The City of Naples is a Municipal Corporation with an annual budget in excess of $150 million, employing over 450 people, operating a police department, fire department, water and sewer utility, parks and recreation facilities, a municipal dock, City pier, providing other services, and maintaining over 100 miles of public rights of way, roads, and sidewalks.  The City is bound by over 350 contracts and interlocal agreements that expire, change, and may be cancelled or extended, with new contracts to be drafted, negotiated, and agreed upon.  Local laws are adopted and enforced compelling or restricting certain activities with enforcement by police officers, code enforcement officers, court actions, or other means.  The City itself must comply with applicable laws and rules enacted by the State and Federal governments.  The governing body meets regularly taking actions on a scheduled agenda with a variety of items that include quasi-judicial determinations.  All of this creates a substantial risk for litigation and significant need for legal advice and counsel.
