DESCRIPTION


The government authority in Los Angeles, California is seeking proposals for bond underwriting services related to the issuance of voter-approved general obligation bonds and other debt instruments.

The selected vendor will be responsible for pre-issuance services, including pricing, buying, and selling new issue and refunding bonds, holding unsold bonds in inventory, and providing analytical recommendations concerning pricing, investor demand, and distribution strategies. A detailed explanation of requested compensation must also be provided.

During bond sale and distribution, the vendor must commit capital according to their underwriting role, participate in pricing and execution in collaboration with the senior manager and financial advisor, and market bonds to both institutional and retail investors, with efforts to engage local investors where feasible.

Post-issuance services include assisting with settlement and delivery, coordinating with escrow agents and trustees, generating comprehensive reports on sale results and investor distribution, and supporting the district with post-issuance inquiries, audits, or regulatory reviews.
