The Federal Highway Administration’s Build America Bureau is conducting market research to identify qualified independent insurance advisors who can support its federal credit programs (TIFIA, RRIF, etc.) across a wide range of infrastructure asset classes. The agency seeks information on firms’ experience, business models, in‑house capabilities, market depth, and capacity to handle concurrent assignments and ongoing insurance renewal monitoring. Respondents must submit a concise (≤ 7‑page) electronic response by the deadline, addressing specific technical questions and optionally providing feedback on acquisition strategy.
• Provide independent lender‑side insurance advisory services—screening, pre‑closing review, negotiation support, post‑closing monitoring, claims/workout, and self‑insurance/captive analysis.
• Demonstrate no conflicts of interest (no brokerage, placement commissions, or contingent compensation).
• Detail in‑house expertise (e.g., CPCU, ARM credentials) across asset classes such as highways, transit, rail, ports, aviation, and TOD.
• Estimate market size, capacity for multiple simultaneous projects, and ability to conduct annual renewal reviews.
• Offer optional feedback on preferred contract vehicles, task‑order structures, and set‑aside considerations.
