Project Description

The St. Louis County Port Authority (the “Port”), a political subdivision established under Chapter 68 RSMO, is seeking proposals for qualified legal-services firms to provide outside counsel services, including legal advice, representation, and expertise on various projects and areas of operations on an as needed basis. The Port’s operations focus on promoting economic development in St. Louis County and include real estate redevelopment, community development, and the administration of the Port’s grant program. The St. Louis Economic Development Partnership (the “Partnership”) currently is under contract, to provide full accounting support and day-to-day legal support for the Port.

To further its organizational purposes, the Port requires legal advice, representation, and expertise on various projects and areas of operations (the “Services”). The Port issues this Request for Proposals (the “RFP”) for qualified legal-services firms to provide the Services on an as needed basis during fiscal year 2027 (ending September 30, 2027), fiscal year 2028 (ending September 30, 2028), and fiscal year 2029 (ending September 30, 2029). The contract issued pursuant to this RFP may include a period of up to three (3) years.

Scope of Services
The selected individuals and/or firms should also have the capacity to provide all necessary legal support services to facilitate the effective and efficient operation of the Port. Preference will be given to firms with experience working with community groups, knowledge and experience with the Port’s historic and existing programs, or experience with the development of real estate
investments and assets.

Outside Counsel Services. The Port seeks a qualified attorney or law firm to provide comprehensive outside counsel services to support the legal functions of the Port. The successful attorney or law firm must carry professional malpractice insurance coverage. Any attorney designated to provide any portion of the Services must be a member in good standing of the Missouri Bar.

The selected individuals and/or firms will report to and be managed by the Chair of the Port’s Board of Commissioners.

PLEASE NOTE: The Port will consider proposals from firms able to provide expertise in some or all of the service areas identified above, and the Port reserves the right to select multiple firms. As a result, all interested firms are encouraged to submit proposals, even if a particular firm is not able or interested to provide the entire scope of services.
