REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS EXTENSION

LEGAL SERVICES

The Town of Hempstead Department of Planning and Economic Development

requests proposals from law firms to provide legal services for various activities which

the Department undertakes. The Department receives funding under the U.S. Department

of Housing and Urban Development, Community Development Block Grant Program,

and conducts extensive urban renewal within the unincorporated areas of the Town of

Hempstead.

Proposals should highlight experience in at least one of three areas: 1) real property

actions, including condemnation, zoning, subdivision, conveyance and development; 2)

federal regulations governing community development, and/or 3) experience in municipal

law.

Professional services will be paid for on an hourly basis, except that the Department

reserves the right to establish cost control measures such as fee ceilings per assignment.

Disbursements for appraisals, surveys, filing fees, stenographers, etc., will be reimbursed

separately from the legal fees.

The legal firms selected will have contracts for one (1) year upon approval by the Town

Board. The contract will include an option for the Town, in its sole discretion, to extend

said contract for an additional year. The option should not be deemed a renewal or

extension, but a part of the original contract. Minority and women Owned Firms are

encouraged to participate.

Proposals will be evaluated based upon your firm’s knowledge and experience in the

aforementioned areas of law, availability of staff, fee schedule, and experience with

municipalities.

The Town reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and request further information

from respondents. All submissions will be the property of the Town and are subject to

public disclosure to the extent of the New York State Freedom of Information Law

(FOIL)

Further, the following information is required to be part of the proposal:

1. Name of organization, location(s) and name(s) of principal(s).

2. Specific staff available to the Department.

3. List of applicable work experience within the Town of Hempstead

(incorporated and unincorporated areas), Nassau and Suffolk Counties

and elsewhere.

4. Fee schedule.

Four (4) copies of your proposal are to be received at 200 N. Franklin Street, Hempstead,

NY 11550 no later than 4:00 P.M. on Friday, February 27, 2026.
