Request for Qualifications – Bond Counsel Services

The purpose of this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is to solicit proposals from interested and qualified attorneys to serve as bond counsel or co-bond counsel to the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (the “Authority”).  Selected firms may be engaged in connection with the issuance of bonds or notes and, from time to time, other instruments used by the Authority.

Since 2022, the Authority implemented a co-bond counsel structure for its multifamily and single-family debt issuances.  Under this approach, engagements include both a lead co-bond counsel and a secondary co-bond counsel.  The primary objective of this structure is to expand opportunities for MBE, DVB, and WBE firms to develop expertise in the municipal housing sector.

The Authority intends to use the results of this RFQ to establish a roster of qualified firms that may be called upon.  WHEDA is open to different options, but may continue with the co-bond counsel structure described above for most bond issues.  The Authority, in its sole discretion, will determine which firm or firms to engage for any particular assignment. 

RFQ is due:               July 22nd, 2026, 2:00 p.m. C.D.T.
Questions are due:  July 8th, 2026, 2:00 p.m. C.D.T.
