NOTICE FOR HIRING PUBLIC FINANCE COUNSEL
The City of Strawn (“City”) will be considering the approval of a contingent fee contract for legal services (“Legal Services Contract”) with Bickerstaff Heath Delgado Acosta LLP (“BHDA”) at the regular meeting of the Council of the City to be held on November 10th, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. at 118 East Housley St, Strawn, Texas 76475. The approval of the Legal Services Contract will be considered in connection with the City’s application for and receipt of financing from the Texas Water Development Board for certain water improvements through funding from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Lead Service Line Replacement Program (such public securities and grants together hereafter, the “TWDB Financing”).
Specialized legal services are required to compete the TWDB Financing, and the City does not have legal staff with the particular experience that lends itself to an efficient financial transaction that best serves the needs of the City. The City is considering engaging BHDA under a contingent fee contract, which is the type of contract that is customary for legal services of the type required for the TWDB Financing. Because specialized legal representation is needed for the efficient completion of the TWDB Financing and such services are typically provided on a contingent fee rather than hourly basis, and because BHDA is qualified, competent, and experienced in such legal matters, the engagement of BHDA in connection with the TWDB Financing is in the best interests of the City.
