Governments at all levels are facing new challenges from complex issues and problems. Property acquisition, economic development, utility and energy production, housing and transportation are just a few of the issues that the public sector of today must address. Yesterday's model of government often does not hold the answer to these problems, and innovative approaches are often necessary to meet them. One constant bridges the past and future: to protect the fiscal and procedural integrity of any selected solution, to maximize its beneficial impact.

At DeCotiis, FitzPatrick, Cole & Wisler, LLP Public Procurement and Contracting Group, our attorneys and professional staff have extensive experience with government at all levels - Federal, State, county and municipal. We know that our public clients need and expect their attorneys to offer cutting-edge options that have a solid legal foundation. Our Firm has assisted governments through complex public/private partnerships, public/public teamings, and independent authority initiatives and unimpeachable integrity. In any given project, the DeCotiis, FitzPatrick, Cole & Wisler, LLP attorneys will handle the development and implementation of Request for Proposals (RFP), Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and other competitive bidding processes; contract negotiation and contract monitoring; negotiation and documentation of public financing transactions; and presentation to governing bodies.

In recent years, some of our major projects have included privatizations of public facilities, public/private road constructions and development projects, and service procurements for local utilities authorities. Our Firm is at the forefront of this rapidly changing area of law, an area that poses valuable opportunities for public entities, but also hazardous pitfalls for the inexperienced or poorly advised client.
