Vendor/Contractor Name (including any “DBA”): Chandler Asset Management                      

 

Type and Scope of services to be performed:

A competitive RFP process was conducted in 2019 by the City’s Purchasing & Procurement Division to obtain investment advisory and consulting services. Chandler Asset Management’s proposal was determined to be the best value with the highest technical score. The requested resolution approves contracting with Chandler to provide services through 2024 if the City executes each renewal period.  Chandler will manage approximately $400 million of the City $5.6 billion investment portfolio and be approximately $240,000 per year. The annual cost represents 0.16% of the annual investment earnings generated by the Investment Team’s management of the portfolio. If all annual renewals are executed, the City will pay Chandler $1,200,000 for the life of the contract (5-years). Chandler has successfully served in this capacity since 2009, and provides investment research analysis, credit analysis, advice, and reporting.
