New Smyrna Beach is seeking an independent insurance consultant to assess municipal coverage and support a competitive insurance procurement.
- **Buyer:** City of New Smyrna Beach, Florida — Purchasing Department; Volusia County.
- **Requested services:** Review insurance allocations, coverage needs, policies, plan documents, amendments, and overall risk; help prepare and administer an insurance RFP; evaluate proposals and recommend an award; present findings to City staff and the City Commission; and develop annual premium allocations.
