DESCRIPTION

The government authority in Alameda, California is seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive evaluation services for its treasury pool. The selected firm will assess investment decisions and historical performance of the pool, conduct peer review comparisons with other public investment pools, and perform simulations using alternative or best-practice investment strategies and models.

The scope also includes the evaluation of performance benchmarks, with recommendations regarding industry best practices for benchmarking public investment pools. A review of the county treasurer’s historical reporting practices will be conducted, assessing any changes in methodologies or benchmarks over time and the overall transparency and effectiveness of reporting mechanisms.

Additionally, the evaluation should address investment advisory structures utilized by peer organizations, including governance models and the involvement of third-party investment advisors. The analysis will consider the potential impacts of the county’s newly adopted, but not yet implemented, ethical investment policy—drawing on examples from other public entities to evaluate effects on investment performance, risk management, and portfolio composition.

A pre-bid conference is scheduled for May 4, 2026, and the contract period will be for one year.
