| ERM Risk Consulting and Investment Risk Measurement Services RFQQ # 12-01 |
|
|
The WSIB is issuing a Request for Qualifications and Quotations (RFQQ) and awarding contracts to create a pre-qualified pool (Pool) of qualified firms (contractors)
that can provide ERM risk consulting and investment risk measurement services to meet WSIB's current and future needs on an as-needed project basis. The WSIB seeks to create separate Pools for
vaious specialty risk services.
The role of the contractors will be to cooperatively assist WSIB staff, operating under the direction of the Board, in research and activities pertaining to enterprise risk management and
portfolio risk measurement work.
Firms intending to reply should have (i) proven and robust risk solutions; (ii) experience consulting or working as a service provider for plan sponsors or asset management firms;
and (iii) available expertise and staff resources to assist the WSIB staff. The goal of this procurement is to identify the best suited ERM risk consultants and risk measurement service
providers to further enhance our programs.
This RFQQ will be staged in two phases. The first phase will be for the initial population of Pool A1 for Enterprise Risk Management Consulting (see below). Responses to the RFQQ for the first
phase will be due on January 23, 2012 for optional-use contracts to be executed by February 15, 2012.
The second phase will commence on February 16, 2012 and will run through June 30, 2012 for submittal of proposals from firms interested in being admitted to Pools A1 through A3 as described below. The first
date a firm may submit a proposal during this second phase of this RFQQ is February 16, 2012; the latest date a firm may submit a proposal during this second phase is June 30, 2012. Thus, this second phase will
have a "rolling" submittal date. Depending upon workload and other schedules, the WSIB evaluation panel should be able to evaluate a proposal submitted during this second phase within 15 business days after
receipt.

| The Washington State Investment Board seeks to contract with researchers to create a pre-qualified pool of researchers from
various academic disciplines to provide advisory research and consulting on an as-needed project basis. In addition to
providing ad-hoc research, the WSIB is also interested in establishing a strategic research advisory council made up of a
combination of academics from various disciplines to provide ongoing advice to the WSIB on the establishment and development
of the research program. The WSIB envisions the strategic research advisory council would: |
 |
Advise the WSIB’s research director, management team, and the Board on the development of the research program |
|
Act as a peer to review research methods and advise on conclusions |
|
Meet with WSIB staff and review our analysis several times a year |
|
Help the WSIB to "think outside the box" |
|
Potentially present at an annual research workshop for the Board to highlight findings of the program |
