The FWCJUA is issuing a Request for Qualifications for the purpose of engaging a reputable reinsurance intermediary to advise and assist the FWCJUA with reinsurance matters, to include the placement of its reinsurance program. An entity responding to provide reinsurance intermediary services must be authorized to provide said services in accordance with Section 626.7492, Florida Statutes. The FWCJUA is not a state agency. Accordingly, the RFQ process is not governed by the contracting procedures applicable to state agencies set forth in Florida Statutes and rules. Any entity which responds to the RFQ must expressly acknowledge in its response its understanding that the contracting procedure requirements which apply to state agencies do not apply to the FWCJUA. Interested parties may obtain the RFQ on or after April 11, 2008, by written request to: Laura Torrence, Executive Director, FWCJUA,
