Galveston County on the lookout for investment consultant

Galveston County, Texas, is searching for an investment consultant for its $115 million defined contribution plan.

The county has issued a request for qualifications on its website for a firm or individual to provide "comprehensive expertise in retirement plans and investment strategies."

The RFQ, which is available on the county's website, does not disclose the name of the current consultant or whether it is invited to rebid. OneAmerica is the plan's record keeper.

Proposals are due at 2 p.m. CDT on July 31. A selection is scheduled for Sept. 1.

Arnie Wetzel, the county's director, human resources, and Rufus G. Crowder, the county's purchasing agent, could not be immediately reached for further information.
