Public Finance Practice is focused on helping muncipalities manage their costs and minimize risks associated with
their debt programs and the financial services they purchase to support their captial market activities. While many issuers have traditionally relied on
bankers and other advisors to assist in these matters, it is the growing complexity of these services coupled with the rapid
consolidation of the services industry that is driving clients to consider Orchard Street Partners for assistance
. . Our offerings include: . Administrative Services Advisory The operating environment
within the finance department of many active municipal departments and agencies has become increasingly complex.
We offer clients the opportunity to explore "best practice" methodologies for third party services, without the
high pressured sales environment that they have to endure in a self-managed vendor selection process. . Orchard Street Partners offers our clients unsurpassed
levels of experience in creating efficient, state-of-the-art operating environments for the management of their financing
programs. These services include the development of optimal reporting and connectivity schemes with each of the banks
and agents that support bond trustee, custody, cash management and reporting services. . Transaction
Management Services In connection with new financings, Orchard Street Partners offers our clients and their advisors the ability
to draw on our experience and our resources to assist in assessing the many services-related logistics associated with a new securities
program; services that are increasingly more complex and which, too often, are given only secondary levels
of attention. Assisting
in areas including documentation coordination, identifying specialized technologies to support a financing, the
selection of service vendors for a program and the setting-up of investor reporting schemes, Orchard Street Partners
can fill a valuable gap in an agency's current support structure and can be the extra pair of hands that will help your
program lift off smoothly. . Banking Services Evaluation Program Although many issuers are familiar with the process
associated with selecting a trustee, custodian or other agent to support a new financing or their treasury operation,
the recent and continued consolidation in the banking industry is creating uncertainty for many issuers as they
struggle with both service quality and the basic knowledge of who is committed and qualified to provide
these services and, most importantly, who is prepeared to perform the specific service requirements in their
programs. . Our unique program
allows issuers to ensure that the service levels for their existing programs are meeting contractual parameters and that their
trustee, custodian or agent has both the capabilities and the strategic commitment to continue to support their
programs into the future. We also ensure that the economics for each of these services are appropriate and in market.
