Administrative Hearing Officer Services – Parking Citation Adjudication

The City of San Diego’s Purchasing & Contracting Department is seeking qualified administrative hearing officers to provide impartial, on-demand hearings for appeals of parking citations, ensuring full compliance with due process standards. These services will be delivered on a rotational, as-needed basis to meet fluctuating demand, requiring officers to conduct fair, efficient, and timely adjudications of disputed citations without bias or delay. The work is performance-based and must adhere to established procedural and legal frameworks to maintain transparency and public trust in the citation appeals process. The contract is classified under NAICS code 921190 and is structured as a subcontract, with proposals due by August 25, 2026. There is no set-aside designation or specific geographic restrictions noted beyond the general performance location within San Diego. Interested parties must demonstrate experience in administrative adjudication, familiarity with municipal parking regulations, and the ability to handle high-volume caseloads with consistency and neutrality. All hearing officers will be expected to operate independently, maintain detailed records, and deliver outcomes that reflect legal accuracy and procedural integrity under the oversight of the city’s contracting authority.
