CITYWIDE CONSULTANT ROSTER: Human Resources and Workplace Management Consulting

The City of Seattle is establishing a Citywide Consultant Roster for Human Resources and Workplace Management Consulting under solicitation CTY-CR-2025-11 for the 2026-2030 cycle. This roster allows city departments to contract with qualified consultants for specialized services without a formal competitive process for assignments estimated below $410,000. The scope of work is divided into five categories: Human Resources, Management Services, Occupational Safety or Health/Workplace Environment, Race or Social Justice Consultants or Practitioners, and Training or Counseling Services. Priority for the Race or Social Justice category is given to those with experience addressing institutional or structural racism. To qualify, consultants must have completed at least three projects within their applied category and ensure key personnel possess the required professional licenses, certificates, and education. Selected consultants must adhere to strict compliance standards, including Washington state insurance requirements, Seattle's Minimum Wage and Paid Sick and Safe Time ordinances, and WMBE inclusion goals. The agreement includes provisions for audit rights extending six years after final payment and requires notification of security breaches within 24 hours. Applications must be submitted electronically via the City's procurement portal by December 30, 2030.
