The City and County of San Francisco (“City”) seeks proposals from consultants demonstrating expertise and successful experience in conducting hearings on various types of appeals and other matters, knowledge of the City of San Francisco Administrative and Municipal Codes and experience with mediation methods and techniques.

The City shall evaluate Proposals to create a Prequalified Pool of Proposers (“Prequalified Pool”). Proposers prequalified under this RFQ are not guaranteed a contract. The City may use the Prequalified Pool, at its sole and absolute discretion, on an as-needed basis.
Anticipated Term of Resulting Contracts The anticipated contract term for contracts resulting from this RFQ may last up to three (3) years, with the option to extend the contract for up to two (2) additional years. Actual contract term may vary but in no case longer than five (5) years depending upon service and project needs at the City’s sole, absolute discretion. Proposers selected for resulting contract(s) must be available to commence work on or before March 31, 2025.
Anticipated Not to Exceed Amount of Resulting Contracts For each contract resulting from this RFQ, the anticipated not-to-exceed contract budget range is between $10,000 to $50,000. Actual contract budget may vary, depending upon service and project needs at the City’s sole and absolute discretion.
