Notice to Attorneys and Law Firms interested in providing legal services to the Maui County Council, The Office of Council Services, The Office of County Auditor, and The Office of County Clerk

The County of Maui, through the Office of Council Services, the Office of the County Auditor, and the Office of the County Clerk, is soliciting letters of interest and statements of qualifications from attorneys and law firms licensed in Hawaii to provide special counsel legal services. This solicitation, numbered 25-010OCS and issued on May 14, 2025, seeks to establish a roster of qualified legal service providers for a contract term extending through June 30, 2026. The scope covers a broad range of legal practice areas including administrative law, ADA compliance, constitutional law, government ethics, labor law, land use, municipal finance, Native Hawaiian rights, public trust doctrine, litigation, and more. Respondents must detail their qualifications, relevant experience, malpractice insurance status, client references (with at least one governmental client), billing policies, and provide contact information in searchable PDF format via email by specified deadlines to be considered for monthly engagements. While no federal acquisition regulations or specific contract clause numbers are incorporated, the contract adheres to Maui County’s general terms and conditions for goods and services contracts as outlined in local statutes and county charter provisions. The procurement process functions as a pre-qualification and sources-sought effort without explicit pricing or evaluation weights disclosed. No socioeconomic size certifications or Unique Entity Identifiers are required, but disclosure of legal malpractice insurance coverage, including any prior denials, is mandatory. The contract does not include options for extension; it covers a fixed period ending June 30, 2026, with performance expected in Hawaii. Submissions must comply with technical requirements including PDF formatting and timely delivery, and the engagement of counsel will be assessed primarily on competency, experience, ethical considerations, and alignment with county needs rather than cost alone.
