Parking Hearing Officers

The City of San Diego is issuing a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) under solicitation number 10090523-27-Y to establish a rotational pool of qualified individual administrative hearing officers. These officers will be contracted on an as-needed basis to preside over parking citation appeal hearings, typically exceeding 1,500 cases annually. Hearings are conducted via telephone, written appeal, and occasionally in person, following the initial review process mandated by California Vehicle Code (CVC) section 40215. Selected officers must provide independent and impartial reviews and utilize the City's Parking Citation Processing System (PCPS) for data retrieval and decision input. To be placed in the pool, candidates must score at least 60 out of 100 possible points, with awards issued in order of the highest scores. Evaluation is based on minimum qualifications, including a mandatory 20-hour training requirement per CVC 40215, relevant adjudication experience, and professional references. The contract is governed by California law and requires adherence to ADA compliance, the Immigrant Worker Protection Act, and specific insurance standards, including an A.M. Best rating of at least A-VI. Payment is issued monthly in arrears, and the total tracked award amount is listed at 25,000 dollars. Submissions must be made electronically through the PlanetBids portal.
