RFP 27-001 - Legal Services - Addendum 2

The City Schools of Decatur is soliciting proposals under RFP 27-001 for a single law firm to provide comprehensive legal services for both the Board of Education and the district's administrative operations. The objective is to establish a flexible legal services arrangement that includes both Board services and district operational legal support. Proposals must be submitted by October 27, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. EDT, to the Elizabeth Wilson School Support Center in Decatur, Georgia. Submissions must include one original and six printed copies, along with one electronic copy on a USB flash drive and a submission via the designated electronic procurement platform. The selection process involves an administrative evaluation committee of district representatives, with final approval granted by the Board of Education. A critical requirement is the submission of the pricing proposal, including hourly rates by attorney and paralegal classification, retainers, and fee structures, in a separate sealed envelope. All proposal packaging must be clearly labeled with the offeror's name, telephone number, and the solicitation title. Rates are expected to remain firm for the initial contract period unless otherwise accepted by the district.
