RFP_ COUNSEL_PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS/ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW OF CITY PROJECTS

The City of Los Angeles is seeking qualified law firms to provide legal counsel in support of private development projects and the environmental review of city-initiated projects. The contract requires firms to assist the City Attorney’s Office in navigating the legal processes tied to the approval and issuance of entitlements, permits, and other authorizations by key city departments including City Planning, Building and Safety, Bureau of Street Services, and Bureau of Engineering, as well as City Commissions, Boards, Committees, and the City Council. Legal services will encompass advising on compliance with state and local environmental laws, land use regulations, and procedural requirements that facilitate or condition private development, ensuring that city actions are legally sound and defensible. This is not a general legal services contract but one narrowly focused on the intersection of private development activity and public environmental review obligations. Firms interested in this opportunity must submit proposals by August 21, 2026, at 8:00 PM, with responses due by August 22, 2026, at 3:00 AM. The contract is open to new applicants, though firms that previously responded to Solicitation #229168 issued in April 2026 are not required to reapply unless they wish to supplement their prior submissions. All proposals must be submitted through the City of Los Angeles’s official procurement portal, and vendors are responsible for ensuring their registration and compliance with the City’s bidding requirements. The point of contact for inquiries is Aimee Sevilla, and the place of performance is Los Angeles, CA 90012. Bidders should note that while this opportunity is advertised through third-party platforms, official information and submission protocols are governed solely by the City’s procurement systems, and all questions regarding eligibility, content, or process must be directed to the City’s representatives.
