Risk Management and Insurance Consulting Services

The County of Los Angeles, through the Department of Chief Executive Office, is soliciting Statement of Qualifications under RFSQ CAC 2016-01 to establish a Master Agreement for Risk Management and Insurance Consulting Services. This agreement creates a pool of qualified vendors capable of providing a broad range of services, including actuarial studies, risk management information systems, occupational health projects, workers compensation claims programs, loss control and prevention, and commercial insurance consulting. The selection process is two-tiered: vendors are first qualified for the Master Agreement based on minimum experience and a threshold requirement to support the County's GAIN or GROW programs, and are subsequently awarded specific Work Orders based on the highest-rated bid considering qualifications, approach, cost, and quality control. The contract emphasizes strict compliance with local ordinances, including the Jury Service Program and Fair Chance Employment Hiring Practices. Preference is given to certified Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses, and Local Small Business Enterprises. For services involving SaaS, contractors must maintain daily off-site backups with a two-hour recovery time objective. Administrative requirements include the use of electronic funds transfer for payment, with expedited fifteen-day payment terms available for certified LSBEs. All work and invoicing must be approved by the County's Work Order Director, and performance is monitored at least annually to ensure compliance with the Master Agreement's terms and quality assurance standards.
