RPOSD RFSQ For As-Needed Consultant Services

The Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD) has issued a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) to establish a pool of qualified consultants for as-needed services spanning multiple categories including communication and event support, community outreach, document digitization and management, financial and assessment support, GIS and mapping, grant writing, management consulting, park planning and policy, program evaluation and compliance, project technical assistance, and website development. Issued in June 2025 under solicitation number RPOSD-CONSULTANTS-2025-2, the pool will enable RPOSD to efficiently procure expertise on an ongoing basis through individual Work Orders, each defining specific tasks, deliverables, and periods of performance up to the master agreement expiration on August 30, 2030. The solicitation encourages submissions throughout the open period, with a final deadline in February 2030, via electronic submission of a single consolidated PDF containing qualifications, organizational forms, and supporting documentation, with strict formatting and page limits. This contract mechanism is structured as a Master Agreement without firm pricing or fixed contract value at the solicitation stage, allowing flexible issuance of Work Orders based on RPOSD’s operational needs. Proposals must demonstrate key personnel qualifications, organizational transparency, and compliance with county requirements, including registration in the County’s WebVen system, mandatory employment eligibility verification, and disclosure of any terminated contracts, political contributions, or pending ownership changes. The agreement emphasizes strict adherence to procedural and legal standards under California laws related to public resources and contracting policies, with performance oversight and acceptance governed by deliverables tied directly to each Work Order. While no federal acquisition regulations or clauses apply, the contract incorporates tailored local provisions addressing confidentiality, indemnification, organizational conflict of interest disclosures, and security screenings for consultants accessing sensitive information. Payment is managed electronically upon invoicing tied to authorized Work Orders, with specified content and submission processes. The solicitation thus establishes a rigorous but flexible consultant engagement framework to support RPOSD’s expansive park and open space initiatives within Los Angeles County.
