RPOSD RFSQ For As-Needed Consultant Services

The Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD) issued a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) in June 2025 to establish a pool of prequalified consultants who can provide on-demand services in multiple specialized categories. These categories encompass communication and event support, community outreach, document digitization and management, financial and assessment support, GIS and mapping, grant writing and program materials development, management consulting, park planning and policy, program evaluation and compliance, project technical assistance, and website development and design. The RFSQ serves to streamline the procurement of consulting services funded under Measure A by prequalifying vendors, enabling RPOSD to issue individual work order solicitations under master agreements as needs arise. The solicitation outlines clear minimum mandatory requirements, submission deadlines, evaluation procedures, and master agreement terms, with a response deadline set for February 28, 2030. The services will be performed primarily in California under the oversight of the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation. The process includes detailed submission instructions for Statements of Qualifications (SOQs), criteria to evaluate and select consultants, and provisions for future notifications to participating vendors. This flexible, as-needed contracting approach ensures timely access to expert support across varied functional areas critical to the effective management, planning, and communication efforts of the RPOSD.
