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, aiming to establish a pool of qualified consultants to provide as-needed professional services across a wide spectrum of categories. These service areas include Communication and Event Support, Community Outreach, Document Digitization and Management, Financial and Assessment Support, Geographic Information System (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 solicitation number is RPOSD-CONSULTANTS-2025-12, with submissions accepted via email from July 15, 2025 through February 28, 2030. Consultants selected under this RFSQ will enter into Master Agreements, which allow for issuance of Work Orders based on RPOSD’s needs, with no guaranteed minimum volume of work. The contract operates under a Master Agreement framework, defining the terms, submission requirements, and administrative oversight, but pricing and specific periods of performance are determined per Work Order. Consultants must demonstrate relevant expertise, licensing, and qualifications corresponding to the broad range of service categories, and comply with California Public Resources Code requirements. Key elements of the agreement include requirements for prior approval of personnel, employee background checks, and conflict of interest disclosures. Submission instructions specify a strict format for Statements of Qualifications (SOQs), emphasizing an executive summary limited to one page and clear organization into defined sections, submitted as a single PDF not exceeding 10MB per email. The contract stipulates electronic payment processing via EFT, oversight roles held by RPOSD staff, and requires thorough documentation for deliverables tied to fixed-price Work Orders. While standard federal acquisition clauses are not explicitly included, detailed exhibits such as organizational questionnaires and termination disclosures are part of the required submittals. The contract places strong emphasis on adherence to administrative and procedural requirements, confidentiality, and compliance with County policies, reflecting RPOSD’s focus on flexible, responsive consultant support to meet diverse project and operational demands over an extended contract term through 2030.
