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 with solicitation number RPOSD-CONSULTANTS-2025-6 to establish a prequalified pool of consultants providing as-needed services in multiple specialized categories. These service categories include 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 solicitation operates under a Master Agreement framework utilizing an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) style contract through which individual work orders will be issued specifying detailed scopes of work, deliverables, timelines, and compensation. The contract period runs through February 28, 2030, with consultants selected based on the submittal and evaluation of their Statements of Qualifications (SOQ). The RFSQ outlines clear requirements including submission formats, page limits, and exhibits such as organizational questionnaires and disclosure forms related to terminated contracts and public entity engagements. While no standardized federal acquisition contract clauses (e.g., FAR clauses) were explicitly incorporated, the solicitation mandates compliance with local regulations, ethics laws, and disclosure of political contributions or lobbying activities where applicable. Performance and deliverables are defined within individual work orders, and acceptance hinges upon satisfactory completion in accordance with the master agreement terms. Proposals must be submitted electronically as a single PDF, with a rolling acceptance window extending until February 2030. Key personnel qualifications are emphasized, and RPOSD reserves the right to conduct background investigations. Pricing and contract values are determined per work order but are not pre-disclosed in the solicitation. Overall, this RFSQ seeks to streamline and expedite procurement of diverse consultant services to support RPOSD’s operational and strategic initiatives across Los Angeles County’s park and open space management.
