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 authorized to provide as-needed professional services over a broad range of categories. These categories include 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 and design. The intent is to streamline future task order solicitations by prequalifying vendors through a master agreement framework, whereby individual work orders are issued to meet specific project needs within Los Angeles County. The solicitation process mandates submission of a structured Statement of Qualifications, including a one-page executive summary and concise project resumes, with strict formatting and page limits. Submissions are accepted electronically through February 28, 2030. While the contract does not specify fixed pricing or total contract value, individual work orders under the master agreement will define scope, deliverables, and terms including periods of performance. Vendors must comply with applicable California statutes and RPOSD policies, and undergo background screening where required. Critical contractual provisions include conflict of interest disclosures, ongoing reporting of political contributions and lobbying activities, non-assignment clauses, and adherence to employment eligibility verification. RPOSD retains authority for inspection, acceptance, and oversight of consultant performance, with compliance and deliverable quality measured against the statement of work for each task order. The solicitation emphasizes transparency, organizational qualifications, and responsiveness to RPOSD’s diverse park planning and operational objectives.
