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) titled "RPOSD RFSQ For As-Needed Consultant Services" (Solicitation Number: RPOSD-CONSULTANTS-2025-10), with a posting date of June 18, 2025, and a response deadline of February 28, 2030. This solicitation aims to establish a prequalified pool of consultants to provide as-needed professional services across eleven distinct categories, including communication and event support, community outreach, document digitization, 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 purpose is to allow RPOSD to issue individual work orders under master agreements to qualified vendors based on specific operational needs within Los Angeles County, California. Vendors submit Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) via email in a single PDF file with strict formatting and page limits, and the selection process emphasizes fairness, consistency, and alignment with RPOSD program goals. The contract structure involves master agreements with no guaranteed minimum work but potential work orders that define specific tasks, deliverables, timelines, and budgets on a not-to-exceed basis. Key contract provisions address personnel qualifications, requiring identification and approval of lead consultants and key staff, along with background and security investigations to ensure compliance and protect sensitive information. Vendors must comply with confidentiality, conflict of interest disclosure, and employment eligibility verification requirements. The contract does not specify pricing or aggregate contract value, as pricing and funding are determined at the Work Order level. Deliverables are accepted based on RPOSD’s approval, with inspections and audits conducted to verify performance and proper record retention. Submission guidelines mandate electronic SOQ delivery by email, limited to 10MB per attachment or via WeTransfer with required subject lines. Vendor certifications include required organizational disclosures and political contribution reporting if applicable, though no socioeconomic or size status certifications are mandated. This solicitation supports RPOSD’s mission to efficiently secure diverse professional expertise for ongoing and future regional park and open space initiatives.
