The Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD) has issued a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) under solicitation number RPOSD-CONSULTANTS-2025-7 to establish a qualified pool of consultants to provide as-needed services across diverse categories including communication and event support, community outreach, document digitization and management, financial and assessment support, GIS mapping, grant writing, management consulting, park planning and policy, program evaluation and compliance, project technical assistance, and website development and design. This solicitation, posted in June 2025 with submissions accepted through February 2030, is designed to prequalify vendors who meet minimum mandatory requirements, enabling them to receive work orders under master agreements for various tasks aligned with RPOSD’s operational needs. Consultants must submit a structured Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) in a single PDF format, adhering to prescribed content, page limits, and submission protocols via email. No set contract value or pricing is provided upfront; compensation and specific project scopes are determined through individual work orders issued under the master agreements. The contract framework emphasizes compliance with applicable state and county policies, including adherence to the California Public Resources Code and RPOSD’s internal contracting guidelines. The agreement does not specify formal FAR clauses but includes standard provisions for confidentiality, organizational conflict of interest avoidance, and vendor registration with the County’s WebVen system. Work performance is governed at the work order level with deliverables and performance periods defined per project. Payment is made electronically based on labor hours and fixed or time-and-material bases per work order, with invoicing conducted via email. Vendor personnel must be identified and approved by RPOSD, and consultants are subject to possible background investigations. The RFSQ stipulates clear organizational and administrative requirements, including vendor disclosures related to terminated contracts or corporate changes, ensuring transparency and eligibility. Evaluation of proposals focuses on qualifications and past experience without explicitly stated weighting or scoring criteria, reflecting an emphasis on vendor capability and alignment with RPOSD’s program goals. The solicitation facilitates a flexible, multi-year consulting relationship to support RPOSD’s park and open space operations throughout California.
