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) to establish a pool of prequalified consultants who can provide a broad range of as-needed professional services. These services encompass communication and event support, community outreach, document digitization and management, financial and assessment support, geographic information systems 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 allows vendors to submit a single Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) for one or more of the identified service categories. The master agreement resulting from this process will serve as a framework under which individual work order solicitations can be issued, enabling RPOSD to efficiently procure specialized consulting expertise as required. The contract term consists of a five-year base period with three optional one-year extensions, allowing for a maximum of up to eight years of contract performance at the discretion of RPOSD. There is no specified total contract value or fixed deliverables at the RFSQ stage; instead, each individual work order will include a tailored Statement of Work (SOW) detailing project-specific tasks, deliverables, timelines, and budget ceilings. The procurement emphasizes vendor qualifications, personnel expertise, and compliance with county policies, including mandatory registration in the County’s WebVen system, submission of organizational questionnaires, and proof of applicable professional licenses. The submission process requires a single-volume SOQ in PDF format, with strict formatting and content guidelines, including a one-page executive summary. Notably, no federal acquisition clauses or standard FAR provisions were incorporated, as this solicitation pertains to local government procurement rather than federal contracting. Administrative elements such as invoicing methods, specific payment offices, or detailed evaluation criteria are not explicitly outlined; however, the contract mandates adherence to applicable laws and RPOSD policies, ensuring quality and accountability in the provision of consultant services throughout the contract duration.
