RPOSD RFSQ For As-Needed Consultant Services

The Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD) is seeking to establish a pool of qualified consultants through a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) titled "RPOSD RFSQ For As-Needed Consultant Services" (solicitation number RPOSD-CONSULTANTS-2025-14). Issued in June 2025, this solicitation aims to prequalify vendors to provide a broad range of as-needed professional services under master agreements with a performance period extending through February 28, 2030. The consultant services span diverse categories including 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 development, program evaluation and compliance, technical project assistance, and website development and design. Vendors may submit a single Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) covering one or more service categories, with selections made to create a multi-vendor pool eligible for future work order solicitations. The procurement procedure includes detailed submission and evaluation protocols whereby vendors must comply with minimum mandatory requirements, submit comprehensive organizational and project qualification information, and agree to master agreement terms outlined in provided sample agreements. The master agreement defines the scope and deliverables at the work order level with each order including a statement of work tailored to specific assignments. Although pricing details are established at the work order stage and not within the RFSQ, the overall contract term is up to nearly five years. Vendors are required to provide key personnel information, maintain necessary professional licenses and certifications, and may be subject to background investigations. Political contribution disclosures and agent declaration are mandated to ensure transparency and regulatory compliance. Submissions must be electronic in PDF format, adhere to file size limits, and are accepted on a rolling basis through early 2030. The solicitation encompasses organizational requirements such as vendor registration in the County’s WebVen system, insurance obligations, and adherence to applicable California laws and RPOSD policies. While the solicitation references standard contract clauses and internal policies, it does not specify federal FAR clauses explicitly, nor does it provide detailed evaluation scoring or firm contract value estimates, with those specifics to be determined at the work order level. The overall intent is to facilitate efficient contracting for specialized consultant services to support the District’s broad array of park, open space, and community enhancement initiatives throughout Los Angeles County.
