Proposals are due electronically via the OpenGov portal by November 7, 2024, and must be submitted as separate technical and cost files.

The contract requires strict adherence to California labor laws, including registration with the Department of Industrial Relations and compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act and the Copeland Anti-Kickback Act. Key contractual provisions include a not-to-exceed fee structure, mandatory ACH direct deposit for payments, and the requirement that all work products become the exclusive property of the City. Additionally, consultants must provide a resource allocation matrix and adhere to strict conflict of interest and non-collusion disclosures.
