This document contains standard exhibits for a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) issued by the Los Angeles County Department of Agricultural Commissioner/Weights and Measures (ACWM) for as-needed vegetation management services. The County seeks to establish Master Agreements with qualified vendors to create a prequalified pool capable of performing intermittent and seasonal vegetation management work. Work will be awarded through two mechanisms: individual Work Orders with detailed Statements of Work and jobsite walkthroughs, and annual rate submissions for designated service categories and geographic areas within the County. Vendors selected through this process will be qualified to respond to Work Order announcements and may voluntarily submit competitive rates for available service categories. The Master Agreement structure allows ACWM flexibility in managing vegetation management needs across the County by maintaining relationships with multiple qualified vendors rather than committing to a single service provider.

The exhibits establish the County's minimum requirements for vendor qualification, including verification of references and work performance history, and vendors must agree to the County's standard terms and conditions. All vendors determined to meet the qualification standards will be awarded Master Agreements, creating a competitive vendor pool. Compensation will be determined through competitive bidding on individual Work Orders and through the annual rates vendors submit for specific service categories and areas. The specific pricing structure, contract term, renewal options, and detailed service categories are outlined in the complete exhibits accompanying this document.
