About this file
This document is an Addendum (Number 2) for RFP Number 24-04 for a Panel of Legal Service Providers issued by the Los Angeles Community College District, covering multiple campuses including City, East, Harbor, Mission, Pierce, Southwest, Trade-Technical, Valley, and West. The addendum, dated April 11, 2024, provides answers to questions from prospective proposers regarding a legal services panel procurement.
The addendum reveals the district's total legal spend for fiscal years 2021-2022 was approximately $7.87 million, increasing to $18.31 million in 2022-2023, with 100% of that volume sent to panel firms. A key clarification addresses Class IV matters, specifically confirming that these matters exclusively relate to workers' compensation cases where employees have obtained legal representation, and explicitly stating that insurance coverage is not included in these matters. The document emphasizes that proposers must acknowledge receipt of this addendum in their proposal and that failure to list received addenda may result in the proposal being deemed non-responsive.

Answers to Questions
Number Questions Response
1 What is your total legal spend, and what volume do you anticipate you send your panel firms?
The total legal spend for the last two fiscal years 2021-2022 was approximately $7.87 million and 2022-2023 was approximately $18.31 million. 100% of that volume was sent to panel firms. Nonetheless, keep in mind that the District’s legal spend depends on the number of active matters and workload involved at any given time.
2 On page 30 of the RFP it states, "Proposers for Class IV matters may be presented with a question related to insurance matters.”
However, the description of class IV matters doesn’t mention insurance coverage.
d. Class IV Matters – (Refer to Exhibit I- Guidelines for Legal Panel on Class IV Matters) -Advise, defend, and litigate claims where opposing legal representation has been obtained by the employee -Act within the bounds of California Workers’ Compensation law -Provide the most cost-effective legal resolution and/or outcome based on facts and circumstances of each individual claim, in the most expeditious manner.
Our question is as follows, is insurance coverage included within class IV matters? Or are class IV matters only related to Workers’ Comp matters when employees have obtained legal representation?
No. Insurance coverage is not included with Class IV matters. The quoted sentence on page 30 of the RFP, “Proposers for Class IV matters may be presented with a question related to “insurance matters” was made in error. The sentence should read as follows:
“Proposers for Class IV matters may be presented with a question related to workers’ compensation matters. Class IV matters only relates to workers’ Compensation matters once employees have obtained legal representation.
