This is an Addendum 3 to the County of Los Angeles, Executive Office of the Board of Supervisors Department, related to Master Agreements for Hearing Officer Services with the Employee Relations Commission (ERCOM). The addendum modifies the original solicitation by clarifying qualifications and procedures for qualified individuals to provide as-needed hearing officer services. The document specifies that respondents must meet California State Bar membership requirements and possess relevant experience in administrative law, employment law, or related legal proceedings. The addendum provides updates to submission requirements, evaluation criteria, and any procedural modifications to the original request for proposals, ensuring consistency with County procurement standards and ERCOM operational needs.

The addendum establishes terms governing compensation, which is structured on an as-needed basis with rates determined through the Master Agreement negotiation process. The document clarifies that no incumbents are automatically renewed under this solicitation, and all qualified applicants compete equally for contract award. The funding source remains the County of Los Angeles general operations budget allocated to the Executive Office of the Board of Supervisors. The addendum reinforces that this is a Master Agreement vehicle intended to establish an on-call roster of hearing officers available to serve ERCOM on a project-by-project basis, with no guaranteed minimum work volume or contract period specified beyond the agreement's effective dates.
