This file is a Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) Form exhibit associated with a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) issued by the County of Los Angeles Department of Treasurer and Tax Collector for the establishment of a Municipal Advisory Services Pool. The RFSQ seeks to qualify multiple firms to provide municipal advisory services to the County on an as-needed basis. Statements of Qualifications were due by 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on March 28, 2024, and must be submitted to contracts@ttc.lacounty.gov. The RFSQ contains minimum mandatory requirements in Paragraph 3, specific SOQ content and format requirements in Paragraph 7, and a sample Master Agreement in Appendix A that outlines service requirements in Exhibit D. Firms meeting the minimum qualifications are invited to submit SOQs, with the understanding that submission constitutes acceptance of all RFSQ terms and conditions and the non-negotiable Master Agreement terms. The County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors approval is required to execute Master Agreements with qualified firms.

The CBE Form exhibit serves as a certification document requiring qualified firms to demonstrate their certified business enterprise status, which may relate to set-aside provisions or participation goals for disadvantaged business enterprises. This form is a standard requirement within Los Angeles County procurement processes and must be completed and submitted as part of the overall SOQ package. The Master Agreement terms and conditions are not negotiable, and firms acknowledge their commitment to compliance with all RFSQ requirements and any issued addenda upon submission.
