This is an Appendix C document supporting a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by Los Angeles County for Workers' Compensation Claims Third-Party Administration (WCTPA) Services. The RFP seeks qualified contractors to provide comprehensive WCTPA services for all existing claims, reopened claims, and new claims reported during the contract period across designated County departments operating under the Countywide self-insured workers' compensation system. The scope of work is established under Los Angeles Code Section 5.31.050, with administration delegated to the County's CEO. Proposals are due October 7, 2026, with new contracts effective July 1, 2027, replacing current contracts approved by the Board in March 2019 that expire June 30, 2027. The new contracts will be indefinite term with potential renewals as authorized by the County. Submission of a completed Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) form is a mandatory requirement for all bidders.

Selection will be based on demonstrated experience in workers' compensation claims management, technical qualifications, and proposed pricing structures, with pricing and cost proposals serving as central evaluation criteria. Funding for WCTPA services derives from the County's self-insured workers' compensation reserve fund. Current contractors have been providing these services since 2019, establishing an incumbent environment for this competitive solicitation. The indefinite term nature of the new contracts, combined with authorized renewal options, provides long-term service continuity for the County's workers' compensation administration.
