Attachment H is a Key Persons Contact List template for the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Request for Applications for Impartial Hearings Officers. The document establishes a standardized format for applicants to provide contact information for key personnel who will be involved in the contract performance, including an Authorized Agent, Top Contact, Alternate Contact, and Accounts Receivable/Payable representative. Each contact entry requires the individual's title, name, full address, cell phone number, alternate phone number, and email address. The RFA seeks qualified professionals to conduct impartial hearings and issue final decisions in dispute resolution matters within Marion County, with applications accepted on an ongoing basis and reviewed during the first full week of each month. The contract term is established through June 30, 2026, with potential two-year renewal options available up to a maximum of six years total, with a final submission deadline of December 31, 2029.

Compensation is structured at $175 per hour for hearing work and $50 per hour for travel time, with mileage reimbursement included. The anticipated contract value must be $150,000 or more, indicating a substantial professional opportunity. Applicants must possess at least three years of experience conducting judicial or contested case hearings and meet specific professional standards, including submission of two professional references. The RFA does not specify explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises but requires compliance with state laws regarding wage discrimination, broadband internet access, and conflict of interest. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation. Selected Impartial Hearings Officers must integrate into ODHS/VR's existing dispute resolution infrastructure while adhering to background check requirements, confidentiality provisions, nondiscrimination standards, and mandatory abuse reporting protocols.
