About this file
This is a legal memorandum from the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) General Counsel regarding Form 700 conflict of interest filing requirements for RFP 25-0352, which solicits sales tax audit and recovery services. The RFP seeks qualified consultants to provide these services on a five-year term basis. The memorandum addresses whether personnel performing work under this contract would be required to file California Form 700 declarations of economic interests as mandated by OCTA's Conflict of Interest Code.
Based on General Counsel's review of the Scope of Work, the determination was made that Form 700 filings would not be required for consultant personnel under this RFP. The legal opinion concluded that anticipated consultant personnel would not authorize or direct actions, votes, appoint persons, obligate or commit OCTA to courses of action, or enter into contractual agreements on behalf of OCTA. Additionally, no personnel provided under this RFP would provide information, opinions, or recommendations affecting decisions without substantial intervening substantive review by OCTA personnel, counsel, and management. This classification based on the limited decision-making authority of the consultant role exempts the contract from Form 700 requirements.

From: James M. Donich To: Rebecca Abeyta Cc: Michael Cardozo Subject: Re: Form 700 Review RFP 250352 Scope of Work for Sales Tax Audit and Recovery Services Date: Tuesday, June 2, 2026 7:25:01 AM Attachments: linkedin_32x32_efaa60bc-61e3-49c7-9eae-b11d0d4add83.png instagram_32x32_6fd2d21d-23da-4a28-969b-2e0d145a9d7d.png
I have reviewed the SOW for RFP 25-0352 as to whether the personnel performing these duties would be required to file Form 700's under OCTA's Conflict of Interest Code. Based upon my review, it is the opinion of General Counsel that this RFP and the SOW would not require the filing of Form 700's.
The consultant personnel anticipated by this RFP would not authorize or direct any actions, votes, appoint any person, obligate or commit OCTA to any course of action or enter into any contractual agreement on behalf of OCTA.
Moreover, no personnel provided for by this RFP would provide information, an opinion or a recommendation for the purpose of affecting a decision without significant intervening substantive review by OCTA personnel, counsel and management.
