This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the Executive Office of the Board of Supervisors for the County of California seeking qualified consultants to provide as-needed Hearing Officer Services for the Civil Service Commission (CSC). The scope of work requires Hearing Officers to preside over administrative hearings conducted by the CSC. The engagement will be structured as a Master Agreement with an initial term and the potential for renewal options to be negotiated. The RFQ solicits proposals from qualified legal professionals or individuals with relevant administrative hearing experience who can serve on an as-needed basis to conduct hearings related to civil service matters.

Compensation and pricing terms are to be negotiated as part of the Master Agreement process, with rates expected to be competitive and commensurate with the consultant's qualifications and experience. The contract will likely include provisions for the County to utilize services on an as-needed basis rather than as a full-time engagement. Applicants should submit their qualifications, relevant experience in administrative law or hearing procedures, professional certifications, and references demonstrating their capability to conduct civil service hearings in accordance with applicable regulations and County procedures. The Master Agreement structure provides flexibility for the County to engage multiple qualified hearing officers based on scheduling needs and case requirements.
