About this file
This document is a Controlling Board Request from the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) for an agency released competitive opportunity. The request involves two legal service providers located in Franklin County, Ohio: Ronda Shamansky Law Office LLC in Columbus and Loren L. Braverman in Bexley. The document was approved for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, with a Controlling Board meeting date of 7/21/2025.
The contract is for legal hearing examiner services, with a total request of $160,000.00 ($80,000.00 per fiscal year) from fund 5GE0, ALI 320606. DODD conducted a competitive solicitation (SRC# 29939) that received four proposals, ultimately selecting both Shamansky and Braverman to create a pool of hearing examiners for adjudication and administrative hearings. Each provider will receive $40,000 per fiscal year, with contracts running from 7/1/2025 to 6/30/2026 and 7/1/2026 to 6/30/2027. Both suppliers were chosen for their ability to handle additional and/or lengthy cases, and the contracts are part of DODD's strategy to meet the growing need for attorneys to preside over hearings in accordance with Ohio Revised Code and Administrative Code.

Explanation The Department did an agency released competitive solicitation (SRC# 29939), requesting proposals for legal hearing examiner services in OhioBuys for a period of 28 days and received four (4) proposals in response. The Department is awarding contracts to all the suppliers who bid to create a pool of hearing examiners to meet the growing need for attorneys to preside over adjudication hearings in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code Chapter 119 and in-house administrative hearings in accordance with the Ohio Administrative Code. Based on the availability of two (2) of the hearing examiners, their awarded contracts were under the threshold to require Controlling Board approval. The other two contracts are with Ronda Shamansky and Loren Braverman, who tend to handle additional and/or lengthy cases, so the maximum possible compensation under their biennium contracts requires CB approval. In total, this means the Department will have six (6) hearing officers under contract to utilize as appropriate for hearings.
