About this file
This is a Controlling Board document from the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, involving an agency released competitive opportunity authorized under Ohio Revised Code §127.162. The document details a contract with two legal service providers located in Franklin County, Ohio: Ronda Shamansky Law Office LLC in Columbus and Loren L. Braverman in Bexley.
The contract is for legal hearing examiner services, with a total approved budget of $160,000 ($80,000 per fiscal year) from fund 5GE0, ALI 320606. DODD conducted a 28-day 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 a maximum of $40,000 per fiscal year, with contracts running from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. The providers were chosen based on their ability to handle additional and/or lengthy cases, and both are in compliance with Buy Ohio and Buy America requirements.

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.
