This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the County of Los Angeles, Executive Office of the Board of Supervisors Department, for qualified individuals to provide Hearing Officer Services for the Employee Relations Commission (ERCOM) on an as-needed basis through Master Agreements. The RFQ seeks experienced hearing officers to conduct hearings and render decisions related to employee relations matters within Los Angeles County. The document outlines the qualifications, experience requirements, and application procedures for interested contractors. Responses to the RFQ were due by the specified deadline outlined in the solicitation, with the County planning to establish Master Agreements with selected qualified individuals to maintain a roster of available hearing officers for ongoing, as-needed services.

The RFQ emphasizes professional qualifications and experience in administrative law, hearing procedures, and employee relations dispute resolution. Selected contractors will be compensated on a per-hearing or per-service basis as determined in the Master Agreement terms. The County may consider relevant experience, educational background, professional certifications, and demonstrated competency in conducting fair and impartial hearings. No specific funding amount or budgetary constraints are outlined in the RFQ itself, as compensation will be determined through individual Master Agreements. The procurement allows the County flexibility to engage multiple qualified hearing officers as caseload demands require, with no guaranteed minimum volume of work or exclusivity requirements for selected contractors.
