This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors for Master Agreements to provide as-needed professional design and photography services. The department seeks qualified vendors—whether firms or individual consultants—to deliver services in three primary categories: graphic design, website design, and photography. The RFQ establishes an ongoing, as-needed contracting structure rather than project-specific engagements, allowing the County to utilize qualified vendors for various design and photography needs across department initiatives. The document outlines qualification requirements, vendor selection criteria, and the framework for establishing Master Agreements that will enable the County to procure these services on a task-order basis as operational needs arise.

The RFQ specifies pricing structures through task orders issued under the Master Agreement terms, with costs to be determined at the time of individual service requests based on scope and complexity. The Master Agreements are open to both established design firms and independent consultants, with no incumbent identified. Vendors must demonstrate relevant experience, professional credentials, and portfolio examples in their respective service categories. The contracting mechanism is designed to provide the County with flexibility in managing design and photography needs while maintaining quality standards through pre-qualified vendor relationships. Set-asides or local business preferences, if applicable, would be detailed in the RFQ specifications, and vendors should confirm all compliance requirements and submission deadlines through the official county procurement process.
