REQUESTFORSERVICES.pdf

This Request for Services document is issued by the County of Los Angeles, Executive Office of the Board of Supervisors, soliciting qualified CAPSMA contractors to provide ethics commission and ethics office development and strategic advisory consulting services. The services are intended to support the establishment and implementation of a County Ethics Commission and Ethics Office that aligns with Measure G objectives, incorporates public-sector ethics oversight best practices, and supports the County's commitment to transparency, accountability, and integrity. Vendors interested in this RFS must concurrently respond to a related Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a Consulting and Professional Services Master Agreement (CAPSMA). Qualifying vendors will be issued a CAPSMA and must submit responses to both the RFQ and RFS to be considered. The submission requirements include specific exhibits and attachments covering organizational information, compliance certifications, debarment history, community business enterprise information, references, financial documentation, insurance certificates, and staffing and pricing schedules.

The RFS specifies that vendors must provide pricing through a staffing and pricing schedule as part of their response. The opportunity is structured to identify and establish a master agreement relationship with qualified consulting firms rather than a single project award. Vendors responding must demonstrate relevant experience through references and detailed organizational qualifications. The concurrent issuance of the RFQ and RFS allows the County to evaluate both vendor qualifications and specific service proposals simultaneously, with successful vendors being awarded CAPSMA agreements to provide the ethics commission and office development services on an as-needed basis.
