Summary of Revised Appendix B

This is an appendix document supporting the Los Angeles County Public Defender's Request for Statements of Qualifications (RFSQ) for as-needed legal immigration representation services. The County is establishing a continuous, open-ended contractor pool across two service categories: Attorney Services and Paralegal Services. Contractors selected will provide removal defense representation in immigration courts and post-conviction relief services in state courts for current and former Public Defender clients facing or at risk of removal proceedings due to arrests or convictions in the Los Angeles County criminal system. The solicitation remains open on a rolling basis with no specified closing date, allowing the County to accept qualifications and establish the contractor pool on an ongoing basis.

The document serves to clarify qualifications, requirements, and terms applicable to prospective contractors seeking to join the pre-qualified pool. Contractors will be selected on an as-needed basis to handle individual cases as they arise, rather than through a single award. The structure enables the County to maintain flexibility in contracting while ensuring qualified legal professionals are available to serve vulnerable populations facing immigration consequences of criminal convictions. Specific pricing terms, compensation structures, and other financial conditions would be detailed within the full solicitation documents and any resulting task order agreements for individual cases or case assignments.
