RevisedRFSQ.pdf

This Revised Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) is issued by the County of Los Angeles Public Defender to establish a continuous pool of qualified contractors across two service categories: Attorney Services and Paralegal Services. The solicitation seeks qualified individuals to provide as-needed removal defense representation in immigration courts and post-conviction relief representation in state courts for current and former clients of the Department who are facing or at risk of removal from the United States due to arrests or convictions in the Los Angeles County criminal legal system. The RFSQ remains open continuously, allowing for ongoing contractor recruitment and qualification throughout the contract period. No specific response deadline, site visit requirements, or bidder's conference details are evident from the file content provided.

The contract structure is designed to maintain a dynamic contractor pool rather than award to a single vendor, enabling the Public Defender to engage qualified service providers on an as-needed basis. Specific pricing terms, contract duration, renewal options, funding amounts, and budget constraints are not detailed in the materials provided. The solicitation appears to prioritize contractor qualifications and experience in immigration law and post-conviction relief matters rather than competitive pricing mechanisms. Additional details regarding incumbent contractors, set-asides, and specific funding sources would be contained in the full RFSQ attachments referenced in the opportunity description.
