This Appendix B document supports a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the County of Los Angeles, Executive Office of the Board of Supervisors, Chief Sustainability Office, for qualified contractors to provide policy and research services supporting the 2025 OurCounty Plan initiatives. Vendors must respond to both the RFQ and concurrent Request for Services (RFS) to qualify for a Consulting and Professional Services Master Agreement (CAPSMA). The RFQ requires submission of eight exhibits including a Vendor's Organization Questionnaire/Affidavit, Certification of Compliance, Debarment History and Terminated Contracts list, Community Business Enterprise Information, References, Contribution and Agent Declaration Form, and Supplemental Financial Information if applicable, along with a Certificate of Insurance. The RFS submissions require a Response Cover Sheet, Response to Requested Information, References, and Staffing and Pricing Schedule. Qualifying vendors will be issued a CAPSMA for as-needed work order assignments.

The document establishes the framework for master agreement procurement with selected vendors to provide ongoing policy and research support services. Appendix B serves as a critical reference document outlining the submission requirements and organizational information necessary for vendor qualification and evaluation. The master agreement structure allows the County to issue work orders to pre-qualified contractors on an as-needed basis, enabling flexible engagement of resources aligned with the Chief Sustainability Office's strategic initiatives and planning requirements.
