RFS Attachment 4: Response to Requested Information

This is a response form document for the County of Los Angeles, Executive Office of the Board of Supervisors' Request for Services (RFS) for Ethics Commission and Ethics Office Development and Strategic Advisory Consulting Services. The RFS seeks qualified CAPSMA (Consulting and Professional Services Master Agreement) contractors to provide strategic advisory and development consulting services to establish and implement a County Ethics Commission and Ethics Office aligned with Measure G objectives. Vendors responding to this RFS must also submit a concurrent Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to obtain CAPSMA eligibility. The RFS Attachment 4 form serves as the standardized template for responding to the County's requested information and represents one component of a comprehensive submission package that includes additional required forms such as a response cover sheet, references, and staffing and pricing schedules.

Attachment 4 functions as the primary narrative response document wherein vendors must address the County's specific evaluation criteria and technical requirements. The form provides structured sections for vendors to demonstrate their qualifications, relevant experience, understanding of ethics commission development, and capability to support the County's transparency and accountability objectives. While specific pricing information is to be submitted separately via the Staffing and Pricing Schedule (RFS Attachment 6), this attachment establishes the vendor's technical approach and strategic methodology. The submission requirements are integrated within the broader CAPSMA procurement framework, which mandates concurrent RFQ compliance and various certifications including community business enterprise status, debarment history documentation, references, and financial statements to establish vendor eligibility and responsibility.
