This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) document issued by Los Angeles County for Workers' Compensation Claims Third-Party Administration (WCTPA) Services. The County seeks to establish a complete self-insured workers' compensation system in compliance with Los Angeles Code Section 5.31.050, with the Director of Personnel (delegated to the CEO) responsible for administering the program as part of the Countywide safety initiative. Contractors will provide comprehensive WCTPA services for all existing claims, reopened claims, and new claims reported during the contract period for designated County departments. The current contracts, approved by the Board in March 2019, expire on June 30, 2027, with new contracts effective July 1, 2027. The solicitation involves a competitive process to select qualified third-party administrators capable of managing the full scope of workers' compensation claims administration activities across multiple departments.

The RFP represents a continuation and renewal of existing workers' compensation administration services, with incumbent contractors having operated under the current agreement structure since 2019. Pricing and cost proposals are central to the evaluation criteria, with specific pricing terms and set-asides outlined within the proposal documents. The funding for these services derives from the County's self-insured workers' compensation reserve fund, which is established to cover the costs of claims administration and related benefits. Interested bidders must submit proposals by the specified deadline to be considered for contract award, with selection based on demonstrated experience in workers' compensation claims management, technical qualifications, and proposed pricing structures.
