As-Needed Professional Design and Photography Services

The Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors is conducting a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to establish Master Agreements with qualified vendors for as-needed professional design and photography services. The procurement seeks vendors capable of providing graphic design, website design, and photography services on an on-call basis. Both firms and individual consultants are eligible to apply for this opportunity, which aims to create a pool of pre-qualified service providers. The solicitation requires vendors to demonstrate relevant experience, technical expertise, and capability to deliver high-quality design and photography products across multiple service categories. Vendors will be evaluated based on their qualifications, with the ability to provide cost proposals for specific task orders as county needs arise. The proposal was posted on October 18, 2022, with a due date of January 16, 2025, allowing vendors ample time to prepare and submit their qualifications. The master agreement structure will enable the County to work with multiple vendors, with specific project scopes, deliverables, timelines, and compensation to be determined during individual task order negotiations.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, though typical government contracts often include provisions for such businesses. The procurement is open to both firms and individual consultants, suggesting a relatively inclusive approach to vendor selection. While no incumbent vendors are directly listed in the documentation, the master agreement approach indicates the County's intent to maintain a flexible roster of service providers. The procurement does not specify a precise award value or budget range, instead focusing on establishing a framework for future task order-based engagements. The master agreement will allow the Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors to request design and photography services as needed, with the ability to negotiate pricing and scope for individual projects. This approach provides both the County and potential vendors with significant flexibility in service delivery and procurement. The multi-vendor structure suggests the potential for multiple awards across the specified service categories of graphic design, website design, and photography.
