Civil Service Commission Hearing Officer Services

The Executive Office of the Board of Supervisors in California is seeking qualified consultants to provide as-needed Hearing Officer Services for the Civil Service Commission (CSC) through a Master Agreement procurement. The primary objective is to secure legal professionals or individuals with administrative hearing experience who can preside over administrative hearings related to civil service matters. Ideal candidates must demonstrate expertise in administrative law, possess relevant professional certifications, and have substantial experience conducting administrative hearings in compliance with county procedures. Consultants will be engaged on an as-needed basis to conduct hearings, with compensation and pricing to be negotiated based on individual qualifications and experience. The solicitation was posted on June 21, 2022, with a final submission deadline of January 16, 3025, requiring interested parties to submit comprehensive qualifications, professional references, and detailed documentation through the provided appendix of fillable forms. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on professional background, hearing experience, availability, and ability to handle multiple simultaneous matters effectively. The procurement process includes three addenda that provide additional clarification on contract terms, service expectations, and submission requirements.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations, suggesting the opportunity is open to a broad range of qualified legal professionals and consultants. While no incumbent vendors are listed, the Master Agreement structure indicates the county intends to potentially engage multiple hearing officers to meet varying scheduling and case requirements. The documents do not provide a specific award value or comprehensive budget range, instead indicating that compensation will be negotiated individually with selected consultants. Interested parties will need to complete all required forms in the AppendixAFillableforms.pdf document, which includes sections for detailing proposed service rates, professional background, and capacity to perform hearing officer duties. The procurement emphasizes flexibility, allowing the county to select and engage hearing officers based on their specific qualifications and the unique needs of each administrative hearing. Consultants will likely be required to meet standard professional liability insurance requirements and comply with county policies and procedures.
