General and Project Management Consulting Services - Capital Development

The County of Los Angeles, through its Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO), is issuing a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) to establish Master Agreements for General and Project Management Consulting Services focused on Capital Development. The procurement seeks qualified companies to provide services across seven specific categories: Architecture and Design, Engineering, Planning, Land Use & Economic Development, Environmental Services, Real Estate Services, Project Management, and Other General Services. The solicitation utilizes a qualifications-based selection process that emphasizes technical expertise, organizational experience, and project capabilities rather than price competition. Respondents will be evaluated based on their organizational experience, team qualifications, technical approach, and relevant project portfolios. Key objectives include creating an on-call roster of pre-qualified consulting firms to support the County's capital development initiatives, enabling efficient project-specific engagement through task orders. The RFSQ was posted on October 28, 2025, with a proposal due date of January 16, 3025, and will establish multi-year Master Agreements that allow the County to task consultants with specific assignments as capital development opportunities arise.

The County encourages participation from local, small, and disadvantaged business enterprises, with a focus on firms experienced in public sector capital projects and familiar with local government procurement methodologies. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, the procurement framework appears designed to promote diverse vendor participation across the seven service categories. The solicitation does not indicate existing incumbent vendors or specify precise award values, though the Master Agreement structure suggests flexible engagement with potential for multiple awards to ensure a comprehensive vendor pool. Respondents will be required to complete detailed documentation in Appendix B, which includes forms demonstrating organizational capacity, financial stability, and compliance with County procurement standards. The County anticipates establishing multiple Master Agreements to maintain a competitive and adaptable consulting resource for capital development projects, with individual task order compensation to be negotiated based on specific project requirements and consultant qualifications.
