Stockton Unified School District is soliciting proposals to establish a qualified pool of law firms and legal service providers for ongoing legal counsel, advisory services, and representation, with proposals due October 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. The District intends to award agreements to multiple qualified firms with an initial one-year term and potential renewal for up to four additional one-year terms, not to exceed five years total.

All proposed attorneys must be admitted to practice in California and in good standing with the State Bar. The scope spans one or more practice areas including General Legal Counsel, Board Governance, Labor and Employment, Human Resources, Employee Relations and Negotiations, Special Education, Charter Schools, Facilities and Construction, Real Estate, Public Contracting, Student Matters, and Litigation.

Evaluation criteria are firm qualifications and experience (30 points), service approach (35 points), past performance and references (15 points), and fee proposal (20 points), with interviews potentially adding up to 25 additional points. Pricing remains fixed for the initial period and extensions, invoiced on Net 30 terms. The District may terminate for convenience with 30 days' advance written notice or for default after five business days to cure.

Contractors must maintain comprehensive general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000, auto liability insurance of at least $1,000,000, professional liability insurance of $1,000,000 for at least five years post-contract, and workers' compensation insurance. Proposers must submit W-9 forms, vendor qualification applications, fingerprint and background check certifications, debarment certifications, equal opportunity certifications, and compliance statements regarding economic sanctions and Iran contracting restrictions.

Questions and requests for clarification are due October 6, 2026 at 3:00 p.m., with addenda issued by October 8. Interviews are scheduled for a date to be determined. No minimum work volume or compensation is guaranteed to selected firms, and the District reserves the right to engage counsel outside the pool when circumstances warrant.
