About this opportunity

Macomb County is seeking independent legal counsel through Request for Proposal (RFP) 33-25 for the Board of Commissioners, with proposals due on August 28, 2025, at 10:00 AM local time. The selected legal firm must provide a designated individual capable of offering comprehensive legal expertise across multiple domains including municipal law, county governance, charter interpretation, ethics, Freedom of Information Act compliance, governmental cooperation, liability issues, monetary policies, Open Meetings Act, and ordinance drafting. The contract will initially be for a minimum of one year, with potential renewals for two additional one-year extensions, creating a possible three-year total contract period. Proposers must submit detailed documentation including firm background, attorney qualifications, municipal law expertise, references, and a comprehensive fee structure with hourly rates for different staff categories (Principal/Attorney, Associate Attorneys, Paralegals). The County will evaluate proposals based on criteria such as overall experience, attorney qualifications, personnel capabilities, accessibility, and cost, with potential interviews scheduled at a Government Oversight Committee meeting on September 9, 2025.

The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Billing will be conducted in one-tenth hour increments with itemized invoices required. While no incumbent vendor is identified in the documentation, the proposal emphasizes the need for a legal services provider who can comprehensively support the Board of Commissioners' diverse legal requirements. The specific budget range is not explicitly stated in the provided materials, though proposers are required to submit detailed fee structures with hourly rates for different staff levels. The ultimate goal is to select the most qualified and cost-effective legal services provider who can offer extensive legal support across multiple governmental and municipal law domains, with the potential contract value spanning up to three years based on potential annual renewals.
