About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Rusk County, Wisconsin is soliciting proposals for corporation counsel legal services to support its county government operations. The Request for Proposals seeks qualified attorneys or law firms to provide comprehensive legal services across four primary areas: General Government, Zoning and Land Use, Health & Human Services, and Employment & Personnel. Respondents must be licensed to practice law in Wisconsin with a minimum of five years of municipal or county government law experience, demonstrating familiarity with relevant Wisconsin statutes and administrative codes. The procurement requires detailed proposals including a cover letter, demonstration of relevant experience, a staffing plan identifying primary attorneys for each service area, availability details, and references from at least three governmental clients. Proposals must be submitted electronically or in a sealed envelope to the Rusk County Clerk by 5:00 PM on January 23, 2025, with questions directed to the Administrative Coordinator. The selection process will involve review by the Personnel Committee, which may conduct interviews before forwarding a recommendation to the full County Board for final approval.

The solicitation does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The anticipated contract term is one year with the option for annual renewal by mutual consent, and the County has not established a fixed compensation amount, instead reserving the right to negotiate fees based on qualifications and proposed fee structures. Respondents must provide detailed fee structures, which can include either hourly rates or flat monthly retainers, along with potential reimbursable costs subject to a not-to-exceed monthly or annual cap. The procurement is structured as a negotiated process, allowing for discussions and revisions of terms including price, scope of services, qualifications, and contract type. Rusk County maintains the flexibility to reject any or all proposals, accept the most advantageous proposal following negotiations, or select an alternative proposal if no initial agreement is reached. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the solicitation documents, and no specific existing infrastructure integration requirements are mentioned.
