Request For Statement of Qualifications for As-needed Aquatic Maintenance Services

The County of Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation has issued a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) for as-needed aquatic weed and algae growth control services across various Department facilities. This procurement seeks to establish Master Agreements with qualified companies that can provide uniform aquatic maintenance services for the County's aquatic areas and programs. The primary objective is to create a pre-qualified vendor pool capable of performing specialized aquatic maintenance services on an as-needed basis. Prospective respondents must demonstrate technical capability and expertise in aquatic weed and algae control through their submitted qualifications. The solicitation requires detailed documentation proving contractors' competence in addressing aquatic maintenance challenges. Interested firms must submit their qualifications by January 16, 3025, with questions directed to Humberto Chairez at (626) 588-5253 or hchairez@parks.lacounty.gov. Spanish-language support is also available through the same contact point.

The RFSQ does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises based on the provided documentation. The procurement approach utilizes a master agreement framework, which allows for flexible, on-call contracting without a fixed-price structure. This method enables the County to engage pre-qualified contractors efficiently as operational needs arise across park facilities. While specific budget ranges or award values are not detailed in the available information, the solicitation suggests a potentially ongoing, multi-year arrangement for aquatic maintenance services. The contract structure implies that selected vendors will be part of a rotating pool of qualified contractors, with individual service requests and corresponding compensation determined on an as-needed basis. The procurement appears designed to create an adaptable, responsive mechanism for managing aquatic maintenance requirements across Los Angeles County's park system.
