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) seeking qualified companies to provide as-needed aquatic weed and algae growth control services. The procurement aims to establish Master Agreements with multiple vendors to create a uniform approach for managing aquatic maintenance across various Department facilities and programs. Interested companies must submit detailed statements of qualifications demonstrating their expertise in aquatic maintenance services, with evaluation likely focusing on technical capabilities, past performance, and service delivery expertise. The solicitation seeks vendors capable of responding to task orders for weed and algae control in aquatic environments, with comprehensive service requirements outlined in the detailed RFSQ documentation. Potential respondents must contact Humberto Chairez at (626) 588-5253 or hchairez@parks.lacounty.gov for additional information, with the submission deadline set for January 16, 3025. Respondents are expected to provide comprehensive documentation of their technical capabilities, relevant experience, and capacity to deliver specialized aquatic maintenance services across County park facilities.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation, the procurement appears open to qualified firms with demonstrated expertise in aquatic maintenance services. The RFSQ indicates the County intends to establish multiple Master Agreements, suggesting a competitive selection process that will likely consider vendor qualifications, technical capabilities, and past performance. No specific incumbent vendors or existing contractors were identified in the available documentation. The procurement framework allows for flexible, as-needed task orders, which implies potential variability in contract values and service requirements. Though precise budget ranges are not specified, the Master Agreement approach suggests the County anticipates ongoing, variable-volume aquatic maintenance needs across its park system. Vendors should be prepared to demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in aquatic weed and algae growth control, with the ability to respond to diverse maintenance requirements across different park facilities and aquatic environments.
