LOS ANGELES - The Civil + Human Rights and Equity Department (LA Civil Rights) is seeking various partners, vendors, and contractors to assist in strengthening the city's diversity, equity, and accountability. LA Civil Rights has released multiple Requests for Proposals (RFPs) that eligible vendors are invited to respond to. See details for each RFP and their individual submission deadlines below. Learn more at RAMPLA.org.
Rereleased On-Call Community Outreach and Engagement:
Submission Deadline: 4/17/2023, 08:00 AM PDT
The City of Los Angeles, Civil, Human Rights, and Equity Department (CHRED) is establishing a pre-qualified list of vendors, contractors, and organizations that can provide on-call, as-needed community outreach when the department requires an external partner meaningfully and authentically engage Angelenos.
The result of this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) will be a call list with an estimated 5 - 10 organizations, each with a 3-year contract. When needed, the department will issue a Task Order Solicitation (TOS) that will specify the immediate need. Organizations will then be asked for a price for the services requested. Based on the qualifications of the organizations and cost, an organization will be selected to implement the service needed.
Organizations will be required to carry minimum insurance as specified in Attachment 2 and hold an active Business Tax Registration Certificate (BTRC) through the term of the contract.
There is no guaranteed minimum dollar amount or guaranteed selection for services. An additional benefit of being pre-qualified through the LA Civil Rights Department is that organizations will be able to do similar work for all City Departments as needed without having to go through another contracting process. Departments will be able to piggyback on the existing LA Civil Rights contract, and vendors will invoice the requesting department directly.
