How to bid on Municipal Advisory Services for LA County Treasurer and Tax Collector
What LA County is buying and why it matters
The Los Angeles County Department of Treasurer and Tax Collector (TTC) is seeking qualified firms to provide municipal advisory services. The TTC plans to create a pool of approved firms to fulfill these needs. This is an opportunity for firms specializing in municipal advisory services to establish a three-year agreement with LA County.
Being part of this pool means your firm could be selected for various projects requiring municipal advisory expertise for the County of Los Angeles.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The initial deadline for submitting Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) was March 28, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time. However, the TTC may continue to accept SOQs on a rolling basis after this initial deadline. They will do so until they determine that the pool of firms is sufficient to meet the County's needs. The TTC has the discretion to stop accepting SOQs at any time after the initial deadline.
Firms that submitted by the initial deadline will be considered for the establishment of an initial pool. The expected term for the Master Agreement is three years, starting from the execution of the first individual agreement.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for firms with expertise in municipal advisory services. Firms must meet the minimum mandatory requirements outlined in the Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ). This is a technology-related category, indicating a need for modern and efficient advisory solutions.
Your firm should be prepared to comply with all terms and conditions of the RFSQ and the sample Master Agreement, as these terms are not negotiable.
How to respond
To access the solicitation documents, you can visit the County of Los Angeles website at camisvr.co.la.ca.us/lacobids. Select "Open Solicitations" and search for "Municipal Advisory Services." Alternatively, you can find the RFSQ on the TTC's website at ttc.lacounty.gov/contract-opportunities/. It is your responsibility to download and review the entire RFSQ.
Prepare your Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) in accordance with Paragraph 7 of the RFSQ. Ensure your SOQ meets all requirements, including those for content and format. Once prepared, email your SOQ to [email protected].
Tips for a competitive response
Carefully review the RFSQ, especially Paragraph 3, which details the minimum mandatory requirements. Ensure your firm clearly demonstrates how it meets each of these points in your SOQ. Any firm not meeting these minimums will not be considered.
Pay close attention to Exhibit D, Statement of Work, of Appendix A, Sample Contract, to understand the specific services required. Tailor your SOQ to directly address these service requirements, highlighting your firm's relevant experience and capabilities. Organize your response clearly and concisely, following all formatting instructions to make it easy for the evaluators to review.
