  • YEAR CREATED: 2009
  • ENTITY TYPE: County
  • TYPE OF DOCUMENT: POL - Policies/Procedures
The document outlines a Services Contract Solicitation Protest Policy for the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. The purpose of the policy is to establish a process for proposers to seek review of a solicitation for a Board-approved service contract. The document references various board orders, memos, and guidelines related to the policy. The policy states that each department must comply with the policy and implementation guidelines, allowing proposers to seek review if they meet certain criteria. The criteria include being a proposer and alleging in detail with factual reasons that the solicitation requirements or the department's selection process unfairly disadvantaged the proposer. The document also mentions the scope of review and the availability of the proposer's proposal and evaluation documents. It states that the Chief Executive Office, County Counsel, Internal Services Department, and Auditor-Controller will issue implementation guidelines consistent with the policy. Additionally, the document includes an attachment that reports on best practices for evaluation scoring methodology in requests for proposals and requests for statement of qualifications, as well as document retention. The report discusses the relative merits of consensus scoring and individual (averaging) scoring methods and provides survey results on current scoring methods used in other jurisdictions. It also highlights the importance of avoiding personal bias and misinterpretation of proposals during the evaluation process, as these factors can lead to inaccurate scoring.
