MODL - Legal Risk Review Integration, County, 2017

  • YEAR CREATED: 2017
This document is a submission for the Innovation Award 2017 by Ada County. The project implemented by Ada County in October 2015 is focused on integrating a legal risk review into the county's procurement process. The purpose of this review is to ensure that procurements do not pose undue risk on the county and have appropriate insurance, warranty, and contract terms. The legal risk review helps to mitigate potential contractual, financial, or legal liabilities and aims to prevent lawsuits and litigation. The review is divided into seven types of procurements, each with a dollar threshold, and a Legal Review Matrix was created to guide clients on when legal consultation is required. The document also highlights the originality of the project, the effectiveness in meeting client needs and goals, and the significance of addressing the need for risk assessment in procurements. The legal risk review has resulted in improved procurement decision-making, adherence to statutes, and reduced likelihood of claims against the county. The project has also created a heightened awareness of risk and is now a mandatory step in the county's procurement system. The impact of the legal risk review on the county is that it has substantially raised the bar on procurement practices, ensuring that potential risks are thoroughly evaluated and mitigated.
