"Continuous", Establish a Qualified Pool for Administrative Hearing Officers

The City of San Diego is creating a five‑year pool of qualified, independent Administrative Hearing Officers who will be called on an as‑needed basis to conduct hearings for various city departments. Applicants must be California‑licensed attorneys with at least three years of administrative‑hearing experience and must submit a completed Statement of Qualifications, a Contractor Standards Pledge of Compliance, and an electronic signature via the PlanetBids portal. The contract is a 5‑year term (2026‑2031) with monthly invoicing for each hearing performed; bonds, insurance, and compliance certifications are required. • Eligible firms must be California‑licensed attorneys with ≥ 3 years of administrative hearing experience. • The pool will be used rotationally; hearings may be conducted in‑person or remotely across San Diego. • Submissions are electronic only, with an initial deadline of 5 Jan 2026 and a final deadline of 5 Jan 2031; no oral Q&A is permitted. • Compensation is per‑hearing (rate not disclosed), invoiced monthly; bonds and insurance are required before work begins.
