Title: Panel of Legal Service Providers

The Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD) issued a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP 24‑04) to create a five‑year panel of legal service providers covering five distinct “class” categories of work. The district will award contracts to multiple law firms—38 distinct firms are listed across the classes—so that any of the firms may be called upon to handle matters ranging from routine civil‑rights and employment issues (Class I) to complex construction, real‑property, and environmental work (Class II), investigations (Class III), workers’‑compensation cases (Class IV), and specialized counsel for the District Citizens’ Oversight Committee (Class V). The contract runs from August 1 2024 through July 31 2029, with rates anchored to “reasonable” hourly benchmarks that must remain stable for the contract term. The procurement process was open, with a proposal deadline of April 23 2024, a Q&A period, and interview windows in mid‑May. The district’s procurement office (email [email protected], phone (213) 891‑2421) is the point of contact. No monetary ceiling was disclosed, but historical legal spend totals roughly $26 million over the prior two fiscal years, indicating a sizeable potential revenue stream for the awarded firms. • Multi‑award legal‑services panel covering five classes of work. • Five‑year term (Aug 2024 – Jul 2029) with rates fixed for the contract period. • 38 law firms selected; award pending Board of Trustees approval (June 12 2024).
