Mailbox Only - Request for Proposal for Administrative Hearing Officer

The City of Fresno seeks qualified individuals to serve as Administrative Hearing Officers (AHOs) who will adjudicate a variety of city‑generated enforcement matters (e.g., false‑alarm, parking, dangerous‑animal citations). The role is performed on a case‑by‑case basis, with compensation either hourly or per case, and no guaranteed minimum volume of work. Proposers must demonstrate a bachelor’s degree and substantive experience in administrative hearing procedures, legal writing, and evidentiary rules. The contract will be “mailbox only” (paper submission) and the City reserves the right to award multiple officers or none at all. • Conduct independent administrative hearings, issue written decisions, and maintain case logs. • Submit monthly time‑and‑case reports and invoices; payment based on a negotiated hourly or per‑case rate. • Must comply with City procurement rules, conflict‑of‑interest disclosures, and local‑preference requirements (office within 25 mi of City Hall). • No pre‑bid conference or site visit; proposals due by May 18, 2026 5 PM (PDT) via email to Alex Lee. • The engagement is ongoing with no set end date; the City may terminate with 7‑day notice.
