STATE LEGISLATIVE, BUDGET AND ADVOCACY SERVICES

The Los Angeles Community College District issued RFP 20‑08 to secure professional services that monitor state legislation, analyze the California state budget, and conduct advocacy on behalf of the district’s nine community colleges. The solicitation is divided into three optional service classes (legislative & advocacy consulting, state‑budget advocacy consulting, and statewide/district advocacy consulting), and the district may award any combination of these classes to one or more vendors. Proposers were required to submit detailed fee schedules (hourly rates, reimbursables) and extensive compliance documentation (insurance, non‑collusion affidavits, non‑discrimination certifications, etc.). After a public bidding period that closed on 9 Nov 2020, the district indicated its intent to award contracts to MGI Advocacy Inc. and Resolute Company, pending Board of Trustees approval. The base contract term runs from 1 Jan 2021 through 31 Dec 2024, with a possible two‑year extension.
