SDAO Senior Consultants will assist districts in the procurement of other specialty consultants such as engineers, architects, planners, rate economists, accountants, auditors, and other specialists. Depending on the needs of the district, SDAO Senior Consultants can assist in identifying applicable state procurement requirements, prepare requests for proposals, propose evaluation criteria, administer the consultant procurement process, provide outreach to prospective consultants, coordinate the district’s consultant selection, and coordinate contracting with the selected consultant. These services can be scaled to meet the unique needs of the district from offering limited guidance and suggestions, to providing full-service consultant procurement support.
