It shall be the responsibility of interested Offerors to adhere to any changes or revisions to the RFP as identified in this Addendum No. 1. This documentation shall become permanent and made part of the departmental files. Attachment A: Pre-Proposal Agenda and Sign-In Sheet Question No. 1: As it relates to this solicitation, are there any incumbents, or is this a new requirement? Can you provide an indication of the volume as it relates to hearing officer services? (e.g., how many hearings per year on average) Answer No. 1: This is a new procurement. Santa Fe County undertakes a procurement every four years to secure on-call legal services. The general legal services contracts currently in place will end by July, 2025. New general on-call attorney service providers will be selected through this procurement. The volume of hearing officer services varies by topic. For personnel matters there may be none in a given year, or there may be several. Land use matters are more consistent, with hearings anticipated monthly. The number of cases on the docket each month varies. Santa Fe County Ordinance 202304 established a property nuisance abatement ordinance. There has been only one hearing to date under Ordinance 2023-04. The frequency of nuisance abatement hearings is unpredictable. Question No. 2: Are the hearing officer services limited to employment matters? Answer No. 2: No. Santa Fe County is seeking hearing officers in a variety of areas. For example, in addition to employment and labor matters, there will be hearings addressing compliance with the County’s Sustainable Land Development Code as well as nuisance abatement hearings. 102 Grant Avenue · P.O.
