Project Overview
The Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) issued Request for Proposals (RFP No. HA-2025-92) to establish a multi-vendor panel for environmental consulting services. The procurement is structured as an as-needed services contract focused on environmental compliance, hazard assessment, and remediation advisory, with particular emphasis on lead-based paint and materials containing lead.
The contract structure reflects HACLA’s need for ongoing environmental support across its housing portfolio. Services are deployed through task orders issued under a master agreement framework, allowing flexibility in project execution and resource allocation.
