Description: This request for proposals (RFP) provides to those interested in submitting proposals for the subject procurement (“Offerors”) sufficient information to enable them to prepare and submit proposals for Governor’s Office of General Counsel’s consideration on behalf of Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education (“State System” and/or “Commonwealth”) to satisfy a need for legal services related to negotiation, advocacy, and implementation of collective bargaining agreements with unions representing the State System’s workforce, and other labor relations and employment related legal work as designated by the State System or the General Counsel of the Commonwealth (“Engagement”).

The State System has identified a need for legal services related to negotiation, arbitration, advocacy (including, but not limited to, representing the State System in various courts and before the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board), and implementation of collective bargaining agreements with unions representing the State System’s workforce.  The State System anticipates it may utilize labor counsel to serve as the chief negotiator during negotiations with collective bargaining organizations.  Further, labor counsel will be utilized to serve as the primary advocate in arbitration with collective bargaining organizations, such as:  APSCUF (Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculty) and SCUPA (State College and University Professional Association).  The Engagement may include other labor relations or employment related legal work as designated by the State System or the General Counsel of the Commonwealth.  For purposes of this RFP, it is the intent of the Commonwealth to consider making a multiple award.

This RFP is issued pursuant to Executive Order 2015-2 dated January 20, 2015, and in accordance with Section 518 of the Commonwealth Procurement Code, 62 P.S. § 518 and Part III Chapter 8 of the DGS Procurement Handbook.
