Background

The American Rescue Plan, signed into law in March 2021, provides $350 billion in funding for state and local governments to build an equitable economic recovery from the devastating economic effects caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Los Angeles County has embarked on a sweeping effort to address longstanding inequities and transform underserved communities that have been hard hit during the pandemic with investments from the American Rescue Plan Act and other funding sources. 

On July 27, 2021, the Board adopted Phase One Spending Plan which allocated $975 million of the $1.9 billion dollars received as the first tranche of spending as Phase 1 of the County’s plan.  Phase 1 of the spending plan covers three pillars:

Emerging from the Pandemic Better than Before Through Equity-Based Investments: Allocates $567.9 million

      • Investments are designed to increase housing for people experiencing homelessness, create more affordable housing,  reduce the digital divide, and build wealth in communities that have historically been left out of generational wealth gains.
      • $87.7 million of these investments support the Care First Community Investments (formerly Measure J) to resource the Board’s “Care First, Jails Last” vision.

Building a Bridge to an Equitable Recovery: Allocates $239.68 million

      • Deploys supportive services through an equity lens to jumpstart recovery for those who have suffered the most. It focuses on stabilizing sectors hardest hit by the pandemic, including small businesses and entrepreneurs and the arts and the creative economy; creating opportunities for more stable employment and housing; and providing much needed services for families (e.g., food security, childcare and other services)

Fiscal Stability and Social Safety Net: Allocates $239.68 million

      • Shores up LA County’s safety net to ensure its own firm financial footing as we emerge from the pandemic.

In total, 81 programs are funded through ARP and administered by 17 departments across the Count, from Parks and Rec and Library to Public Health and Health Services. Through December 2024, a wide range of service providers, vendors, ​​organizations and businesses will be needed to achieve these objectives. This website will be updated regularly with information about solicitations and contracting opportunities. 

Solicitations and contract opportunities will be available to support American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act and Care First Community Investment (CFCI). Learn more about these programs below.

Resources

The County’s Chief Executive Office has released a Request For Statement of Qualification (RFSQ) to identify qualified vendors for the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Support Services Master Agreement.

What is a Master Agreement (MA)?

Master Agreements (MA) are utilized when the County desires a list of pre-qualified vendors to perform various services, on an as-needed basis. Vendors have the opportunity to submit their qualifications through a solicitation process, Request For Statement of Qualification (RFSQ). Vendors who meet the minimum qualifications identified in the RFSQ and accept the terms and conditions of the MA become County contractors in the specific category for which they qualified. As services are required, MA contractors are solicited in the categories for which they are pre-qualified. Work or purchase orders are typically awarded to the lowest priced, qualified bidder, unless the work or purchase order solicitation identifies other specific evaluation criteria.
