REQUESTS FOR PROPOSAL
City of Westminster Municipal Court - Public Defender Click here for the full RFP. The City of Westminster Municipal Court seeks legal representation for indigent and in-custody defendants. Such legal representation would serve as the City’s Public Defender (hereinafter, “Public Defender”). The Public Defender would represent eligible defendants on matters where the defendant is charged with a municipal code violation, including domestic violence, criminal traffic violations, and in cases where incarceration is a possible sentence based on the original charge(s). In its discretion, the Court may additionally appoint the Public Defender in cases where a defendant’s competency has been raised.
The City is willing to consider multiple attorneys from the same firm working to cover the court rooms, or a combination of attorneys from multiple firms if necessary. The City understands that having two full time attorneys at the court house four days a week is preferable but may exclude bidders, so the City is open to any proposals and alternate work plans that achieve the goal of having two full time positions filled through two or more attorneys throughout the week. Preference will be given to the most consistent and responsible firm or collection of firms with an emphasis on the lowest number of firms necessary to fill the two full time position equivalent.
The City will be considering Proposals starting March 16, 2020, but will continue to accept proposals submitted after that date if no acceptable solution is proposed by that date to achieve the goals listed in this RFP. The RFP will be removed from listservs or job boards once the needs of the City are met.
Work Schedule The City of Westminster Municipal Court operates two full time courtrooms. A minimum of one qualified attorney for each of the two individual courtrooms is required each day court is in session. The City is open to separate firms providing the totality of Public Defender services requested. Preference will be given to those firms or individuals that can staff the two positions on a consistent and reliable basis with the least amount of combination of firms. The consistency and quality are some of the highest valued qualities for this request.
The Court is open Monday through Thursday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and both courtrooms are in operation on all four days. The Public Defender is scheduled Monday through Thursday, starting at 8:00 a.m. until all daily dockets are finished. Both courtrooms are normally closed for lunch break from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
