Solicitation/Project Title:
Workers' Compensation Defense Counsel

Description:
This request for proposals (RFP) provides to those law firms interested in submitting proposals for the subject procurement (“Offerors”) sufficient information to enable them to prepare and submit proposals for the Governor’s Office of General Counsel’s consideration on behalf of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (“Commonwealth”) to satisfy a need for legal services to provide workers’ compensation defense counsel for several programs administered by the Department of Labor and Industry (“L&I”), including the State Workers’ Insurance Fund (“SWIF”), Uninsured Employers Guaranty Fund (“UEGF”) and Self Insurance Guaranty Fund (“SIGF”).

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.

L&I has identified a need for workers’ compensation defense counsel to litigate workers’ compensation claims filed against SWIF, which is a workers’ compensation insurance carrier, and its insureds, and the UEGF and SIGF, which are statutorily created funds that pay workers’ compensation benefits in certain circumstances.  The litigation of claims involving these entities includes practicing before Workers’ Compensation Judges, the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board, common pleas courts and appellate courts, as well as in the federal black lung and longshore and harbor workers compensation forums.  The engagement may include other general work as designated by the Chief Counsel of L&I or the Governor’s Office of General Counsel.  For purposes of this RFP, the Commonwealth will be making a limited multiple award to the highest evaluated Law Firms based upon the criterion set forth in this RFP.
