Specifications include, but are not limited to: The University of California San Francisco is seeking to qualify a panel of firms who can competently, fairly and efficiently perform workplace investigations and prepare investigation reports to supplement UCSF’s internal workplace investigation services. Consistent with California law for those investigators covered by California Bus & Prof Code Section 7523, responding firms or individuals must either be licensed to practice law in California or licensed in California as Private Investigators. Therefore, we will look to responding firms to identify and assign individuals to perform the work who can meet those statutory requirements. UCSF conducts a wide variety of workplace fact-finding investigations and other specialized investigations, some of which are unique to its role as a large public research and health care institution. Some of the investigations are mandated by University policies and/or legal requirements. Many have specified policy or regulatory timeframes within which they must be completed. While UCSF maintains some experienced investigators as full-time employees in various departments, it has seen incredible growth over the past 10 years and, as a result, has experienced periods when it needed to supplement its in-house investigations staff with outside investigations services. It is our hope that we can establish a panel of pre-qualified investigations services firms and enter into agreements as to terms and rates so that those investigators may be efficiently utilized by our community through the use of Purchase Orders with a specified scope of work for each assignment. We are looking for firms or individuals to perform investigations across all types of workplace issues and your firm may specify which types of investigations it wishes to be qualified and selected to provide. We expect that not all providers will be qualified to perform investigations in all subject matter areas. Experience in performing investigations for research universities and/or academic medical centers is a preferred qualification. For those firms who wish to be qualified to perform Title IX investigations under the University’s policies relating to Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment, we require investigators to be appropriately trained to conduct trauma-informed investigations. For these sensitive investigations, we also prefer investigators who have completed a recognized certification program for Title IX investigators, or who have equivalent experience in the area of Title IX law and legal requirements.
