Public Defender Services

The government authority in Bellingham, Washington requires a vendor to provide comprehensive public defender services for its local jurisdiction. The selected contractor must supply at least two attorneys for all criminal court calendars, maintain 24-hour on-call availability for breath analysis testing counsel, conduct timely communications with appointed defendants, and offer representation for appeals and therapeutic court proceedings. Eligible applicants must be onshore vendors located in the United States, and the required work will be performed offsite. The buyer expects proposals to define the project budget for a one-year contract term.
