WHAT THEY WANT

(Summarized from the RFP)

The California Department of Consumer Affairs, Contractors State License Board, is seeking an experienced arbitration firm to run its statewide arbitration program for construction disputes between consumers and licensed contractors. The Board licenses and regulates more than 300,000 contractors and receives about 22,000 complaints a year, and for roughly 21 years has referred eligible complaints to arbitration. It wants a partner that can deliver sound, timely and unbiased resolutions statewide and bring creative, proven alternative dispute resolution techniques, such as electronic document exchange and video or teleconference hearings.
