WHAT THEY WANT
(Summarized from the RFP)
The City of Covington, Washington is soliciting proposals from qualified attorneys, law firms, nonprofit entities and public agencies to provide public defense services for indigent criminal defendants facing misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor charges brought by the City. Covington does not operate its own municipal court; all of its cases are heard in King County District Court. The City is seeking a primary public defender and may also contract with one or more firms or attorneys as conflict counsel. Firms may propose for both roles but can serve in only one, and proposals must state which role or roles they address.
