Request for Proposals (RFP) LACI TIG25 Shared Governance Development
Posted:
Closing Date:
Atlanta Legal Aid Society (ALAS) seeks proposals from qualified consulting firms to evaluate, propose, and facilitate the development of a Shared Governance Framework for the Legal Aid Content Intelligence (LACI) system.
The purpose of this engagement is to assess our current landscape and future horizons to establish a sustainable, collaborative model for the open-source management of LACI. The selected vendor will work with ALAS and its national partners to design a governance structure that balances high technical integrity with a "low-effort buy-in" for participating organizations. Crucially, this framework must also accommodate LACI's diverse and growing ecosystem, which includes open-source developers, third-party technology vendors, and LSC funded or non-LSC funded legal service providers.
The ultimate goal is to transition LACI from a single-agency development project into a multi-state collaborative governance body, capable of overseeing long-term maintenance, code contributions, and feature prioritization for the entire LACI ecosystem.
