Minnesota Statute 14.49 authorizes the chief administrative law judge to contract with qualified individuals to serve as administrative law judges when regularly appointed judges are not available. The availability of contract administrative law judges enables the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) to provide hearing services to state agencies on the dates and at the location requested when none of the OAH's regularly appointed administrative law judges are available to deliver those services. Contracting with qualified individuals at competitively low hourly rates also has enabled the OAH to avoid increases in the hourly rates that it charges to state agencies and political subdivisions when providing the hearings necessary for many of their regulatory programs.

The contractor met the agency's timelines for deliverables.
The contractor had high rates of quality in written reports - performance that improved over the course of the contract.
The contractor agreed to the prevailing rate offered by candidates who responded to the agency's RFP.
The contractor's performance under the contract met all of the high standards of timeliness and quality that apply to the performance of regularly appointed administrative law judges. The contractor's performance also enabled OAH to provide hearing services to state agencies and political subdivisions on the dates and at the locations requested. The competitive cost of the contractor's services allowed OAH to provide administrative hearing services to state agencies and political subdivisions with no increase in hourly rates during the life of the contract. That, in turn, assisted those governmental units to hold down the costs of necessary regulatory programs.
