1.1SUMMARY OVERVIEW AND WORK ORDER CONTRACT (“WOC”) OBJECTIVES

Oregon Department of Transportation (“Agency” or “ODOT") is requesting supplemental information regarding specific A&E and Related Services experience relevant to the development of the Southwest Corvallis Area Plan, TGM 2B-22 (the “Southwest Area Plan Project” or “Project”).

Project Purpose The purpose of the Southwest Area Plan Project is to develop a specific plan through a public process for adoption by the Corvallis City Council that refines land uses and provides an orderly plan for the development of local street networks and alternative transportation options to create safe, low-stress, and convenient navigation through the area. The Southwest Area Plan is intended to refine land uses in response to urbanization patterns in the area, state rulemaking on middle housing and Climate Friendly and Equitable Communities (“CFEC”), and local changes to land use zoning options. The expected outcome is a plan for Southwest Corvallis that establishes thoughtful zoning patterns, local street networks and alternative transportation options, and a sense of community and neighborhood character for the area. The needed Services are further described in the attached Sample Work Order Contract (Attachment B).

Project Objectives Project Objectives include the following:

· Refine land uses to create lively neighborhoods with a mix of housing types, workplaces, shops, schools, and parks for people of all ages, incomes and abilities.

· Creating a sense of community and neighborhood character for the area.

· Provide a plan for the development of local street networks and alternative transportation options to create safe, low-stress, and convenient travel conditions for all modes.

· Implement recent legislation on middle housing and updated Transportation Planning Rules (OAR Chapter 660 Division 12).

· A comprehensive final Southwest Area Plan, including final code and policy updates, to meet all key objectives identified within the scope of services set forth in Attachment B (the “Services”).

Proposers responding to the Mini-RFP do so solely at their expense. Agency is not responsible for any Proposer expenses associated with the Mini-RFP.

The selected Proposer and Agency will negotiate the delivery schedule, costs and final Statement of Work, within the scope of Services set forth below and in Attachment B, for inclusion in the final WOC:

A&E and Related Services related to Transportation Planning including, but not limited to:

· Project Management and Coordination

· Analysis and Recommendations

· Public Outreach

· Policy and Plan Development and Adoption

The WOC is anticipated to start September 2024, and is expected to be completed by March 2026. Pending successful negotiations, the selected Proposer shall perform its obligations according to the WOC and applicable terms and conditions of the parent PA and exhibits thereto.

Funding Source(s):

Agency may select the next ranked responsible Proposer who has submitted a responsive proposal (provided Proposer agrees to an extended offer period, which would cover the balance of the 9 months, if at that time the offer period stated in the paragraph above has expired or soon will expire), issue an intent to award. If agreement with that Proposer is not reached, Agency may offer award to the next ranked Proposer and so on until agreement is reached or until Agency terminates the process. Agency reserves the right to require confirmation of the qualifications of any Proposer.

· If preliminary engineering and final design will be performed under the prospective WOC, Agency is not obligated to proceed with final design for any alternative. All reasonable alternatives will be evaluated and given appropriate consideration, and consultant may not proceed with final design until the relevant NEPA decision documents have been issued (e.g., Categorical Exclusion, Finding of No Significant Impact, or Record of Decision).

· If a consultant is awarded a WOC to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement, Environmental Assessment or Categorical Exclusion for a project, that consultant and its Affiliates may prepare the designs/plans/specifications for the project or may propose under a separate solicitation to prepare designs/plans/specifications for the project only if Agency concludes that the NEPA document was prepared with objectivity. Agency is not obligated to proceed with final design for any alternative. All reasonable alternatives will be evaluated and given appropriate consideration, and consultant may not proceed with final design until the relevant NEPA decision documents have been issued (e.g., Categorical Exclusion, Finding of No Significant Impact, or Record of Decision).

Application of the Oregon Public Records Law shall determine whether any information is actually exempt from disclosure. Identifying the Proposal in whole as exempt from disclosure is not acceptable. If Proposer fails to identify the portions of the Proposal that Proposer claims are exempt from disclosure and the authority used to substantiate that claim, Proposer is deemed to waive any future claim for non-disclosure of that information.

1.4PROPOSAL AND SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS (“PASS/FAIL” AND “REQUIRED” ITEMS)
1.4.1PASS/FAIL

· Items in Section 1.4 marked as “PASS/FAIL” that are incomplete (except for minor informalities), not submitted by Proposal due date and time, or are otherwise not in substantial conformance with the requirement, will be rejected as non-responsive. Proposals must comply with ALL requirements marked as “PASS/FAIL” to be considered for further evaluation.

1.4.2 REQUIRED ITEMS AND SCORING DEDUCTIONS

· Proposals will receive a 2% scoring deduction, based upon the total available points, for each item in Section 1.4 marked as “REQUIRED” that is incomplete (except for minor informalities) or not submitted with the Proposal in substantial conformance of the requirement. Incomplete or missing items must be completed and submitted within 2 business days of e-mail request by Agency (this does not apply to “PASS/FAIL” items which must be submitted by Proposal due date and time). Missing or incomplete items must be delivered via e-mail. In order to provide an appropriate time stamp. Failure to complete and deliver missing or incomplete “REQUIRED” items within 2 business days of request by Agency shall result in Proposal rejection. Time limitations will be based upon the time of the e-mail sent by Agency and the time of the e-mail sent in response to Agency notification. ·

· Proposals not in conformance with the 12-point minimum font requirements for substantive text (including text in tables) and 11-point minimum font size for resumes or Key Staff Resume form (if required) will receive a 3% scoring deduction and will not be sent back to Proposer for correction.

· Scoring deductions are on an average score per Proposal basis and not a deduction per evaluator. For example, if a Proposer received an average score of 92 points from the evaluation committee, a 2 percent scoring deduction would result in a Proposal score of 90. (Percentage will be rounded to either the lower number if under .5% or to the higher number if .5% or over.)

Agency will evaluate Proposals in accordance with the Pass/Fail criteria identified in Section 1.4. Proposals meeting those criteria will be forwarded to an evaluation committee of at least 3 members that will independently review, score and rank Proposals according to the Scoring Criteria set forth in Section 2.2.

The outcome of the Evaluation process may, at the Agency’s sole discretion, result in:

(a) notice to Proposer(s) of selection or rejection for WOC negotiation and possible award;

(b) further steps to gather additional information for evaluation, (e.g. checking references, notice of placement on an interview list, requesting clarification); or

(c) cancellation of the Mini-RFP and either re-issuance of the Mini-RFP in the same or revised form or no further action by Agency with respect to the Mini-RFP.

Agency reserves the right to reject any or all Proposals and reserves the right to cancel this Mini-RFP at any time if doing either would be in the public interest as determined by Agency. Agency is not liable for any costs a Proposer incurs while preparing or presenting the Proposal or during further evaluation stages. All unreturned Proposals will become property of Agency and part of the public file without obligation to Agency.

2.1.2 INTERVIEWS/FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS

· A minimum of 3 evaluators shall score the interviews/follow-up questions;

· Interview/follow-up question scores (up to a maximum of 20 points) will be combined with the other criteria scores to arrive at a total score. The total score will be ranked to determine the apparent successful Proposer.

· Interviews normally require physical attendance at Agency’s offices; however, Agency may elect to conduct interviews via teleconference or video conference. Further details will be included with notification of time and date of interviews, if conducted.

2.1.5 METHOD OF AWARD

The total scores and selection for tentative WOC assignment will be determined as follows:

· Total Proposal Score = Total of all evaluator scores for a given Proposal, divided by the number of evaluators, minus any SCORING DEDUCTIONS received per Section 1.4.

· Total Interview Score (if conducted) = Total of all evaluator scores for a given interviewee, divided by the number of evaluators.

· Total Reference/Performance Score (if references or performance evaluations are scored) = Total score received for all references/performance evaluations divided by the number of references/performance evaluations scored.

Final Score = Total Proposal Score plus Total Interview Score (if conducted) plus Total Reference/Performance Scores (if conducted).

Agency will negotiate the payment amount and methodology with the top ranked Proposer (based on Final Scores). If negotiations are not successful, Agency may terminate negotiations with the top ranked Proposer and may begin negotiations with the next highest ranked Proposer and so on, until successful negotiations are completed or Agency determines that cancellation of this Mini-RFP is in the best interest of the State.
