This is an Evaluation Score Matrix Summary document for an Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Request for Proposal (RFP# S-73000-00013359) for Specifications for National Bridge Inventory (SNBI) Services. The procurement seeks professional engineering consultants to provide comprehensive bridge inspection services across seven geographic regions in Oregon, with ODOT anticipating seven separate contract awards. The RFP requires proposers to maintain at least one Registered Civil Engineer and one Bridge Inspection Team Leader, and to demonstrate capabilities in collecting detailed bridge infrastructure data, performing structural inspections, and reporting findings using standardized coding methods. Services include traffic control, project management, and seasonal bridge inspections designed to maximize efficiency during low stream or canal flows. The proposal submission deadline was October 15, 2025, with contracts expected to be effective by October 2025 and to last approximately four years. Proposals were evaluated on multiple criteria including understanding of services, project team qualifications, capabilities, supporting resources, and proposal clarity, with a maximum possible score of 220 points.

The evaluation summary reflects scores from four evaluators across seven competing firms. David Evans and Associates, Inc. ranked first with a final score of 195, followed by Consor North America, Inc. at 190 and Fickett Structural Solutions, Inc. at 181. The contract will be funded by Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funds, and while no specific Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal applies to this solicitation, ODOT maintains an overall DBE participation goal of 15.37% for federally funded contracts. The contract will be structured as a fixed-price agreement with a total not-to-exceed amount to be negotiated following the proposal evaluation process, covering labor, overhead, expenses, and potential contingency tasks. Proposers were required to provide professional liability insurance, maintain detailed records, comply with federal and state regulations including Title VI non-discrimination provisions, and complete conflict of interest disclosures and debarment verifications.
